Many people think owning a guild is easy, not much work and you just get
to sit around and let your members do everything but your sadly wrong unless
you want to lose members, I am a hard working Neopian that always does something
for my guild. I have to I don't want to lose friends I want them to have fun!
Some ideas are games, no... not NeoPets ones--your own games. It might be
like a guess game where you allow people to guess something on your guild and
then they send it in to your e-mail and could win a prize for being correct.
Another idea is a guild giveaway, these attract many members as they get
something for free, I do something like Mystery Events where a person in the
guild who writes on the board can win a prize, but it is random so it could
happen once, twice or twenty times a day, it depends how nice you want to be.
Also, try not having many things were people have to donate, many people
don't like to donate things especially new Neopians as they don't have much
to offer and need NP themselves.
Guild Advertising: Don't go to overboard, there is no point of spending
2,000,000 NP for a message on the notice board if you are only going to advertise
a guild that will only get about 50-100 extra members, it is best to write a
message just once on the guild board every 30 minutes in the NeoPets chatroom.
Active members, try to Neomail your members as much as you can, don't block
yourself from them they are mostly nice and helpful and some members who like
your guild really do want to you help, you don't know what your missing until
you give them a chance!
Guild Layout: One of the most important features of a guild is how it looks,
surely you don't want a guild that you cant read the writing or is just to dark
or bright so you cant see anything. Try to space out your stuff and make it
neat and pretty, you will soon start seeing many members coming to your guild.
Jobs: Many members will want a job as there might be lots you don't have
that they can do, try to offer no more than 10 jobs or as many jobs as you can
afford, if you give them a job that involves them spending Neopoints, try to
compensate them unless they offer it for free. Many members aren't rich and
it is very hard to have rich members in your guild.
I hope I have helped many of you a little bit, and remember a guild is to
be fun, not to hate someone or something, try to keep it happy and active and
in no time members will be coming from everywhere all across Neopia.
