This includes getting more fav's, comments, and watchers. Just use one of the following techniques, or all of them if you're into it:


1- EMO technique: let other deviants sympathize with you by checking your page daily to make sure you haven't committed suicide.

Steps:
- Put a picture of you crying, cutting your wrist, or eating your own flesh as a sign of unworthiness and self destruction.
- Write more than 10 journals telling people that you're closing your account because you aren't getting enough attention.
- Tell people you've got a deadly disease, suffering from social drama, lost your eyeglasses and now your dog is helping you surf the internet.



2- Popular deviants technique: this is also called the parasite or the leech technique.

Steps:
- After finding a very popular artist, constantly send shouts in their shoutbox, with lots of icons to drag attention.
- Stare at their status, once they appear online, wait for them to submit a new deviation or a journal entry. Once they do, make sure you get to post the first comment, even if you're going to blab nonsense, just do it.
- Argue with them, criticize their pictures, even if the only photography experience you have is taking pictures of yourself with your cellphone. This will make you look like a wise ass, let other people volunteer and reply to your comments, and eventually visiting your page to see how qualified you are. Then BUMMER!



3- Basic instinct technique: in this technique, you will be totally eliminating the human mind.

Steps:
- Take pictures of a nude girl in any position. Quality of the picture doesn't matter at all. Even if you were taking a picture of your daughter, go for it, daddy.
- Take sexual pictures of people with various orientations. Straight, homosexual, bisexual, undecided, or all of the above.
- Pictures of luscious lips sucking on candy, giving the space for the viewer's imagination to wander.



4- Silly trick technique: you got to be very creative to come up with one of these.

Steps:
- Try navigating away from your page and then back to it so that each view counts. This doesn't always work with the refresh button.
- Include a link in your signature letting other people think it's something interesting, once they click, BAM, it's a link to your page.
- Check the emoticons that start with dev, then create an account with the remaining letters. Like the person who made an account called iantart, so that when you try putting the : deviantart : icon, this will redirect you to his page.



5- Cliché technique: take the safe side and do what everyone else is doing.

Steps:
- Grab a pencil and draw Sasuke (167,406 search results for Sasuke), Naruto (559,250 search results for Naruto), or Jack Sparrow (25,916 search results for jack sparrow).
- Make dark pictures with gothic girls in black dresses on the seashore, let bats soar in the horizon and strike her with thunder.
- Take any picture that has been done a lot. Whether it was a feather with water droplets, two hands making a heart shape, piercing your tongue with needles, a heart shape with your book pages, etc… you're free to use anything you like.


Unfortunately, these annoying techniques actually DO WORK.
