To create newsgroups, first try to get an understanding of the Usenet.
For this, a visit at news.announce.newusers pays off big time.
Then, consider visiting the shores of news.announce.newgroups for the
beaches, margaritas and an intro creationism [the electronic kind].
There are informative articles posted there.

To make your potential readers aware of your talents, edit your followups.
That means cutting out unnecessary lines. Rule of thumb: only few Usenet
posts have more than 5 necessary lines.
