How do I get others to join my Yahoo group ?

Question

I just started this group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/modelbuilderssupportgroup/

as a way to get information and techniques about model building. I really don't want to spam other groups.

Answer 1

Sign your site up for a webring

Answer 2

You can also post the link to the group on your personal website if you have one as well as in the signature line of your e-mail program for when you send out letters to friends.

As for other groups, just contact the owner via the owner address which will look something like this: [e-mail] to ask for permission to post the link on their site to let others know about the group.

Answer 3

Set up your own marketing campaign, made to measure to your needs and budget. Possible actions to take that should cost you no - or hardly any - money at all include:

1. do an e-mailing to anyone you know that might be interested in the same subject to make them aware of your group,what it stands for and how they can join it

2. add an automatic signature to all your outgoing e-mails with the name and address of the group

3. advertise your group on other sites that focus on the same target audience

4. publish your group in blogs devoted to the subject

5. If you contribute on forums about the subject, put the link in your forum signature.

Basically, look out for any opportunity you see to put the name and address of your group out in the public eye!
