How to get followers and why do you need them?

Dear writers,

Why is it so important to invite your readers to follow your Booknet profile?

Here are the most important reasons:

1. To notify readers about your newly published stories.

Your followers are the first readers of your newly published books. When you publish a book on Booknet, you expect your readers to be informed about it and if they don’t follow your profile, but love your books, they might not know about the new books you publish.

2.  To inform your readers about discounts and promo code raffles.

When an author becomes commercial, they have an opportunity to make giveaways on their social media or announce discounts on their books.

3. Inform readers about any relevant information to your book.

If you want to keep your readers posted about your literary activity and effectively interact with them, you may create blog posts on Booknet. However, readers that don’t follow you might not see your blog, therefore you need to make sure your readers follow you and will get a notification about your updates in blogs.

How to invite readers to follow your profile correctly?   

Try to leave a kind reminder to your readers at the end of each update. When they finish reading a newly published chapter, they will see your invitation, and readers that are interested in your work will surely press the “follow” button. Not only invite them to follow your profile but also explain why it is so important. If you let them know that the notifications are an instrument to keep in touch with them, they will follow you more eagerly. Don’t forget to mention that you are planning to upload more books to the platform, make raffles and discounts and in order to be the first to know about it, your readers need to follow your Booknet profile.

* Tip

Did you know that every time you update the book at least with 500 characters it is shown at the beginning of the list of the books added to the library?

Try to make regular updates so that your book appears on the top of the list. It will help you to keep readers hooked with your work and stimulate them not only to read your book but also to follow your profile. With more books in your profile, there will be more followers.

Can I use a “follow-for-follow” method?

Please don’t use a “follow-for-follow” method. When you become a commercial author and start selling your books, you will get a very low sales response. Besides, our system may recognize your invitations to follow as spam and your account may be blocked on the platform.
