Tips to gain more followers on tumblr?

[Aljosha]

I have 553 followers but I want some ideas to gain more :/ I already use that annoying sentence "Follow me for more blahblah " but I don't know what promotion is and I kinda stopped having new followers. Any help?

And btw my blog is: http://let-yourdreams-come-true.tumblr.com/

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 (this is the best one tbh)
-talk to people, whether its by replying, asking, or reblogging stuff and adding a comment

I suggest first establishing a style, find blogs you really like by looking through tags.
Talk to a lot of people with similar styles to you, and involve yourself in promos.
Go onto tumblrplug.com to promote your blog.
Go onto the #follow back or #follow for follow tags and follow people.
There are also some big blogs that do promos for you if you click their ads/like their fb page. (lucy.tumblr.com and ilovepokingsmot.tumblr.com are some)

But the best thing is just to reblog a lot, be kind to people, and enjoy it. Don't obsess over getting followers
