How to gain tumblr followers?

Hi, recently I've made a new tumblr and I only have 12 followers. 9 of them came from a follower app (which I don't want to keep doing because they're all fake and pointless) , and the others are my friends that I've asked to follow me.
I post a lot of my own content (with loads of tags) as well as reblogging other peoples'. I used to do this for ages on my old tumblr, and still had less than 20.
I've tried liking loads of photos on hashtags and following random people, but still no followers. I do have a blog, but I don't have any fancy cursors or anything because I do all of it on my iPhone.
please help me gain followers!
my tumblr is spacekid1995.tumblr.com

You can go on follow train(there are a lot of them on tumblr) or try interacting with someone(message them like" hi gorgeous love your feed") don't make it sound creppy tho. Or keep your feed neat with good theme pics(like black & white) . I would still advice you to make your theme, cursor, background pretty to attract followers.

  • Why can't I gain space after deleting photos off my iPhone? Having over 1, 000 pics on my iphone I had very little space left so after backing up all pics I went through and deleted over 500 pics but kept the videos. But when I checked to see how much storage I now had the amount didn't change, as if I didn't delete anything! Anyone know what to do?!
  • Where are my tumblr followers? Mobile? I have an iPhone and the messages thing won't show up so where do I go to see that and my followers?
  • Twitter won't let me accept followers? I have five new followers pending and every time I click the tab to accept it doesn't do anything. I've logged in and out, changed computers, tried it on my iPhone, all the same thing. How can I fix this?
  • How to take pictures of my sketches with less gain? I'm guessing the only way is to invest in a better camera/phone, possibly an iPhone or a canon. I was just wondering is there a method to it or am I pixel challenged?
