Hello! My name is Maria (aka World-of-me) and I am now blogging on this website! Guess you could call me a new( even though I happened to trying to make a blog post for the past month now. :/) girl.
Have you ever had a popular club? Have you ever had one that your
passionate about? Have you ever gotten bored of your famous club? Have you ever stopped be active on that club and then regretted it because of the result?
The surprise is, that I am willing to help you.
How? Well by writing down this post and showing you what to do!
Now, your probably wondering, what am I going to help you with. I'm helping you with restarting your used-to-be popular club that's now a graveyard...of things. ( did I creep you out? I hope didn't/did. :3)
So, first off is...
Check your members. If you used to have a popular club, your most likely to have a bunch of members still in the club because they were to lazy to click on your club name and wait until it finally loaded so they can click the magical 'Leave' button that will erase any traces of you there...forever. (Except for the sceneries you did...but I hope you get what I'm saying)
Back to the members. If you checked the club members section and still see a healthy number ( number of club members is usually the verdict for joining your club or not. If you have a high number, about fifty members or more, people are most likely to join. All you need is a presentation in tip-top shape. However, once they see the in activeness they'll unjoin. ) you have one more thing to do.
Go to your most recent member that joined and check how much time ago he/she joined. It's possible you will see it saying 'a week ago' and if it does, your in the clear. Why? Because if the newly joined member see how recently the member joined, he might stay hopeful if he saw it saying "a week ago" or more recent. It's okay if you don't.
Second Off is...
Discussions. I suggest making more important discussion's first. For example, make your Tips,Help and Inspiration discussion, about 3 games and perhaps two creative discussions. For example, how about a fashion/book review topic? Or a topic that will promote activeness by doing things like styling specific dolls and then if that person is good and you like it, giving her/him gifts and placing her/him on your presentation!
When your done doing those discussions, make the most important one: The discussion where you apologize. I think it's important for your members to know the truth. After all, it's probably not their fault that the club became inactive. I mean, everything always needs a leader. For example, there would be no Stardoll without the people that work the game! This is not fully necessary, but I recomend writing/explaining about your inactivness.
According To These Points, You Could Write Your Apology:
1. First make your name of the apology discussion clear. Like, 'Read this: My Apology'.
2. Then write that your sorry. After all, it IS a apology.
3. Now write out why your sorry. Why did you stop being inactive? Why did you choose to start this club again? These are just some of the point you could write about. Members deserve the truth.
4. Last of all, introduce some new things in the club. Members like have new things in clubs. Helps fuel the excitement! For example, you can introduce a new Club News Weekly topic! Or role playing!
Third Off is...
Your club presentation! If you haven't changed your old presentation...about time! I guess this signals a sign of your club changing...for the better! Change your presentation completely including what you wrote! Before that though, copy-paste the whole presentation to somewhere you can access it. This is for when your rewriting your presentation and doing a new format, you can look at your old one and maybe add to your new one the paragraph about the history of your club.
Another thing, is format. I suggest visiting the user E-mazingPages and she has instructions on her presentation how to use the various texts and backgrounds her presentation offers. She even has a club specifically for that. Of course, if you have a reliable source on Stardoll where you get your format, you can use that and perhaps comment below who they are so other people can use those peoples format for their club presentation!
You can even add new things to the club presentation! How about a Hall Of Fame? Maybe A Shout out Place? Or, oh! I know! A member count?
It's your choice, so let your creative juice flow!
The final thing is...
Are the details! Each detail is important so always check your club!
Now, right after your done the presentation, make a welcome scenery! Your members need to feel needed and welcome! You could try a pose in your scene if you want too,.
Then, goes your poll! Try sticking to a weekly poll about different things. Like, you can do a Would You Rather question or a typical question set towards improving your club
If you haven't already, pick a spot topic. There should be no more then three spot topics! I suggest picking your apology one first though! ;)
Once your done, you can go invite your members! Advertise in parties,guest books and chat. But NEVER leave a person when your writing in a guestbook WITHOUT a real 5/5. It's a rule to me.
Since your club might have a healthy count of members. Some people might see it and join your club!
I wish you the greatest luck in succeeding with your club!
Thank you for reading,
Maria ( aka World-of-me on Stardoll)
