Group Management tips

We all know that we can join only 25 groups, which according to me, and probably to most second lifers, is a problem. There are so many good designers, and 25 groups is just not enough to stay up to date with their latest releases. The weird thing is that I haven't come across somebody to have discussed about this issue. It wasn't a long time ago when I just didn't know which groups to join and which ones to leave. Thats why I decided to share my tips on how I managed to stay in control of the groups I'm joined in.

1. Join the Fashion Consolidated group. Most designers post notices in this group.

2. Join the Savoir Hair group. Its just like Fashion Consolidated, but only for hair.

3. If you are at a bar, club, etc., and you get invited to join the group (happenst mostly at parties), do join if you like, or if you do not wish to seem rude, but leave it immediately after you leave the place. There is no point of joining groups like that, unless you plan to go to other events they organize.

4. Some designers invite you to join their group after you have purchased something in their shop. If what you have purchased is the only thing you like from the designer, just click on decline without thinking twice.

5. Join the Fashion Emergency group, but only if you don't mind a lot of group chat. The group was created for its members to help each other with whatever fashion related issue they have. Don't expect notices in this group, but instead, do expect a lot of info from the group members concerning new releases, hottest designers and items, sales, freebies and getting advice on anything fashion related.

6. See which are your favorite designers, and then check if they have blogs. Most of them do. Subscribing to their RSS feed is a great substitute for joining their groups, since whatever notices they send, they also post them in their blogs. Also, most of the SL blogs are syndicated into Fashion World of SL and World of SL. So subscribing to these two feeds is all you need to stay informed. Also you can subscribe to the Fashion Feed of SL

7. In case you are a freebie hunter, do leave at least one extra space in case you find out of a group members only freebies.

Well, this is how I managed to stay on top of the groups I'm joined in. I even have 2 spaces left to fill in. So I hope this helps you too.
