If you have a team, can you tell me how it grew?

I haven't really personally invested into my own teams as much as I should've, so I'm not sure I'm fully qualified but:

Tournaments: Join Liga + Rapid League and become a very dedicated player for your own team. Find other similarly dedicated players and award as much as you can within your own abilities (not everyone can pay their own members, so other alternatives would be awarding leadership positions and giving out frequent gratitude for their loyalty)

Blogs: The one place where you can truly advertise! Use that to your advantage. Also make sure that all leaders (including you) have the team listed in their bio so that it's the first thing people see when they click on your username.

Time: This is probably the most important factor. Unless you offer monetary prizes, there's a good chance that your team is going to take quite a while to grow. Patience is key -- remember that having ultra involved members that are actually dedicated to your team is typically much better for long-term growth than spamming everyone's inboxes and receiving members that would not be nearly as dedicated (yes this is a call out for people who don't seem to understand that sending random links doesn't really help in the end).

Studies: If you are a team for studying chess, use that! Make studies themed around your team members and their brilliancies :)
