"If anyone doubted that our members don't read anything, the proof is right here in this forum. The creators of their networks don't either. Yell first and get the facts later seems to be standard operation procedure these days."

Download your Ning member list, extract email addresses, and group them into segments based on sign-up answers (e.g. segment = country of origin - India, Australia, Canada, US, Europe, etc.)
Create groups on your network, representing these segments (e.g. Indian Chapter, American Chapter, etc.)

Increased three times the number of weekly new members sign ups

Posted on April 18, 2011 at 1:30pm 8 Comments 0 Favorites

I requested all members who want to join my groups on other networks (e.g. LinkedIn) to first sign-up with my Ning network, in order to be accepted. I don't have the time to check if all potential members follow my rule, but it significantly increased the number of sign-ups on my Ning network, and also help reduce the number of people who join for spamming purposes.
