How do I get more views on Scratch?

I am struggling to get views on Scratch,

I've made a project (This- https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/915604930/) but it is not getting any views, I have added it to like 100 studios (Please respond)

My advice is to be active in the Scratch website. If you post lots of comments and join studios, more people will look at your profile, and some of those people will see your projects.

I also recommend not caring about popularity too much, since it doesn't really matter.

This isn't really the right place to ask.

This is probably a good place to ask, it's a question about scratch after all.

In general, I wouldn't recommend saying that this isn't the right place to ask unless you have an alternative place to ask that you can link to in your post.

This is the right place - don't worry about it

How do I get more views on Scratch?

Make projects for the Scratch Design Studio. Projects will be randomly chosen to appear on the front page, and it's almost guaranteed that yours will be shown at least a few times. Make sure it has a really good thumbnail, because everyone who visits Scratch will see it on the front page, and a good thumbnail makes people want to check our your project. It's a super easy way to get hundreds or even thousands of views.

other general tips:

  • Make high-quality projects on a regular basis. If you post inconsistently, you're not going to get a dedicated following.
  • Be super active in the community- help on the forums, comment on a bunch of projects, etc. (Also, if you're active on the forums, milk the heck out of your signature! It's one of the few places you can advertise as much as you want, so take advantage of that xD)
  • Make good thumbnails. You can have the best game ever, but nobody's going to click on it if the thumbnail looks like this:

  • Graphics matter a LOT. If you're like me and can't draw, get someone to do your graphics for you, or find them on sites like opengameart. Music also adds a lot to a project. You can use normal songs, or find special game music (opengameart also has music).


this was pretty long- hope it helped at least a bit, and gl
