How do I get more reads, votes, and comments? If you find yourself asking that question, then I have some answers for you. What can you do to reach out to readers and potential readers? How can you encourage readers to comment and vote? What are all the different ways you can promote your stories? This #1 ranking guide is written by a Wattpad ambassador and especially geared for new Wattpad authors. Lots of tips, advice, and personal opinions await you - including everything thing I've done to promote my own Watty's finalist and winning stories - but only if you turn the page. Reader testimonial by @AyushiPandey-- 'I read your guide for Wattpad success when I first started writing my story last year in August, and now it has been an entire year when I stumbled upon it again. I just have to say, I loved reading it again, it has the best tips one can find (take it from me, I have read many, many guides here). Thank you so much for taking out your time to compile such an amazing book!' Reader testimonial by @suspishfishy-- 'I have to thank you again! As soon as I wrote a book that focused on what I wanted to write, instantly people started to read my books and give me feedback!' **THIS IS NOT A PLACE TO ADVERTISE YOUR STORY. This is where you'll find detailed instructions for the proper places to advertise and find readers. If you ask people to read your story here, your comment will be removed.** Thanks to @EnjxiiBlxck for the cover.

A guide full of tips and tricks that hopefully doesn't recount the same old stuff in every other writing book under the sun, Wattpad and published alike. Covering everything from helpful resources like Susanna's Pacemaker to treating setting like character.

Admit it- we ALL judge a book by its cover. And that's okay! But it's a struggle to find the best picture, best font, and best colors, to actually make a perfect cover. By reading this guide, you'll find out how to make book covers (for beginners) by learning where to find pictures, what fonts and colors to use, how to lay out your cover, and what to include. This is a step by step guide, and most chapters include screenshots and images to help you learn. NOTE: This is EXTREMELY outdated and while tips and tricks are still correct, some info on apps and more will be outdated.

Warning: This book WILL make you successful on Wattpad! Are you an unknown author wanting to gain success on Wattpad? Tried everything and you're still unnoticed? Hi, I'm Mike Limjoco and I've done it all on Wattpad. I have hit a million reads on two of my books, and I've made it to the first page of the Hot List in five categories, including a dual #1 in Sci/Fi and Fantasy, two of Wattpad's toughest genres. I was also a finalist in the 2013 Watty Awards, and my book Kuro has been selected as a Featured Story on Wattpad where it was on the front page of Wattpad for a month. And I did it all in less than a year! This book has actually produced several #1 books from authors who were previously unknown. Don't believe me? Read the success stories and hear from fellow authors in this book! Read the comment sections to see actual case studies from other authors who have had success. Bottom line, this book works. Try it if nothing else has worked for you. You might just be surprised to find your book sitting on the first page of the Hot List ;)
