So, you're on Quotev and you see those amazing writers with loads of followers and fans. You think "Why can't I be like that?" You can be, just follow these steps.

Part 1

Part 1 of 3:

Opening an Account

  1. 1

    Create an account if you don't already have one. Make your password tricky to guess, but easy for you to remember. It has to be over eight characters but make it longer to be safe.

    • Come up with a username to create. It could be a song lyric, your name, something you like, a quote, or anything else. Remember the username policy. There are a few simple rules: no profane/shocking language, or sexual material. Your username is what appears on your stories and next to your forum posts so make sure it sounds good and suits you.
  2. 2

    Pick a URL. The same rules apply, but you cannot stylize on URL. This will be the link to your user page.

Part 2 of 3:

Following and Learning from Others

  1. 1

    Go on a following spree. Follow about 25-30 users but don't ask an account to follow you back, it will seem rude and immature. Most people with something similar to "follow back" in their profile will do so without prompting. There is definitely no guarantee that randomly followed accounts will even want to read your stories or follow you, however, don't let that put you off.

  2. 2

    Find other popular authors and see what aspects make them popular. That way, you'll know what to do to popularize yourself on Quotev. Try to emulate them, but don't copy what they do; you want to be yourself, not a copy of someone popular.

Writing and Sharing

  1. 1

    Start writing material. You can write anything you set your heart to except sexually explicit stories because they are against the site rules and could even get your account banned if you continue writing them.

    • Write what you enjoy writing. If you write about something that you enjoy, your audience will see that, and you'll have a better chance of people liking your writings.
    • Make your writing engaging to the readers. Be sure to know that what you write is real, begin with a statistic that shocks, and make revisions and edits to your writing. Doing these things will grab the reader's attention.
    • Try asking other people for advice on how you can improve your writings. Doing this will help you become a better writer.
  2. 2

    Post some funny/inspiring R.A's. Post one saying that you're new like "Hi, Quotev users! I am (your name) and I love to write! Check out my story!"

  3. 3

    Do not write cliches. Doing this will especially place your story down on the lower list because everyone does them. If you want to become a popular writer come up with something original.

    • Avoid cliches like "I'm pregnant." or "I cheated on you." Or even "They kidnapped me and beat me, but I'm in love with them." Everyone hates reading stories like that because they have been done so many times. It just gets boring actually, so come up with a story about your personality and make it original. Honestly, though, Quotev thrives off clichéd stories. You can be original, or you could churn out the same storyline every twelve-year-old on the site's been using. Sadly the latter will earn more fans, so it really lies in what your priorities are - do you want readers, or to write stories you care about while running the risk of them going unnoticed?
  4. 4

    Share your writings on other sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, and online forums. Sharing your writings outside of Quotev is a good way to attract more readers, and thus will boost your popularity as a Quotev author. Provide a link to your writings so others can read them.

  5. 5

    Be an active updater. Keep updating even if you don't have many readers. Make posts frequently and reply to comments swiftly. Thank your readers often. You definitely shouldn't let your readers control your schedule. Your writing should be a fun hobby, not another assignment. Remind them firmly that you do, in fact, have a life outside of working for them.

    • You can't just disappear for three weeks when you have left a cliffhanger. This is not to say that you can't disappear. Your readers get that you have a personal life. It is just that you have to prepare them first.
  6. 6

    Share your stories in the "Share your story" section in Groups.

    My stories are roughly 1800 words and two chapters each day. Is that too much?

    No, you can write as much as you like. It could be more than some people have the time or will to keep up with, but others might appreciate the steady stream of writing, if they enjoy your writing.

    Click on the icon for your published works, then select the story you want to update. You will get a list of options, including a list all the chapters within the story. Scroll down to where it says, "Add Chapter" and click on it. If you have completed a chapter, click "Publish Changes" in the edit menu, or scroll down to where it says "Publish Chapter."

  • Question

    What if people make fun of me and tell me that my story is terrible?

    How to Become a Popular Author on Quotev: 10 Steps (with Pictures) (13)

    Community Answer

    They are probably just trolls and/or haters who want to get under your skin. However, you might want to recheck your story. Is it too cliche with the typical plot lines listed above? Does it have bad spelling and grammatical errors? Either way, you should ignore anyone who makes fun of your writing.
