How to get more followers on tumblr?

[KobeKid]

I've had my new blog for about a month now, I deleted the old one because I had barely any followers. My new one only has 25. I'm following over 300 people and I've tried making my blog look good, I've tried tumblr plug, how else can I gain tumblr followers?

Look, unless and until you are the best, people are not gonna follow you without an expectation that you are gonna follow them.

The tips I can give are:-

1. KEEP FOLLOWING OTHERS (Hundreds Of Them) And KEEP LIKING POSTS. Keep Interacting. Get Their Focus.
2. Study Popular Blogs, And Even Ask The Bloggers Some Tips Which Might Help You.
3. It Will Take Time, But Even If You Manage To Get Atleast 5-10 Followers A Day By This, Just Imagine What It Will Become In A Year! Don't Think That Everyday Only 20 Followers Will Come Up, Because The More And More Followers You Get, The More And More Followers You Will Get On Daily Basis... So In The End Of The Year, You Might Get Even 50-60 Follows Per Day! :-)
4. Have Patience! That's The Most Important Thing! And Don't Close This Blog Too Just Because You Are Not Getting Any Followers. In The Long Run, If Your Blog Is Worthy, It Will Automatically Get More And More Followers! :-)

Deleting the blog due to the lack of followers isn't going to work...

I get followers by posting content that people are interested in.

Sometimes a post won't be noticed for months. I had a post that accumulated a hundred + notes over a weekend. It had a single like for 7 or 8 months... before being discovered.

Sometimes a useful post will pick up likes and reblogs slowly.

I post a lot of pictures from my own garden. some people like that sort of thing.

Back when I was discovering how to recode the default template, I picked up followers who were interested in fixing up their own themes.

The best way to make your blog appealing... is to post unique content.
Do you write? Draw? take pictures? Create gifs?

Any of these will attract a following.
I doubt that you will ever get "tumblr famous" by reblogging, and following everybody.

I follow a fair number of people, who post original content in my areas of interest.
My dashboard is full of posts of gardens, wildlife, and hippies... and some coding, some writing, but I avoid following the people that reblog from the people that I follow, so that I don't get a dash full of repeat posts...

If your main reason for having a tumblr is to have some kind of popularity contest, you aren't doing it right.
