===How can I find/attract new members?=== <!--T:35-->
</translate>
<translate><!--T:36-->
Some JUG groups have found that [http://www.meetup.com meetup.com] is a good way to attract new members from outside the Joomla Community since they do well with search engines. The main disadvantage of meetup.com is that it is a paid service and is not free, however it does handle meeting announcements, RSVPs etc very well.

You can also work on developing your own Group website, and you can list events if you are a registered Joomla User Group you can list them on [http://events.joomla.org events.joomla.org].</translate>

Other sites you might want to use include [http://www.lanyrd.com Lanyrd] and [http://www.plancast.com Plancast].</translate>
