Be patience, building followers takes some time and effort
Post a lot of comments, but make sure you read the whole post and your comment is relevant with the content of the post.

Read a lot, learn as much as you can about steemit, and crypto-currency overall, this will help you to get a better overview about the community and understand why things are the way they are...
