What do you want to see?

I am at a loss... What do readers want to see? Scroll and tell me which slide encourages you to read my book the most?!

-Standalone over

-Reviews

-Character art

-Book quotes

-Trope map

It seems that social media is stalling out for almost everyone. It's getting harder to share content with new people, and I want to catch attention!

Feedback is appreciated, sharing is appreciated, and if you have read and not reviewed, that is VERY VERY much appreciated 🤗

... Read moreAs a writer, understanding your audience is crucial for creating engaging content. When asking 'What do you want to see?' consider various factors such as standalone excerpts, impactful reviews, and visual representations like character art. In the current digital era, feedback can make a significant difference. The importance of social media in promoting books cannot be understated, but many authors face challenges in reaching new readers. To break through this barrier, authors can share captivating content that resonates with their audience. Incorporating reader preferences like trope maps and book quotes can lead to deeper engagement and visibility. Encourage readers to interact, share insights, and review their experiences. Gathering this diverse feedback shapes future content strategies and fosters community around your writing. Building strong connections with readers and providing content they crave enhances your chances of expanding your reach and cultivating a loyal fanbase. Remember, the more you engage and understand your audience's desires, the more successful your journey as an author can become.
