How do I start a yahoo group?

  • i need to set up a yahoo group and can't find where or how to do it. Help is appreciated! Thanks

  • Answer:

    If you mean to set up a Yahoo group here is how: 1. Go to Yahoo!s homepage, from the left hand side list choose "groups" 2. When the pages comes, there is box which says "Easy as 1-2-3. Start your group today." Click on it. 3. Then you enter to your Yahoo mail address. 4. You have 3 steps to create your yahoo group, which are: Categorize, Describe and Select Profile And here is additional info from Yahoo!: How do I start a new group? It’s easy to start a group. Just click Start a Group on any Yahoo! Groups page. We'll walk you through a simple set-up process and presto, you’ll have a group! It’ll get listed in the Yahoo! Groups directory within a few days, in the category that you select during the set-up process. Occasionally, our team of category editors comes across groups they feel have been miscategorized, and if this happens with your group, we’ll let you know. Can I restrict membership? How? Yes. If your group is designed for a specific set of people (and not the general public) and you want to control membership, then you should choose to make your group restricted, which means you approve all memberships. You’ll need to send invitations to the people who might want to join. Here’s how to make your group restricted: 1. Go to your group's homepage. 2. From the list on the left, click Management. This link only appears if you’re the owner of the group or a moderator with the appropriate privileges. 3. Under "Group Settings", click "Membership". 4. Click Edit next to "Membership Type & Welcome Message". 5. Choose "Restricted" next to "Membership Type". 6. Click Save Changes. For more info and questions please visit Yahoo!

it's very easy, go below and follow the prompts http://ca.groups.yahoo.com/start Start by making your site look sharp. Choose custom colors a good photo and welcoming message. Click edit beside description on your cover page, scroll down and you will find where to do all that. Send an email to all your friends and relatives with the URL pasted in explaining the group and inviting them to join and asking them to forward the message to their friends and relatives asking the same. Periodically post a message asking the members reminding them that new members are always welcome and ask your members for suggestions. Do not allow members access to the member's list, if you do and a member gets annoyed at you they could try and get them to join another group or spam the members Add moderators as your group grows and ask them for more input. HTML links to other sites which are pertinent to your group add color and interest to your cover so add them by pasting the codes in just below your welcome message and email their webmasters asking them to do the same. You can also add a hit counter to your cover page. To find them just do a search for “free hit counters”, there are lots available. Put first posts on moderation that way you won’t get spammers. If a member’s first post is spam, ban them right there and then. also if a member is causing problems ban them fast you don't need the aggravation.One thing to keep in mind it isn’t necessarily the number of members your group has but the participation which makes a group interesting. Good luck, take your time and it will grow,
