Promotion

How does basic promotion of works happen?

Cellulose receives traffic from both regular readers and new ones coming through various advertisements. For promoting books on the platform, there are many mechanisms including ratings, collections, search by genres and tags, new releases announcements, search by authors, reviews and feedback, self-presentations in blogs and on the forum.
We recommend regularly publishing continuations to get into new releases, announcing discounts (displayed on the main page), maintaining a blog, giving promo codes to active readers, participating in literary contests, sending interesting news for publication in the publishing house's social networks, etc.
You can also place various types of promotional content through us: post about a book in a group, article with questions and answers about creativity and writing path, video presentation, text interview with the author, book trailers, stories of the book's creation, reviews and self-reviews, announcement of free books, as well as publication of other informational occasions related to the book or the author's personality.

What do you have instead of commercial status, since you have a contract with each author?

We are against authors being forced to perform "dances with a tambourine" to obtain the right to earn money from selling access to their creativity, achieving so-called commercial status in complicated ways. We conclude a contract with each author. More about how to become an author here

But how many of them will read it to the end depends on the quality of the text itself.
