Fun Friday Blog Hops

As you all probably know by now, Friday Follow has come to an end. Friday Follow was so much fun in the beginning. I am thankful to the wonderful ladies from One 2 Try, Midday Escapades and Hearts Make Families. Hosting such a huge event is time consuming and without a doubt, a lot of work. I give credit to Friday follow for the majority of my followers. I joined in FF just a few weeks after I began Blogging in January. At that time I had less than a handful of followers and I imagined it would take months to even reach 100 followers. After joining Friday Follow, I my statistics began to steadily increase.

My first Friday follow I only gained 4 new followers. I was still very new so I decided to work on my blog layout and try to make things easier to navigate and more user friendly. From there, I began to see an increase in followers each week. A blog buddy of mine and I would sit at our computers every Thursday night and impatiently wait for the Friday Follow post to go live. We raced to enter our links, in hopes of being at least within the top 10. It was fun while it lasted. I have discovered some amazing women and beautiful blogs along the way. In my opinion, Friday Follow just became too big. Many weeks there were over 500 links. I think a lot of people entered their link and expected others to follow them. Some said they were following, when in actuality they were not. Towards the end, I was receiving less than 10 followers, yet the excitement and adrenaline rush kept me at it.

Friday Follow has ended and yes, there is a new Friday Follow. I am choosing not to participate for the same reasons as I am no longer participating in the original Friday Follow. It turned into more work than fun. When you are following hundreds of blogs, and only 10 (sometimes less) choose to follow back, it takes up hours, even days and is definitely not worth it.

I’m sure I am not the only one who has noticed a cluster of Friday Follow inspired blog hops. It seems like there is a handful of new hops each Friday. I am excited to be joining two in particular. The first is Fun Follow Friday hosted by Simply Stacy and the other is Smart and Trendy Moms Social Parade- Follower Friday. Both ladies have amazing talents with incredible blogs. I hope you will join me in either or both blog hops.

Have a safe and Happy Memorial Day weekend!
