Don't ever offer staff positions as contest prizes. Always hand pick your staff from either close friends or very loyal members of your site. This way you have people that can offer ideas to you, as well as not worrying about people who will kill your site by being rude to other members or abusing their power. Another note is advertising. Alot of boards and sites have advertising sections that allow guests to post ads to your RP there. Have a place on your site for others to advertise, and go forth and get your site known to the masses. Just because you made the site doesn't mean people are automatically going to appear, you have to get them somehow. Don't be rude when you advertise. Make sure you obey the site's rules on advertising. And don't spam. There's nothing worse than giving your site a bad reputation. It’s also a good idea to note to have a good staff.

An RP will be created, but, unfortunately, will flop. While there are many reasons for an RP to fail before it gets off the ground, there are some preventative measures that creators should take right in the intro post. One of these measures is the inclusion of hooks for entry points.
