Tips on How to Get More Readers
1. Promote YOUR WORK!
Writer and article rankings on TBT are based largely on audience response. The more readers you draw and the more fans you attract, the more prominently your writing will be featured on the network.
The practical implication here is that you’d do well to promote yourself however you can. And don’t be shy about it. Tell your friends about your articles. Get them to add you as a Favorite Writer. If you know a fan site that posts referral links, submit your work for consideration—anything you can do to get your name out there.
There’s no substitute for exposure is the point—by any means necessary. All’s fair in love and cyberspace. The only thing holding you back is your own ingenuity.
*Note: TBT does not condone spamming or polluting other sites or forums. Ensure you read forum rules, terms and conditions before promoting your work.
2. You need a HOOK.
No writer is guaranteed an audience, especially on the Internet.
Web readers are notoriously prone to Attention Deficit Disorder. If you’re going to build a fan base, you have to give people a reason to stick around.
What does that mean? In a practical sense, it means you’ve got to write with a purpose. Readers are engaged by writers who make pointed arguments and clear presentations. There’s a reason you sat down to write your article—it’s your job to make that reason resonate in the text.
Ask yourself this question whenever you submit a piece: Would I want to read this if I hadn’t written it?
If the answer is no, you may be in trouble. If the answer is yes, you’re off to a good start.
