How did you get your books so popular? I don’t have that many views on mine, so I was just kinda curious 

elenaxriddle

@aLittleBurntFruit it took WORK lemme tell you that- sometimes, depending on where you live, the algorithm will help you out; living in an english-speaking country with a large population is the best(the states, india, etc) BUUUT for me, this was never going to work, as not only is south korea not an english speaking country, but hardly anyone here uses wattpad at that; i'd say from my experience being on this platform, there are three things you can do: 1) force engagement onto your books by visiting communities on wattpad that are created for the purpose of helping out small writers (search up 'vote for vote' on wattpad); 2) writing fanfics rather than original stories can also help bring in viewers, which is what i did: starting out with tvd fics and THEN publishing original works. the only way people are gonna read little-read books is if they at least know and are fans of the universe the story touches on. 3) but more than that, the best thing you can do is make sure your story is worth reading. you might seem skeptical of this advice, but this actually is the way most of my most-read books took off; they'd just sit there getting ignored for months and months, sometimes even years and years, and out of absolutely nowhere, readers would start swarming the book: "enemy of my enemy" and "the last petrova" are both cases in which there were, like, ten views for the first seven months or so, but i just kept constantly updating and eventually both books got to where they are now; same with "lunacy" and "we'll go down in history" too actually- having readers continuing to come back to your book rather than leaving it in the first chapter gives your book an immense boost. 
            and finally, there's a need to understand that wattpad isn't necessarily the best platform to work on for first-time writers. i suggest using ao3 if wattpad doesn't work out for you, because ao3 recommends fics in the order of which they were updated rather than the amount of engagement it's gotten.

@funnyslut as you should babe as you should (don't hate me for only seeing this nowwwww)
            
            the potential his character has actually cuz like i know he's been overly sexualized in this fandom and stuff but if we were to take a step away from that and actually realize how much of a pivotal arc his story could take, being the reluctant son of the absolute worst villain omg the books that could come of this-
            
            i'm ranting i'm ranting i'll stop :P
