Hi, everyone.
I startet wo write a Scy-fi Web-Novel about Virtal Reality recently. And i decidet to release it on a Blogg.
The whole thing is in German, but i integratet a google Tanslater on the Site (whitch surprisingly, turned out to be quite competent).
So here is te obvious Problem:

I released 12 Chapters by now, but noone knows about it. How can i make People notice my Blogg (besides posting this Question)?

The Blogg is here, if you are interested:

I'll check it out next time I take a shit or
Have time to read.

>>16615163
Oh wait it's in German

Can you translate it and repost?
>>
>>16615176
>>16615176
I could, but it will not be better than with google Translator (English is not my Native Laguage).

I probably will do a professional Translation at some time, but since it will (most probably) cost me, i'l wait with that until its worth it.

consider opening a tumblr. yes i know, the cancer, teh feminism, but thats just a small part of it. there are entire circles that focus on shit like this that can help build your base. no one goes around LOOKING for blogspots anymore, and 99% of the ones that people find are porn ones.

tumblr on the other hand has millions of users looking for scifi, virtual reality, etc. on the daily, and they will see your results everytime you publish.

other ideas
>consider artwork

people arent as big on reading as they used to be.we like visual mediums. now im not saying you should turn your book into a comic series, but you can take your favorite parts, or little parts that would be cool, and draw them as a quick comic strip. even just having cool art work for epic scenes helps. if you cant draw, ask friends. starting a chapter with a comic strip detailing the 'last time' or where you left off, or the first scene can help people immerse themselves fast. at the very least each chapter can have a sort of 'cover art' making people wonder what happens in the story.

another thing to consider is perhaps releasing it ALSO as an audio book. if your voice isnt good this isnt a big deal, you can hire people off of places like the Voice Actors alliance, or look at fandub german communities to do the reading. even get different actors on different episodes so it doesnt take so long. that way even those who like to listen can hear the story too, bigger fanbase. you can even layer music under certain parts, theres even free music resources for this.,

also
>storywrite

that was a popular story telling website when i was younger it is still around and maybe active, but im sure there are others as well. post your story EVERYWHERE, and then submit your first chapter to amateur contests. evne if you dont win it brings inviewers, thats how i managed to get views on my web novel.

but before you do any of this, consider the following
>get ahead.

if you know how long the story might be and you know how frequently you want to release (two chapters a month? one a month?) take the time to get ahead first. if its 24 chapters long and you want to release 2 chapters a month, thats one year worth of chapters.

you already have 12, so try and write a few more chapters before you start posting to tumblr and such.

when you post to tumblr, consider removing it from blogspot and just posting it as if its your first time releasing it, so people arent overwhelmed by it.

Ok then man I will try and translate it and read it.

Is you email on there?

1. Find your target audience, which in this case would be Germans. And promote it among these people.

2. Get media coverage. Ie threathen to murder Angela M in the novel and get arrested for it.

3. Suck the dick of some book exec.

Whoa, thanks for the detailed Advice. I will defenetly consider it.
Like you probably noticed, its my first time making a blogg, so i have to start from scratch and figure out "Everythin" like new-Born Child. It feels like learning to walk ...
Its emberessing to admit, but i know nothing about Thumblr XD.
But i will defenetly check it out.

Again, thanx a lot!

>>16615248

thats fine. if tumblr isnt big in germany, look around for networking sites like tumblr that germans use.
