hi!! First and foremost, I am so glad you enjoyed reading! That's why I started writing here in the first place. I've been on Wattpad for over 8 years now, and I never came on here with any intention other than to write; that's it. Truly, my platform started to grow when I started making edits for my books on TikTok, and users began finding my books from there. My only advice, if you want your platform to grow, is to keep doing what you're doing. Keep honing and perfecting your craft. Keep finding new ways to make who you are as an individual exciting and inviting so users will want to read and invest in your work. But also, make sure you write stories that you would want to read. Cater toward an audience that you would be a part of. I've grown a little community of my own over many, many years, and I've sustained it by staying true to who I am, not only as a creative but as who I am as a person. Keep being who you are to your core, and everything will come naturally :) <3
