i finally figured out how to use this website thanks to some guidance from a member named RichardBard.  The top tips he sared is:

• I need to upload at least 10,000 words to appear in searches.  I had uploaded my first 3 chapers which came to 9,750.  Thanks to this top tip, I added chapter 4 and now people are reading and backing my story.

• Adding a book to your watchlist doesn't boost their ratings.  They need to at least feature on your shelf.  this involves rotating your faves so they all get points and supporting people who have backed you. 

• People who have gathered lots of points for backing popular stories get a higher status and therefore reward with triple points.

I am feeling really positive now.  Since last night I am on someones bookshelf and on a few watchlists.  i have recieved a positive comment from someone who has read it.  I think I will definitely keep visiting this site.

It's also really enlightening to be able to view the other peoples work that they are sending for publication.  I wish I had more time to read them as there are some really interesting blubs.
