Hi there, everyone. So, I was looking through novels in Scribble Hub, and well, I found some novels that surprised me.....
not by content, or something like that, but by the number of views. Like, imagine seeing a novel with more than 25K words, but with less than 500 views, or a novel with more than 50K words, but less than a thousand views... it's shocking.
I mean, even I, and I am not that great, but I had close to 1500 views in my first weeks of publishing, with only a few chapters. let alone those guys that get 1000 views daily, so how come some novel can't reach that number in months, right? well, I checked, and the only thing I can think of is the title, yes THE TITLE, because all the novels that I found suffering from the low view count, all of them had a title made of One, only one word, with some exception, adding a three-word description after the title.
so what do you think? is it really the title's fault? is changing the title really a possible solution? do a title really have such a strong effect? is the cover and synopsis truly meaningless if the title is bad? or is it simply that some people have truly bad luck? Which of them?
