How can I get some/more blog followers?

[Luckyvisitor834]

I've just set up a blog on blogger.com:
smaointesarah.blogspot.com
And... I want to know how to get some followers or traffic to my blog.
I'm on Twitter too and plan on tweeting each new blog post.

I've looked at a few blogs on Blogger and many don't have a lot of followers - those with up to 200 followers had been blogging for about 5 years. I don't want to wait years to get followers, any ideas?

By the way, I plan on writing about school life, exams etc, maybe some stories and stuff to because I enjoy writing. I also want to do a guest blog (or as many as possible) to increase traffic to my blog or at least to be heard through my guest blog.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
