  • How long does it take to reach a million views for an original novel?

I guarantee you if you name you novel something like "Re-Born as Grand Harem Sexy System", use a very titillating cover, post 8 chapters a day, and spam a bit you'll reach those million views in a couple of months at most.

I joke but at the same time I'm not. Views and readership are not necessarily the same thing and what determines a book's visibility and clickability is a mass formula of things. What is the genre- what are the hooks? If you get the right hook for a high viewing demographic- then you have you rmillions of views. Same concept in viral video and any curated content.

    Sorry, i just thought reading you that dashboard stats meant nothing for you. My bad.

    It wouldn't have been an issue either. There's probably quite a few authors that don't give a shit about them.

      RESUME:

      Then it turns out that you just need to write more, and even more, 2500 words a day, to publish 2-3 chapters a day, every day for 1-6 months, so that the number of readers grows? It’s just some kind of cheat, know the technology of attracting readers, this is a game or a marketing ploy.

      It turns out so, if of course I understood correctly:

      1. attractive title page

      2. an attractive name - for example, system, revival, romance, medicine, cooking (add as needed)

      3. write a lot, upload 2-3 stories to the website of the web novels with some time intervals

      4. If you write 1400 words per chapter or 2500-3000 words per day, you can get into the trend, some kind of internal rating ?! (in reality, 2,900 words can be written if everything is fine in the real world, if not so much then 300 words or even nothing at all).

      5. If you do not constantly update, then readers will leave, as well as subscriptions will be reduced

      6. the quality of writing, a minimum of grammatical errors, attract or make those who come to the light of the trend stay (their expectations were not deceived)

      7. interesting content (if it is more interesting, it even allows you to close your eyes to not very good English grammar)

      8. rating by wrapping reviews and stones

      9. update the review, to 30-90 reviews (but it’s not interesting, 10 reviews are enough to enter the formal rating. And swap is not very sporty. But nevertheless this seems to be the only way for a beginner to attract at least some that attention)

      10. Advertising through the forum

      As a result: a large number of views is determined not so much by the quality of the novel as by the efficiency of the author, he can write 4,000 words a day, he can publish 2-3 chapters every day throughout his entire novel!

      Quality is in second place.

      That is, in fact, there are two conditional groups, maybe several of them:

      1. those who want to get a contract and they need 1,000,000 readers

      2. those who need 1,000,000 readers and do not need a contract, this 1,000,000 pleasantly flatters self-esteem, a sense of self-worth, something else, each has its own cockroaches

      3. those who care about not statistics, but improving their romance, quality and not quantity

      4. those who do not care about statistics, anyway, at the rating, they publish their thoughts as they can, the creative process itself is important to them

      5. I personally do not really care about the rating, the statistic is interesting in terms of research, how many people watch me per day? Can I write 3,000 words a day? if I can, how many days, weeks, months can I write? when will I be out of breath? How many subscriptions do I have? How do my texts, improved after verification, editing, affect my subscriptions? or more importantly just the speed of writing chapters in the form of simple raw materials? At the same time, I would like to improve the letter itself so that there are emotions, that there is interesting information (I’m not always sure how to beat this information).

      6. There are probably some other ideas.

      This trick 100% would work in getting the views, who cares if your story is good or not.

      1. Update daily.
        2.Clickbait title and cover.
        3.Of course, a clickbait synopsis that didn't explain anything about your story.
        4.Get 10 rating at least, to light it up as not many actually read a story that didn't have rating.

      As for how long, it depends.
      It takes me a few months to get a million views with 2k collections, even though I write the story for WPC and lost.
      I also didn't expect to get an offer for a contract, and since it would help in getting readers on WN, why not?

      It's a small price to get my shameless ass known

      Wow! That is, relatively non-sports technology, promotion works 100 percent!

      And those who think that self-promotion is not sports, in fact, are with fewer views?

      That is, ratings are more likely the author’s ability to understand how the world of WebNovel works and to be able to get to the top using the technology of wrapping, and not the quality of writing and the interestingness of the story?

      Very entertaining!

      Thanks!

      I somewhat feel sad that I only get 1 colection per day on average, sometimes not at all. I even think my views are getting stagnant now, but my first book was worse, it stopped at only 18 collections with 100k+ words. I didnt understand collections at first thus I reached that far, sigh. Although, I'm confident that I'm good as a writer, I think Im one of those guys who draws the shortest stick. I love writing three dimensional characters, but I can't bring myself to create a gary stu that everyone fawns upon. If maybe I would be done with my novel I would study systems and make a novel out of it, since my genres never click.
