Dear Writer,

The Golden Badge Writer status is a special recognition on Pratilipi. Once you receive the Golden Badge, you can write your series directly under the Premium category and start earning through your stories.

You can also enroll your existing series under the Premium program if they have 15 or more parts. This gives your stories a better chance to earn from readers who unlock and continue reading them.

Here are some simple ways to earn more as a Golden Badge Writer on Pratilipi.

1. Write Long-Form Series

If you want to earn on Pratilipi, long-form series are very important.

Poetry and short stories may be beautiful, but earning opportunities are stronger for long-running series. Try to write series with 60 or more parts, as long stories give readers more chapters to unlock and more reasons to stay connected.

2. Encourage Readers to Subscribe

When you write a long and engaging series, you can gently request your readers to subscribe and read the locked chapters.

There are two main subscription options:

Superfan Subscription:
Readers can subscribe directly to their favourite writer. As an author, you receive Pratilipi Coins for every Superfan subscription. Superfans can unlock your locked chapters and access your chatroom.

Premium Subscription:
This is an app-wide subscription where readers can unlock premium stories across Pratilipi. As an author, you earn Pratilipi Coins based on how many times Premium subscribers read your locked chapters.

3. Participate in Golden Badge Competitions

Pratilipi organizes exclusive writing competitions for Golden Badge authors.

Participating in these competitions can help you gain more visibility, attract new readers, and grow your writing journey on the platform.

4. Build the Habit of Writing Longer Series

Start with a series of 30 chapters, then try writing 40 chapters, and slowly aim for more.

This habit will help you build the discipline needed to write 60+ chapter series, just like popular authors who earn well through long-form storytelling.

5. Focus on One Long Series Instead of Many Short Ones

Instead of writing two or three short series, focus on one strong long-form series.

Choose themes that attract more readers, such as:

• Romance, relationships, family drama, suspense, revenge, marriage, office romance, or college romance

• Horror, family drama, suspense, ghosts, vampires, old secrets, or mysterious creatures

• Crime thriller, murder mystery, investigation, revenge, or serial-killer stories

A focused long series has a better chance of building reader loyalty and earning consistently.

6. Aim for at Least 50 Reviews

Reviews help your story gain trust and attract more readers.

Encourage your readers to rate and review your series. Try to get at least 50 genuine reviews, as this can improve your story’s visibility inside the app.

7. Interact With Your Readers

Readers feel happy when authors respond to them.

Reply to reviews, messages, and comments. You can also post a short thank-you note to appreciate their support. When readers feel valued, they are more likely to continue reading and supporting your stories.

8. Stay Active on Pratilipi

Use Pratilipi features like Posts, Reviews, Messages, and Chatrooms to stay connected with your readers.

Regular interaction improves your visibility and helps you build a stronger reader base over time.

Final Message

Golden Badge gives you a strong opportunity to grow as an author on Pratilipi. But your success depends on long-form writing, regular publishing, reader connection, and consistent effort.

Write longer series, keep your readers engaged, and make full use of the Premium opportunities available to you.

Best wishes,
Team Pratilipi
