I've been here 18 months, you've just got here. That's not how it works.

I took a look at your page. You've not written anything for me to follow.

You have to write blog posts that interest me - so that I want to follow you.

I posted a 'hints and tips for newbies' post a few days ago, take a look, some of the advice may help you understand Steemit a little better.
