How many followers would you consider to be a "decent readership" on Scribble Hub?

[FGCCheckmate]

I know there are a lot of factors/variables to take into consideration, but I'm just trying to get an idea of what some readers and writers would consider to be a sizeable/successful follow count.

What's the requirement for that?

Magic~~♡

Well, come on trending a few times to get them.

How to get on trending?

Pure magic~~♡
Or RNG as you would call it.


But on a more serious note, the most important thing is to post regularly, on a schedule.
On the author page you can see what country likes your work the most, so post chapters at times when its day for them.
There's also the cover you have to take into notice.

Don't be afraid to rewrite the whole thing if you feel you have gotten better at writing

What's the requirement for that?

Rising author: 500+ readers
Well-known author: 1000+ readers
Famous author: 2000+ readers

This is for total readers across all stories I think

I would say 100 readers for one story is above the average, 500 is decently successful, 1000 readers is something to be proud of and at 2000 readers you have joined the club of the top stories on the site.

That's my take on it.

Thanks, that's the kind of take I was looking for. Do you consider word count to be part of that? Like, a story with 250k words and 100 followers might be kind of low, right?

Honestly to an extent but the way this site (and many sites) works is that stories have a tendency to explode especially when they hit the front page trending train. So it's hard to say with the word count. Also I have a suspicion that longer stories have a higher chance to hit trending. More chapters mean more views per reader since each chapter view counts as one view. More chapters also mean more favs and more comments which further pushes up your analytics. So in other words a higher chance to hit that trending snowball.

Anecdotally I'm not sure about that. My story has hit the front page trending three times in the past two weeks, today being the most recent. I have only twenty-seven chapters (Plus two short side stories [2.5k words] and one announcement from when my cover was finished) but average 6.5k words per chapter.

From my own experience, I would say that the formula probably accounts for excessive numbers of short chapters... possibly something like only looking at your average engagement, not sum total engagement.

I posted the first chapter in late October and upload a new chapter three times a week.

You should also take into account genres. Like if you're not writing a "mainstream" genre in SH, 100 followers might already be considered a huge deal.

Pretty sure rising author is 300 readers but only on one story

I do notice the vast majority of consistently trending stories are at least 40 chapters. There are outliers certainly for standout stories but most have a decent amount of chapters. Honestly, the only way to get on trending reliably is just to write a popular story. (Who would've thought right? In other news the sky is blue and the grass is green)

If you are talking about follows, it's useless. If you are talking about readers, about 2k is decent, 3-4k is successful.

A great milestone is certainly 100K readers, but 1 million I would consider truly a pretty big story.

Depends what you write.
I write romantic smut with ntr undertones
and fluffy yuri.

500 readers in those genres are just as heavy as 2k readers in some aromance litrpg.
