Question for you all. So my first book on wattpad I made pretty much every mistake in the book. It was a good story but I launched to zero followers and was pretty irregular posting. I was just trying to find my footing and have fun navigating wattpad. Needless to say that book didn’t get too much traction which makes sense. Now that I have found a few followers and gotten my footing I’ve decided to write a new book and really have a go at it. Some things I’m changing this time around is first of all designing a really good cover, spending a lot of time on my blurb, and writing and scheduling way in advance. So far I’ve written the first 13 chapters and about 40k words all of which I have painstakingly rewritten and edited. This way I have a ton of buffer and can maintain a consistent posting schedule. Plus I’m doing a big five chapter launch with updates twice a week.
So now that I have that figured out I’ve been trying to come up with creative marketing ideas. One thing I’m trying out is those Promote Your Story books where you share a bit about your book and blurb and link and stuff in the comments.
My question is do you think those actually work? Wattpad elders what marketing techniques would you put your most energy into?
If anyone wants I would love it if someone could check out my cover and blurb and give me tips on if it’s working or not. I would really appreciate it!

@Indigo8444 my best strategy was to do R4R and f4f and establish good writing friends, that all pays off in the end, self promotion books are good too. If you can get a few friends to shout out your story on their feeds that also helps
