It’s easy to get hooked on the follower count. But in the end, followers are a vanity metric, until your audience is actually engaged.
I'd rather have a hundred loyal members who show up, comment, and support me than have 1000 silent followers any day.
Shifting focus from “getting more followers” to building loyalty changes everything.
Why ?
You start prioritizing real interactions over shiny numbers.
Respond to comments, ask questions, show up consistently—even if it’s just a few people at first. People want to feel seen and valued, not like they’re just a number in your page's "Metrics" tab.
Ask yourself: if you lost 90% of your following overnight, would the remaining 10% be true ones?
Followers who support your work, trust you, and spread your message? If the answer’s no, it might be time to focus on depth over width.
