I am currently working on my stories and it's quite hard because it's not getting a lot of reads. I want to promote it but don't know how....what to do??
I'm writing stories, how do I promote it?
xenos_ changed the title to I'm writing stories, how do I promote it?.
xenos_ every month, there are two discussion in this forum.
One is "promote your novel here" and second is "review swap"
In promote your novel, You give a link of your novel, tell them what is interesting about your novel, write everything that you think will be useful to attract readers. You can only do it once a month. It's not really useful, but good enough.
In review swap, its the same as promote your novel, just ask for review swap and if people want to review swap with you, they will review your novel. In eturn, you need to review your novel too. You can also review other novel first and ask them to review back. Review is good for rating. Higher rating give your novel more exposure.
Then, there's discord, you can also promote your novel in other social media like Instagram and patreon.
xenos_ also, just keep writing and updating, and try to converse with your readers more. Asking them questions through author's note so your readers know you are harmless and Friendly. And if there's a reader who comments on your novel, you reply back with kimd words and appreciation so they will feel appreciated.
xenos_ You can join the weekly TGIF (application form provided in the discord group), and I discovered that if you want to have more views on this platform it’s better to update frequently while it’s still in its infancy.
