@fingertips_pour_love yes, I did. And had no idea how much work, research, and money you need to really make it a big bang ya know. You are your advertisement. You have to post constantly on social media. Give our giveaways, have a good bit of beta readers to review your book by sending them a free copy and publishing in more then one website as we'll. Its a full time job. Ive been there with mental breakdowns, the pandemic was the worst time of my life. The only good that came out of it was meeting Lindsey and other readers and authors on Instagram and wattpad. Ive unpublished until I have the money and time to put in the hard work to advertise. I work 50plus hours a week at my store and I'm always on call so it's been hard to update my chapters the last couple of years. Do you habe IG? Best place to start your social media for your books on wattpad. On this site have regular chapter updates will draw followers faster. Dont publish an entire book at once. Set days schedules. It helps. Check out my IG page and see how I've set up my account. I am a huge supporter and can help make promos for your books ect. Ive done a zillion for Lindsey. Not cuz she asked but because I'm obsessed with her books. Every single one pf them lmao I'm bradleys toothpick for a reason. I also go by bear brads purple unicorn lmfao
