Example of a quest announcement on Twitter
With your quest completed, released, and tested, it’s now time to start driving potential participants to the quest page. To do this, Galxe generally recommends casting a wide net — make an announcement through every active channel you maintain, and work with your existing networks to help spread the news of your quest. Some methods you’ll want to consider are the following:

Getting your quest trending on Galxe Quest
Trending section on Galxe Quest’s Explore Page
If you’ve ever had a look at one of Galxe Quest’s trending sections, you’ll note that which quests are trending is not merely a matter of numbers: the top trending quests are often not the ones with the most participants. This is because, in addition to participation numbers, Galxe’s trending algorithms also take into account the amount of time that a quest has been live, as well as the Galxe Space Tier of the quest’s host. In short, the quest that has the highest chance of trending will be one which has more participants in the first days of the quest, and whose host Space has reached Rewards Hub Level 4.
If you would like your quest to trend on the Galxe Quest platform, it is essential that you drive participation early in the quest period. Trending on Galxe Quest is a big accomplishment, and is a way of attracting the entire Galxe community to your quest.

Example of quest participant engagement on Twitter
In addition to making your initial announcements, Galxe also recommends you engage with your quest participants throughout your quest period. Engaging on a personal level with quest participants has two benefits. First, the participants with whom you engage will feel a sense of recognition and appreciation for their efforts, encouraging them to participate in more of your quests in the future. Second, for those members of your community who have yet to participate in your quest, seeing the engagement through public channels serves as a reminder to participate in your quest, and keeps the quest fresh on everyone’s mind during the quest period.
To engage with your participants during the quest period, you may consider the following methods:

Once your quest period has finished, or even during your quest period, you may want to check your participation data. As admin of your Galxe Space, you will find this data available for download directly through the quest page, as shown in the recording above.
At Galxe, we find that the most successful spaces are those which grow their participation numbers over time through consistent engagement with their communities, and which set their expectations for participation accordingly. For more advice on this topic, we suggest you check out our Best Practices blog: Managing Expectations for Galxe Space Growth & Quest Participation.
