What is the best way to get your RPs seen?

[GSSquared]

I probably just suck really bad but there are a lot of instances when I post stuff and get no replies but others get hundreds in under 5 minutes. Obviously, this may be because my RPs are terrible, but since I hate taking any responsibility, I'm gonna blame it on some all powerful force that hates me. Either way, this is a question for those of you who do get hundreds of replies in under 5 minutes..... How!??!??!?!?!?!

Well, it's unrealistic to expect that. ^^; I don't think I've ever seen that happen.


But the best way to garner interest s through interest checks! That way people who are looking for new RPs see it. Most people don't just browse existing RPs.

Oh I forgot that was a thing. I used that system before the update, but I can't find it now.  If you know where it is that'd be a great help.

It's under "Looking for Players" on the main page. Either make one in looking for one partner or looking for group.

This, basically!

This is for group roleplays, you just put your interest check under the genre your roleplay fits under.

And this is for looking for partners.

Also, it might be nice to drop a link in a status update every now and then. That's how I find a few people for mine.

But also no one follows me so...

But they're still public and even people who aren't following you can see it. It isn't guaranteed to work, but I think it's worth a try. 

 

[GSSquared]

Ok I'll try it thanks!

Just do what some youtubers do: Awesome Prank gone wrong, gone sexy + LeBron James.


Now for the serious answer: Try chatting in threads and eventually get followers. some will join your RPs.

One additional recommendation: I do recommend making an interest check before you actually create the roleplay itself. Then, if there is no interest, you're not still stuck with a roleplay with no people. And then you know you might want to explore a different idea.
