how to advertise

you can get lots of views advertising, if you do it right.

Step 1:setting a goal

The first step for advertising is setting a goal for your project. If the goal is too high, your project won't reach it. If it's too low, your project will reach it too quickly. To find the goal that is right for you, add all your projects views together add divide by the amount of projects you have and multiply by 3.


Step 2:signatures(if you are a new scratcher, skip this step)

Now, go to profile. Then click personality. you will notice that there is a box for you to type in your signature. Type in the URL of your project and click submit.

example:
I can usually understand my sister. Can you? Find out here

when it says "I can usually understand my sister", that puts curiosity in the speech. why wouldn't he understand his sister?
when it says"Can you?", that makes it a challenge so the reader is interested.
when it says"Find out here ",the reader is already excited and is more likely to click here.

Step 3:Show and tell
now, put a thread in the show and tell forum. Just like the signature only more descriptive.  do NOT talk about the glitches in the project or the reader is less likely to click the link.

step 4:patience
now, wait for the project to get the amount of views you want. this may take 1-2 weeks.

Re: how to advertise

But what sucks is that if you're not that well known, your time for step 4 will mean it won't happen in less than 4 days, so you won't reach the front page...

That's why I never got there in those rows...

but if you keep doing it for all of your projects, you will become well known

If you're not well known, there is no method to the front page other than making great projects.  Given enough time, people will friend you and view your projects, you'll develop a reputation for well-made projects.

Invest time into Scratch, and you will get more popular.  I've been scratching for 2 years, and I've had 3 of my projects on the front page by curation.  I wouldn't say I'm in the top 100 scratchers, but I'm pretty satisfied with this.

advertising is also a good way too
