Hey everybody. I'm new here and have been lurking most of my afternoon. I'm coming in here with an already completed book looking for some feedback. I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions on how I should post it. Should I upload it a piece at a time, day by day, or just blast it all up in one day to try and stir curiosity? I'm open to suggestions on how to approach it.

Hi. Congrats! My two cents. Try posting it on a chapter basis regularly. Reader feedback will prove very helpful. Just be ready for brickbats and weird comments from some readers. But that's part of the game.

But real reader feedback will help you polish ýour work.

What kind of feedback? Feedback on how to post it?
If so, I suggest once a day (maybe around the clock for the first few posts first to give several timezones a chance to see it).

Feedback on the story itself? Well, I'd have to read it :P

Thanks for the tip guys. I'm looking for some feedback on the story itself haha. Currently waiting on getting it approved. Here's to hoping I can make a few people fall in love with it. :)

Good luck!

Whatever you do, do not throw everything out in one shot. There are many new stories on RRL and if you do that, your story will just get swamped by the newer stuff. Good luck!

And in the forum, you have the right to "promote your novel" at least once. I suggest doing that AFTER you have a bit of traction. meaning that if you follow the advice here and publish once a day, maybe within a week or two you promote your novel in the forum.

Some authors made the mistake of posting their novels in the forum "Promote your Novel" when you are only 2-3 chapters in. Marketing in RRL means stretching your visibility. 

Of course, at the end of the day, quality still wins over quantity. So even if you finish your novel, you still have to do the nasty: Edit, edit, and more edit!

Good luck and keep writing!

I think it is a better idea to post two chapters / week.

It guarantees that you'll spend more time on the 'Recently updated' page and more people will be visually attracted to your novel.

The key here is getting in the Trending Area, where you should get to after a month or so.

(it's really good. Check it out!)

Thanks for the advice everyone and thanks for the promotion Media!
