The card and poster is good, perhaps a chess piece attracts more attention.
And have contact on display and possibly the address where it is.

I thought you were putting up a poster to advertise the chess club.

Am I administrating the club or managing it?

In English, calling yourself the Club Manager would suggest you are in charge and running it. Calling yourself the Club Administrator would suggest a role with less authority where someone else may be deciding how the club is run and you are doing what they tell you to do.

Isn't it rather more important how you describe yourself in farsi, as that will presumably be the first language of most of the members you hope to get?

A friend told me that I should write 'manager'
And he also told me I need to replace 'lessons' with ' learning'

How can I use the videos on youtube to make money, of course without breaching copyright?

Is there a specific formula for calculating the number of flyers to distribute?

Ah! The problem faced by everyone. I make* the folloing points:

Often printing double the number of flyers will make surprisingly little difference to the cost (at least in England).
90% of flyers will never get to anyone
9% of flyers will be taken by someone but thrown away without beng read
0.9% of flyers will be read and then thrown away
0.09% of flyers will be read and put in a pocket for later follow up and then thrown away.
0.009% of flyers will generate a visit to your club or a message of enquiry.
0.001% of flyers will finish up in a museum.

*I originally wrote "would make" but my wife gets really cross with people who say "would" when they are actually doing what they say they would do.

I distributed my flyers in the subway train, going uptown and downtown 2-3 times! But yes, some were thrown away. And they told me I could not distribute insidethe train, so I did not distribute inside the train tonight.

Now my question is:
How can I distribute the flyers in a way that increases the likelyhood of my club acquiring students?
Some club owners fail or even refuse to recommend to me a flyer-distributor...
