Tweak says, "he don't want your sympathy,"

Once you have created your asylum and are ready to get members, you should first join [http://www.insanejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=72] and post in it [http://www.insanejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=74]. Users may be more inclined to join an asylum if there has already been a topic discussed or posted entry, in contrast to an empty journal. In addition, your asylum will appear in the "Recent Asylum Posts" list at [http://www.insanejournal.com/], so people will be able to see your asylum.

The best way to get more members is by joining the InsaneJournal Asylum Promotion [http://asylum_promo.insanejournal.com/] and posting about your asylum. For a complete list of the InsaneJournal Official Asylums, see [http://www.insanejournal.com/community/asylum_promo/4658.html].

You can also directly invite certain users to have membership/posting access [http://www.insanejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=80]. Note, however, not everyone will accept it.

Another tip is to try to customize your asylum [http://www.insanejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqcat=customization]. Some users do judge on the appearance of your asylum, and that can be a factor of their choice to join or not. Simple and easy customization can be done by using the S2 style system [http://www.insanejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqcat=s2].
