Hi, i'm a bit new to tumblr and wanted to know what is a good way to make sure that lots of people get to find a and read your stories? thanks in advance and love your blog by the way
Best tip: Find your tag people. If you’re writing fanfic, tag your fandom, tag your ships, tag your main characters, etc… Remember that only the first five tags show up in searches or XKit’s tracking.
Link to your work on AO3, FF.net, your separate Wordpress or wherever else you publish. However, remember that Tumblr pisses on posts with external links in searches and rankings. So you might want to consider an internal blog page where you park your links. Then, in your posts, link to your internal blog page instead.
If you write original works, check out what other writers are tagging theirs. I think #writblr and or #writeblr are popular, as is #writing and #original writing
Follow other writers. Send them love and comments. Build a network.
Reality check: Unless you’re an established artist, don’t expect hundreds of followers hanging on your every word, waiting anxiously for each new post. There are thousands upon thousands of other writers on Tumblr, all looking for exposure.
For our followers: Any other suggestions for helping each other navigate the Great Tungler-dot-com plains?
