Server Advertising
Posted: Sun Nov 06, 2011 2:04 am
Well I was on the other kreatious forum today (kreatious.com) and I noticed that on our old forums we had accumulated over the 7 months before the split 1688 users. That is a fairly large number, and I know some of these users may have made multiple accounts, or just made an account with a single post to appeal a ban, but when I look at our current kreatious minecraft forum we have now (kreatious.net) I notice we only have 129 registered users...
What I'm getting at here is that in order to sustain the 60 slot servers we have been used to playing on before, we need around $300 per month which Is a decent amount of money when your average donation is anywhere between $10-$20.
In order to keep the server running we need to start accumulating new players again who will hopefully at some point or another take that next step and donate.
The Simplest way of doing this is forum advertising. I know some of you have started up your own youtube channels to promote the server and help recruit new players but that isn't enough, and nobody has near enough subscribers yet to make their channel a viable solution (Nothing negative meant, I still encourage people with youtube channels to keep doing what they are doing). What we need to have is a team of people who will each have a forum thread, or two, which will be located on high trafic websites, for example; The official minecrat forums. By doing this hopefully we can start to experience that constant influx of new players we would see each day in the past and take the stress off of our current donaters.
Please leave a reply with your thoughts on this, and if you would like to suggest a high traffic website, or volunter to be a part of the advertising team leave your username with some reasons why you should be chosen.
(Keep in mind this is only an idea I had, but the more perspective on it we can get the better.)

. It will probably be best if we have a youtube channel with high amount of views.
