I see you are new here. Welcome to Steemit.
Asking people to follow you or upvote on Steemit is not the right approach to having a successful account.
It is much better to create good content so they want to follow and upvote you. Just keep doing it consistently and you'll have people who love what you write and you won't have to ask for upvotes.
This may help and I also suggest you read Steemit etiquette before you hurt your reputation.
I'll go check out your blog but I'm just saying that that is not the way to do it. There is no shortcut to getting good traction on Steemit, you have o put the work in.
