full recording is in the Vault, as all previous news issues for your convenience. let's follow the good, the bad and the ugly framework. - so, the good - new freemium plans presentations. time will tell. but it could help. - the bad - new Skool games focuses on one community only. i have 3. and plan to have more. right now it does not taken into account. things do not happen "magically". there are funnels, there are nurturing times, there are universal marketing rules.... let's not forget about them. - the ugly - they keep showing us examples that do not make any sense - look at Gabe. they forgot to mention that Gabe has 838k subs on YouTube. @Stephanie Hetu did a great analysis (attached) that shows us that we should not be comparing ourselves with the top 5%. ps shout out to @Des Dreckett who shared Gareth's video. Skool is not a cult. we need to make our own decisions on how to do things.

every Wednesday, i watch Skool news for ya and give you the golden nuggets. if you want to watch it, you can find all recent issues in the Vault. ⚠️ IMPORTANT: first things first, if you use Growth Boost, remove any links from your About Page Description or your community will be discriminated (sigh). any link, not just hyperlinks. thanks to @Matthew Burns for pointing this out to me. goodies from the news: - more security for key actions ✅ - better filtered search for currencies and languages ✅ - locked content for free -trial - in the making, be available soon ✅ - growth boost... still in the working, yet we already pay for it (sigh) 😔 my rant (you can skip): - they are sharing the outliers results - ppl who are making $100k per month what can we learn from them? pretty much nothing!!! - how is it relevant to me, to you, to 95% of ppl? @Mimi Ramsey jump in, if you want to, no pressure. i am also jumping on a call re: Growth Boost with Eva , who turned it off - just to hear her reasoning behind it. more to come. there is no perfect platform. there is no perfect brand or person. "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image" applies to everything and everyone. even to me 😜

yesterday, i just ran a monetization AMA (ask me anything) here, in Hackathon. you dropped questions. i answered each one with a personalized Loom video. missed it? here is the thread - defo worth going through it was one of the most valuable things i've done for my community and my business. here's why you should do the same. - you get to hear what people actually struggle with i got 7 questions from members at completely different stages. i didn't have to guess what my people need. they told me. that's market research disguised as a community event. - your answers become content, without extra work every video reply i recorded is now a reusable asset. i can turn them into a classroom lesson, a newsletter tipic, a recap post, a lead magnet, even a mini course. one AMA thread. dozens of content pieces. - it builds trust faster than any course lesson when someone asks a specific question and you show up with a thoughtful, detailed, personalized answer — that hits different than a pre-recorded lesson. just had 2 upgrades to Premium Level from this one post 🎉 - it gives you a reason to talk about your paid offers, naturally. "if you want help mapping this out — that's what we do on a clarity call" "this is exactly what we work on in the mastermind." "i'm building a mini course on this — stay tuned." when the advice is real and the offer is the logical next step, it doesn't feel like selling. because it isn't. - it generates social proof you didn't ask for one member commented that the thread was 🔥🔥🔥 another said the mindset reframe around being proud of your offers was exactly what she needed. i didn't ask for testimonials. the format created them. ==== now, when and how are you going to run your AMA? - pick a specific topic: "ask me anything" is too broad. "ask me anything about monetization" gives people permission to ask the thing they've been stuck on - commit to answering every question with depth. a one-line answer is a missed opportunity. a 3-5 minute video reply? that's a relationship builder. - then recap it (like this one). pin it. repurpose it. the value compounds.

summer is here. and i already know what most of you are thinking. - i'll get to it after vacation - September feels like a better time to start - things slow down in the summer anyway, so i need to take a break i get it. i really do. but here's what i've learned over the years (a decade). *** when everyone zigs — you zag*** while most people go quiet in the summer, i've always done the opposite. i build. i prep. i test. so that when September hits and everyone else is scrambling to "get back on track" i'm already ahead (and i love that feeling). there's something about walking into September knowing your community is set up, your offer is tested, and your first members are already in. vs. showing up going "ok so... where do i even start." 🏕️ Skool Community Summer Camp a small group intensive where i personally help you get your community off the ground (or back on track) prepped for the big boom in September. here's what i'm promising you: - launch, relaunch, or level up your community offer (positioning, packaging, all of it) - attract your first or next 10+ members - turn them into raving fans - design and test your first paid offer this isn't a course you watch alone at 2am. this is me in your corner. and bunch of other community builders. doing it together. who this is for: - you've been overthinking your community for months. maybe you haven't started yet. - maybe you started but you're sitting at 10ish members and feeling stuck. - most importantly, you need growth. you want growth. you are COMMITTED to growth. you don't need another course. you don't need another community. you do not need another framework, funner, or anything else. you need a good kick in the butt, a supportive group, and a coach who won't let you disappear. what's included: - instant access to all 30-Day Hackathon lessons - 6 x 90-minute group calls (putting in the calendar right now) - emergency 1:1 call with me - dm accountability with me ($$$$$ value)
