The majority of people are going to determine whether or not they’re going to follow you based upon the current number of your followers.

I’m not in favor of people caring about the number of followers more than anything else. It’s just how it works. They look at your number of followers and if it’s below 300, they don’t even try to inspect the rest of the material essential to determine whether or not you’re worth following or dealing with. If you’re above 300 thousand, they think you’re a legend, even if you suck. On further inspection they might not end up following you. I hate it, but it’s just the nature of the market. I’m sorry, but the market is not always right. That’s why you have to do everything in your power to attract the right audience, and that’s why your content is the best marketing strategy. It stands between you and ending up with the wrong audience for good.
