How to Recruit

Postby Sir Cairbre » Wed Oct 01, 2008 6:45 am

Yeah they say SCA over and over again, this is very valid for Belegarth.







This is how to recruit... will any of you listen probably not many, chances are the trolls will just make fun of this guy.

Oh.



wow.



This is exactly what I need! I have only watched the first vid so far.. and it is good stuff! We are really looking at how to recruit actively, and get a certain age demographic. And already he has some really good ideas! Good find!

Really really informative! Most of that stuff is pretty universal when it comes to any kind of recruiting.

Can this be stickied? This is really good information and I would hate to see it be lost in the press of posts.

I somehow have missed this everytime I come into this forum. This is excellent.

Every realm should at least watch this and consider the possibilities these "classes" bring. Much of it may seem common sense, but it's the "common sense" ideas that usually get overlooked.

Excellent find.

Thanks for posting this Madog; a lot of great info for young realms like my own in just 30 minutes of note-jotting. Wish I would have stumbled onto this post earlier; it explained one of our big problems (mass surge of recruits = mass leaving, instead of focusing on keeping a couple members at a time).

Step 1. Update your website more than once a decade

Step 2. When some kid calls you and asks how he can join call him back and explain things.

Which is why I'm playing Bel, and the SCA can prithee go lick a troll's protuberance.

Hey MaDog, can you post (or PM me) the links to these so I can convert them to mp3 format? I only have internet at work, and I'd like to really be able to sit down and listen more closely...

Thanks!

Same Here, plz
In the middle ages, people took potions for their ailments.
In the 19th century they took snake oil.
Citizens of today's shiny, technological age are too modern for that.
They take antioxidants and extract of cactus instead.

I pulled the flash video files so I could watch it offline as well. I put them up zipped together if you would like to download them from here and the second half. You may need a player that plays flash videos without the browser, such as vlc player.

You're new, its cool. But try not to post in topics that are more than like a month with no responses unless you have something good to add.
