Re: Why cant i get attentoin on my projects?

Going on the Show and Tell section of the forums is a really great place to get publicity, advertising for specific projects there is good, putting your projects in galleries (your own or other people's), adding lots of tags to your projects, and making friends are all really good ways of getting publicity.

Making game projects is also a good idea, people really like games a lot and will probably want to look at yours.

Show and tell is actually kinda terrible, I got 10 views in total from it.

But, it's a less time consuming activity to get more views.  wink  Another way is to get more friends and post your projects in related galleries.  big_smile

Re: Why cant i get attentoin on my projects?

Have you tried the tips in this topic? It might help you.  smile

If all Scratchers were famous, there would be no such thing as fame - keep that in mind  wink  Only a small amount of Scratchers get famous anyway, so don't feel too bad if you don't get famous.  smile

Another thing you can do is find some of your friends outside Scratch and have them come on. That way more Scratchers know you even if they already did.  wink  Also, try holding a contest or make a remix. Remixes are popular nowadays, and you can get comments from whole new people if you hold a contest, or enter an official scratch contest.  big_smile

Re: Why cant i get attentoin on my projects?

If you ask me, it`s pretty much all luck. If you make enough good projects, chances are one day, one of them will get noticed. But that will mean a LOT of good projects.


Try my latest game, Rolling 2, a 10-level platform game based around the gravity marble.
