Attraction to a Topic

[Reid]

So I have made multiple events before in which only I have attended and then I see topics with tons of people signing up. What can I do to get more people to sign up?

The good ol’ KJFK/KLAX/EGLL flyout never fails.

[Aero]

Make it a unique airport that hardly no one ever flys to, but is popular in the real world, eg LIRF or WMKK

@Altaria55

KJFK/KLAX/EGLL

Ew. This is too much.

[Altaria55]

I’m actually making an event for LIRF right now lol

Ain’t nobody allowed to steal my idea.

[Captain_Merka]

Try making a video for your flyout maybe. Something unique like this never fails. You could go off of a real life event such as @George_Flack’s Raid Area 51 in IF event.

[Altaria55]

That was @George_Flack

[Aero]

Oh sorry 😂

[Captain_Merka]

My B! Flack Finick same thing lol

[Altaria55]

Here’s an event as an example.

[84 attending][Partnered with NonStop Virtual] Huge Frankfurt fly-out | After a succesfull first fly-out | @EDDF 041900ZJAN20

[image] Huge EDDF fly-out EDDF, better known as Frankfurt International Airport, is the largest airport in Germany and the fourth largest airport in Europe carrying over 65 million passengers in 2018. With Lufthansa’s main base in Frankfurt it’s also used a lot for connecting long haul flights. Why an EDDF fly-out? A few weeks ago, I made an IFC message with some polls for my next event. You guys voted a stunning 23 percent on Frankfurt airport. Event info Date and time - 2020-…

It should be nicely formatted, not jumbled up, easy to read.

[Captain_Finck]

I was about to say wait a minute. Thanks @Altaria55! 😂

[Altaria55]

But are “Captain” and “George” though

[Captain_Merka]

I just knew he had a last name similar to Finck

[Sashaz55]

Many people go to KLAX, right? That’s why I made a Flyout at KSAN, people know it but it’s not as popular as KSAN, I made it have a good varied airlines and routes, and it worked!

Over 50 attending! - [FINISHED] [Sponsored by Frontier Virtual and Plane And Pilot] - Let’s fill up San Diego - @KSAN 291530ZJUN19

[image] [image] After my last event was a success I have made a new one in San Diego let’s fill up San Diego! Why KSAN? San Diego International is a great airport with a high diversity of short hauls and long hauls you can fly to so many place but it is not that busy so let’s fill it up!

It also comes down to variety of routes and airlines that fly there.
If I were to choose between say a Midway and O’Hare flyout, I would probably choose the ORD one because of the variety there.
The only exception would be for truly stunning airports where the airport and the scenery was more of the focus.

So I have made multiple events before in which only I have attended and then I see topics with tons of people signing up. What can I do to get more people to sign up?

In the first case I would review what was different between your event and other events. This can be simple things like the time of day, airports, type of route and flight etc as well as harder things such as presention (pictures on the post) etc.

In the early days of live I used to run a lot of events, these where mainly on routes that I was going to fly anyway at a time of day suitble for me. Alwayys managed to get a lot of people attending. However these days I dont host so many, mainly due to personal life which is more limited as well as a lot of events are a lot more “multi media” in their advertising shich again I dont have time (or all of the skills) needed to make work! Am just here to fly these days!
