Let me ask you something... How many free communities have you joined trying to figure out Skool? How many times have you Googled "how do I set up [thing]" and gotten zero results that actually make sense? How many hours have you wasted searching through Skooler forums or help documents that somehow answer everything except the thing you actually need? If you're a Skool group owner - or you WANT to be one - and you feel like you're out here figuring it all out alone, I see you. And I built something specifically for you. Friday, I'm opening the doors to the NEW Standard tier of the Build Lab, and it is the place where Skool group owners stop guessing and start building with actual support behind them. And here's what makes this different: I'm not just someone who learned Skool last month and decided to teach it. I bring years of experience as an award-winning educator who has spent her career developing courses and curriculum and helping others create high-quality courses and memberships. I've taken all of that and brought it into the Skool space, which means the support you get here isn't just "here's where to click." It's grounded in real expertise about what actually makes a community work, and that combination is genuinely hard to find anywhere else. No more dumb questions (there are NONE here, seriously). You can ask where the button is to add a link as many times as you want! No more spiraling at 11pm over your community setup. We'll help you decide the best direction for your topic, your audience, and your situation. No more feeling like everyone else has a secret roadmap you weren't handed. Get the confidence to make the decisions you need to make so that you start making progress instead of waiting to "feel ready." This is YOUR place to get it done. Don't miss it. Friday is a ONE DAY ONLY founding member launch. That means the price you lock in on Friday is the lowest this will ever be. After Friday, the price increases dramatically. So if this is speaking to you, you're going to want to be ready.

This one hit different. David Bachman — self-described Tech Geek and Proud Baker — reached out recently and said something that genuinely stopped me in my tracks: “You are doing amazing work, and Crust & Crumb Academy has become one of my top resources to send other bakers to. Your craft and dedication to helping other bakers is inspiring!!” When someone tells you they’re sending OTHER bakers your way, that’s the win right there. That’s the whole point. I started the Crust & Crumb Academy because I believe every home baker deserves real knowledge, real community, and real progress — not just recipes. Hearing that it’s becoming a go-to resource for bakers helping other bakers? That’s the dream. Thank you, David. You made my day. 🙏🍞 If you’re ready to level up your baking, come join us. Real bakers. Real progress. 👉 https://www.skool.com/crust-crumb-academy-7621/about

Every week we like to sing the praises of others on Skool who are doing amazing things. This is the place to do it! Please share the community, a description of what makes it awesome, a link, and a mention of the owner. Tag the owner if they are already in the CLASSIFIEDS or send them a DM and let them know you mentioned them here. I promise you will make their day. This is the only place where affiliate links are okay. 😊

I run the Shopify Growth Collective....a Shopify-focused community with a VIP level made up of product-based founders who are actively building, implementing, and investing in their stores. The audience is thoughtful, engaged, and focused on real results (not shiny tactics). I’ll be heading to the Skool IRL in Antarctica next month (WOOT!!), which means I’ll be dealing with unpredictable Wi-Fi and potentially inconsistent calls for most of February. Rather than pause momentum, I thought it would be fun to put together a Traffic Expert Takeover inside my Shopify community. February is already Traffic Month for us....and traffic isn’t my lane. I’m a Shopify UX / on-site conversion strategist, not a traffic expert, and I normally bring in outside specialists at this time of year anyway. This time, I’d love to open the doors to collaboration with other Skool community owners, creating space for traffic experts to step in, share their expertise with my audience, build trust, and expand their own visibility and community in the process, while keeping mine active and well supported while I’m away. What I am thinking... Each expert would host one 60-minute live session any time in February: - Either 60 minutes of live Q&A - Or 30 minutes education + 30 minutes Q&A - Focused on how your traffic lane applies to Shopify store owners It’s a great opportunity to: - Speak to a Shopify-specific audience - Practice teaching to founders who ask good questions - Build trust and visibility in a peer-led environment This is not a pitch fest... it’s collaboration, trust-building, and real value. Traffic lanes I’m looking for - UGC / creator systems - TikTok (organic, paid, or TikTok Shop... honest takes) - Live shopping / live selling - Meta ads (Shopify-smart) - Email marketing for product-based brands - Or if you are a expert in driving traffic to Shopify stores in some other way feel free to let me know wha tyou do. If this feels aligned...or if there’s another traffic lane you think would genuinely help Shopify founders... please comment. I’ll be curating this intentionally and keeping the group small.
