SP Explained
How to stand out in a sea of builds
One of the hardest things to do on the SP website is staying relevant. From just trying to get out of newest to staying on the front page, failing to remain visible is an almost guaranteed death for any post. It’s important to use all the tools at your advantage in order to stay relevant and to maximize your upvotes.
Presentation
When uploading a build to the site, it’s important to remember that the SP website is a competitive market where the only way to succeed is to get people to click on your build instead of someone else. After all, once someone finds a build they like, they tend to download it and try it out, costing you precious time in hottest, newest, and the front page.
There are only three things that separate your build from everyone else:
-Thumbnail
-Title
-Who posted
Thumbnail
Thumbnail is obviously the most important. It’s what grabs the attention of those scrolling and encourages them to click on your build.
