How do I get more followers on Tumblr?

[Daniela]

I know it's been asked 235345934 times before but anyway...
I have a Tumblr and I have around only 90 followers. I post a lot and I use a queue. I told my friends to follow me. I'm not good with Photoshop (but I do have it) so I can't post my own edits but I do post my own photos taken from my phone with filters. I reblog a lot and I never repost. I have a nice theme. I advertise my tumblr a lot on websites like Tumblrplug and infinitefollowers. I ALWAYS follow back.
What else can I do to get more followers? And more likes on my posts too.
Follow me and I'll follow you back

Okay I forgot to mention the reason why I want many followers is because: 1. My posts will show up on more dashboards and will have a better chance at getting more notes 2. My friends and I are sort of in a competition of who is more popular and I really want to seem popular so yeah

here's what you do:
-reblog/like a lot of people's posts (they might follow you after they see you in their notes)
-post a lot of original content and tag it with loads of (relevant) tags
-you can search up "follow for a follow" and follow people who'll follow back
-ask people for follow backs
-share your tumblr on other social media sites
-talk to people, whether its by replying, asking, or reblogging stuff and adding a comment

i've started gaining like 2 followers a day now (which is a lot considering i used to gain 2 followers every like 6 months)
