<p> @Phyllisn,</p> <p>welcome to Gab!</p> <p>Top 6 Ways To Participate, Add Value and Gain Followers (aka increase your audience): </p> <p><br />1. Follow others, MANY others. Check their profile page first!! Most will follow back.  </p> <p>2. Start regularly posting ORIGINAL material/content. This can not be stressed enough! </p> <p>3.Posting from your home page, especially with few followers means hardly anyone will see your posts. For more visibility, start your posts from a topic, category or group. Reposting is fine BUT...DO NOT ONLY RE-POST. Make sure you have other content too, otherwise nobody is engaging with you.</p> <p>4.Join a group. Participate in the groups discussions. </p> <p>5. Reply to other GABers posts. If you want to ADD some commentary to their post, you use the "Quote" button, and you have now created a post that is yours, and not just another repost.</p> <p>6. Make sure you have some kind of profile image/photo. Many won't follow if you do not.</p>
