I'm worried about the rules of promotion. How can we promote our story? If I share that with my insta friends, then it'll be considered self-promotion?
Can I promote my novel on social media?
You can promote it here: https://forum.webnovel.com/d/53229-july-2021-review-swap-here and here: https://forum.webnovel.com/d/53230-july-2021-shameless-promotion-thread on the forum, but I think you can just share it wherever you want. I mean I generally dislike that, so I only sent my books to a few of my friends, and close family.
Yeah as mentioned the rules for promotion generally are to keep this forum, relatively tidy. Outside of these forums... have at.
Thanks a lot for your response. Can you please confirm if we can share wherever we want so it will not affect my account later or be considered spam?
Thanks for your response. Can you please elaborate?

maryam_library So, the first thing that came to mind, was how JKSManga, author of My Vampire System, has his own website here: jksmanga.com he has webnovel.com linked there, but he also uses instagram jksmanga to advertise as well. I think you should be fine. If you're still unsure, try contacting an admin, or any staff member, I'm sure they'd be happy to reply as well.
Generally there's a pinned promotion thread for promoting your book here, likewise one if you want to do review swaps. Outside of webnovel its up to yourself how you want to promote. Facebook, discord, BBS...it's really up to yourself... though some common sense should key in there. An example would be promoting your book on sites that have nothing to do with the subject, or say going to gaming forums to spread your written word. Some of it should be no brainer things buttttt time has proven that some people need to be reminded that regardless of good intent, unrelated material is mostly just spam in unrelated mediums.
Similar with going to other book distribution platforms like wattpad or whatever, they have their own rules so acquaint yourself with them before trying to redirect traffic off their site... some don't mind... others ban with extreme prejudice.
maryam_library You can definitely use other platforms to promote your novel, such as sharing chapters. You may NOT share locked/premium chapters (the ones that uses coins to unlock) in any other site but WN if you are exclusively contracted with them.
As far as this Webnovel Forum, you only can promote in Shameless Promotion, Review Swaps, and if a reader is asking for novels to read- keep in mind it must meet their requirements for you to promote your novel.
You are even allowed to post your novel in other platforms, but now depends on the contract. I would recommend you Neovel, since it pay your novel for chapters content and views. Royal Road it is also a good choice, but you have to send evidence that it is your novel. GoodNovel and Wattpad are also a good decision

In my opinion promotion through social networks is a good idea. But here you have to work on the content and on the correct presentation of information. It will be much easier and faster to Buy Sitejabber Reviews After all, everyone knows that on the Internet a product is added to the wish list or bought based on reviews, and the more positive reviews there are, the better.

A well-crafted presentation of your novel can be an effective method for promotion. Professionals from a pitch deck design service understand how to showcase your story in the best possible way to impress and leave a lasting impact on the audience. Through carefully chosen visuals, compelling storytelling techniques, and attention to detail, they can help you create a memorable presentation that captures the essence of your novel.
