Here's some advice @johnylazar. Don't mass follow!! It's off putting to those who have been on here a lot longer than you. Try following people with similar interests to the topics you are planning on posting. Try and form a bond with them and maybe agree to upvote one another. Rather have 10 quality followers than thousands of fake followers. Also never ask for upvotes ask people to go to your blog. If bloggers like your posts/comments they will upvote you if they want to. Also put out some interesting posts with the right tags, interesting titles and eye catching thumbnails. Be patient as it can be very frustrating to get going here. Hope this helps to get you started.
