How To Earn Followers (THIS CAN BE REALLY HELPFUL) by DJ GarV the Expert
This is basically a list.
While the best way to do this is to write a bunch of really good stories and gradually (or rapidly) get followers, there are ways to do it without publishing a story. They work to a degree. Hey, I got 59 followers without publishing any story.1) Get permission to re-write story ideas from a guy who was banned, and tell his followers you will continue his work (Which I will at some point when I get to it)
2) Edit for a lot a people. Note that this only works when you are really good at the craft.
3a) Comment on a lot of blogs, stories, group pages, etc. Aim to be insightful, empathetic, comedic and/or interesting. It will catch people's attention.
3b) Be the last person to comment if you're being replied to. Act like you're gunning for the top spot for "Top Commenters."4a1) Favorite a lot of stories. You should legitimately like them, though.
4a2) Watch a lot of people. Again, you should only do it if you legitimately like at least one of their works.
4b) Write something at the title of your comments page about asking people "if you are here to thank me for favoriting/watching you, I ask that you follow me back", or something along those lines.5) Become admin/contributor in at least 2 groups. Become very involved in at least one.
5a) Make a lot of threads in those groups. This is a part of "becoming very involved."6) Blog about a bunch of things. Again, be insightful, empathetic, comedic and/or interesting.
7) Add a user page gimmick. Something that gives it more "pizzazz", or that will get people's attention.
8) Have some sort of weird shenanigan -- something that people will remember you by. For example, Regidar is known for his obsession with Nirvana and Curt Kobain.
9) Have a catch phrase. For example, I alternate between "SEEMS LEGIT" and "Interesante". Jet Howitzer has his trademark "AVANTE!"
10) Hang out with the trolls. Apparently it's a good technique. (I've seen it done but I don't recommend it)
I have no idea how I found this. But the guy seems to have a good point on all of them. He also seems to be working on stories, too.
He has 86 followers now, so it is definitely working. Follow the dude, because . . . you can.
I do six, eight, nine and ten.

I approve of all of them except for 10. Which is never a good idea.
Unless you're Regidar.
Psh. I only do a couple of those things, yet I'm over 100.

I bet that would fall under the "writing the story" category, which is not part of the list for obvious reasons.
Don't tell me this, tell the guy who made the blog, follow him and whatnot.

You can get that many just by doing #3 alone. It's a major way of getting followers.

SEEMS LEGIT.
I think I'll just stick to gaining followers through stories
Only seems right to gain followers because they have a reason for following you.
Arrivederci
