You mention Direct add members under a $10 monthly payment?? I
cannot see any details of that facility or how to use it. Can you
advise.
Sure.
Direct Add is achieved almost exactly like
sending an Invitation. The screens even look almost identical. The only real
difference is that the subscription proposal does not have to be accepted on
the receiving end. The people being added are shanghaied directly into the
group, do not have to confirm their accounts, and will begin to receive group
emails immediately.
This can be very handy if you have a lot of people
who are afraid to click on links in emails or otherwise struggle with the
normal invitation process. Paying for Premium every year and using Direct Add
instead of Invite has saved my primary group a lot of hand-holding.
All
that said -- in the context of migrating from Yahoo Groups on the cheap --
there is nothing to prohibit you from keeping that ten bucks in your pocket
and simply using the Invite process instead.
