Added (1). We're from New Jersey moved to Arizona and have some beautiful sunsets and sunrise sometimes clouds too

Well you gotta have more than a couple douzen pictures posted. People aren't going to follow if you're 1. New or 2. Don't post frequently and reliably. Why would they? The vast majority of blogs disappear completely within two months. They want proof they aren't wasteing their time.

Next you've gotta tag things right. If you just post the picture, your really lucky you got any likes. The right #'S and knowing which ones are currently trending are key to success

Then you've gotta spice stuff up. Modern photography has been around 100 ish years. With nearly 8 billion people currently living, what makes your capture any better? Pictures are saved now for people to see decades later. You've gotta make them want to see yours. Maybe a theme. Or patterns. Or special things in the background. Cool effects or time lapses. Just a sunset isn't going to get thousands of likes when there's a couple thousand others beside it.

Shoot in aperture priority mode (A or AV on your mode dial)

Put the camera on a tripod (Not necessary while the sun is up, but after it goes down, you ll likely need it to keep the camera steady in the dim conditions)

Set your aperture to f/16

Set your ISO to 100

Let the camera set your shutter speed

Put the focus point 1/3 into the scene

You and half the people on the planet are taking sunset/sunrise photos. Yours have to be sufficiently good to stand out from the crowd.

Grow up.
Stay in school.
Keep shooting.

I'd consider another profession.

Good site for buying Instagram followers
