1. be an obnoxious fangirl
2. fill your tumblr with everything from every fandom you can think of
3. rage over sexism/homophobia/transphobia or some combination of the three
4. get trolled and threaten to commit suicide
5. repeat steps 2. 3. and 4.
6. ???
7. There is no profit. Not on Tumblr.

Relax, OP. No one of any consequence actually uses tumblr, it's just something people pretend to know about to sound hip.

honestly the social aspect of tumblr/your tumblog is really not important unless people have an external reason to look at your blog
otherwise you will have to immerse yourself into like some shitty like-minded niche of the site
basically just have one if you are in a position to, or want to compile useless images of your own
i guess it is a decent time-killer if you follow blogs that you like and are okay with 'reblogging' errything and dont have any original content to post, too

use it to your own devices and dont get caught up with the bad majority of its denizens basically

you can ask people stuff directly via their 'ask' or by using 'fanmail'

they might
they're called 'notes'
they'll see that "you reblogged their post and added : "some stuff" "
