I only joined in September, so I am also still learning. I still do not have visitors reading my stories, so I make patience and hope. Others who are doing well tell me it will happen.

After your name you will see a number. It shows how high in Reputation you are, it has nothing to do with money. Even if nobody reads your posts, as long as you make a post every day and you visit others and comment (a good number is about 10 a day), your reputation will go up. If you like what someone posts, click on their name and open in a new tab. You will be in their blog. At the top right corner you'll see a sign: Follow. Click on it and you will be following them.

Most people will follow someone who is following them, so don't ask them to follow you.

Any other questions or help needed, just answer my comment and I'll see your question.
