So I've been on so for around 5 moths now and as I'm going around, I see all these other people on sp for 5 months getting 50 upvotes on their builds when I can only get 2 or 3. I spend hours on these builds and some are actually quality builds, but I don't get upvotes. Can someone plz tell me how to get more upvotes on these builds

    @ChiChiWerx Now that's sound advice :)

    @GrahamSimmons very true, followers generally produce more upvotes. That comes from excitement, which comes from quality postings. Here, let me adjust my advice: Build more, don't necessarily post them all, but build more to get better. Then post your best creations, upvotes will follow. I will also say, don't fret about upvotes. If you like and enjoy your creations, that's the best reward you can get from your creations!

    @ChiChiWerx I agree. While the argument could be made for quality vs quantity, in reality posting a lot of low-quality work isn't really gonna cut it from what I've seen of the SimplePlanes ranking system. If you want consistent upvotes, you need followers. Lots of designs with very few upvotes will not get you the level of exposure you need to benefit from this system because you just won't pick up any followers!

    @GrahamSimmons yes, perhaps not. I will concede that some low point builders (@Aught, you, others) will come out of nowhere to post some awesome creation, but I will bet those people have been building without posting for awhile. However, for Theman19 here, I looked at his posts and he needs to refine his work, which comes with experience, before he's going to get major upvotes, plus his highest point creations are mods of other builders, which already garnered their share of upvotes for their originators. Just what I see here.

    @ChiChiWerx I don't think it's necessarily true that upvotes come with numbers. It's been my experience that you don't need many creations to get quite a few.

    Upload builds between 2 and 4 in the afternoon.

    You don't build enough, upvotes come with number of creations, not time in the community. More creations = Better creations = upvotes (small number at first), leads to followers, leads to more upvotes. Don't fret, it took many creations before I got any significant notice, but I have probably have posted 3x the number of creations you've posted.
