Here is my short comic, Topic Tips!  
I see a lot of users have simple titles for their topics, but you have to realize that without an algorithm guiding this forum, titles are the **#1** thing driving clicks! _(Your PFP also plays a role, but much smaller)_

This tutorial is based mostly on other topic’s i’ve seen where this method works. It is very well mastered by @Sarge and @PixelDoodle such as here:  
[🍬 Weekly topic™: Forum members’ favorite candy](https://forum.makecode.com/t/weekly-topic-forum-members-favorite-candy/21301)  
[Voxel Edge (Devlog & Demo) ⚔](https://forum.makecode.com/t/voxel-edge-devlog-demo/17687)

The written form is up top as the image is admittedly hard to read 😅 It was made on the back of some math homework with highlighters and pens, then photographed, cropped, and edited to have better colors! The final image TOTALLY destroyed the orange in nthe image for some reason- it’s all turned yellow. Here is the original image, with only slight edits to brighten it to where the white parts are white again:

I guess you can use a alternative strat which I have been using for awhile. it is to first come up with an original topic or use a preexisting one, make it a joke to attract more views, be (comedic ally) confusing, and a canonical shameless advertisement.

I don’t know if that screenshot does it justice… You are #56! Sorry to say there are quite a few above you at the moment.  
(Plus it seems your rival Coneguy is #33…)  
(Hold on am I really #4!? Wow, I thought I was much less popular.)

@goldtopaz You should really not feel bad about being semi-popular.  
I am too and well  
look at the chart

Somehow both of us have posted more than @MakeCode  
Which is pretty confusing.
