I NEED PRO TIPS! It‘s an opportunity for other authors to benefit from this too :)

Well, for one, make sure your book shows up in search lists for various common keywords. (and maybe make sure it shows up at all, because I have problems with mine) Give a good summary at the beginning, something that might make the reader want to see more. Update at least once every few days; this is a consistent need. People will be more inclined to read books with frequent updates and seen regularly in "Updated Series".

Now I know you exist too. Your book definitely looks interesting!

So uh…does the demon accept soul installments? ?

Y’know what? Hell yeah. Do you think a pink van would work too?

I really appreciate your advice honestly! Seems genuine. Buffer chapters is a great idea, I’ll start implementing that.
A pink Van would work perfectly for all the creeps in town.

Thank you. ?? I certainly think it is. ? (Of course I would.)

Buffer chapters are incredible. I have none right now. I'm right up against my Patreon. It sucks. Don't do that. Always be ahead.

If your genre has a big presence on Reddit then promoting it there can help. Just don't be obnoxious about it.

Thank you so much for the tips! I hope your problem gets resolved as soon as possible.

Sounds like a plan! Thanks a lot :)
I hope so. ScribbleHub hasn't endeared itself to me so far.
Honestly your work deserves it, hopefully they fix it soon.

Nikocado!? haha! I hope you stack up on chapters soon enough, wishing you the best of luck :)

Ooh, what’s Payola?
What record companies used to do (supposedly illegal now but probably still happens) to get songs or artists played in heavy rotation - pay the station (or, in this case, "fans") to make sure that not only was the song or artist played frequently, it was praised as well as a brilliant new hit or whatever the "hip" term was at that point in time.
