How to get players on your server

So basically, I've seen many server owners suffering from a player shortage. So i thought of making a tutorial on How to Get or Help you guys to get a better player base on your server.

The first important things which your server must contain is -
• A unique or A stabled Script
• Dedicated Staff
• Clear concept on what's your server is based on
• 24/7 online server
• Know what players want

A unique or A stabled Script
Getting a unique or a stabled script might be hard to script or get but the main reason of your player shortage is lacking of a unique/stabled/smooth script.

Dedicated Staff
Having a A group of Dedicated Staff on different time zone's is quite important as it helps your server to be maintained from Hackers/Server-Advertisor's etc...


How to get A Dedicated Staff(s)?
There are alot of ways to get a couple of good staff(s) one and the best way is to post it on
SA-MP Forums > SA-MP Server > Server Support > Looking for scripters/helpers?

You'd be surprised.

Success will never be proportional to player count.
If you aim to get players you can easily find out what everyone loves today and give them what they want.
Everything at only one simple cost, and that is integrity.
You'll just get a bunch of people that are ready to stab each other in the back for profit.

Success in this world is proportional to game play experience.
That means you'll get players harder, but you will be able to build a strong community on which the server can rely on.

Thats true!

Actually you missed advertising your server in other servers
Atleast works when you are low at players but your script is good!
