hey, your friendly neighborhood skinmaker here, mrpanties with some helpful tips on how to make a popular, front page skin! even though ive never acjieved this goal i certainly have picked up info on the way there!
1.your skin needs upvotes!
your skin needs to be liked among ALL of planet minecraft! subscribers do help to have, but aren't vital!

2. Your skin MUST have good comments, like "you rock!" not "you suck!"
well, no duh, if no one likes it then it shouldnt be up there. anyway, the more good comments the better!

3. DONT BOTHER A MODERATOR ABOUT IT! they will remove it or ignore you :P
they have more important things to do then promote peoples skins :P

4. this is the tricky category!
you must make something everyone knows, but not something everyone does! i know, the teens always get put up there, even if the suck or have all down votes! but everyone can relate to them, so make something everyone can relate to!

thanks for looking at this guys, i hope you got something out of it! i hope you enjoyed this and good luck on your skins everyone! byebye! :)
