How to attract people to my groups?

Question

I want to be in control, and say who can enter and all that, but I want to publisize my Groups

Answer 1

make sure your group is set to restricted membership so you maintain that entry control- copy one of the HTML codes from the promote tab on your group, and add to to sites that have more hits than a yahoo search might. there's plenty of free web hosting out there that also allow it to be found in search engines.

craigs list also lists groups there too.

bottom suggestion: think outside of yahoo to gain members

Answer 2

There are Yahoo groups designed specifically for owners to promote their groups. Here is a link to one that is very good and has over 6000 members.http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Group...

When people see your message publicizing your group, there will probably be several who actually visit your group and request membership.

Answer 3

Have a look at the link below. The message was posted by a Group owner who has built up many Groups with thousands of members.
