It takes quite a while until your node becomes more heavily used. Tor clients take your node's uptime into account when considering whether or not to route through it. Higher uptime indicates a more stable node, which will get more traffic. In other words, everything's fine, just sit tight for a day or two :). Thanks for helping the Tor network!
