Advertising Advice?

[TwistedRain]

Hey all I am looking for advice on the best free advertising methods that could get me more then 5-8 players which I currently have now and I know that it is possible to get a decent pb from server lists I just want to know how and possibly other ways. I am mainly asking this advice from other server owners but if you know anything feel free to comment.

Advertising is almost impossible now without a youtuber backing you or a sponsored slot. Back when Minecraft was like 50x more popular, .org actually had project wonderful. You could get 100 players on a server in 15 minutes for $25. And then .org realized it was shooting itself in the foot lol.

Youtubers are usually a waste of money and no one joins a server on a slot if it's pb is low

not true for the ad. if you get a month long slot, even with a 0 pb you will still end with a good 50 avg. and yes, youtubers are a waste but i wasnt talking about buying like a video or two. the last time that worked for anyone was when zexyzek did the full server troll for prime mc like 2 years ago. youtubers only work if you partner with them, its what made arcadian mc what it is now. the server itself is utter shit, but considering prestonplays's cousin records on it people flow to it.

Slots can be good for unique servers. If you have a Factions, Prison, Skyblock, any of those popular gamemodes you probably will not benefit from slots.

Free won't do any good at this point in mine craft's life.

Agreed Panda, I think he was just asking for free advice however

That was my advise, you can't do anything without money xD

I just add 4 slots then remove 4 slots after an hour from minecraftservers.org, got a 10-30 player base from that after a few days.

Sorry I am confused, what does that exactly mean by adding slots?

 

[Gordo]

The slots that you put your ip in, banner, server name, description etc

So you add your server and then delete it etc..? Interesting, I see how that might work.

It seems like he is on to something, you could technically get traffic because it is on the very last page being only a single click from the front page.

Doesn't seem like a bad idea
