I was trying to brainstorm something funny to do, but I could just wait for another number

A lot of artists do art, right? so I could try something else like audio or pictures or something

Oh you should!! That's awesome!!

You could buy a random follower dinner?

That's what I've seen people do. Like, buy them a pizza on grub hub or something

It's cute and not too expensive and won't get you a ton of people following you for the express purpose of winning something

Oh yeah, they send followers pizza from where ever I've heard of that

Or a cosplay thing if you have anything you want to get rid of!

Pizzaaa

I second em's idea! pizza or other takeout on grubhub is a really cute giveaway

Ego it up and give away signed headshots

heck yeah pizza is great

Signed pizza in the shape of my headshot

But I'll try that tonight then! Thanks

I contemplated sending lapdances through the mail, but the shipping cost would probably be a bit much

fitting you in a box would be kind of hard on you too

Well if they're ok with it not being you giving the lap dance you can always call up some dancers in their area to send to the winners house

it could be part of his training to endure the box

Nothing says "thank you for reading my blog" quite as well as sending a stripper straight to someone's door

I really hope you all enter to win if it's ever lapdances. I don't want to ship overseas

Or I could send a video of me attempting what I think is a lapdance

i never got my hospital lapdance, i'm just going to keep accruing your lap dance debt like some sort of

Does every area in the world have strippers? I never thought about that

lap dance collector

i will grow fat off your lap debt

You should invest it in the lapdance stock market

If I ever get popular you'll have a lot of gain

200 followers kevin, you're already popular

i am reaping the investment rewards left and right

gonna buy a summer home with the dividends off your gyrations

I am truly an anime character if you can profit off of me that way

Put your kids through college on all this lap dance money

Em are you gonna be my agent

What's my cut

5%

spend it wisely

i'll hold onto the rest for you in this giant hummer i just bought completely unrelatedly

I'm a protein starved artist

laughing at "training to endure the box"

jfc you get so many anons for having 200 followers ARE MY FOLLOWERS ALL DEAD OR SOMETHING

Not to sound butthurt it's a genuine question

I'VE NEVER FOUGHT A GIVEAWAY BEFORE

it's okay i never get anons and i have a significantly large amount of followers

haha yeah I have 1200 and they're practically absent x.x

i think it just depends on how personal/approachable you are on your blog??

touché. I'm not that personal on my Tumblr so

i have over 2k and no one ever talks to me, but i'm 90% just art

Well to be fair I'd bet my protein money that most of my anons are the same couple people, but I guess I'll never know...

Anons are strange. I get a lot, but I also hit 6000 recently and I've been 'talking' more. When I don't talk, I barely get any that are actually relavent

I think if you talk more or do more memes or are more 'approachable', you tend to get more. But tbh I have no idea

tumblr is weird

That makes sense though, since some of the only original posts I make are semi-personal blogging. I'll get less general followers but the ones that do follow me feel okay with anon asks and comments?

yeah to me it just depends on how open you are on your blog

Yeah! Like, it's more personal

i'm too shy to post a lot of personal stuff so i refrain from doing so (on tumblr at least; on plurk and twitter i wreak havoc on everything)

so rarely do i get anyone talking to me, and when i do its always art/convention related

on twitter though where i talk about anything and everything i get a lot of strangers who follow me replying to my tweets

Tricks of the trade for internet blogging, huh. I hadn't really ever though much about it until recently

You're also just a big sweetie kevin it comes through really strong

ultimate trick of the blogging trae

trade, even

be as approachable as a puppy

Word ^

I've always wanted to have more of a "thing" for my tumblr, but I never really figured out what it would be

Like waaaay back when when I tried to do that Narukami's Lunch Box cooking blog thing

and when I first posted about wanting to do audio stuff on there

Like a hook?

Audio stuff would be really cool. That's a big passion for you, right?

There are some awesome voice actor blogs out there

That's true, I wonder if it would go over well with who currently follows me, but I doubt it's a big enough population to make a big difference

I really want to post audio stuff! For now it won't be the same quality as a lot of my older things, but I might start doing daily audio recordings to just keep myself engaged.

Well, would you enjoy it?

I think that's the most important thing in any blogging platform

be enthusiastically, energetically, and unapologetically genuine about what you post and like

It's a very Field of Dreams sort of thing

if you post it, they will come

you might lose a few, but more will come, because it's interesting

yay I posted a giveaway! Everyone fight to the death for pizza!

OMG DID YOU SAY PIZZA

I forgot how many people flock to hit follow when you do a giveaway like this... I wonder how many of them are only in it for the pizza

Meanwhile my Homestuck giveaway gets thousands of notes and my pizza one got like

thirty

Like half of the notes on mine so far are actual followers and friends and the other half is like... a bunch of people from RP blogs that just followed me, probably because they smelled free food.

Oh well, not my problem if the drawing is biased since I'm the one that announces the winner.
