To increase membership, one can:

  • Advertise on meetup.com
  • Put up fliers on a university campus
  • Invite your extramural friends

If your group has a decent number of members but too few core members, this means that most of your membership isn't getting value out of the community:

  • Your meetup content might not be varied enough (see section on meetup content)
