Recently, I’ve started to wonder about the real size of a fan base.

No, not the number of fans or followers.

I’m referring to the quantity of core readers who regularly read another person’s content and appreciate it.

After all, it’s easy to get distracted if a person has what appears to be a very large audience of appreciative readers.

What about the readers and viewers who enjoy the content but duct clap, comment or highlight? Well, they matter quite a bit and they are not being taken for granted by me, not not at all.

What can be done about secret fans and quiet followers to get them to show themselves and interact with your content? There is no magic answer to that question.

You could try the following ideas:

  • Write a story about how readers can interact with content and how important it is for your earnings.
  • You could demonstrate the behavior that you hope they will eliminate.
