QUESTION: How to Advertise a New Steam Group?

Well, posting it here wasn't such a bad idea. If you've got an interesting group, chances are people will join with a little bit of advertising here and there.
Bump.

Thanks for all the support guys. Posting this here alone has gotten us around 40 members.

Adding a few giveaways to your thread will help a lot, as people will be more inclined to feel obliged to bump your thread and keep it at the top of the forum. Even cheap bundle stuff, doesn't need to be an AAA.

free bumpy for ya.

Make random giveaways, make them group exclusive. Post here and enjoy all the leachers joining your group.

Alternatively​ you make group recruitment post , explaining​what your group is about , what your goals with the group is etc and you may gain a couple members .

I'd say I prefer the second option more , as it will gain you group members who want to participate in whatever it is you are doing , rather then couple hundred people who just look for the enter giveaway button and couldn't care less about your nor the 16.437 other groups they are members of .

But I'm not here to judge , just throwing a tough on the matter .

Well, we ended up doing our first giveaway for the server launch. Got us about 7 members. I was considering buying the script which basically gives players in-game money for joining the Steam group. I realise most people join and then immediately leave, but if even 20% of people stay I think it would be worth it. The script is $7.50 USD. Would this be worth it (the script will pay for itself if two of the people who join donate for the lowest donation store item).
