## Followers
101
- You don't need to be famous to have followers.
102
- All you need is the initiative to follow others too.
103
- It's just like building a linkedin network.
104
-
105
- The simple rule is trying to reach out: follow others
106
- that will follow you back and for those who followed
107
- you, follow them back. The chances are high if
108
- you follow those who are willing to follow others too.
109
- My example is myself, I
110
- am not even a famous, but I already have more
111
- than 1k followers (as of this writing).
112
- And even though the weight is just .45,
113
- you still need an audience for your projects.
114
- That's really a good reason to pursue this.
115
-
116
- When I started doing these things, I was shocked
117
- when I visited my Google Analytics for my site.
118
- The web traffic was good.
119
-
120
- And now, I realized one more thing: even if
121
- others don't follow back, just continue following
122
- more and more. Remember, others are paying
123
- for their page to be promoted on other
124
- sites, the act of following others is just
125
- like an advertisement also: others will
126
- know your content. The only difference
127
- is that you don't pay following
128
- others but with the same advertisement
129
- effect.
130
-
131
- Just don't overdo it much on GitHub, because
132
- it will appear on the dashboard of your
133
- followers and if you follow, say, more
134
- than 200 without a gap, their dashboard
135
- will be clogged with that and all
136
- the other necessary information for them
137
- will be removed automatically. They will
138
- be annoyed by that, for sure.

+ You don't need to be famous to have followers. All it takes
102

104
+
105
+ Be proactive: follow others who are likely to follow you
106
+ back, and reciprocate by following those who follow you. The
107
+ chances are high if you follow those who are also looking to
108
+ build their network. For example, I am not famous, but I
109
+ have more than 3k followers.
110
+
111
+ In the past, when I started doing this,
112
+ I was surprised by the increase in web traffic to
113
+ my site, as shown by Google Analytics.
114
+
115
+ Remember, even if some don't follow back, keep following
116
+ more people. This act is like free advertisement: others
117
+ will become aware of your content. Unlike paid promotions,
118
+ following others costs nothing but has a similar effect.
119
+
120
+ However, don't overdo it on GitHub. Following too many
121
+ people in a short period can clutter your followers'
122
+ dashboards, potentially annoying them. Be mindful and
123
+ considerate in your approach.
