Hello. I have a question for other club owners. How do you get members in your club without using invites. I am trying to help my friend's club best chess professionals and masters with getting members in. I have to get at least 5 in a day. Can someone tell me how I can do that? I really need help.

Whatever you do, please don't spam.

The #1 key to getting people to join your club is to have something different about your club that will make people want to join.  Do you play team matches and vote chess?  Great, but so do thousands of other clubs.  Why is yours different?

Some clubs have a good vote chess discussion group with strong players - that's great if you have it, but hard to build from scratch.

Some clubs focus on a particular opening.

Some clubs have a particular theme, such as a pirate or Viking theme, or are home to a particular religious or political community.

Some clubs run unique internal competitions.

Come up with something to make your club stand out from the crowd, something that makes your club different from the rest.  If you can come up with something that makes your club unique, keep sending those invites out, and people will join.  Don't count on 5 per day, though.

It depends on who you invite, but generally a 10% success rate is pretty common.

You can also create a colourful blog post about it.

Looks like he's promoting that on a couple Spanish-language Youtube channels with hundreds of thousands of subscribers.
