Yeah, fiction is rather niche, especially when it comes to commissioned work, so I've mostly worked on longer works (novellas, novels). I can imagine having clients that offer steady work is great. I guess the biggest problem for me is finding them or where to even start in that regard. The...

Interesting. Just checked and you're right. The first month really is only $1 with the discount. That would at least allow me to get a feel for the platform and create one high-level narration. Thanks! Seems to be right. SEO did okay with some articles, but others simply don't seem to rank...

Let me start this by stating, I'm not looking for handouts or gold nuggets. I'm a hard worker, but I'm a bit lost currently. As the title states I am a writer, predominantly fiction, but I've also dabbled in blogging / content marketing. Still, things aren't picking up, and my earnings are...

Well, I decided to end this journey, since my current focus isn't on Social Media anymore, but on publishing. I might start a new journey for that. Thanks for reading everyone and I hope some of you could learn a thing or two! All the best!

Been some time since I updated this journey. Not a whole lot to say unfortunately. Once again I've focused mainly on writing and trying to get my stories out there. Got a few stories on a podcast and earned a couple hundred, so that's pretty decent. Also got some great backlinks from one of the...

Considering buying some links, could you please provide me with some samples?

Been a long while since I posted on here. Journey's still going and I'm still writing. Past year I focused more on a longer series that's still in the works and I created a few articles for my website. Overall, ranking articles is tough. Got one that gives me great results and was able to get...

Yes, this website is basically my hub and I want to keep growing it in the long-run, so I'm afraid that blackhat techniques might get me penalized in the long run. Not sure how likely it is, but I'd rather be safe. So what you're saying is, to write high-quality content, but instead of simply...

So, I'm pretty new to link building. I got a site that gets some decent traffic, but that's pretty much only from one high-quality article in a low competition niche. The rest of my stuff can't seem to rise in any way without getting some links. I spend quite a bit of time reaching out to other...

Been a while since my last update on here. Still doing what I'm doing. I've written some okay stories, but nothing that stood out too much. As for writing I focused on a very long series (novel-lenght actually) that I want to post online at some point in time. The first draft is done, but it...

Hey there people on BHW, today I come to you to ask for help. As some of you might know and as my username suggests, I'm a writer, namely a fiction writer. I've got a journey about growing my following and making it as a writer going, but that's a long game, a really long one. Due to the...

I'm a writer, I'm posting my stories on Reddit's various fiction subreddits. So it's mostly high quality content.

Thanks man! Glad I could help you out a bit! It's a tough grind still, but I guess that's art / writing for you. Still gonna keep going and grinding on.

Well it's been a while. I was quite busy in real life, finishing up a qualifications course in business management. With exams coming up there and the crazy busy Christmas period at my job, I kind of forgot about this whole thread. Well, what have I been doing? Apart from writing, not too much...

Update 06/08/2019 Here goes another monthly update. Not much to report unfortunately. Social Media keeps going as before. I'm mostly focusing on writing my #vss tweet sized stories. Still waiting for it to really take off, but I'm starting to see my numbers increase a bit. Not follower wise...

Thank you! As for featuring, the podcast always shares the Social Media and Blogs links of the people whose stories are featured. In general though, they are absolutely huge and I don't think they generally do shout-outs. I do shout-outs for other writers in my niche occasionally and many have...

Update 02/07/2019 Time for another monthly update. In terms of social Media I did the same things I used to. Posting lots of content on Instagram and Twitter and massfollowing people on Tumblr. Still not getting a lot of engagement on Instagram, might have to try with different hashtags again...

Thanks! Not earning a whole lot with this yet. Most of my income comes from podcast submissions and YouTube narrators, but it's nothing regularly yet. In my best month this year I earned about $300, but there are other months in which I don't really earn a thing. I hope that by the end of this...

Thanks! Yeah on the subs I'm active on you can only promote your site via text links. To be honest it isn't too bad. Guess it's because I'm only posting in subs that are specifically related to my genre. My most successful story so far had about 3.5k upvotes and landed me about 2k visitors to...

Been a while since I updated this. Mai was another quiet month for me. There isn't much to talk about. I wrote only a handful of stories in Mai, but none of them was too successful. The best one reached about 250 upvotes, the rest is below. Most of my time this month was spent on working on my...
