Question on Follower Strategy

I help people rethinking corporate life redesign their careers and lifestyle so it's more energizing and creative . My target audience will often be on Substack but have not a lot of subscribers. They have this desire to do something more entrepreneurial or creative but aren't backing themselves, creating the space, really believe it's possible.

I'm not sure how to think about building my audience using the Follower Strategy that Carrie mentions in the Notes course. I was thinking that maybe I follow people who I'd want to interview on my Substack Talkshow? Or maybe I look for people that have less followers than me... But since I have 1.2k people with less followers aren't typically very active yet on the platform.

Also, anyone know what Substack showing me when I scan people's followers and subscribers? It's not the full list. Usually there are the biggest people at the top and then it goes down to just people with profiles but no followers, yes? And it's definitely not showing all the people that Subscribe.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and guidance xx
