I have a novel that I would like to publish here, but the problem is that I do not have enough knowledge of English. What do you suggest me to do? what happens is that I need to increase my income and I want to know if I can do it by publishing
How do I publish a novel without knowing English?
Find someone who will translate for you. Please specify your novel language.
Is there anyone in this community who does it? I speak Spanish. thanks for answering
Sercled you can use Google translation to change into English story, use any grammar corrections app like grammarly, then you can post it
Sercled increase income? You dream.
There is thousand of author, but most couldn't do it professionally.
It is hard. Not to discouraged, but to give reality. Most authors here only want to share their stories.
Rather than aim for English speaker. I don't know where, but try find Spanish speaking reader/sites. Spanish is one of the largest language in the world. There will be readers.
Add Patreon. That is they way for some people made money.
However you could not just publish and wait for the money. You need to continue writing.
If your novel good. Pay some translator to professionally translate it for you. Use Patreon again.
Perhaps you could share your spanish version here. At the worst, you only got a few readers. Ask for Patreon to pay for translation. Translate it, and post it the English version.
Personally I could only read a bit Spanish, so count me out as a reader.
MasterRabbink is that thank to uncle gugel-san or you really know?

SweetsTomato ??? (About which one? This Rabbink loves the business side of everything, I check business side of KPop band when I get into KPop. I see the difference between SMEntertainment, etc compared with Japanese AKB system for example.)
You could check the statistics of Wattpad author. Where there are many amateur authors, how many made it above the 1 million view threshold.
Other example Qidian itself. There is millions of authors in China, but only few could make it big. Qidian only promote the Top 10 highest earning author. What about the bottom 20%?
At this time, WN/QD hadn't fully completed the monetization system. So as an author it is not profitable to publish here. Everyone who published here now, came from loving the web novel in the first place.
This Rabbink didn't agree with WN future system (I prefer something like Netflix/Spotify), yet I believe WN had better statistic than me. They are the biggest Chinese novel platform for a reason. This Rabbink is only a small businessman.
Meanwhile, as a readers, this is our heyday. Quickly read those translations before it become paid novels!
MasterRabbink about know Spanish
SweetsTomato I used to be able to speak a bit. I used FSI Spanish to study, that is a free course for Spanish.
Bad place to increase your income here.. Those amateur authors here don't earn a shit.
Better work part time
Sercled what happens is that I need to increase my income and I want to know if I can do it by publishing
Royal Road is the only sight that I know of that is good for such, unless you can get a minimum of 50k words early on, and post 20k words a week with chapters being 1500-2500 words per chapter... that's what it'd take on here.;,;.
Sercled Maybe try creating a Patreon.com page or trying to make one on Kickstarter.com , IndieGoGo.com or GoFundMe.com ? Some people get pledges for all kinds of different ideas/proposals/offers

DeJeL Royal Road is only good for advertisement. Author publish their work and if it is popular, removed earlier chapters and sell it as an ebook in Amazon. It might be good if you have western fantasy.
The best part of Royal Road is the original had some ways to be promoted, but there is too many established story.
