5 TIPS FOR BUILDING WATTPAD READERS

If you are starting your Wattpad journey, these 5 Tips For Building Wattpad Readers could come in handy.

You spend hours pouring your heart into your newest and greatest story only to post it to Wattpad and get zero reads. Disappointing would be an understatement but there are a few things you can do to increase your readership. One thing to keep in mind, it’s a marathon not a sprint. Be patient, be genuine, and they will come. Below are a few tips I have learned that will help you rack up those readers.

TIP #1 When someone takes the time to read your work, thank them.

Why should they keep reading your work if you don’t even acknowledge them? Using the name of your book when you thank them seems to also help. Example: Thanks @genosystem1 for reading Protecting Olivia and I really hope you are enjoying it.

TIP #2 Get involved in FORUMS. 

This will allow you to network with other users. Just allowing people to see your real personality will draw them to you and if you are lucky they will even check out your profile. Don’t underestimate the power of networking with fellow authors and readers.

TIP #3 Invest in your readers. When they comment, comment back.

They want to know that you are listening and when you take care of them, they will take care of you. The more you communicate with them, you will see real relationships begin to form.

TIP #4 Invest in other readers. 

Support them by voting and commenting on their work. This will not only help your writing improve but will get your name out there. When you support them, they will likely return the favor.

TIP #5 Post consistently.

Your readers look forward to updates. Sometimes they wait patiently just hoping a new one will post. When they can depend on you to update consistently you build trust with them and they just might stick around.
