For those who own chapters here how do you go about your recruitment methods? Do you individualize each invitation or do you have a generic message or what?

You could start with checking out the threads in The Classifieds, that should give you some idea.

I paste a general message describing the group as best I can but I personalise the greeting to the user's name. I usually send invites to people who were actively interested in a thread I (or someone else) made that is relevant to the group. A classifieds ad and a good looking home page for the group.

It's definitely tough trying to recruit people.

Classifieds and casual mentions when it's relevant. I don't join groups I get PMs from for the most part, so I don't want to send out spammy PMs to people for them either.

I know what you mean, chapter invites seem like door to door salesmen in my eyes.

Although the classifieds is made for that exact purpose it is a dead forum.

I'm an Anarchist. I don't need a government to be a good person, but I'm glad it's here because some of you clearly do.

I invite people who I'm sure would be interested, or who have expressed an interest in what the group has to offer. I don't send out PMs*, and I don't make Classified posts.

I regularly encourage group members to invite their friends, but not random people. I want to not have a group with 900 inactive members, and instead would prefer to have a group of 25 active members out of 25 total.


Edit:

* I don't send out PMs on a regular basis to people I don't know.
