How to get Attention?

I've advertised everywhere for this project, and nobody is coming.
How do I get people to vote on my thing?

EDIT: I am NOT trying to get likes and favorites or anything like that, I just need to get votes so that I don't fail 4th grade.

How to get Attention?

I think it's likely down to the fact that for most users your project isn't interesting. This isn't really anything you can change, it's just that the scratch demographic prefer different things.

Stop spamming and invest the time you gain in your projects.

Exactly!

Plus, something I've learned in the past is, try to not make only projects that you like, but also projects that you think the community would like / be interested in.

Many people can be turned away from advertising (unless advertised the proper way) so that could be why.

I'd say stop advertising and just focus on the quality of the project, that's what matters most.

I didn't advertise on people's projects, I just advertised on MY profile, my studios, the Show and Tell area, and the Things I'm Making and Creating area.

Still, advertising doesn't always work. I rarely advertise, but when I do, I ask for feedback, ask for things to improve / suggestions and see what I could've done better. The more you improve and learn, the better quality your projects will be. Thus, you won't need to advertise as much to get noticed.

Erm… can you explain how you'd fail 4th grade with some project? Sorry, I'm always a bit skeptical of these. Not to sound rude aaaaaaa

Well, maybe people don't look at your profile or studios all that much, so that could be another reason why. Try adding your project to more popular studios that it would fit in is all I can say.
