About getting your work noticed, as I have had a lot of asks about this recently, a lot of it is not about what you as a writer are doing (though of course posting frequently and in an easily palatable form can help), but a lot is how we as a community engage with writers/artists.
Namely, preaching to the choir, and other people have said it better, but reblog.
From my experience, just as a general trend I’ve noticed…
100 notes tends to be around 10 reblogs.
200-300 notes tends to meant between 20-30 reblogs.
500 notes tends to be around 50-60 reblogs.
900 notes tends to be 100+ reblogs
3000 tends to be 500+ reblogs.
66,000 is looking at more like 27,000 reblogs on writing.
Obviously, it’s not an exact science, but you get the point.If you like a writer, reblogging (the little green arrow) is a great encouragement. We generally read all of the tags. Likes are the existing audience. Reblogs allow creators to expand beyond their existing audience.
My main point is, maybe, that if your work is not getting a lot of attention it’s not that you’re bad of writing, it’s to do with how social media works. It takes time. And, predominantly, help.
