Hello, so I own a server called Elastic Prison with a playerbase of 1-10 and I wondered how would I increase it? The server has lucky blocks and more, the IP is mc.elasticprison.net I also use a SYS-IP-1 from soyoustart.com/ie/essential-servers/. For more info please contact me as I don't know what else to say for this thread. Also my budget for anything is at least $50 depending on what it is. Oh ye also our server has been up since November 2014 but don't worry it was awful we reached 60 players and we had 40 players constantly for sooooo long but one time our server was down for a while then in the summer we had around 25 players but we made a lot of money around 500$+ (I call that a lot of money, sorry if you don't ) but we had more downtime then we still made money like 150$+ with 20 players more downtime 100$ with 15 player then we worked on V3 which is right now.

If you don't have unique features that give players a reason to stay of course they'll leave. Look around on Mc-Market for youtubers. And as I said before trying a paid method make sure your server is amazing.

I don't know how to make it unique custom plugin are custom, but it doesn't change the gameplay, only the plugin. If you mean UNIQUE that would be hard to think of as most of the people took most ideas and inventing new ones could be like 50$+

No, don't look on MC-Market for youtubers lmao. Youtubers for sale mean they are saturated and their content isn't new. You want someone that hasn't done that particular gamemode before or has only recorded on 1-2 servers. First have a sale and get donation money from that, buy ONLY a .org slot, get more money from players that join from that (While sale is going on), then with the money you have left excluding what you need to pay for hosting, buy youtubers that aren't saturated, once this is all done rinse and repeat and keep finding new youtubers and opportunities for .org slots. Once you have an understanding for how .org slots work, you can even rent them out and make some extra cash through that.

Resilience I put up a sale about 2 weeks ago till the 22nd earned $92 from that. My dad currently pays for my server which is $50 so I still have $92 (I hope this isn't too shocking but I'm 11 OMG CALL THE AMBULANCE COS SOMEONE FAINTED) I will try rent a .org slot for an hour from that (know any good renter?) I will put a 40% sale on (I hope that's not too high or too low) then get a youtuber and repeat if it succeeds?
