This forum doesn't really belong in Requests, it's more of an "All About Scratch" thing, but I'll answer anyway.
The key to getting noticed is to ADVERTISE. Advertise in Show and Tell. When you do this, don't make the title, "Click here!" Name it exactly what your project is about. E.g. If you have a drawing game, a good title would be "Awesome drawing game!" In the post, write a couple of features of the game or project to get people interested. Also, remember to give a link.
You can also ask people to advertise for you. Advertising gets much easier when you're a Scratcher, when you can make a flashy banner linking to your projects in your signature. Malfi, unfortunately you are not a Scratcher so you cannot do this. jooboo899, you are a Scratcher so you can make a signature linking to whatever you want people to see. Go to profile>personality and then you will see a text box that you can enter text in
Even when you are a New Scratcher, there is another great way to get your projects noticed ON THE FRONT PAGE. Get curated. Tell a curator you want a project of yours curated, and link to it. If it's good enough, it will get front-paged!
Not everybody gets famous on Scratch, and that's OK. The whole point of Scratch is to create new things and learn from other people's ideas.

You have grammar and spelling issues.
And you don’t need to be famous, and begging for fame makes you seem like a spoiled brat.
That wasn't helpful at all.
I agree with what fungirl123 said. Advertise, Advertise, Advertise! Either way, the point of Scratch is to let out your creativity in a fun way.

Everyone, remember to be respectful.
This also doesn't belong in Requests, really - this is more for sprite requests, or music requests. If you're asking how you might get famous, this'll fit a bit better in All About Scratch. But don't worry - I'll put it there for you.
That being said, this index of topics has a couple great posts which explain how you might go about getting more famous.

I don't know what is with fame and why everybody on Scratch (Well, almost everybody..) wants it - Scratch is for the fun of creating projects and sharing them with your friends and with people around the world. It's not for being better than everyone else. Everybody is good in their own way.
Anyhow, if you so admire fame, then I guess I could tell you a few tips. First of all, make sure your specific project has a good thumbnail, people will probably actually click it if the thumbnail image looks interesting and cool to them. I know I do. xD
Also, try getting to know a few people. They will probably spread the word if they like your projects a lot. Its a slow process, but you'll eventually get to around 70-80 views. Just takes time and experience.
Hope this helped!

Scratch isn't about fame. If I'm honest, I don't think my projects get the views they deserve, but you don't see me moaning about it. I didn't join Scratch to he famous, I joined so I could have fun helping people, and welcoming new members! Becoming famous should be a bonus, the important thing is making friends with other members of the Scratch community!
You could advertise in the 'Show and tell' forum, but remember: be honest about your project. Don't go saying how it's the best project of the year etc. if you know it's not. Also, as you're a Scratcher, you could advertise it in your signature! Just go to: 'Profile>personality' and then at the bottom of the page, there'll be a box. Write something like 'Check out my best project!' and link it to it! Of course, you need to post a lot for people to actually see your signatures.
EDIT: Woah I did not realise how long that was until now! O:

Oh dear, I thought the aspiration for fame was dead...

Here's a list of things to do to become famous:
•Become a scratcher. To do this, stay active on the forum & the main site.
•Use good grammar. Let's face it. No one wants to see a kindergartner post.
•Once again, stay active. Post projects often, & post frequently, but only when necessary. This means no spam.
•Speaking of which, be polite. Don't spam,troll, or say rude things.
•Advertise. People enjoy varieties of projects, so advertising would make that happen, & make you more well known. Just don't advertise every single thing you want people to see.
•And to make a long story short, be yourself! Trying to fit in can only happen naturally! Besides, someone will accept you for who you are!
I hope this helped!

Nobody really needs to be famous. It just sort of... happens. You never know when you'll get famous, and you might not even know if you're famous for a while.
The following errors need to be corrected before the message can be posted:
-At least 180 seconds have to pass between posts. Please wait a little while and try posting again.
Urrgh... I wish I was logged into my other account.

Fame is a mystery. It falls upon people for various reasons. It requires lots patience. Fame depends on your personality and friendship.
- If you don't have a good personality, you will never be famous for good reasons.
- If you aren't good with friends, or making friends, thats a huge drop in your chance of becoming famous.
I am not saying you aren't anything above, I am just giving you tips

remember alot of the best scratch projects go unnoticed the point is not to get fustrated many of my projects have very few views and few love-its but i take this as a compliment that people like my stuff enough to view and love
Offline
Fame isn't the point, the point is having fun coding
Anyway, I went to your page, and noticed add your self projects
yeah uh
I don't want to come off as mean or anything
but people tend to avoid those
you might want to put them on a different account or something
you can't expect fame instantly, it looks like you're pretty new
