Let yourself be found
Instead of telling you make a website and spend a fortune on advertising it on google or so, I will be giving a few little tips on how you'll be more likely found by new customers.

Classifieds
Classifieds is the most common way to attract new customers, and you have to make the most out of it. Have a look at what your bots are advertising on classifieds, How easy is it to spot them while mixed with other bots? how many cards are you managing to advertise in the classifieds? What cards and values are you advertising on classifieds?

These will be key factors in the number of new customers you will make. Do not focus too much on advertising cards that are worth under 1 Event ticket. This is because its highly unlikely that someone wont use their regular bot; that sells the card for 0.2; to you use your bot that sells it for 0.192.

Make sure you advertise the most popular and traded cards. A good example of this are the standard staples (such as Boros Reckoner). You can achieve this by using the CFA (cardsforadvertisement) or using the right commands in the classifieds, which in my case, I use commands such as #BUY_GTC_>5_1digit#. Which leads to my next tip, using the command _1digit makes it not just cleaner on classifieds (displaying 7.1 instead of 7.112, for example) but will also likely free up space for one more card in your classifieds message. 

Avoid using symbols that take a long command, such as  [sArrGameplayU] for an arrow,  as these will count on your character limit and will easily reduce the number of cards you can advertise.

Other methods to get yourself found will involve direct contact with new players and "inviting" them into using your bots, website or clan. Using streams or sponsoring other streams and events can also help getting your name out there.   Some of these will be covered in the future parts of this guide.
