I got a homie who im 2 months is at 5000 followers. Dude just said he grinds on it and shows love. Posts pixs of him hanging with the homies, random talking, his newborn baby and girl. Hes a decent looking dude so I think women follow him but he saya he just is active and shows love.
He said he comments on most peoples stuff. He's using it to build a network to support his music which he has yet to show any signs of. He said when ue gets to 10000 he'll start having people follow his twitter and fb and start promoting.
