One 511 Report post Posted February 19, 2012 Ok, so i see a few members make a clan recruitment topic, but see that it doesn't attract must attention. I hope this topic contains a few tips on how to make it more appealing to members and maybe get some more attention. 1. Make sure your clan name is appealing and easy to remember, but not taken. While it may not seem like it, a name means a lot, so take time with it and think, instead of rushing in with it. Do not make it : a long clan name, something difficult or irritating to remember. Just look at popular clans today, many with 4 or 5 letter clan names. OpTic, DRFT, FEAR, Instinct, all easy to remember. And please do check your clan name isn't taken, because it shows how much effort you have really put into your clan. 2. Be committed to your clan When you want to start a clan it normally means you want a team to play with and have fun,but being in a clan needs commitment and work. You cannot be a half arsed person and think your clan will just start up and bloom. As the leader of the clan you need to be dedicated and put time into what you have started, effort is required for it to work, and you have to show that somehow. Maybe have trials or a quick matcg with people who are interested in joining. Just something to show you aren't just blindly adding people for reduced effort. 3. Specify your clan type. Are you making a clan for fun, competitive play, achievement boosting or whatever? The specify it when introducing your clan, that way you make sure that you are getting the members you want and they are getting something out of the clan. Currently too tired to finish this off or improve it, but i hope this at least helps some of you new clan leaders start up. Will finish later. 17 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FeNDaaR v 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2012 Most clans that are here are not dedicated which is why they don't attract much attention. Check the crimson ravens post for an example on how you should do your recruitment post. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishy 2,307 Report post Posted July 7, 2012 there are a lot of clans with the same initials, like my clan had the same initials but completely different names. so I added an extra letter. I think you should keep that in mind as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nym 146 1 Report post Posted September 8, 2012 Another thing people should consider is their recruitment message. I have been in two clans and done most of the recruitment for both and the one thing I see alot of is a HUGEWALLOFTEXT.JPG This puts people off. Just put the key points people should know, the rest they can be told once you have their attention. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
