First of all we need to be aware of<br />

it how hard it is to gain the first<br />

followers. Thus, we used approach<br />

in spamming our friends on<br />

Facebook and Twitter in order to<br />

gain the first followers. In hoping<br />

our friends spread the word so that<br />

we gain even more followers. This<br />

approached worked well for us, as<br />

we were able to gain the first<br />

couple of hundred followers with<br />

this strategy. For us it was really<br />

important to have first valuable<br />

content on our blog before looking<br />

for readers. We wanted to have<br />

many followers but also to keep<br />

them and turn them into loyal<br />

followers. We were convinced this<br />

could only be achieved if we<br />

convince the readers with our<br />

content. In the first weeks we<br />

really spammed all people we<br />

know in order to tell them please<br />

come and check out or blog. This<br />

was really hard work as we were<br />

constantly advertising our blog on<br />

different Social <strong>Media</strong> channels.<br />

Once we had our first loyal<br />

followers we tried to understand<br />

what they are looking for in order<br />

to keep them loyal. And on the<br />

other side we tried to gain new<br />

readers this is quite tricky, as we<br />

need to be very careful with the<br />

content. It is important to keep on<br />

posting content, which are<br />

appreciated by our followers but<br />

also trying to implement new and<br />

different contend in order to gain<br />

more followers. We always<br />

encouraged our loyal followers to<br />

invite their friends to our blog, this<br />

worked well and we gained more<br />

and more loyal followers. However,<br />

once you reach a certain number of<br />

followers it gets harder and harder<br />

to move forward to the next step<br />

away from your friends to people<br />

how have an interest in your<br />

content. We could use our<br />

experience from the loyal follower<br />

to gain new followers. For this we<br />

worked with different statistics<br />

provided by our blog in order to<br />

understand from which country<br />

our followers coming from. From<br />

this knowledge we could form out<br />

content more target towards these<br />

people from this certain country.<br />

We also looked at the statistics,<br />

which tells us which post is the<br />

most popular on in order to<br />

understand which content is<br />

popular by our readers.<br />

These statistics helped us a lot in<br />

order to understand how we could<br />

can more followers. We also<br />
