Where to advertise???

« on: August 21, 2007, 03:39:28 PM »

As I start feeling that enough of my game is nearing completion to begin gathering players, I realise I don't really know how to attract the right audience.

Where do you find people who like to play online text-based RPGs Huh

Yeah, advertising for a game, especially if it can't exactly be described in one line is pretty rough. We just did a test for Gambro putting up banners on TWG and actually did bring in a nice flow of players.

For now, paying to put banners on game voting sites seems to be the logical step.

We made some flyers and left them at San Diego Comicon, but I don't think we got ANYONE signed up from that. Realworld advertising just does not translate to someone going home and typing in a web address.

Yeah, I was thinking pay per click ads on a few topsites will probably do the trick.

Also, never use flyers. Stickers are persistent advertisements, also you can hand them out to people without them even knowing it
