BEFORE YOU PUBLISH ANYTHING, READ THIS FIRST!
Tips, tricks, clichés, and cheats on how to build up your stories and maximize your potential.
Don't get discouraged. This book covers info I wish I had known when I first joined Wattpad.
You've done it. All the blood, sweat, and tears you have poured into your writing has gained some popularity, however, how are you going to continue to grow from here? It's time to look into some unconventional ways of expanding your audience.
One way to do this is to appeal to readers in a foreign tongue. Why just appeal to readers in your native language, when the world is filled will millions more people that would be delighted to read your work. Most books are adapted, like the one pictured below, into other languages by publishers and you can do the same with a little help. It might not the best choice, but Google Translator can be a great place to start. I personally would find help from Wattpad's own community. The Story Services page is a great place to find help with everything from editing to translating.

Another way to reach a new audience is to create an audiobook. Let's be honest, many people would like to read but just don't have the time. By putting your work into an audiobook format it can appeal to people it wouldn't otherwise. Like YouTube user, Maxwell Young, who just recorded themselves reading the book and posted it online. By doing this simple act, the user was able to get an additional 200,000 reads and still growing.
I have recently learned there are my other places that writers can post their creations like fanfiction.net, quotev, and many others that can be found using a google search. By posting on these sites you can reach a new audience that might not be familiar with Wattpad.
