HOW TO HAVE A 1000 FOLLOWERS!


Don't ask me.

I don't even know why fools fall in love!

But Alex Cavanaugh has written a great post on how to do it :

http://alexjcavanaugh.blogspot.com/2012/01/you-cant-reach-1000-followers-by-being.html

He has pointed out 4 bloggers who are very close :

Nicole :

Matthew :
http://theqqqe.blogspot.com/

Jesse :
http://jesseacohen.blogspot.com/


The fourth? Shy, bashful me.

Visit the three above and tell them Roland & Alex sent you. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

    And I followed all these other awesome bloggers, if the follow button worked for them, lol.

  28. Double checked, and I'm still following. Weird that GFC does that, though, it's done it to me before, too.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  32. You're almost there! You can do it. I'd help, but I followed you a LONG time ago. I plan to be a better commenter, too. Looking forward to more of your awesome posts and writing!

    Happy New Year! :)

    ReplyDelete
  33. I heard through the grapevine that you were nearing 1000 followers...very well deserved. Your blog is unique and you give it that special touch that is you. I just stopped by to say hi and wish you a Happy New Year! I'm still hiding from blogger and not quite sure when I'll be back to posting or hopping. Take care of yourself, Roland. :)

    ReplyDelete
  34. WOW! Blogger took my comments right before I was going to publish!

    LET'S SEE IF I CAN REMEMBER THE GEMS I WROTE. LOL.

    Sarah :
    Your friendship makes blogging even more special.

    You made my afternoon with your visit and nice words. Now, I'm off to the blood wars as a rare blood courier. Wish me luck, everyone. The roads are treacherous out there! Roland

    ReplyDelete
  39. Hey Roland, I'm glad you left me that little message. I had not seen you come upon my 'dashboard' in a while and when I get here, I was not a'follower'. What's with that. I'm sure I had been.

    Anyway...I'm a ditzy blond, so it could have been me. Then there is the fact that blogger hates me. So, there you go. I'm on board now.

    I looked at the 'Hot Kiss Blogfest' and followed her site. Hopefully it will remind me. I'm shameless when it comes to excerpts from my WIP and a little 'free input'.

    Good luck on the 1000.I'm sure you'll be there in no time at all.

  40. Just twenty more to go! It WILL happen this week. Matthew just went over so you're not far behind.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Good luck on the 1,000 followers. Nothing to be shy or bashful about! And have a great 2012!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Congratulations on your milestone!
    I found your blog through Alex's recommendation and I'm your new follower.
    Happy New Year! Looking forward to your posts.

    Blogger hates me. I will try to be a better visitor, but being a rare blood courier takes so much of my time! Even now, I am at work, waiting for a hospital to call! LOL.

    Alex :
    Thank you, my friend. I am taking anything for granted. I hope you like my Insecure Writer Support post tomorrow!

    Thank you, Stephen!
    You have a great 2012 yourself, Roland

    ReplyDelete
  47. I read it Roland...and yeah I remember you, I have been reading you a couple of years back, but I lost track of you...maybe because I have been so irregular in my blog!

    I guess I have been following you too!

    And you have read me also a couple of times...:) I could recall that!

    Yeo...see you again later!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Okay, Roland, I'm about to follow you, so you've got one more! I popped over from Alex's blog post, and then I realized that you and I were both in Susan Kaye Quinn's Indie Book fest! I'm the author of Fireseed One. Cheers! Catherine

  49. INLUVWITHWORDS :
    I went to your site from Alex's blog at the same time! Cool. I'm your latest follower. Come back again, Roland

    Amity :

    Catherine :

    Thanks for following me. Your FIRESEED ONE sounds intriguing. We are kindred spirits. Have a lovely week, Roland

  50. Hi Roland .. that's great .. so nearly there - one to go - where are you Mr Last One? .. dear Bayou ghosts please release Roland's latest follower lurking there .. don't be jealous .. he conscientiously does his blood runs for you .. and is constantly mentioning you ..

    The fog of mist will clear and that one last follower will materialise .. before you start with number 1 of 1000+ ..

    Have a great year Roland .. and many happy days with your writings .. cheers Hilary
