even the 4 super popular stories you listed as examples don't do a single of the things you said and everyone is agreeing "waow hahahaha so true" is this cope in action

It's better to build an audience and then move to Amazon. You need people willing to buy your book right when it comes out to boost you up the BSR and category lists. Launching dry on Amazon is generally a poor idea unless you have some means of significant external marketing. There's a reason...

If you want to take web fiction seriously as a career then reading this guide is a must: https://www.royalroad.com/forums/thread/116847 Written by the author of DOTF It addresses meta elements/the business side of writing though. The first requirement is knowing how to write a good story of...

If your writing changes so significantly with chapter length, and chapter word count isn't simply about choosing where you put breakpoints, then you should pick a chapter length that best serves your story. Is your story structure better told at 1k words per chapter's arc, or 2k? And if you...

Rather than asking SH forums (or RR forums for that matter) and getting a bunch of incorrect and uninformed answers, you can go run a fiction search yourself and identify the typical word count found in successful stories. Assuming you aren't writing smut or lgbt stuff, you should be focusing...

English doesn't have to be your first language for you to be a competent English writer. Some extremely popular web novelists are ESL. You don't have to be Steinbeck here you just need to write clear sentences with decent flow. The standards for web novels are basically in the dirt. So, my...

You didn't engage once in "logical arguments". You only now respond after I gave up and tried to set OP straight with the same shit you were doing the whole time—appeal to authority. Whatever. I feel bad for everyone misguided enough to listen to people on these forums. Hopefully OP reads my...

Checking what this Rookie guy writes, his work doesn't belong on Scribblehub—in the sense it isn't on market. He should be trying to corner RoyalRoad. SH has a market for smut and LGBT+ stuff. The RoyalRoad forums are also hopelessly clueless though. Go find select knowledgeable, successful RR...

I truly do not care if you believe me, because I think relying on "argument by credentials" is cringe as fuck. Only Paul_Michaels brings it up literally everywhere I post because he is obsessed with the concept of readers and money

I never bring up my credentials, I make arguments that stand on their own. The only one deepthroating here is you to me. Literally stalking my post history and bringing that shit up over and over. I am not Agdistis and I don't give a shit if you think I am. Go shit up his comment section for all...

It's really not surprising the biggest success story on these forums is a literal noname to the site even on an already small site to its small niche of web serials If anyone is actually here to learn how to write, please avoid these forums like the plague. The only remotely coherent advice...

Sure, I'll engage. Explain the goal post I moved.

With this reminder I'll just leave since you two are officially circlejerking despite not making a remotely decent argument against anything I said. But you have your name-matching bubble buddy backing you up, so that proves you aren't in the wrong. Christ

Glad you deflected with a joke and didn't address the actual point I made—I accept your concession. I don't have any issue with you, I don't know who tf you are, you just need to get your ego under control because you aren't even in the top 25 authors on this site, and top 25 on ScribbleHub...

Sorry, where did I say this? I said it's not the ideal list to check for market research. Trending highlights stories that aren't the site's top performers—in fact that's probably intentional, because the stories who are actually doing well don't need highlighting. There's a reader-max hardcoded...

What. It goes up over time and how many readers you have, I suppose. But not inherently with chapters--average views is... views averaged to chapter count. What the fuck point are you making? Explain to me why using the trending list is better than making a sort for "fastest growing new...

It's not ragebait, you're just stuck in this masturbatory echo chamber forums that doesn't know wtf they're talking about and won't ever call someone out for being wrong Go sort by activity, views, or readers and compare to your own story Your best story: Avg views 3300 #1 Most Read: Avg views...

Okay...but you also are like #300+ for readers Your stories don't get many views (by the standards of the actual big stories) and you aren't remotely in the highest-followers list either Yet you always show up on trending? The algo is broken, has been forever Use the lists I mentioned if you...

Don't know who you are but if the implication is that you show up on the trending list often, that's the exact problem. I went and checked the first 4 pages of https://www.scribblehub.com/series-ranking/ which displays the stories with the most views over the past week, and you don't show up...
