Why do I keep losing followers even though I'm gaining some each day?

This is completely normal. You might gain five followers today and lose three or four tomorrow. The fluctuation happens constantly. The best way to retain followers is to keep them engaged by sending direct messages, posting consistently, and creating content that resonates. People who feel a personal connection to you through messages or compelling content are far less likely to unfollow. Focus on engagement, not just the numbers.
