How can i promote my games

I have tried to promote my games for 2-3 years, and nothing helped. I was making short videos where I show what have I done on my place, and shorts videos are having like 500-600 views. for less amount of time, I tried to promote a remake, because old game was made very terribly. 4 shorts videos, 500 views on each video, NO visitors. I thought my place will get at least 20 visits, not a ZERO!

So, I have a question:
Is tik-tok better than YT shorts? I get more views from YT, despite it being blocked in Russia and some people had lost an access to it, and my tik-toks never had more views than 200, even in 2 years(that was before i started to make places). What can I do? Which video genres are more engaging as for you?

P.S. do not try to play any of my games, they are made badly(pretty good for ru-segment of roadblocks) because I am russian too and i wanted to have russian audience, now it has no use i guess. I am not trying to spread hate…

From experience, I can definitely say that Tiktok is much better for getting views and gaining traction on roblox content for developers starting out, people share videos more with friends on TikTok it’s usually quicker to get people doing that too. YT Shorts however, have a much wider audience of primarily younger children which means that you tend to get more players in your game than on TikTok. To clarify, these wont be very massive numbers unless you plan to advertise your videos.

TL;DR

Tiktok, will usually get you more views and shares, you just gotta know how to crack it. YT Shorts will most likely get you more players in your game, but arguably not by a lot and its very hard to breakout on YT Shorts, so you might want to consider advertising if u can.

I think the place you promote your projects can vary on how well they do based on your target audience.

It also depends on what kind of game you are making.

If you’re focus is Russians, try promoting your game(s) on websites they use more, or something like that.

I could say more, but certain specifics might help.

i am also planning on promoting my game the same way. but here is what im going to do:

  • edits: edits r rly cool
  • skits: those funny stuff where u just go over someone elses audio
  • i plan on animating with roblox rigs for it (maybe be my game mascot if i have one)

however and i wont be using some text to speech at the end for it. Instead bring subconscious awareness where i would do the skits and edits in game and not exactly say abt my gam,e.
i would perhaps some key element in my game reoccurring. for example there are throwing cars in my game. so at the end of every skit I plan on everyone just violently run over. not ina gory sense but in a silly sense. just try to be human. if you wanna grow on tiktok then make videos like theres. u cant just do devlogs and hope it will work out. u need to go to through the extra mile.

NOTE

i havent tried any of this but just some options. not at all guaranteed to work.

devlogs are just what has failed in my advertisement campaign

Dev logs will mostly attract developers not players. Do something player based. Make ur content matching with the audience ur trying to communicate to
