10 steps to get upvote and downloads in SP

10.9k bspboy  8.7 years ago

1) Be someone people recognize (participate in forums and post planes often)

2) Take good photos

3) Post when people can look (not midnight on a weekday, noon on a weekend, around when people get back from school or work or wherever they go)

4) Give it color!

5) Get a good name for the plane (not LOL or IDK, be creative!)

6) Put a description

7) Put time and effort in (again, no LOL)

8) Make something people will recognize

9) Help others and be friendly. Usually you will get stuff in return. No one likes a jerk.

10) Have fun. SP is a game!

Also, check out beginning users and give them some upvotes for a head start.

On a seperate note:
Any ideas on what I should build next?
Note: I use iOS

    But at least it has color and a "description". And it at least looks good. @SwagAircrafts

    Tagging your planes helps a bunch. Also i find if i go check out someone elses planes i usually find one i want to download. And i even sometimes upvote without downloading. Just because of inspiration and what not.

    I agree with all the points except number 1, you don't have to be popular already just be willing to communicate and be active in the forums and the game... I guess rather than be popular work on becoming popular would be my replacement for number one...

    Also, I realize this is a bit off topic and may not be the place to discuss it, but I wish that we had fewer lurkers (users who will download many a plane, but never leave comments or upvote). Please don't take this as me complaining about a lack of upvotes because I think my planes are "the bomb" (trying not to curse, kids use this site).

    I do that too. Unless it is a model I have on a shelf. If it isn't real, give it a flashy title that makes people think it is. @MisterMasada

    Number 8 makes me wish I didn't dedicate myself to coming up with planes from scratch, well, mostly scratch. Otherwise good points.
