Normally the best way to get a follower is by: doing favors for them(the earliest one being either Faendal or the bard in Riverwood), becoming a thane of a hold (by doing quests for the jarl or helping the people of that hold), through the Main questline where you are appointed as Thane of Whiterun and given Lydia as your Housecarl or by paying someone(normally in an inn) money to help you(you will not need to pay the same follower twice if he/she leaves you at anypoint
