Monetization
Stevita:
Build your audience first with free stories. You can always work on outlines and drafts for future premium stories and release them once you have a large enough following.
Build a social media presence outside of FF and post previews of your work. I like Tumblr because you can gain popularity pretty quickly just replugging things you like and posting your random feedist thoughts as well!
Once you feel like you have a loyal audience, it's time to offer some premium content!
I believe in you!

Hey
I'm also kinda thinking about monetization in the future. I just started writing, so it might not be realistic right now, but what would you say is a big enough audience? Is there any number that comes up in your head?

Hey
I'm also kinda thinking about monetization in the future. I just started writing, so it might not be realistic right now, but what would you say is a big enough audience? Is there any number that comes up in your head?Not to speak for Stevita, but some of it is “you know it when you know it”. You can feel when your writing starts to get a lot of positive feedback and people are subscribing to your profile and commenting when you post new chapters. I think one of the keys is to consistently have have new content. I had a reasonably popular story on here that got good traction, but I’ve been writing for different audiences since that wrapped up and haven’t had WG fic to keep people coming back. It is what it is, I haven’t really had the inspiration for the kinkier material, but it hurts engagement. Stevita’s cross promotion advice is spot on, too. This is a small community compared to WG tumblr or reddit or deviantart. But always read the fine print. My favorite part about this site is that the creator has a lot of control over their content. I could delete all my stories with a push of a button. It doesn’t mean they get struck from the face of the earth, but a lot of sites don’t even give you that option. If you post something somewhere and decide you want to monetize it down the road, make sure you have the ownership of your own content that allows for you to remove free versions. Your stories are good, keep writing!

Thanks for taking time to write such a long answer! Yeah, I'm trying to update weekly. We'll see how it goes. I definitely have enough ideas, but sometimes life can get hectic.
And I'll consider the idea of posting on different platforms, thanks again 😊
