.... So. My story got through... Yay, right? 21 views, 2 likes, no comments, no favorites. .. This story has been up for 2 hours. It got almost NO time on the front page.... I'm gonna try to see of I can't do better with submitting it to a group, but I won't keep my hopes up...
don't give up.
524408 ... 2 hours. No comments, no favorites, no dislikes, 2 likes, 21 views. About 6 minutes on the front page.
524413 what do you mean 6 minutes on the front page?
524416 I mean, I had a total of 6 minutes spent on the front page before I got shoved out the way for other new stuff
524417oh... on the home page, right?
524418 Well, yeah.
524419 That page doesnt matter, what matters is the updated story tab next to the new stories tab, that counts.
524422 ... It matters more than ya think. In the time it's there, it's supposed to collect enough views to give it a decent chance. Mine didn't get shit.
524426 That is true, then you'll just have to find groups that the fits into them and post it up in them and hope for the best.
524431 That's what I'm doing...
524438 Then it will help that you either A. Write longer chapters or B. update regulary. These tips will help your story.
I find that if you ask the person who ok'd your story in the first place, to publish at certain times of the day, then you will get more hits. during the middle of the day is the worst time to publish a story as most people are at school/work. Having the story publish at around 7-8pm eastern or later is a better time to get hits. That and you can shamelessly promote your story by giving comments to featured stories.
524479 Well, I don't have the gall to shamelessly promote myself like THAT. Not only that, this was in the morning. So yeah.
524496 You can promote your story on mine if you want, I can also post a blog to promote your story if you want. I don't mind to post a blog advising my fans to come take a look.![:twilightsmile:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/twilightsmile.png)
524522 I would love you long time if you did that! Although, do read my story first. If I'm going to be promoted, I want to be sure the guy promoting me thinks the story is worth promoting.
524530 ok cool, ill check it out.
I'd promote it, but I has no people to promote it too. Dern my non-popularity.
525082 It's the thought that counts, for me.![:twilightsheepish:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/twilightsheepish.png)
525100 Meh, did it anyway. Thoughts are nice, but don't actions speak louder than words?
