How to attract more subscribers and make them stay

We all want to have subscribers. Subscribers are supporters that play a big role in this platform. They are like a circle of friends that you hang out with every article you publish. Having many subscribers also gives you more chances of earning points. That's why many users play tricks to gain a large number of subscribers. Some (tactics) are good, some are bad and really annoying. When a user subscribed to you, they will receive notifications whenever you publish a new article. That way, they can read it and comment and/or upvote without having to reach for your name or even if your article hasn't reached the homepage yet. But how do we gain more subscribers? (The right way) **🔶Write interesting articles.** This is spread all over the site. This is the main rule or factor in having subscribers. People will start subscribing to you when they think your articles are interesting enough for them to want to get notified every time you publish a new article. Many users ask subscription in return of their own subscription but do you think they will remain as your subscribers? No. No one wants to be notified of useless posts. No one wants to have flooded notification with people they really don't support. They will unsubscribe you eventually. So why not make an interesting article that people support. **🔶Be kind to all.** Being kind goes a long way. Be kind not only to your supporters but also to new readers and audience. Be kind not because you want to act good to have their support. Be kind because we are all making efforts and we all started from being a newbie. Be kind because you will never be where you are without your supporters. **🔶Be consistent.** Being consistent in doing good is also a key to earn subscribers and making them stay. Remember, subscribers can be your supporter today but may not be tomorrow. But when people see your consistency in delivering quality content, they will support you all the way. **🔶Respect.** This is connected to being kind, actually. Always respect every user, respect the rules, and respect the fairness for everybody. No one wants to follow rude, pervert, and insensitive authors. No matter how good they are in writing, right? Accept constructive criticisms and make it as a motivation. **🔶Be professional and decent.** Not only in interacting with other people but also with creating content. But, don't get me wrong, this does not mean you can't be funny and silly. But at least make it something that you are not making a fool out of yourself and acting like someone that knows no boundaries. If you know what I mean. hehe **🔶Be interactive.** Whether it's through an article or in comments. You can also do giveaways (good quality giveaways) if you're capable. It makes you look fun and interesting. But never give false hopes to participants... Be active in writing, replying, and commenting. This way they will be familiar with your name and be more interested in you. **🔶Be contented and grateful** Sometimes when people see you are grateful and contented to what your supporters can give you, they are more willing to support you. Always be grateful and let them know how grateful you are. We all want to be acknowledged whether being a writer or a supporter. We all want supporters and it's our job to maintain them. And help each other to achieve what we want to achieve. And gaining them the good way is fairer and more fulfilling than just asking for subscriptions. And to be honest, I find it kinda annoying and insulting to be just asked because we are working our butts off for genuine supporters. It is not bad to ask for subscribers but at least give them good reasons to. 😊
