If I'm honest with you, I had no time for this new account on this particular day. I had a school trip which began at 7 am and I came back at 8 pm, and essentially I didn't have time to be checking up on it let alone working on my new book. But as I said before, something rather magical began to happen. Much like a real life child, as this book grew in reads it began to take care of itself. Advertise itself. Get new readers.
This may be a completely incorrect theory, but I believe that once a book has hit around 400 reads people trust it. And by trust I mean they are willing to click on it and invest their time in getting into the story because they see that other people have enjoyed it as well. This is why I believe my book managed to grow at the rate it did - I managed to gather momentum for it early on.
Statistics at the end of day eighteen:
900 reads
116 followers
Lesson learnt: Not everyone is going to invest their time in a new book, you need to show them why they should read it.
