Have Friends in High Places? Use Their Viral Power
Calling on an influencer is a great way to thrust your work into the spotlight. Have them post about your project, and you’ll get your People’s Lovie campaign in front of a huge audience.

Take Advantage of Dynamic Shares
Ask your audience to share their votes to Facebook and X (formerly twitter): We have share buttons embedded so that they can easily post their support once they cast their votes. Plus, the posts automatically let everyone know what your rank is. It’s a great way to spread the news if you’re winning, and a very helpful call to action to your fans if you’re not.
GIFs Are the Best Part of the Internet
Nothing makes a post stand out like a well-placed GIF. Doctor Who Fan Show does it well with this post:
