Guild Content

6. Things to add: When you're done with your layout, and after you've put it up, its time to start writing down your guilds content. Here’s a list of things you can add to your guild:

  • Contests: Try to make up your own contests instead of just copying what everyone else is currently doing. Offer good prizes, not cheap ones. That'll make more people join your guild and it'll entertain them.
  • Giveaways: A giveaway is when you choose an item to give away to a random member in your guild. It can be a daily giveaway, weekly giveaway, or monthly giveaway.
  • A newsletter: Putting up a guild newsletter is a really good idea. Your members can then write down articles and such for you to put up. They can even make comics and other fun stuff. Just like the neopets newsletter but you can make yours unique by coming up with something different. It would also be nice if you gave members who submit things to your newsletter a gift for their hard work! It doesn’t have to be something expensive such as a paint brush! It’s the thought that counts.
  • Member of the month/week: Almost all guilds that exist on Neopets have a Member of the month/week. It’s when you choose the most active and helpful member in your guild whom you think deserves to be MOTM. You then give that member a gift of your choice.
  • Pet/Site/Petpet of the month/week or other: These are all the exact same thing as Member of the month/week.
  • Guild site: I think making a guild site is an excellent idea. You can make it using your pet's page or make it using geocities or anything else. You can put up free graphics such as banners, shop blogs, backgrounds, and userlookups for your members only. You can also put up your guild's news and whatever you want. If you think making a guild site is too hard then it’s no problem! ^^ It’s your guild and your choice!
  • Events & Birthdays: A guild event is when you select a certain day of the month and make that day a guild event such as Free food day, your guild's birthday, or whatever you can come up with. Also, ask your members to give you their birth date. When they do, save them all on your computer/on paper or on a page on your guild's site. Then when it’s any one of the members birthday, sending that member a small gift would be thoughtful. You can however just wish them a happy birthday =) it’s the least you could do.
  • Guild Bank: Opening a guild bank will allow you to improve your guild. Members can then donate money to your bank, giving you the chance to buy something useful for your guild after you've reached a certain amount. You can also use the money you've collected from your members to buy good contest prizes.
