    About this ebook

    All Clancy Yearforth wanted to do was start a simple blog to talk about stuff she liked and the things she did at school. She didn’t expect it to take off like a frog in a sock, especially after telling everyone she was going to the Teen Blogger Conference.

    Suddenly she’s gaining likes, followers and subscribers, and while she thinks it’s awesome, the horrible comments and rude behaviour from people she doesn’t know and some of the kids at school are not.

    After attending the conference where she’s stalked and harassed, then her school mates dictating how and when she should blog, Clancy needs to decide whether blogging is even worth her time and energy anymore.

    Clancy’s come face to face with the same dilemma so many experience online every day. Whether to stick by your own principles and be yourself in everything you do, or to conform to the pressures of what everyone else wants. To stand by your own beliefs and the things you say, or be dictated to by those who don’t like what you think or say and treat you badly for it.

    That’s why for Clancy it all comes down to one simple thing... To Follow or Not To Follow?

      DEDICATION

      This book is dedicated to all of the people, young, middle-aged and old, who are online and have only ever been their authentic selves, tried to fit in, tried to find their tribe, or had the backbone to be honest with their thoughts and feelings, who have only ever been shot down, walked over like a doormat or treated like someone’s personal toilet by people who claim to be non-judgemental, or have a non-judgemental site, and yet they do nothing but judge and treat harshly or unfairly and never follow back or leave a comment for you on your page.

      It’s time to stop. It’s time to delete. It’s time to revolt against such ironic hypocrisy; it’s time to be yourself on your own terms, in your own way.

      It’s time to unfollow.

      #teenblogger tip #1

      If you’re setting up a blog, make it about something you love and have a passion for. Don’t choose a subject just because everyone else is writing about it because you’ll get bored quickly.

      CHAPTER ONE

      Oh, my God, Clancy, did you see that big blogger event on the weekend? Oh, my God, it looked so good! We should go to the next one. Danica bubbled across my screen as the Face Me app moved around. It had popped up moments ago when she called through.

      I watched her bounce up and down in her seat. I didn’t know there had been an event, otherwise I would have looked into it. I quickly pulled up Google and checked. Oh, wow, is that it, the one at the Grand Marquis? It looks awesome. Wow, there’s some bloggers I follow.

      Yep, that’s it. Danica leaned in to the camera. "Yichelle from Blue Moon Love was there as well as Yolanda from Kiss Me, Lick Me. And get this… She clapped in excitement. Digby Lee from Romance Me. Yay!"

      I read through the list of attendees as well as those who were speaking at the event. Some big names in the blogging world had attended, and from all the photos I was looking at, it seemed they had enjoyed themselves. When’s the next one? I browsed for information on the next conference.

      It’s one weekend a month, so the next is the 16th and 17th of November. Can we go? Let’s go! It’s going to be here, where we are. Yay. Danica bounced around in her chair as well as on my screen.

      I finally found the information page and the details. One hundred dollars for the weekend. Blimey! I quipped. That’s a lot for teenagers just to talk about blogging and meet other bloggers their own age. I don’t know if I have one hundred dollars.

      But Clancy… Danica whined. "We have to go. These blogging conferences have never been in our state before. They always go everywhere else, but never come here. We have to go. Come on, Clancy…we have to."

      I clicked on the page for the next gathering and scoped out who would be going. There would be some big name bloggers and it would be exciting to meet them. There were ones I hadn’t heard of and I clicked a few links to their pages. They looked great, and after a quick look I told Danica I’d think about it.

      If you’re serious about blogging, she said, "we need to go."

      *****

      I thought about her words for the next few days. While my blog was only a year old and I had about fifty followers, I wanted to make my blog bigger than everyone else’s. Well, as big as.

      I had worked hard on my little space of the net, setting up a Wordpress site, getting the domain (after thinking long and hard about what to call my blog), setting it up perfectly with its social media buttons and page wide header. I followed lots of bloggers my age and older and learned from their mistakes. I had heard a lot of business experts say to follow people in your own business niche and do what they got right, so you don’t repeat their mistakes.

      So far, things had gone
