Does it hurt you when you see other writers getting lots of notes on their stuff and something you care about doesn't? I don't know how to deal with only getting like 2 maybe 3 notes on anything I post. I'd like some advise but I'm shy. Thank you.
Ooof, anon, I think youâll hit every writer and content creator right were it hurts with this one! Itâs something I think everyone goes through, so in short, yes, it does hurt. You put hours and hours into something, you check your grammar, you check the flow of the story, the pace, the characterisation, the dialogue, and then you hit post, and then⌠nothing, maybe a dribble of likes. Itâs so demoralising. But donât give up because half of that problem it Tumblrâs algorithms.
If even one in ten people who enjoyed a story reblogged it, itâd be seen by so many more people! Itâs that whole âcircle of influenceâ thing. If the people who already follow you only âlikeâ your work, or even just enjoy it passively without bothering to leave anything behind grr then youâll never attract new followers and your work will never get seen beyond the people who already follow you.
This is why reblogs matter.
Hang on in there, anon. Make your writing as top quality as you can get it, and people will come to you in time. Donât be afraid to reblog your own stuff every now and again too, so that people who might have missed it before can see it, but be careful not to spam people with the same content over and over⌠Itâs a delicate balance. Good luck!!
