I hope everyone had a great Christmas (if you celebrate)! For some of us, today is Boxing Day and a welcome day of rest and relaxation with the family. My 6 yo asked this morning why it's called Boxing Day, which resulted in a huge debate about the origins of the holiday. In a day and age when answers are so easily found online, it was kind of nice to sit and argue about all of our personal preconceived notions about the holiday... For those of you who are new (and there are a lot of you!) we are so glad that you are joining us! Since the main community is for promoting your own personal groups and services, we like to take Friday to look outward and share about the communities of others that we think are particularly beneficial and that others would like to know about. This is the only place/time where it's okay to share affiliate links (please disclose in your comment if your link is an affiliate link). IN THE COMMENTS BELOW, please share the name of a community that you think others would like to know about. Provide some context about who it's for and how they will benefit. Include the link, and then also mention or DM the person who owns the group to let them know you promoted them in the Classifieds. i guarantee you will make their day! #FriendFriday recommendations made in new posts will be deleted.

OK... GOSH, I hope this will be fun! On Fridays in this group (which will really be about 36-48 hours long to more or less honor when it's Friday SOMEWHERE)... you can promote but only through a story! THIS REALLY SHOULD BE FUN!! (I hope) GUIDELINES: - No story = no promo - If you want to promote your group or anything else, it's got to be wrapped inside of a story. - The offer is related to the story in some way but wouldn't be the headline. - This should genuinely be fun --> tell a story with that usually story arch where you set up the background, lay on the tension or the turning point, then share the breakthrough, and finally let all that goodness be a bridge to your offer - LINK IS ALLOWED at the end of your post - Please no bullet-point sales pages or CTAs with the "buy now" "last chance" "doors closing in two seconds" FOMO triggers. - Don't add it here, make your OWN POST! And Stick it in the category called "🎁 Story Selling Friday!" - IF YOU WANT, you can add a link to your to that post in a comment on this post and even share the BTS to your story (BTBTS behind the behind the scenes! lol) That's it! ================== This is a post from my group "Connect & Collab". I want to be really clear that I love and adore the Classifieds and am glad it exists. I come here to check stuff out and to share it. I expect it to FEEL like the Classifieds (although I'd love to see some "Romeo Looking for Juliet" and vice versa here and there for fun...?! Or some variation of that). So I've been working to find the balance of allowing some promo BUT not turning my group into the Classifieds. What I'm doing NOW is that we have a whole bunch of ways that members can promote but there are some limitations too: - some posts are there specifically for advertising your group or offer(s), - you can introduce your group to us, - it's A-OK to share a link when it comes up organically in conversation, - premium/VIP members can promote anytime, - collabs that benefit members of our group are OK to share with permission, etc. - (NOW the Story Selling Friday)

Hey hey Classifieds Skoolers -- this feels like a FUN number to celebrate!!! CONGRATS to @Shannon Boyer and CHEERS to all the friends in here showing up to this sweet space where you can connect but also promote your Skool. LOVE the growth in here and good-natured thought process. I'm setting the intention to be here more but to make sure that my promos are INTERESTING when I drop them. I've been impressed with some that I've seen in here lately! AND... I have noticed... when I do share in here, it's effective!!! Have you found the same?! THANK YOU Shannon for making this space!!!! 🫶
