User blog:Fandyllic/Ways to promote your wiki


 * This is a blog post, but it really should be in the main article namespace. Unfortunately, apparently only Wikia staff can create articles there. An improved version may appear at Draft:Ways to promote your wiki at the Help wiki.

What you can do

 * If the subject of your wiki has an official site with forums, you can link to your wiki to answer questions asked about the subject.
 * If you're ambitious and like to do a little video editing, you could make a commercial (like this)!
 * Ask Wikia to promote your site with a Community Central spotlight advertising image and link that will appear on other related wikis. Don't forget to follow the guidelines to qualify for a spotlight.

Information related to promoting your wiki

 * See Community Central's Wikia wikis on external sites for examples of how people are promoting their wikis on Facebook and Twitter.
