Many of you follow a lot of people, usually as an act of goodwill, but what exactly does it accomplish? Let's get into it.
The consequences
- The more people you follow, the less attention you can give each of them
- Your feed will be huge and overwhelming
- Going through your feed will be exhaustive
- It's unlikely you'll see the content you're interest in
- It's unlikely you can reward your followers, because you miss their content all the time
The solution
To avoid future complications it's advisable to implement stricter follow rules and implement a system to manage your follows. My advise:
1. Only follow quality content creators
But what is quality? In this case the simplest answer is content you are interested in. You might be interested in a lot of things, but in the end you have to make concessions. You have to determine how much followers is too much for you and what your standards are.
2. Do regular cleanups
Once in a while go through your followers and see what they've blogged lately. It takes a while, but it will only benefit you in the end! And while doing it you might see a lot of great content you have missed because of the exact problem discussed in this article.
It can't hurt to do one big cleanup if you notice your feed is way too huge and filled with content that doesn't really appeal to you.
