Followers inspire you to write more. Knowing you're being followed by a collection of writers is a great feeling, especially when they view/comment on your Hub.
Hello, jalanbk!
I take it you are new to HubPages? Welcome,then. It can take time to build up a following of hundreds or a couple of thousand. For me, it is authenticity that matters. I only 'follow' a handful of Hubbers, here on HP, and these are writers whose work I actually take the time to read (it seems a lot of people just 'follow' for reasons only known to themselves, but they never support the work of the people their allegedly 'following.' Not ever).
Some people 'follow' a hubber in the hope that the hubber in question will turn around and 'follow' her; and when this doesn't happen, all of the sudden, when you log back on you find you have one LESS 'follower.'
Readership that you may attract from outside is extremely important. Its not just that that is where the "money" potentially comes from (outside readers who click the ads.... blah, blah, blah). There can be some satisfaction in doing a great job on a "hub" or article and then seeing it in a prominent place on "Google" or one of those search engine pages -- perhaps if your consistent, HP make turn into job offers for you, for writing. I've heard rumors that this has happened.
Therefore, if one aspires to be a writer, HubPages is probably the best place on the Internet to practice and develop an online profile.
Anyhooo.... Good Luck jalanbk.
All the best!

As HP seems to get more and more overwhelmed with writers from overseas who are trying to self promote or write badly, I am finding it harder and harder to pick up new accounts to follow and in turn pick up new followers. Is it just me?

I have just 373 followers and have been around for almost 15 months. I have published close to 210 hubs. People who have been around here for 15 months and have 200 hubs have way more followers than me.Well guys I also keep losing a follower or two every 3-4 days. Please let me know whats wrong...

Hello,I am new here in HubPages. Just signed up for an account a few days ago and I barely got any followers. I would like to know some tips on how to increase my number of followers aside of course, from writing a great hub and following other hubbers.

So i am an active Huuber and i write good blogs. Ones that i have found people searching for. So please no answers like, "Write good hubs that interest people." Or something like that. Could i get more followers from commenting on others hubs? Could i gain views and followers from posting...
