Hi! As I said in my previous post, I have completed hacktoberfest as a contributor to other repos. But I didn't even start as a repo maintainer. Even before Hacktoberfest has started, I prepared some issues and labeled them with hacktoberfest label.
But it is October 12 already, but I didn't get any PR's, issues, or anything(maybe except for a star or a two).
Could you please tell me what am I doing wrong as a repo maintainer preventing contributions?

1- Talk about your project with friends
2- Seek for python/Django communities, talk about it with others & welcome contributions.
3- Rewrite your documentation(README) and make it more useful and helpful.
4- Post your project in contributions communities (such as Swyya.com)
Thank you!
Actually now I got some people interested in contributing, about your notes: first done (: , second-I posted in Python telegram community but nothing happened :P . I haven't tried third and fourth.

Suggest in your README and in your issues labelled with
#hacktoberfest, #helpWanted, ...really simple things that would be useful to you and don't need an extensive knowledge of your project.I have made a list at the end of this:
