The convertion is usually the activity of your followers. How active they are commenting and sharing and supporting your content. That's why it doesn't matter that much how many followers you have. The most important is how active they are. Let's imagine someone having 100 followers and most of them are commenting and sharing his/her content. For sure this person will grow very fast and he/she will be much better than the one who have a few thousands followers.
It's of course possible to improve the conversion. To make it grow faster. In the end the author will be very happy when creating content. He/she will have more motivation to create more.
There are many ways to do that :
1. Being active :
When you are active commenting and suporting others, you'll have a lot of benifits in return.
2. Analyzing :
Learning about your content make you see the big picture and you will understand the pros and cons of what's you're doing.
3. Checking :
Asking your following to do something and understand how they react to your questions and that way you will understand what they need.
4. Being special.
It's always good to have your way to create content. Your way to react to your following. It's always good to differ from others.
5. Learning about competitors.
Check what other creators are doing in the same nich you grow in to understand your mistakes and what else you need to add to be better.
6. Improving, changing and adding something new.
And in the end, the best way to be better is to improve and to change for the best. And always adding something new to your content will just make it more attractive.
