I know you're probably some kid who can't even write a fizzbuzz program but anyway... why not contribute to an existing project that you use on a daily basis instead of creating your own? Especially the smaller projects would probably be thankful to have another person helping out

Wut is it?

Is it useful? Open/closed source doesn't matter. Do people need it? If the answer is no, are you advertising and shilling it? If no, no shit.

They actually fix bugs, but their English is horrible

This, a useful product will have it's users, regardless of it being free/paid, open/closed source or being marketed at all.

Neat

how can i popularize my open source projects?

This

Open source software which no one uses is a inherently successful, popular closed source software is a failure. The idea of open source is for the benefit of the code itself, metrics of user adaptation or satisfaction are totally irrelevant because the goal is the code.

user from has already star'ed

thanks fren

At least he's not a software pirate.

I maintain a fork that I know at least a few people use.

Shill it on fitting social media sites, wherever the kind of people who would be interested in that kind of software congregate. You know, "network" with people.
I have no idea how to do that either.

At least he doesn't use proprietary software
