Tips on how to boost your Steam submissions Here!
    (former Greenligh Tips:)
  • Be sure the Thumbnail looks brilliant in all sizes and attracts the propper audience (Animated Gifs have to have a certain standard to work, I got it to work after keeping the kbs down (round 70kb) and telling PS to dispose the frames (rightclick on the frame in the timeline-> dispose)...)

  • Be polite in the comments section, open to suggestions, and appreciative of support helps.

  • Have your own website for your games/projects that you can promote and a place for people to visit for more info.

  • Have a blog that you can post updates and such about your projects.

  • Be active on some Community message-forums related to your type/genre of game (of course don't "spam" or break any rules of a forum).

  • Make your Steam-Profile Public so people can view it and on your profile include links to your website/blog/etc... It's also another place you can mention some comments about your projects and such.

  • On your Greenlight page, in the voting area, there's an option to post about your submission to Facebook, Digg, Reddit, Twitter (you can copy one of the the link-urls and paste it into a regular browser if it doesn't work directly from the Steam-client).

  • Reply to some of the comments on your Greenlight pages (obvious trolling / insults / swearing type comments I usually just delete though), let people know you are receptive and friendly to them and welcome their feedback and/or support. Even "negatitve" comments can give you a chance to reply to any criticism or concerns, explain your side of things to clear-the-air a bit or to address some misunderstandings. Even when replying to negative comments, try to have your replies thoughtful, friendly and civil though (don't get into arguments with trolls).

  • Demos are AWESOME
    If you have a playable demo that can make a HUGE difference.

  • OUTSIDE MARKETING!
    Most important, once you have settled in and feel comfortable with your game and the tools provided by Steam. Go out and market your game to drive trafic to your page!
