How to get Reads?

There are many ways to get reads :slight_smile:
If you have Instagram (or other social media), that will go a long way to helping. Start sharing screenshots of your story that will entice readers to find out what’s going to happen, and follow other Episode community members.
You can promote your story here too in a thread, which will draw some attention to it.
You can also participate in a few R4Rs (read for reads) on here (and Instagram, etc), that will help see your story get more consistent views (and therefore go higher in rank because the reader retention will be higher).
There are many groups on Instagram that also promote stories and give reviews, sharing your story with thousands of potential readers.
There is also a guide on Episode that talks about using key words in the description to entice readers interested in that category (I saw it briefly today so may be able to find it again.)
At one stage, my story only had 50 reads for MONTHS, and I was losing a lot of hope, but then people started coming to it. I know you are likely way more patient than me, but I also advise nevertheless to not expect hundreds of reads really quickly; it’ll take just a little time to see it happen, but don’t lose hope.

I hope this helps :slight_smile:
