Wattpad Friends!

On By Steven D'AdamoIn The Grand Mythos of Úr’Dan, Writers - Steve D'AdamoLeave a comment

I promise I didn’t forget to post today. I just neglected to. So in lieu of a post, I bring an update from the land of Wattpad, where you can read “The Grand Mythos of Úr’Dan” for free.

As of May 25, the five published chapters of my mythic fantasy series had a grand total of 9 reads and 0 votes. I was honestly considering whether it was worth continuing publishing on Wattpad once all 12 chapters were up.

But then I got an incredible comment from that nice user up there (comments are public, so I have no qualms about sharing them here).

Since then, my total reads have jumped to 17, with 1 vote on my first chapter! Hopefully, all those new readers continue onto later chapters, but it’s just a great confidence boost to see a random person enjoying my work and passing it on to his friends.

That’s it for now.

In that post, I provided four basic tips to running a successful marketing campaign through social media and shared my own experiences thus far with building an organic following. Continue reading “The Key to Social Media Marketing” →
