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.

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!'

Quarantine by Bella_Higgin

When a deadly disease ravages the town of Holmsley, Frankie and her friends find themselves trapped inside a military-blockaded quarantine zone. ***** A story that was first published in 2014 and feels more relevant than ever.

As the body count rises, Frankie realizes that this is no ordinary quarantine and no one is coming to help.

It seems she'll have to unravel the dark truth behind it all if she wants to get out alive... Content and/or trigger warning: This story describes disease outbreaks and contains scenes of violence, which may be triggering for some readers. [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]]

From France to America: a Journey of Strength by Mlissa534070

Hi, my name is Melissa. I've never considered myself a strong person, but I didn't realize that at the time. I always struggled to keep a job, never really understanding why happiness seemed so elusive. I thought I was content, unaware that I was, in fact, struggling. I know what you might be thinking, but please, keep reading. Something happened to me during my first year of working at 16 that changed my life forever. It hurt me in ways I couldn't fully comprehend, and while that pain has lessened over time, it shaped the person I've become-someone stronger than I ever imagined I could be. What I thought would destroy me instead pushed me to move to another country, a place where I barely knew the language. At just 24 years old, despite my parents' concerns and their insistence that I shouldn't go alone, I embarked on this journey by myself. Up until then, I had often hidden behind my parents, relying on them to face the world for me. But the events of my past forced me to confront life head-on. I didn't realize it at the time, but I was hiding from the world, keeping my head down, and avoiding the challenges that came my way. But now, I'm ready to share my story, lift my head, and face the world with courage. It's been a journey full of unexpected twists, and I promise you-it's going to get interesting.

Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen by yeji072

Hello everyone! So this is by no means my book. I'm just posting it for myself and those that might need it for classes or just entertainment. All credit goes to Jane Austen. I don't know why but it's always easier to read on Wattpad rather than the actual book. Hahahaha I hope this becomes of some use to you :)

Being Hatsuharu's older sister gave you a different perspective on the zodiac curse. You were more careful and respectful towards the zodiac members. Especially with your childhood friend, the orange haired boy who was always rejected by others... . . . . . This is my first time writing and publishing a story :) I'm open to every comments and please tell me how I could make it better. Hope you all enjoy it :3 I tried to follow the main fruits basket story line but modified some bits to fit my character in the story. Of course, I don't own the main plot line nor the original fruits basket characters.
