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.
101+ You don't need to be famous to have followers. All it takes
102+ is the initiative to follow others. It's similar to building
103+ a LinkedIn network.
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.
