@BandBC I'm not sure if this will be helpful, but the reads I have on my stories have just built up slowly over time. I don't think there's any magic formula for getting people to read a story. I was very lucky that one of my books was chosen as a featured story, back before they changed the system, and that certainly helped. A finished book also attracts more readers than a work in progress, as many people like to read all the way through rather than waiting for the next chapter to be posted.
The best advice I can give is to be patient, (yes, super hard, I know!) and don't compare your story to anything that's been on Wattpad for years and has had time to build up lots of reads. Try to ignore the numbers and concentrate on writing what you want to write.
