Computer Support Blog

YouTube revolutionized the web when it popularized the idea of user-generated content powering a large social media site.  However, YouTube just supports one medium of user-generated content—video.  Wattpad is a cool product in technology that wants to do what YouTube did for user-created video, but for creative written works instead.  With Wattpad, people upload their stories for popular consumption on the website and mobile app.  Just as YouTube videos are free for the public, so are all works posted by Wattpad members.  Wattpad contains works from many different genres, ranging from crime drama to science fiction to creative nonfiction.  Users can read and react to any story on the site by leaving comments, ratings or marking stories as favorites.  Readers can read stories via the cloud or download the text for offline viewing on the Wattpad mobile application for tablets and smartphones.  Any users who have issues getting their chosen stories to download to their Wattpad library may need mobile tech support for their devices.  Wattpad also keeps track of how many people view a text and download it so writers can see the reach their work has on the service.

Wattpad could have a myriad of uses for both new and established writers.  New writers who are working on developing an audience can post shorter stories on Wattpad to gain a following.  Many people publish serialized stories that come in shorter installments to build an audience the same way a web series on a site like YouTube would.  Once a writer has an established audience on Wattpad, they already have a group to sell longer-form texts such as novels when the time comes.  Established writers can also make good use of Wattpad by releasing teaser material for upcoming projects.  By releasing a sample from a book on Wattpad, or even a related short story, authors can drum up anticipation for a new release the same way a video trailer might for a movie or television show.  Any authors who have difficulty uploading works to Wattpad should consider remote computer support services for assistance.

While Wattpad can be a useful professional tool for writers, it also fun for hobbyists.  Those who write purely for fun can share their work and get reactions from a captive audience using Wattpad.  This cool product even has a section for non-serious works such as fan fiction.
