New emerging novels

[Overlord_Venus]

Hello everyone. This is my first time drifting to the forums here so I thought, 'Why not create a thread by posting my novel.'
I'll keep it short. Please check out my novel, "So, Humans Were GODS All Along?" and give me some tips and suggestions if you have the extra time on your hands. I'll try to do the same if others post their story links to this thread.
So, Humans Were GODS All Along?

That's all folks. Thanks for your time!

The story sounds great so far!
Here are my recommendations:

1. Space out your episode posts. For example, I have up to Chapter 10 in my novel written but have only posted up to chapter 3. I have the others scheduled to be posted every Saturday at noon.
   Doing this allows you to build up subscribers. That will get your novel popularity. It will get it posted on the trending or popular page.

2. You need to tag your novel and the chapters. On the novel's page, where you can do the description and whatnot, at the bottom you can add tags. Add as many tags as possible here. That way when people search for something on tapas, like "gods" your novel will pop up.
   You will also need to do this on the individual chapter pages. Unlike the main novel, the individual chapters can only have 10 tags.

3. In your book description, put the URL at the end. When you do this, it may take a few hours for the website to make your change, so don't worry if it does not process the change right away.

4. Ask questions in the comments section at the end of each chapter. Your readers are more likely to comment if you ask them a question. It is also a great way to get feedback.

5. Stay active in the forums. Being a part of a writing community like the one on the forums will give you more ideas, more confidence in your writing, and give you peers, to bounce ideas off of.
   It is also an amazing resource if you ever need anything.

6. Use a free editing software like Grammarly to go over your work before publishing. Sometimes we miss simple mistakes when writing and editing software is perfect for catching those

Haha, thanks for these helpful tips. I'm still fumbling around in this site since I'm new here. There are many things here that makes me feel like I'm living under a rock
Have to learn.....

A lot of what I have learned about growing my audience, I have learned from my job. I work in marketing and advertising. The rest I learned from other writers here on the forums.

I suggest you take advantage of the series stats, found on the dashboard. They will let you know how many views you got in one day. Also, if you are trying something new out, you can see the impact it had.

It might take some time, but I'll adapt to this site.
