Hi! Been a huge fan for a while and have started writing my own story, I was wondering if you’d be okay sharing any tips you have for getting out there since so far no one seems to like it

Sorry for the late response! Been on vacation.
It’s hard to tell what will be successful with people. My suggestions:
1. Plot Summary: Make sure your plot summary is short and concise. Too much detail or information can overwhelm a reader casually trying to find something to read. The summary is like an advertisement so short, sweet and attention grabbing is essential.
2. Niches: sometimes the ideas we want to write are too niche with tiny audiences so it’s hard to gain readers if your plot/characters are part of a small “fanbase”. Sometimes they just won’t get a lot of readers but if you want to write it, write it!
3: Time/patience: sometimes it just takes time for your stories to gain readers. I’m pretty sure my numbers were pretty paltry and by internet standards I don’t have that many either. And I know the frustration but just give it time. Art/writing isn’t always a hit with everyone and it might take the right reader to finally recognize it and spread the word
4.Communities: if your story falls into a certain genre or fandom find groups with these interests and plug your story with them. That can really help and you can gain helpful advice/relations.
I’m not guaranteed success but this is what I did and what I notice
