Getting Things Done

What do I want?

This is an important question to ask yourself. What point is your ad trying to get across? Here are some thoughts we don't want others to think when they see your ad:

• He/She spent less than 5 minutes on that. Ugh.
• He/She doesn't know how to spell or use correct grammar.
• He/She lol'd.

Here are some questions to ask about your ad:

• Is it more professional than everything on the page?
• Is it going to hurt someone's eyes with bright colors?
• Why would people ignore this?

HI

That ad looks good. Can I use it?

No. Don't use other people's ads. Be original with your work and don't copy ideas. People like it when you make content that's never been seen before. And maybe, one day you'll be famous for it.

BUT THAT 1 GETS A BILLION CLICKS!!!1

No.

Finishing up

Be sure that every single detail is completed and finished. Check your work and make sure you are happy with your ad. Don't upload the ad until you are finished. If you notice a error later, it can be too late.

FAQ

Those image editors?

That's where you'll do the gritty work. A good editor will give you plenty of options and results.

What's the difference between banners/box ads/skyscrapers?

The box ad can only be displayed on "My Roblox". The Skyscraper can be seen everywhere, excluding the Forum. The banner ad can be seen everywhere on the website. None are displayed here on the wiki.
