How to Become Famous on Tumblr

Find the right place. While some individual Tumblrs can also be famous, they are mostly already famous people such as writers, actors, and cartoonists. Even some fanfic writers (fan stories) become famous based on the works they write and maintain personal blogs with a sizable following (although they only share and post about the community). co-fans).

• Think about your interests: you can post about things like dancing, photography, art, social justice, fandom (books, movies, TV shows). Content on Tumblr is extremely diverse, you need to choose what you pursue if you want to become famous.
• Some examples of very popular Tumblr: medievalpoc.tumblr.com, venushowell.tumblr.com, omgthatdress.tumblr.com, pdloves.tumblr.com, compendiously.tumblr.com, twitterthecomic.tumblr.com. You’ll notice that these Tumblrs usually only post on a certain topic and create their own content for their blog (for others to share that post).

Pay attention to popular Tumblrs. Observe the members in the niche and determine who has the most followers, whose posts are shared the most. Check out what’s their Tumblr theme? How do they interact with their followers?

• Check out their posts. Are there a lot of articles (about social justice, or happenings on tv, or poetry)? Do they share about themselves? Are they funny (humor is what makes you famous)? Are the articles long and rambling, or short and concise? It completely depends on the region you choose to know what type of posts are most “hundred” for.
• Do they make and post a lot of animations? How’s the photo quality? Do they post scenes on TV with famous quotes?
• See if they combine photos with other things. Check out the image quality, the aesthetics of which match their Tumblr. Do they post a lot of pictures of themselves, or not at all?
• Pay attention to your posts that people enjoy, the ones that get the most likes and shares. You can create a lot of content like that and it is sure to attract a lot of followers.

Talk to celebrities on Tumblr. You specifically want to find celebrities in your chosen area. Don’t just ask them to introduce you to their followers, ask questions and get to know them. Many Tumblr celebrities post surveys with things like their favorite imaginary characters, their first kiss, and the foods they eat most often. This is a great way to learn more about them and let them get to know you.

• Check out their FAQ page first to see what attitude is appropriate. Maybe they don’t like people asking for promotion (and never make others feel that’s the only reason you’re talking to them) and what kind of questions they don’t want to hear.
• Once you get to know them, you can ask them if they’d like to take a look at your blog and introduce it to their followers. This is especially good if you have original ideas in mind (like you’re writing a fanfic, writing poetry, or trying out a new fashion style). If you are polite and sincere, they will not hesitate to help you.

Do promotion. It’s hard to do well right now because this can get you more followers and recognition, but it can also irritate people so be careful. Usually, promotion means you get someone recommending your Tumblr on their blog, and you can do a bilateral promotion, etc. What you really want is to have a famous person in your area promote your blog.

• Promote to promote (p4p) ie you recommend someone’s blog on your blog and vice versa. The cool thing about this method is that your followers only see one blog, not a long list of promotions. Of course, if your promoter doesn’t have a lot of followers, you won’t have great success with this plan either.
• Dual broadcast as well as regular broadcast, there are only two people in the game. If you follow both of these people means you have a chance to both promote the blog, which is a good opportunity to attract more followers.
• Personal promotion is where only you are promoted. This can happen if you are friends with a famous person on Tumblr who recommends your blog on their site, suggesting people visit your blog.

Original post. One of the keys to becoming famous on Tumblr is that your blog has to post stuff you create yourself. It sounds cliché but this is the truth. Posts are the go-to tool for promoting your Tumblr, so they have to be something unique that no other blog has, be it your words, or artwork that makes people want to share. You need to think of posts for yourself, they can be anything as long as it’s on the right topic of your choice.

• You can write your own articles. That means writing about happenings on a TV show or book, or analyzing literature. You need to put your personal opinion on the article. This may seem a bit scary, but even if people don’t agree with your point of view, they will still follow your post, maybe others will see and be interested in it. (This doesn’t mean you should write about sensitive issues like racism or sexism etc. comment and end with “but this is just my personal opinion”, please feel free to comment. out politely).
• Learn how to animate instead of just sharing other people’s posts, especially if you’re part of a fanbase. People will enjoy and share your own products. In fact, people might even ask you how to animate if you’re good at it.
• Post your artwork no matter what genre: painting, photography, creative writing (fanfic also counts). This will both help expose your work to the public, and ensure that your Tumblr contains a lot of “original” content.

Be consistent when blogging. Consistency is also a key to becoming a celebrity on Tumblr. Even if old-timers didn’t have blogs, they still needed to be prepared, meaning blogs would continue to post new content even when the moderators weren’t around.

• Be sure to respond to people, the more people you talk to, the more likely you are to become popular and attract more followers.
