As I have been surfing around Scratch with my spare time, I have noticed that some great scratchers out there are not getting the amount of views they deserve. D: Nevertheless, I would like YOU , yes you, to get more in a matter of, well, several days I guess. There are several steps that will allow you to promote up several notches! Yay! Shall we begin?
1.) Galleries
Galleries are pretty helpful. If you want any views, you can add a project with the comment. Simply, just press "add" on the gallery. Some galleries don't allow "add", and in their project notes, they say, "Give me a link to your project." or something similar. THen, post your link. Soon, you will be bound to have at least ten or more views. The views might accumalate slowly but that's okay, right?
2.) Friends
Having a ton of friends will allow them to look at your projects. The more friends, the better.
3.) Don't spam (unless it says you can in project notes, which I hardly doubt it)
Lots of Scratchers hate spam, but some, themselves, are hypocrites. LOL Just don't be one. Teeehee
4.) Be nice:COMMENT
You will get more views if you just be NICE. Mean comments, like "this sucks", is very hurtful to the creator, and nobody benefits from either way. Comment nicely and what to improve, and the creator will friend you and might view your projects. This is here a good example:
" Great project, {username}! It looks awesome game. I love how <this and this>! Maybe, you could {do improvement}. Otherwise, everything else is terrific! Coolio {love-it or favorite?}
.::::::::::Scratch Design Studio:::::::::::::.
Scratch Design Studio is a gallery with a desginated topic for Scratchers to make projects as that topic! It's the FASTEST and EASIEST way to get views! All you have to do is make a link of your project (must be related to topic in the project notes), and then, Lightnin or one of the Scratch team members will look at it, add it to the gallery, and even select as the design studio's front page section! in order to have yours on front page in that section, you must have a pretty decent project, (the ones with more effort usually get chosen) for their creativity, excellent scripting, or etc!
Just make your project good,and perhaps, it will be chosen to be on front page...for a while. Teehee Well, what are you waiting for? Get started now!
*I am not responsible if your project does not get into the gallery for Scratch Desgin Studio, and nor am i obliged to guarantee a satisfying amount of views. Remember, create the project WELL. *
Well, there you have it. Get more views: quick and easy.

Good guide! You might want to consider changing the thread title, though - it sounds like a question topic instead of a guide.

Very helpful stuff! There's a project here that discusses this same issue that you might find useful.

It is meant for people who need more views. I already know this, so it's basically for other users. IT must be the title that people probably misunderstood. XD

(My added part)
5.) Try for a better game. If you are a "New Scratcher", KEEP ON SCRATCHING. Slowly and slowly, your games and/or videos will be better, and more people will see it.
6.) Go for the extreme. If you think you're ready, try a 1S1S,(1 Script 1 Sprite.) or something off the lines of an Epic Fail (with Swifty's permission, of course.)
Well, there you have it. Get more views: quick and easy.

Hey! Grea idea, Hugh! Why didn't I think of that? Anyways, another way to get more views for your project is to make a high quality project. Several you can look at are the ones belonging to the featured selection. These projects show a well dedication of time and quality work.
Remember, quantity doesn't mean good, but quality, my friend, is the key to the road of fame in Scratch. (This also follows the rule in real life, such as schoolwork. ) Trust me.
Happy Scratching!! If you want to, you can just post a link of your project, so I can look at it. One more view. Teehee

That was so HELPFUL!

Not all of them. Some are hated because of how little work was put into them.
