Now for ways to get them precious followers!
Comment and respond: 
Promote following in your blog.
So what i mean by this is to add a little bit of text like Follow me @surpriseattack then your @ name put at the bottom of your post and put in heading large. What this does is give someone the incentive to click on your @ name to then follow, once their done reading your post.
Just improve and put out the best content you can!
Great post. I'm following you.
