Re: How do you get famous??????

I dunno. I've been on here for 2 years, and a lot of users have heard of me, but I'm not famous.

Advertise your projects in the "Show and tell" forum.
Give your projects tags that describe them.

Re: How do you get famous??????

This community is full of bias - There's a shocker. I think it relies more on luck than skill to become famous.

Re: How do you get famous??????

Yeah I think a lot of luck is involved.  I've been on the site for 2 or 3 years, and it wasn't until a month or two ago since I've considered myself actually famous.

Re: How do you get famous??????

Back when I joined it was based on skill and how good your projects were programming-wise.

Now...it just seems to be based on how many friends you have and how pretty your projects look, I guess (and with some famous Scratchers they don't even look pretty). And luck, of course.

Re: How do you get famous??????

I have seen many projects from many famous people (explodingcheez, o8jackt, etc.) on the front page as most viewed, most loved, most remixed.  There is usually at least one of them on the front page!  I'm not famous, but I would love to be.

Wrong! That almost never works.

Try getting featured, spamming projects, having a posting day, making friends who recommend projects to get featured ask me for the loophole where you can directly link to the love-it button.

Re: How do you get famous??????

I think being famous is luck. I've been featured twice and I still don't know if I'm even well known or famous for that matter.

Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

I mean there IS bias, but surprisingly most of it is towards those who are already famous. You can become famous from sheer skill, but recently it's been almost always luck.

Re: How do you get famous??????

A lot of the active Scratchers are well known anyway, whether or not they make the best projects  smile .

But I think if you go looking for Scratch Fame and ask everybody to like you, it doesn't really seem to work as much.

I don't really consider myself that famous on here anyway x)

Re: How do you get famous??????

Here's what worked for me:

Make half decent projects REGULARLY. Upload and get front paged and then while that project is front paged, upload another project so that people will notice that too. Keep repeating the process until it doesn't matter how active you are, you can keep gettin' a tone of views.

But really, there's no short cut. I've been here since 2007, and only just started getting recognised in late 2009. But I never complained, while you're complaining now after 3 months.

Create a Project thats totally Different from the other projects .. with a good theme ..
do the experimentation with the code to get Jaw Dropped comments and btw work hard to get to the top cuz the tops toooooooooooooooooooooooooo pointed and only some can stand there so in order to get there u needa push some1 off there ...
