I don't lead, I don't follow, and I even have a hard time staying the hell out of the way! LOL

Home is where the hearth is.

I don't expect adoration, nor fealty from my followers.... but occassional comments give me an indication that they're finding something they enjoy reading.

That's plenty for me.

I don't think you would have to reply back with paragraphs, to someone that you would Follow - basically a line or a few lines would suffice, that would be appropriate to what you have just read.  Short and sweet would be wonderful, and since you Follow a low number of folks, and they would appreciate a comment Alesha A. Wilson, M.Ed., MRP,  it's doable.

Not sure of the question? Follow the people you like & you don't have to be as active I think as FB where they expect you to answer in 15 mins. Just do the best you can.

       You are obviously a sincere and true follower, Alesha.  

       My suggestion is "do the best you can".  When you have hundreds or thousands of followers and connections across your social media sites (including AR), it is not humanly possible to reply, comment, socialize with all of them.

I follow members as an easy way to pay it forward.

You can earn some extra points by following five members each day. Make it a daily habit.

It is not necessary to be a chatterbox.  

It is not necessary to commit inordinate time reading blogs.

However, when content:

  • transforms,
  • inspires,
  • educates,
  • edifies,
  • corrects or
  • encourages,

Support and appreciation is shown by re-blogging, tagging, linking or leaving a comment regarding how your life was affected. Let your comment have fabric.

Be the one who came back to say 'Thank you' when merited.

This is serious. You are in a community of agents who work endlessly, toil through the night, exist in loneliness and isolation. The don't seek or need a river of commentary, but a small gesture goes a long, long way in confirming to that blogger they are not shouting into an abyss.

When it comes to following.....I am unlikely to be found in that line. I do like reading what the leaders on Active Rain have to share.

Don't be a follower. be a fan.

I follow quite a few, but few want to actually interact.   If I comment, the poster may LIKE my post, but never come over to my blogs and comment.  There are only so many hours in a day, and some have to be set aside for our clients.
