I just have a simple question: how many words do you need for your novel to show up on the featured page or whatever. I just know that you need a certain amount of words to get your novel noticed. Isn't it like 10,000 words or something close to that?
Getting Novels Noticed
Daily Update feature is the only one most novel will get ever access to, without getting contracted. It's random pick between all the novels that got DAILY UPDATE for and extended period of time.
Sometimes if your novel is doing nicely, you might get additional feature. But bear in mind, that its something REALLY coveted.
Also, you need 15k words in your novel in order to appear in the NEW NOVELS ranking for a month (not sure whether its counted from publishing your first chapter or from the moment you get into the ranking)
