Re Filter Promtion

Hi Guys - I have just submitted my first attempted filter creations and much to my surprise had them accepted.

I have read somewhere within the forums that it can help if you promote them yourself - so the question is - How does one go about promoting their filters within the forums and which forum to do it on.

I ask this as i only have 4 more weeks to try and achive reward points.

All help much appreciated - Mikita

I was in your shoes about 9 months ago Mikita when I was so nervous and anxious to get a High Usage. So I tried all the tricks of getting a High Usage filter (HU), but in the end this is what I have found all the filters I promoted the most seemed to actually move the slowest. So my suggestion is this, instead of going for promotion ask for critique, that way you can improve a filter and find out what the public wants and would use and then you also get publicity as it stays a topic of discussion.

With that said, if you are going for HU filters, textures seem to be the bread winner. But my personal advice is go for what you like to do, I made a hamburger filter just because I could and it looked fun and I had a forum member actually offer me some HU points if I didn't get the coveted 5 I wanted. So there are some tricks, I guess, but just have fun and always seek learning.

P.S. Welcom
