A resteem generally doesn't help you, it helps the person you resteem. It can show your interests but it's my opinion that if you don't have something of your own to read (that can be voted on/curated) you won't get a lot of repeat visitors .
I would suggest that you have at least one post or more that is < 7 days old. Your potential followers votes do no good after your reward is given (7 days after you post) and therefor, while people can still comment on your old post it is a waste of their upvote if they give you one on a post that is ≥ to 7 days,
