Im curious as to how long i took hubbers with high amounts of follers to grow their fanbase. How long did it take you to break 50 followers?
Followers don't make you money; they're just a pretty number on your profile and occasionally good for a few comments.
Maybe you should be asking how long it took hubbers to break 500 visits per day.
As WryLilt says, followers do not make you money. Followers are fellow writers who like your work. They are all members of HubPages and the main reason they're here is the same as you - to write, not to read.
It's not possible to build a fanbase here as you would on a blog.
I concur with WryLilt, your new and if your hubs/content is good, the followers will come. I would be more concerned of getting traffic rather than followers
That would be difficult to answer since we don't pay that close attention over time. Your followers will build in time as you read and comment on others' hubs, participate in the forums and Q&A, and post new hubs.
When people get to know you, they will decide to follow and vice versa. It is nice to have followers build because they will also share you hubs with their followers which multiplies your views, comments, and potential sharing on social media. But don't worry about pushing it by following a bunch of people too soon. Let it happen naturally while you participate and enjoy the community as you write. This is not Facebook, no need to "friend" everybody to grow that follow number. Have fun and good luck.
thanks for the feedback guys, that's what I love about hubpages, the support you guys offer. I will continue to publish hubs and allow my followers to accumulate naturally

Another one only has 3 hubs and has about 623 followers..I'm just confused.. I thought the more hubs you have, the...

I am still new to Hubpages and have been enjoying a rather successful start. Thank you to those who have voted my articles up and those few of you who have begun to follow me. But I have noticed one thing of late and maybe it is the way it goes but I think it is disrespectful. I have commented on a...

What about followers who never read, or give feedback? Should we continue to read & note theirs?I am happy to have 85 followers. I read everyone of their Hubs, and comment 99% of the time, only a handful do the same. Should I keep on reading and encouraging them when they don't do anything...

Anyone else losing hubber score?The funny thing is I find the more I comment on other hubs, the lower my score goes...honest. Crazy, but honest. I had a 98 score for weeks and weeks when I wasn't able to read as many hubs and leave comments. I wanted to make up for lost time and...

What is the best way to get followers on Hubpages?I follow hubbers if I enjoy their material but with so many hubbers out there how to I encourage people to follow me? I try to write quality material that is fun to read, participate a little in forums and ask/answer questions. Is it a case of...

On New Year's Day I acquired my 500th follower. In addition to this, I hope to reach another milestone within the next two weeks - the 500,000th visit to my hubs in 4 years. As far as page visits is concerned my goal now is to double this and reach a million views in the next 2 years. But although...
