So I registered and did my profile, that was easy, Name: yeah, Age: tell the truth! paborito Movies, Books, Hobbies and so on, Select A User Icon: yes I can do that, Submit, bista sa tagiliran Complete, easy? no it was like: 'what now?' I didn't know how to tagahanga people or even where to start, help, how do you tagahanga someone and what's a spot and how do I sumali and WTF?
But eventually after searching Fanpop 'every day' I had a few people tagahanga me and I fanned them back (thanks aholic, you were my first fan) I joined a few spots and picked on some tagahanga pick questions, I even had a go at a few pop iksamen questions, then I checked out the spots that I'd joined, I saved some videos, larawan etc. and rated and nagkomento on everything that I liked.
Then I found the section that says 'Create New Spot' (or club, as they are called now) okay, I'll create a spot, once I clicked on it I was stuck, 'Spot Name' what do I call it, even worse, what do I do with it? I didn't have a clue, so I called it 'Fantasy Wallpapers' a spot that I could put anything on, then I selected a banner and a crappy icon and just left it there, I went back to it the susunod araw because I hated the icon (which was another version of my users icon) and I hated the name, I wanted the spot to have a bit of everything in it, so I changed the icon, kept the banner and renamed it 'Bits And Pieces.'
At first it was hard to get fans, any fans, not even 'one' fan! and some people bagged it, because it was just another 'random' spot, 'no it's not, it's a spot I made' and it's the only one I had, and at that point I actually considered leaving Fanpop, then I thought why, for what? I didn't know that I'd made a walang tiyak na layunin spot, I didn't even know what a walang tiyak na layunin spot was! still no fans, and I continued to add heaps of content to my one 'little' spot, note to self: keep contributing to 'my' spot and save, rate and comment on material in other spots, oh and add some content to those as well, I started Pagsulat a few artikulo and getting involved in forums, and still no fans.
So I kept adding content to that spot, I made it, I liked it, and the content kept building, what! one fan, then two, 'Bits And Pieces' has over thirty fans now, and I've got a medal for being a dedicated fan.
Since then I've made eleven madami spots, (I think that's enough) I pag-ibig making tagahanga pick questions, pop iksamen tanong are okay, Pagsulat articles, adding larawan and getting involved as much as I can, I now 'finally' know how to include bidyo (thanks again Cammie) and I added my own link, 'by mistake!' (and thanks to Sazza, for doing my first link)
'Bits And Pieces' was a great learning experience for me, it taught me how to be creative and I would never give it up, even though there were some suggestions to take it down and start again, no way! and if Fanpop hadn't agreed to that spot, it would be gone sa pamamagitan ng now.
So if you're new and you've just created your first spot, stick with it, and add as much content as you can, people asong babae too much about things they don't like, even if plenty of other people do like it.
Maybe there should be a 'Mind Your Own Business' spot, I'm serious and if someone makes it, I'll sumali and add as much content as possible, so enjoy your spots, whatever they are, don't give up on something 'you' started, and always continue to have fun on Fanpop.
