it takes time make lots of connections @itinerantartist. I have lots of followers and still many don't look at my posts. When you get "regulars" that you have engaged and connected with then you will start to see them repeatedly come view your page. Just keep making friends by engaging them and reaching out for new contacts by visiting others and making comments, and you will find it grows and grows as time moves on.

ps... I get a lot of new connections because I try to help the new ones, which I spend a lot of time on the newbies anyway. This initiative will help you do that, so if you decide to do it once a week, you will see you will make some friends (and fans) pretty fast. ;)
