BettaCraft at

Most people have covered it already. Advertise on multiple websites (I won't re-site them as they were sited multiple times), have a quality server, update your posts, most importantly PLAY FOR FUN!

Another good way is advertising using sites like project wonderful

Word of mouth, posting in the server section here, voting sites and ect.

In order to advertise effectively you must show your potential players in less then 30 seconds what you have to offer for your server.

Best of luck!

Ok this is another test to see if my banner signature is working.

This is actually a test to see if my signatue works

put somthing in sig..

The best way to advertise is to bump your server on Planet Minecraft... lol

www.minecraftserverfinder.com is also good

Kagari, I saw that you could make banners. Please make me one for my server

Its called iron eagle so If it is possible, but an Iron eagle on one side and on the other, i will send you a picture if you agree to do it for me.

Thanks

I have also found that if you go to http://minecraftviewer.com and put in the info (no need for signing up) it will create an auto updating banner for you in only around 5 easy steps. You have to enable-query or something like that in properties for it to work. I believe you can customize the background but it's neat. When you're done copy and paste link into a forum. That is just a cool banner. I'll show you mine (if it works on this)


If it worked then now you know. As of now it should say 0 peole are online because a plugin crashed my server (hungergames) and i'm not home to fix it . Later on if it still updates (which it probably will if it even worked) it should say more then 0 people on lol. My server usually only has like 5 people on. Idk what i'm doing wrong. Help appreciated btw if you decide to help.

Currently writing a ebook, gotten so far 7 pages, I can tell you when I am done

1st step
Make your server have quality. Don't aim for donations, aim for the fun!

2nd step
Advertise here:
http://www.minecraftforum.net
http://www.planetminecraft.com
http://www.kingsofminecraft.com
http://www.minecrafterforum.tk (new)
http://www.minecraft.dk (very awesome, got me most users)
http://www.nosblog.tk (my blog, you can advertise there)
http://www.minestatus.net
http://www.minecraftservers.net
http://www.mcserverlist.net

3rd step
Make a banner (I can make you one, pm me for that) and put it in your forum signature! Try writing as many posts as you can!

4th step
Done!

Also, bump your posts with like "I updated this and that ....". Don't say "bump". In most forums you get banned for it.

Also, check out my vid, I am explaining it there ->

Hope I helped you

word of mouth is the best way to advertise anything. Get your players to get their friends to play on your server. Then get their friends' friends to play. It'll snowball from there. Do a promo that any player who brings a friend gets a treat (a cookie? a diamond? I dunno, just a treat) on the server... That'll get it going.
