I finally reached 500 followers. I am happy that I finally got there. It took me almost 6 months to go from 400 followers to 500 followers.
Congratulations, Sid! A great accomplishment which you well deserve. Glad I am included in your entourage.
Wow well done sid - that's a great achievement (especially since you don't have an avatar of a pretty girl lol - which seems to really boost the rate of followers - maybe a pretty bird does the trick too :-) - not saying those guys don't also get followers for other reasons btw). I'm not even up to 50 yet so 500 seems like a pipe dream at this point.
Did you notice/Do you think the rate at which you accrued followers increased as your overall number of followers increased or just as a reflection of your volume of work and/or activity on hubpages?
LOL! Randy does fine with venomous snake avatars!
Gosh, if I thought folks would fall for a beautiful woman named "Wesman" I might give the purty gurl avatar a try!
Yep, I always do things the hard way, Wesman. I figured it would be a challenge getting followers using an avatar of a creature many folks dislike. Whether this is true or not remains to be seen.
Thanks Randy, for being part my follower list. I appreciate it.
Hmmm Looks like pretty girls, pretty birds, snakes and dudes with guitars are all very popular these days.Weswoman could be your alter ego on another a/c and you could see how it goes.
I could use 2, and only 2, more followers to get me to 333.
Are you sure you shouldn't double that number?
Hey Paradigm - 3 new followers will see me at 33 so i need 33.33% more new followers than you to reach my lofty goal lol
Looks like you got some worthy hubs there...
Thanks Dude - Just need to up the volume significantly.You've got plenty of interesting stuff yourself - just been reading the one on 'the whooping cough' which i incidentally had as a child - very informative.
