@Wave1989 I wish I could help, but I also struggle getting my work known (as evident that my story only has 400 reads and most of them are from me proof reading:( ) I think it helps if you have a strong social media following (which i dont) to advertise on. As well as grinding out critiques for people (as payment is often in the form of review for review) so that nets you a couple more reads and possibly a fan or two. All in all, unfortunately, people here take the number of reads/votes to mean that a story is good so they ignore a story with 100 reads in favor of a story that has 1,000+. If you can grind until you reach over a thousand reads, then it becomes easier to net more reads. But its really a grindint process.
