Start with a good first impression.
Your Meetup group’s description is one of the first points of interest for potential members. Make sure the description answers these questions:
- Who should join: Describe your ideal members.
- Why they should join: To learn more? Get involved in their community? Challenge their skills?
- What members can expect out of the group: Paint a clear image of typical activities and outings members can expect from this group.
- Community: How will your group foster relationships between your members?
You want to grab a member’s attention within the first few seconds, so it’s important to keep your description brief and informative. Help members have a clear understanding of what your Meetup is about, and whether or not it’s a mutual fit.
