Your doing pretty well man, I believe you would just need to keep up the pace your at. 140 followers is pretty impressive, I only have 85 but I've been on here since November.
I convinced some of my followers on facebook to join steemit and thats where most of my followers come from. The big break comes from appealing to just one whale. I currently have a whale who upvotes my posts for whatever reason and it makes all the difference.
I bet if you keep up your posts you will get some followers who really appreciate your work.
