No XD. I would suggest checking out the shop directory for advertisement

Like? It would have to be personalized… Is there something you would like me to look at?

Like how to get people to order things. I have 96 views but nobody has ordered anything.

If there's anything I'd like you to look at it would be my shop.

Views are never an indicator of how popular a forum or shop is. You get a view every time you view or someone else views the page so you could just spam the refresh button and get an extra 500 views… it doesn't really matter.

You can't really get anyone to order anything. You can't force them… although you could try to get a catchier title (by adding different text symbols), making your front page much more appealing by formatting it with BBcode, adding a banner and so on.

You'll always have competition so nothing is 100% but these things should be sure to help

I ned to know- i am new to the whole ‘Shopping’ idea of Scratch and have a few questions.

-How do I join another Scratcher to help run a shop?
-Do you have to pay real money when making a purchase in a shop?
-What does it mean by Forum Shop?
Thanks if you can answer these Qs

These are going to require lengthy answers, give me a little bit of time

-You don't have to create a shop with someone else, you can create one yourself. If you choose to have a partner, you can pick anybody on Scratch you want!
-No no no no no! Many people create a shop for the sake of running a shop, it's volunteer work. Some people charge follows, love, favorites, but these are more rare and less popular.
-A forum shop is, well, a shop in the forums! This is the forum now. Go to the requests form, click new topic in the top right corner, and type whatever you want to say about your shop. Make sure to explain what you do, examples, how to order, etc.

Question what does a shop do? How do you make one? And by shop do you mean the goods are needing to be paid for?

In a shop you can sell logos, sounds, scripts, voice acting, art and much more! To make a shop, you can open a new acount, make a studio for it or (most commonly) you can open up a topic in the forums and have people order the goods there. No, you don't have to sell the goods for money (if you have any idea how to do that, I don't) you can do a trade and barter system (a favor for a foavor), or you can just make it free.

Why do people bump topics?

So that they appear on the front of the forum, making them easy to find and access

! The special thing about stickied topics is that they don't need to be bumped
