Scratch isn't about fame

Sure, it isn't about fame, but everybody wants a decent amount of people to look at their projects.

How to become famous on Scatch


If you are looking through the New Scratchers section, you are probably new to scratch, and don't have a lot of followers.
Well I would like to help all of you guys by sharing some tips to help you gain more followers and more projects on the front page.


The following are a list of tips to help you!


Have a good identity:

The first thing people will notice about you are your username and your icon. You want to have a original username and a nice icon. When it comes to usernames, you want it to not include numbers, or a random sequence of letters because, what looks better?

Tigerguy537 or AlphaAxle?

It might take a while to come up with a good username, but i can tell you it's worth it! You also want your icon to not be random and have it represent you. Think of your icon as a logo, a logo for the company of your account, you want this logo to look cool, but also want it to be professional and represent you. If you are on the forums, this also includes your signature! You also want to be cool and represent you!

Once you take these two things into effect, more people will notice you! This then leads to more views, loves, faves, and even followers!

Look professional:

On all your project you want to look professional.
Like the username and logo, the first thing people will see of your project is the thumbnail, keep in mind that what ever is showing last when you save will be the thumbnail, so make sure it looks awesome!

You also want to take extra time to make everything look neat and professional.
Don't use the default font, It's to plain, try to find a different font that looks better, or, do what I do! I use cooltext.com for lots of my graphical needs, they have special font and text effects to make any project cooler!

Don't Spam:

No really, nothing is really more annoying then when someone spams about an unrelated project on your profile or a project.
When you spam, it instantly ruins your reputation
This also includes the follow4follow thing, just don't it is REALLY annoying

Be Active

It never ceases to amaze me how many user expect just to sit back, do nothing, and gain followers. I can tell you this is not how it works.

You have to be active.

Try to check your messages when you can, and try to respond to them, this shows that you don't care about how many followers you have, but you care about each and every follower

Work Hard

This is the second most important tip I can give to you

Always try to make each and every project you can make the best you can do, even if it's your best isn't that great, because you will get better. Try to set a standard to the quality of your projects, and challenge yourself to put as much as you can into that project, and then try even more.

No matter how good you are, you can always do better

Build into Others

This is the last and most important tip I can give to you

Scratch is a community, not a website, not a program, a community. And in a community we help each other. We help them when they need help and they help us. So my final tip is to find others and help them grow, build into them and guide them and help each other out. They might be a stranger, or our best friend, or that on quiet kid at your school, help them if their confused or don't know to do something. And if you are lost just ask for help, I can tell you that their are many people on scratch, including me, who would be happy to help you. Once you are a part of the community you will find many people that you are friend with, even if you don't know them in real life. And once you build into others, as I am building into you, you will discover that the number of followers, is not as important as number of friends

Thank you for reading some of the tips I can give you!
Hope that I was able to help you
If you need any help or have any questions, feel free to ask
