Hey Chukwuebuka. Don't worry - Quirky is not a sham. But we do get hundreds of idea submissions per week. We can't realistically give feedback to all of them, so it is possible for some ideas to expire without much attention. We ask you to take a look at the comments you received from other community members, and consider them. Also, take care to check out the comparable products that users have posted on your submission. These factors can sometimes explain why Quirky didn't choose to give your idea a closer look. Ultimately, it's up to you to whether or not you'd like to resubmit your idea.

Rob,

You really didn't answer his initial question, which was:

"How do i get people to view and vote my idea on Quirky."

  You are most welcome. I don't know why Rob closed this thread out with "Answered" when he didn't answer it.
  
  At any rate - here are a couple places you can post your ideas:
  
  Quirky Inventors on Facebook;
  
  Quirky Community on Facebook;
  
  QuirkyTwits on Twitter;
  
  Quirky on Facebook.
  
  The Pimping Zone on Quirky.
  
  Hope that helps.

  Hey guys. My bad for marking this as answered when it clearly wasn't. The short answer is - if your idea is amazing, people will notice it and vote on it. But I realize things may not be that simple with so many ideas out there. Kat's suggestions are great. There are other resources that the community has set up that will support exposure of your idea. It's up to you to seize those opportunities and figure out how they will benefit you.

  Thanks Vicky. I'm sure there was ample documentation of the party. I'll ask the media guys just to make sure. If they're going to post that stuff, it'll go up this week.

Their are several reasons I think why people may not vote for a product
(Others may correct me if I am wrong)

#1. Their may be too many product ideas watering down submissions.
#2. No image or poor image
#3. Unclear heading statement
#4. Product is something people know is already available
#5. Product is too small of a niche for people to care about
#6. Too many similar products on the market.
#7. It's a crappy idea.

How to get people to notice...

#1. Point people to your entry on blogs, facebook, tumblr, etc.
#2. Email everyone you can and see if they will help.
#3. Come up with something a huge slice of the population wants that no one makes at all. (Not even having similar products---Like how many designs for an extension cord do we really need or care about)
