The "friends" might be you guys 
I'm a complete amateur to SEO to the point where i don't even know some of the acronyms that is used here. Anyhoo my story so far,
I have a tumblr blog (NSFW)
Boosted easily in the first 1-3 days getting 6.7k views and then 3k and 4k views in the next two days respectively. After that it kind of went down a lot, bringing views in the 100s. I've done some researching and i'm now using Tumbstudio to upload queue posted images that link back to my blog. They're doing great so far. Getting a lot of reblogs and follows from it. I've only started scraping images and uploading them 2 days ago and views are going past the 200 mark. I'll keep it going for a week and report back the results soon.
I'm currently making packs. Requests that people ask for, and zipping them up onto a hosting site (downloads = money) and using linkbucks to take them to said download.
Total So Far from linkbucks: $2.0732
Total So Far from Upload.ws:$0.074 (148 unique uploads)
I need to maybe try different, making these image packs is time consuming and i'm not seeing the return. Might have to do with the specific images in mind.
Tumblr Blog stats:
2,014 notes, 101 new followers, 658 followers as of now. (Getting about 30+ daily, highest i got was 98 followers in a day after scraping and uploading images)
So i'm stuck, what can i do to maximize my earnings? Need to factor in the risks with the blog getting banned, i'd like to keep it for as long as i can. Might flip it in the future, who knows. At the moment the linkbucks images are being put under goo.gl links, not sure if that avoids suspicion.
Edit: cant paste image links to stats, that sucks
