How do I become popular?

I have no idea how to get popular! Any suggestions? If you want you can tell me how I can improve my projects. (to see how well I am at doing projects click on my name)

Re: How do I become popular?

Scratch is for learning to program.
It is not for popularity.

This is also a duplicate topic.

Re: How do I become popular?

Hi 15matwal! Becoming "famous" doesn't really matter, in my opinion. Scratch is about learning how to program, and having fun while you're at it.
If you do wish to become more well known, you should advertise some of your projects in the Show and Tell forum. Also, linking in your signature is a big help too.
I saw you reviewed some Scratch projects. Did you contact the creators and tell them something like "I reviewed their project ___. Would you like to check it out? (link to project)"

Re: How do I become popular?

It does matter to me. I know the reason Scratch was created, but the reson I use Scratch is because I'm not allowed to have an account on yoyo games, youtube or anything! Scratch is my way of sharing with the world, and I cannot do that without being known.

Thanks for advice though!  smile

Popularity isn't everything.

Re: How do I become popular?

But if you hadn't read what I said above what you posted, If I am not well known/recieved than I would have no way of sharing the stuff I believe in unless I would be face to face with people.

Re: How do I become popular?

Sorry everyone. I was up at like 11 o' clock doing this. I was a bit grumpy that my projects were infamous and stuff. I guess being popular isn't everything.

Please don't necropost. Necroposting is bringing up a very old topic.

Necroposting is when you comment on a forum which is old and irrelevent, I think  hmm

Like if you post a comment on a topic which discuses why you can't hide variables through script when that problem has been resolved

Re: How do I become popular?

The way you become famous is that you keep on scratchin' and improving your skill. You'll also have to be very active on the forums and elsewhere. From there, you friend scratcher and they friend you. Then if one of your friends becomes a curator, you're project will probably get curated! That is close to what happened to me.

Anyway, I hope that I helped!

Re: How do I become popular?

I'm not saying i'm popular or anything, but i did just recently get a whole lot of views. And i wasn't even trying! But anyway, here's what you do. Make a whole bunch of accounts.
Use only about 2. But make sure to post on all of them. The one you use least most is the one that will become famous. If you post projects less often, people will begin to notice you, and cherish every moment your on.  Which means allot more views and comments on your projects.  Also, you should make yourself exclusive. Which means, only friend people you know in real, or famous. Soon,  people will ASK you to friend them! And lastly, have a routine. Only post projects say every day, or every week or month. And you need to have an "on" time. Where your only on to comment and chat for a certain amount of time. I post projects everyday at midnight, and i'm on 11:00am-12:00pm. And that's basically how u do it.  Oh! and a bonus point: put on lots of popular tags. Even if the project is'nt about it. Use tags like, Animation, art, mario, minecraft, warriors, cats, dragons, Ya know. All that popular stuff everybody's talking about. And also rember: FRIEND POPULAR PEOPLE! That's about it.  Thx for reading!

So to sum it up,

1) Make loads of accounts, but use just two and forget about the rest
2) The one you use least will be more popular than the one you use most
3) The more projects you post the less famous you get, since you'll get noticed more by not uploading as many projects
4) You can get famous by uploading just one project per month
5) Add spam tags about anything and everything
6) Now you're famous

...Seems legit

Re: How do I become popular?

I'de Say you were already Popular judging by your Status in the Forums but if you want your games to get more likes and comments and become more popular then all I can suggest is to Make more Games! That is what I am currently doing and I tell you it is working! I Just got from 'New Scratcher' To 'Scratcher' Yey!  big_smile
