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 />
started to post our link to similar
