    A big part of it is making your stories appealing. I’ve seen some top stories that are terrible and have bad characters and worse grammar, but it doesn’t matter because it caters to who uses Wattpad- thirsty teenagers. I’d recommend that you stay original though and write what you want. Include romance to draw in readers, sure, but make your stories unique.

      Fr, I enjoy Sonic and most of them are just...decent or cursed and some can be really good but it’s kinda hard to find
      I did write my own cause I just love anything Sonic related XD

      Is my story concept original?
      ” A duo of young knights venture throughout the world after their knight legion gets killed, and collects 10 Gemstones with unlimited magical power to save the world from an evil kingdom.

    I was quite shocked when my new story of 4 chapters or so got ranked high while the one I put emphasis on in creating with longer chapters didn't have a single rank. I felt jealous of myself and hope to improve with the tips to stop feeling jealous of myself 😂😂 thank you for the video!

    00:00 📈 Understanding the Wattpad algorithm: It works similarly to algorithms on other platforms like UA-cam, recommending content based on user preferences.
    02:20 🎨 Improving engagement: Higher engagement (reads, votes, comments) increases the likelihood of story recommendations.
    04:29 💬 Encouraging comments: End chapters with questions to prompt reader interaction and feedback.
    05:40 ⭐ Encouraging votes: Use banners at the end of chapters to remind readers to vote.
    07:05 📚 Promoting reading lists: Clear genres and specific tropes attract readers to add your story to their lists.
    09:00 🔖 Tagging strategies: Use accurate, specific, and popular tags to increase visibility and engagement.
    11:09 🌟 Hot list considerations: Engagement is key for ranking on Wattpad's Hot List, relative to story performance.
    11:52 🤡 Bloopers and outro: Tips summarized and gratitude expressed for the viewer's engagement.

    The emergence of AI will make it difficult to discern the algorithm behind a search engine (Wattpad is a search engine for books).
    Grammatical errors in the text may also be significant. Or... not.
    Anyway, congratulations on the video, Caitlin! It's very cute, and I learned new things.

      Many write books and they aren't that good so with that opinion ppl come and go without trying at least 4 chapters. They read books only with more than 100k views. It's gonna be hard if your book is lower than that but don't be discouraged. Enter into awards, genuine r4r or reviews. It's gonna take a year but if you're lucky and don't give up. Ppl will pick your book
