Tips For Clubs

  I thought that I'd give some advice on clubs. I think my clubs are pretty successful- or at least my main club. Here are some tips for making your club great, please enjoy! Hope they help! ♥


1: When making the club title, be sure to make sure it's exactly what you want. My club was called: E-mazingstories, but now it's hardly used for that. Just make sure it's what's you want and make sure you spell everything right- that'd be sad if it wasn't.

2: I think the first impression of a club is super important. So make sure that you have everything on the front page filled out. Have a good description, poll, scenery and presentation- plus make sure they are neat and correct.


3: When making a poll, make a good question. Make sure to be clear in your question, give a variety of different answers, and not be racist, mean, nosy, or anything else. 

Here's a couple examples of good polls: 

Here's a couple examples of bad polls:

4: The club description can be super great, just spice up your club! Say if you do contests (mention prizes), say interesting words and be all good- no bad. I'm pretty proud of mine. 

Here's two good descriptions:

Here's two bad descriptions:

5: Another thing that's important is the scenery. Have a great scenery that matches the club. Make it perfect, and if you can't- hold a contest! Look how good this presentation matches the scenery! 

6: Club presentations work like your presentation, just drag and drop. You can look back to my other post about If you have Firefox. If you don't you need it so much! It can do anything- I made the scenery above myself on Word, but you can drag and drop anything on Firefox too! Please try!

7: I suggest club presentations include the owner's name, managers' names, current contests, title and maybe a picture. It makes you look organized and it shows people who haven't joined what they're missing. Just update it. I love my front pages- it's the best part for me... besides discussions. 

8: Discussions! That's where the magic happens. You can hold contests, start games, write stories, give tips and more! Make sure you're always active in your own clubs topics, because how do you expect them to be active when you're not?

9: I suggest always having contests. It brings people back to post in other topics. You can have Medoll contests (Where people just sign there names and you look or save it somewhere for you to see later), Scenery contests (Which should be done in the club and usually have a theme and could end up on the front page), Story contests (The key to story clubs I think that could be poetry or anything), Talent contests (Where people posts links to art, singing and more), Raffles (Where people enter somehow and the you draw. My sister had an idea to have people do certain things like make posts to get more tickets), Active contests (Where the most active person who posts and makes sceneries gets a prize), or my favorite... Covergirl contests. Covergirl contests are like MeDoll contests- only they go on the front page of your club. I have everyone enter with a scenery of them that can go on the cover if they win, then I pick the best three and put them in the poll. I send a prize to those three too. Then everyone votes on those three and the poll decides who wins. I usually put the top three on the front page somewhere so people can see them- the presentation or scenery. The winner goes on the cover and gets another prize.

10: I know I'm saying to make contests, and I want you to do that... but DON'T EVER not give prizes. You're saying you're giving a prize so give it. Nothing will send people out of your club faster then a lie. If you have no money, explain and send it soon. If like only two entered and one of them gets the prize... still send it- unless BEFORE the contest started you wrote in the topic "not sending prize unless 5 or more entries" or something like that. If those two entered, they deserve prizes. They were active. So if you don't want to make contests because of sending the prize, set small prizes. I make mine usually 5 stardollar gift for first and 3 stardollar gift for second. My big prizes are 15 usually. It's possible. Even for non-superstar. If you want a prize to be bigger with a small amount of money or none at all, add stuff like this: Manager, Scenery on the Front Page, Mentioning in Poll, Model in Album, MeDoll in presentation, 5/5 votes and more!

11: One last tip... managers! Choose wisely. Managers can delete members, topics, sceneries and posts. Pick someone responsible. Some members ask to be manager and that might mean when they get to be they'll leave. So tell managers they need to be active too. I usually don't have many managers. I like doing it all myself. I think your club is safer that way. 

Hope these tips were helpful and that your clubs or clubs in the future will be great! If you have any additional helpful tips, post them in the comments! Please and thanks! Enjoy! ♥
