Question:

I'm starting this fuck yeah depressing facts tumblr (shameless plug ftw?), got any tips to help this blog get up on it's feet?

Asked by depressingfacts

Answer:

haha i’d just say post a link on your personal tumblr (if you have one), letting all your followers there follow your new blog (that’s what i did)…so you can start off with at least a few followers. if fuckyeahdepressingfacts is your main blog, you could follow people to get them to notice your blog, even though i, along with many other bloggers, find that semi-annoying. otherwise just keep putting them out there and you’ll eventually get followers! mine definitely didn’t happen overnight, and it doesn’t have all that many followers anyway. i can always reblog some of yours too, so people notice your blog! :)

good luck anyway!
