I still struggle too, so this is not "the secret to my success" kind of advice here... just my 2 cents worth. Stop trying to do contests and such until you have followers, lots of them. I still cannot get a contest to take off, I have over a thousand followers. What you need are followers, and you get those by going to THEIR posts and commenting. Asking pertinent questions almost forces engagement. But you do have a great attitude, just hang in there!
