My game without spending robux? I only have 24 robux, and that's not enough for advertising.

Advertising should always be the last thing you think about in the process of game development. No amount of robux spent, or advertising of any form, will be able to compensate for the lack of essential game mechanics that not only draw people to the game, and keep people in the server for a substantial period of time, but make people want to return to the game over and over again. Once all of these mechanics are refined is the best time to begin an advertising campaign.
I recommend researching on the Roblox Wiki (wiki.roblox.com) for more in-depth information about all of this, but the most important thing is to have a game that's fun. If people aren't having fun playing your game, they probably aren't going to play it again. Once the game is fun for a wide variety of people, then it's important to focus on more specific aspects to keep people coming back. What these aspects are will vary depending on what kind of game it is. For example, RPGs keep people coming back by the continual opportunity for level advancement, which improves your abilities and unlocks new areas to be explored and new game elements to be experienced. In addition, it is essential that every aspect of your game's page: its title, picture and video thumbnails, description, and the descriptions for any and all gamepasses attached to the game, are fully refined and designed to make people want to play the game based on what they see.
Once you're ready to advertise, there are many ways you can do that without robux. You can invite your friends to play the game, you can link to the game in your profile's blurb and status, you can promote it on social media and ask your friends to do the same, and you can use any groups you own or participate in to advertise your game as well.
Ideally, though, you should make sure to monetize your game, which is a whole discussion in and of itself. In summary, you should utilize any monetization options available that fit the nature of your game, such as game passes, gear commissions, paid access, VIP servers, and carefully engineered and placed in-game developer products to encourage people to spend money on your game without being obtrusive about it or annoying them, which would have a negative impact on the user's experience and run the risk of decreasing your game's popularity. Then you can advertise your game using banner ads and through sponsoring your game as well.
You can read more about all of this here: https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/203313420
As a footnote, I recommend using promotional links whenever you link to anything on Roblox. It's a good way to help pick up some extra robux you could use to advertise your game. https://www.roblox.com/my/money.aspx#/#Promotion_tab |

@pres;
Well there was a 13 minute difference between the original post and the first post [SCS's Post] I think someone with knowledge could write that in 13 minutes.
But with that said, SCS is a moderator, and I DOUBT he browses the forums in his mean time.
I also doubt he gets paid to write 4 paragraph+ responses to a thread.

@jonhy456
I wrote it just now and it took me about 13 minutes. I'm on the forum team and part of my job is to post on the forum. I've always liked posting on the forum anyway and always did even when I was on a different moderation team in the past that mainly handled other things. |

I didn't even actually know there were "teams." I thought all mods just picked up their hammers and smashed the non-abiders.
