Hi everyone...again!
I have had my blog for almost a month now and I am having a hard time getting followers.
My goal is to try to get at least 50 by the end of the year.
Do you have any suggestions on how to do this?
I would love to break into double digits by this weekend.
Let me know what you think!
Share my blog with all your buddies!
Happy Crafting!

Good luck sweetie! I'm in the same boat, I've had my blog since November and I have 15 followers and I advertise my blog everywhere, I even hand out little cards with my blog address on it. If you ever find the secret, share! Lol!
Hey Erin, thanks for your sweet comment on my blog! :) It made me smile, I'm following you back now. I have a few tips and tricks to help build followers but the list is a bit long for comments. So email me at kittycatsandairplanes@gmail.com if you want it!

Hey Erin! :) While I've had my blog for a while, I didn't start using it until this past October, and as of right now I'm up to 43 followers :) The only thing I can think of as to how I was able to get them is that when I first started I was doing a lot of challenges, and if there were any projects that caught my eye, I'd visit their blog and leave a nice comment :) I'm guessing most of my followers found me that way so I'd say it's worth a shot :) Good luck! :)
I am trying to get followers as well. I am following you now! I am doing the same thing as Libby did by commenting on people's projects and I have gotten a couple of followers that way. Amie would you mind if I emailed you? I could really use some tips on how to get followers.
Hi! I just noticed you have my button on your blog! Thanks I appreciate it!
As far as followers... Try to get involved in a blog hop- I got 100 in 2 days because of that....
Participate in challenges that others are doing. It gets a lot of traffic flow :)
I don't have many, but that's how I got the ones I got :) I'll post your link on my blog :)

Hi Erin!! I found you on Courtney's blog (keekerzcrafts.blogspot.com) and I'd love to follow your blog! I just have to figure out how to be able to follow more than 300! I see that you are a military wife :-) Me too! And I also see that you have an upcoming deployment... BOOOOO!!! I'm at the tail end of one so if you ever need anything just let me know. Where are you stationed? Oh and I posted your blog link on my fb "like" page :-) Hope to talk to you soon!

p.s. I just read your profile and I see now where you are stationed. Ignore my dumb question lol Oh and yup, I'm jealous!!!
I'm a NEW STALKER! Want OODLES,OODLES AND OODLES OF STALKERS???? Work your butt off, NETWORK like crazy, enter challenges, post often to keep them coming back, blog hops are huge and connect with as many crafters as you can. Facebook is the best I've found for that. Check out my Blog, I'm about to celebrate 1 year of blogging and it took me a couple months to get upto 150 Stalkers. Are we friends on FB? I can connect you with a closed group of crafters and it's a great way to network your blog. I just added a blog with 20 followers and within a couple of days she was at 70. There you can also get into hops maybe? Let me know;)

I hope you get tons of followers! Nicole and Molly helped me get mine :) Good luck! Keep the crafts coming :)

Oh Nicole is bound to get you soooooo many followers! She is a celebrity crafter! hehe Love her!! And she is sooo sweet! :-)
I agree with everyone, the best way to get a bunch of followers is to be in a blog hop. You can always start your own and then ask people whose work you like to be in it with you.
Nicole's (canadiannickelscrapn) work is amazing, and she knows what she is talking about, so with her in your corner, you will be just fine!
Hi Erin...I'm a new follower. Super cute blog you have here. Pop on over to my blog and I'd love for you to follow me. http://lifeatwalnuthill.blogspot.com/
Hey Erin! I've been blogging for about 6 months. I hit 100 followers just before Christmas. Certainly, not mind blowing numbers, but I'm happy with my progress.
I visit alot of the link parties and comment, comment, comment. Plus, I put alot of my craft projects in the link parties.
As you know, I look at the bloggers profile and their posts and try find what makes me relatable to them and than I leave meaningful comments...not just 'nice job'.
I'd like a huge following someday, but I never want someone to feel obligated to follow me, I want them to simply follow me because they enjoy my blog. So, I try not to get too hung up on the numbers so I stay authentic. :)
One more thing....get an email address dedicated to your blog and get yourself off that no-reply blogger so people can email you girl!! :)
It will help you connect and have conversations with people.
Here's a post I did awhile back on how to do that:

I am also trying to get followers
but since my whole blog is in german not very many people will follow me but i would realy be happy if i got a few more followers
I think your blog is realy good.
I will follow you now so that you have 1 follower more
