5 Tips to Gather Attention to your Contests

1. In the title of the contest, make it sound good like: win big, prizes, enter asap, etc.

2. Also in the title, say what the contest is about, like: Scenery contest, invite contest, etc.

3. Make the prizes sound big, even if they aren't, and throw stuff in like 5/5 votes.

4. If you have some money to send prizes, but you don't want to give a lot, make a range. Like if you want to spend 5, say: 5-7 Stardollar gift

5. Give clear, numbered instructions. Make it easy to understand but seem easy and quick to do.

How to make a Beauty Pageant Sash

Tips for Keeping Club Members Active

I know how hard it is to go members of your club active, it takes a long time to gain their loyalty and activity. Here are some tips for keeping your club members active, I hope it helps!

1. The Owner should be nice, friendly and as active as they want the members to be. It sets a good example and if they like the owner they want to do active things for their club. So don't be afraid to add your members as friends!
2. Lots of people say they visit a club by clicking on Spot Topics- but that doesn't mean make random ones. It means make new good Spot Topics they're be interested in as often as possible. I also suggest delete old Spot Topics or moving them to normal topics.
3. Have lots of things for members to do when they come. If there are only 3 topics, they can't stay long. Make fun games, contests and encourage members to make topics too.
4. My club rules help from keeping old topics or boring topics around. I suggest deleting advertising topics, old inactive topics and topics that members can't really do much with. It's good to inform members of what you plan to do so they don't get mad or confused though...
5. Be organized and always make sure you know what's happening in your club- if you don't, neither do your members. You should post topics with clear titles that explain what they are and could also post updates on the home page for current events.
6. Don't be afraid to remind your members. With my rules, it gives me lots of chances to remind them. Posting in their guestbook is easy. Remind them to continue a story or role play, tell them about a cool for event, ask them if they're contributed to a topic yet.
7. Give your members a chance to be seen. Everybody likes to be seen, so make the prizes for contests things like MeDoll/Photo on the homepage, cover scenery, mentioning in poll, contest in honor. Another way is to have ways for them to get free broadcasting or their poll for the club's poll. 

Thank you for reading, I hope these help you. This is how I run my club and it works good. E-mazingstories has a lot of members who visit daily and are very active. I wish you good luck with your clubs too! :)
