How do you build loyal subscribers?
Good question.
I guess it is having people engage with our style of writing.
The beauty of WP is that we get to read about the lives of other writers. From different worlds or generations, faiths, or no faiths. Just a mish mash of folk who enjoy showing up and putting down thoughts, ideas, memories, fears and loathing, loves n likes.
About the likes, to me they are more about a tick, an acknowledgement of having stopped by and read your stuff. Instead of the voyeurs, the ghosts who view, but leave without a nod.

Building up subscribers is good fun, a little reward for doing our best and peeps saying ‘ yes, I see you’.
As ever thank you to the very lovely June at https://fancyingfrance.com for being my first ever subscriber
So glad I found you! You brighten my day and make me think a little deeper with each post.
