EVE New Citizens Q&A

This is by no means a full on guide on how to be a successful CEO or Director, in order to be successful, you need to have certain skills that cannot be trained, these skills should be ingrained in your personality.

And as a special bonus tip to all of you interested in this..... Miners are BY FAR the easiest to recruit and heavily outnumber all other types of pilots.
If you really want to grow a large corporation, set mining as your primary objective and then try your hardest to excite those miners into doing more then just mining.

I am CEO of my corporation for almost 4 years now. From that experience, I can tell you that the rules you lay out are absolutely not going to make your corporation succesfull. Most of this is simply not true.

Managing a succesfull corporation is a lot more complicated. It's not as easy as following a couple of rules.

That is a terrible guide. Remarkably so.

Yup, that is indeed a good point.

The point is to get clicks on his website and for ppl to use his buddy invite.

I don't know about you guys, but if you hadn't noticed, his corp is pretty much perma camping its current wardeccers and denying them their regular dose of killmails (cept for a few low value ones at least).

And it's pretty clear to me what he means with success, a big corp that is making a name for itself in some way shape or form.

Also:

"8. Industry pilots are THE most important players in EVE, don’t let any pvper tell you otherwise."
That is pretty much accurate.
I know it's pretty much the "chicken or egg" question, but without industry, there would be no pvp.
Of course without pvp there would be no need for industry either, but i still feel industry > pvp is more true then pvp > industry

Well at least that is a comment I can do something with and I agree with you on this.
If you would have said that from the start, I would have done something with that information and changed the post to better explain what I'm talking about

Another alt post of yours, this is becoming a habit. What are the chances that this alt only posted in 2 threads ever, both if which are the OP's. Even more so, in the other thread you're actually bidding against yourself in your own WTA.

"1. The player comes first, the corporation comes second, any alliance you are in comes third and any coalition you are in comes fourth, you take care of things in that order and in that order alone."

So you will ruin the corp for one person?

"2. You NEED a diverse group of people, miners, manufacturers, PvPers, mission runners, possibly incursion runners and of course Orca/Rorqual boosters."

No?

Elaborating a little: I am in a wormhole corp and we do not have or have any need for a rorqual/orca. Most of us have never mined in years and missions even less.

"3. Miners and other industry focused pilots will tell you they don’t like PvP, they are lying to themselves, they just don’t know that yet.
Figure out how you can positively influence them to get involved in pew pew."

Forcing someone to do what they don't want to do is a good way to alienate people. If a miner expresses interest in pvp, then yes, give them an avenue.

"4. 150 is the magic number, once you get that many members, you will see that you attract a lot more people to your corporation by default, the amount of effort you will have to put into recruitment will go down to almost none."

Any proof at all? Or you just happen to get 150 members and then hit a spike in recruitment and then you decided that was the norm?


Lot's more wrong with your blog, including the fact you're offering a 30 day free trial.

OP edited, still don't need miners and rorqual boosts in a pvp corp.
Also, definition of success if strange - as we ran one of the most successful pvp corporations in CFC at one point. And it wasn't all that large.
