You're not allowed to use the forums for self promotion so this isn't going to work!
agreed, write more and more quality hubs followers will come automatically.
Also leaving thoughtful comments which show you are interested in more than just gathering a group of followers is advantageous. For the most part I don't bother following someone who has randomly followed a group of people in rapid succession. If anything that kind of activity can hurt your score not help it.
I'm not trying to use the forums for self promotion, I'm just trying to follow people from the community I can connect with. Those with good hubs I'll follow, and likewise if you like mine you can follow as well.
I guess my angle may have been a bit off (I'm new here). Just trying to find out how to and who to connect with.

The best ways to get followers are:
Leaving thoughtful comments on their Hubs;
Leaving thoughtful messages as Fan Mail when you follow them;
Posting thoughtful comments in the Forums;
Responding intelligently to comments others leave on your Hubs;
Responding in the Question/Answer section with good Answers.
ETA: Following others - they will probably check you out and see if they want to follow you.
When people see what you have to offer, they will check out your Hubs, and the ones who are interested in your topic and the way you write will become your followers.
In any event, Welcome to HubPages!! I hope you enjoy your time here!

I joined Hubpages about three weeks ago. At the moment, my Hubscore is 86, I'm getting about 30-40 views/day, and the periodic comments I've received have been mostly positive. But I have a grand total of one follower. Is there something I am missing, or is this typical for new people like me?

Have you noticed that the high earners on HubPages appear to follow very few writers themselves?Could it be said then, that it is more important to have a following than it is to follow back other writers and Are we spending too much time commenting at the cost of writing new content?

I joined HubPages about a year ago, and I have published at least 50 featured hubs. I only have 4 followers. I would like to find out how to increase my followers. Thanks everyone.

In my years on this site I have seen so many people randomly follow me in hopes that I follow them back. And then as soon as I do, if the topics they write on interest me, they delete me from the hubbers they're following?Do you guys really think this makes people want to read and comment on...

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...

I presently follow 1,975 hub members. My followers are 1,436. I remember hearing something about it being best to unfollow those that are not active on your hubs or that hold no further interest for you.So, I've been doing this. My question is: Have I been mislead or am I...
