Recruiting new members!
We have discussed this many times before. One part of the staff agrees and other does not etc. I will put the facts now in front of you so that we all don't have any prejudices about it.
New academies have nothing to offer. Many of them recruit and have like 20 new members which are active for some time even if the site looks horrible and nothing is still made there. Others have even more members and they keep them there. However, all of them have no future, no proper ideas, their ideas are just to make their own academy and feel how it is, then look at other places and copy stuff, that is it. Then, their members start to vanish. But, the accent is that even those horrible places can have solid 20 members in no time. How? If DA is best, how can people choose to go to a horrible place? They can't lol. No one would really duel for BA in a horrible site, or post an article that no one reads etc. They don't know about DA, they have been randomly recruited from DN and that is it. Ofc it is better to be at some place than just randomly play in DN all day. They accept and register, trying to get some flow to their dueling day.
So, this means we just have to do the same old thing. Go to DN, recruit people here and talk with them few sentences to make them feel good about the place and that is it. Rest will be done by DA itself when they see all the good stuff. Our recruitment can be very effective considering that we have an awesome and best academy site in the world. So, how exactly are we going to do it?
1. Recruiting is done by PMing a member in DN. It works if you just PM randomly and speak with someone few words, then paste the link to DA and encourage to register there. However, this is a slow way, many people will just deny thinking you are some jerk who advertises. If you play a duel with some random noob, then you can tell him at the end of the duel these things and it will not appear like you advertise condoms but like you give him opportunity to be better duelist. It works best if you also win the duel, making him want to be as good as you which you promise him in DA ofc. If you play 20 people per day, telling em this can get us at least 5, minimum from those 20. This is not a problem if you play on a regular basis, test decks and whatnot. So, it does not cost you much time, it is just few words after duel nothing more.
2. We start from ourselves. We will start doing it first. We might be proud of ourselves, but who can be proud when we cannot exceed the number 100 active members for years... All we get is random people from googling, which is good but not great yet. So, we put our pride aside and do it. It is not a low thing to do for a staff in DA. We just encourage people to get better while registering at DA after duel. After duel it will not look like you advertise your own azz.
3. When we as staff do this for few days, we will announce it in public to everyone in DA, making a "tourney of recruitment" for our members, where we will give time and those who recruited the most, they will be awarded from us. To make the hype explode, we will put a cherry on top, saying that who wins the race gets to be an Assistant of DA.
4. After examining how the event was, we can plan on further recruiting, continued, defining solid prices for each recruitment and of course every once in a while we, staff, will post in that topic how we recruited someone so that we put a constant hype to the thing.
I believe if we do this from heart, we can get at least 50 new active members in this summer period. So what we want now is Step 1, staff going there and recruiting people. When you try it, post here your results and who you recruited. This matter is important so please help us. You know that we highly appreciate who contributes to DA and this is one of the things where loyal staff members will be proven.
Thanks in advance, your lovely feudal queen Amy
