Answer 7

before creating the group, think of key words so it'll be found easier. the thing with any group, is there as to be an interest in the topic to gain members- I did a turtle group search and there's 1256. maybe scroll and get an idea of some key words.

once you have the group- use the promote tab and copy the code to other sites you may have- create free web hosting sites with same key words and add the code to it. add the group to craigs list-
