Chairleg Productions presents: 'Console Wars' and 'Games as Art?' (also on Halo Waypoint).
Here is a list of tips to have a successful group. I'm quite new to this but over the last couple of days i have learnt an awful lot.
Tips:
1) Make sure your group has a good reason to exist or will be a sure hit with people. (there are too many groups that have no idea what their group is for.
2) make sure you fully set up your group site. (Make sure you are confident with group settings etc. also, custom security roles are often a good idea).
[color=red]3) Always advertise your group in the 'Group Directory' thread here.[/color]
4) Get your friends involved. You can rely on friends to become members and to get you members.
5) Make sure your name is memorable. Memorable, not so weird that no one could possibly remember it.
6) Try to do something different. Lots of groups all are for the same reason. Try to think of a way in which you can make your group different to others.
7) If your group is only for a clan, TELL PEOPLE! There are too many groups that don't do this.
8) If your group recieves a probation notice, don't just give up. Try your hardest to get more members!
9) Always be friendly. No one likes an evil dictator. (apart from other evil dicators).
10) Once you get members don't neglect them. Make sure you personaly try to post in your forum.
11)(optional) Sign the Guest book and get members to do that aswell. I find it very sad that group founders neglect that part of the site.
12) Try to team up with other groups. Linked groups often have a large amount of members.
13) Have fun.
Ok. that is it at the moment. I'll add more if i think of anything.
Please post any other tips you would give.
If you are having problems getting members, join my group (see link in signature).
