How do people get so many views?

I just can't fathom how many projects get hundreds of views. They are only up in the "newest projects" section for a minute or so before other projects come in, so they only get 2 to 3 views there.
Even if the person posts here in show and tell, their topic probably only gets about 20 views, which about only 25% of those people actually look at the person's project.
Is it even possible?!
Some projects I spend 5 or more hours on get no more than about 6 views
What's your strategy?

Re: How do people get so many views?

Once you get a sig at 50 posts, you can post a link for your projects there. That's one way for adverisement.

Hope that helped!  wink

Re: How do people get so many views?

Some people are just popular.... that is, they have a large fan base that regularly checks their Stuff page for new projects. ^^

Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>

Re: How do people get so many views?

it took me over a year to work up to scratch bash 3, 8 months just for the one game (but that was on and off)  in total around 14 months 2 weeks for the entire scratch bash series. (other than the one coming out soon)

Re: How do people get so many views?

Sometimes Galleries help get a lot of views. I added a simple project I made called Sheered to this gallery that was on "Recentley Changed", and It got 24 views even though it hade a major glitch (until I fixed it, and by the way, nobody said anything about it  hmm ). That just goes to show the power of galleries
