Gordon Kuhn asked Mercedes Fox:

You have a large following. I have been on here for several years and only have a few. I also don't understand the whole thing from an advertising picture. I also don't understand the whole website. I have backed off and come back, backed off and come back again. I have maintained my page here with my books but it still just doesn't attract. So, I must be doing something wrong? Thanks, Gordon Kuhn

Mercedes Fox My blog/website (which I had to take down just a couple days ago) hosted over 400 author interviews. I've met most of my followers from my blog's author interviews. I also use Twitter. It's taken awhile but I do have 5000+ followers finally.

Check out the forums and do interviews with bloggers. If you setup a website if it's not posting something new won't get much traffic. But without Twitter to announce everything nobody would have known about it.

I no longer have my site so now I'm depending on Goodreads, Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest, to keep my followers with me. The best advice I got came out of Rayne Hall's book: Twitter for Writers: The Author's Guide to Tweeting Success (Writer's Craft Book 8)
