No One Viewed My Stories Until I Started Doing This

A simple hack to build an audience

It’s soul-destroying having no one read your stories.

I’ve grown to 450 followers in a few months using this simple hack.

If you don’t have an audience, did you know you can steal one?

Start commenting.

Commenting is an amazing opportunity that is often wasted. It gets your writing in front of loads of people.

But you need to add value with your comments.

You add value by:

*sharing your experiences

*sharing useful resources

*offering advice

All related to the article.

Don’t:

  • repeat the article
  • argue to appear clever
  • be bland (‘love these tips’)
  • comment on topics you don’t write about

Provide value with your comments and readers will explore your writing.

And then their audience will become yours.
