Announcements of books, online workshops or services which are to be sold are allowed from regular posters. JGDG has many regular posters, many know one another. Think of it as a physical group that gets together to talk about jazz guitar. If you come into the group and join in, you will be well received, if you are unknown bust in and place ads all over the room you may not be well received! Mention your event or book as though you were informing friends rather than placing an ad. Please follow the following guidelines:
1. Be a regular poster in the group. Please do not just join the group to place your announcement!
2. The announcement should be as though you were informing friends, succinct, with minimum marketing terms and a clear link to the site. Please refrain from using excessive marketing terms such as "the best", "the greatest" etc. Please do not post a link only with no text this is termed "link spam".
3. All the ordering information and details must be on the web page accessed via the link.
4. The member posting must have their name and contact details visible in the posting.
5. For workshops, please use the hashtag #Ann See What do the subject prefixs mean ...? and use the following format:
Location:Workshop detail #Ann
Note the order, location is first, then the workshop detail. Our group is international so your workshop announcement will not be useful or relevant to a large number. The location is important and enables our members to quick scan the message to decide whether they can attend.
Out of respect for other members please do not indulge in excessive self-promotion. Please keep your signature block to four lines and 60 columns at maximum. Read Signature Etiquette
PLEASE DO NOT ABUSE THE GROUP. THE GROUP SHOULD NOT BE USED AS AN EXTENSION OF YOUR MAILING LIST TO PROMOTE YOUR CD's, SERVICES OR PRODUCTS.
