Day 4 Goal: Launch your serial and get your first readers!
3 things to know:
1. Readers love content. Don’t worry about your chapters being perfect. You can edit them later. All readers want from you is a good, well-told story. And drama…readers LOVE drama.
2. Leave author notes. What are these? Short notes by you at the end of every chapter. Ask questions and get the conversation going, so readers feel comfortable being part of your community.
3. The launch is just the beginning. If this is your first serial, it’s going to be a learning process. That’s okay! Trust the process. If you’re a seasoned pro, well…you got this!
Action Step:
Determine your initial goal.
Are you trying to gain more followers? Are you hoping to convert followers to paying members? Or maybe you just want people to engage. Your goal determines how you analyze your serial data tomorrow and further improve, so this is very important!
Now share your serial with readers! I know, suuuuper scary. But hey, isn’t everything scary at first? Your readers WANT to read more content from you, so share it with them! And if you’re a new serial author, readers WANT to discover new stories, so give it to them!
