Why can’t I reach out to more people?

Obviously I’m doing something wrong out here. I just I read Annette’s post where she describes her blogging journey. She also reveals how in just a short span of 7 months, she already has a following of 440 and more!

That’s amazing . And to put it mildly I’m more than a bit jealous. I’m actually beginning to see everything through green glasses.  What is it I’m doing wrong?

• I’m following all the blog gurus to the T
• I’m using images with Alt tags
• I’m following prompts/memes/ facebook groups
• I’m commenting and sharing posts on social media
• I’m putting up posts regularly

So what is it that is going wrong?

This is my response to today’s prompt REACH at The Daily Post. Incidentally I responded to yesterday’s prompt too but my post wasn’t listed ……..

Reaching for the stars

Sitting in Algebra class as a 14 year old, I remember Mr. Lewis walking around looking at us working out problems. He would talk to himself though he wanted all of us to hear his proverbs and homilies. One of his favourites  was
“Reach for the moon and you will reach the stars.”

This came second to his mantra – the more I practice, the more I score and score I must.

Having been conditioned to try till you succeed, I am not going to give up blogging and see if one day I will get off the ground . Maybe one day I will reach half way to the stars.
