Community Formats That Get Ppl Engaged
Here's what I realized recently, we are: - tired - overwhelmed - confused and demoralized By the amount of information out there! It can be really good. Well structured. Yet, there are crickets. Let's change that! Your Community Lead Magnet/Attraction Offer should be action-oriented. Here are 4 types of communities that will make people engage. 👇🏻 Once you watch the lesson, please share what format you pick for your community 👇🏻

@Carin Chantel I like the "Podcast Launch Sprint" idea. Definitely, deeefinitely NOT going to happen with *one* decision a day (way more will be required). Your role is to facilitate and enable that process (ideally in a very streamlined way that brings a sense of simplicity and confidence in your future members - a sense that THEY can do it; I feel it's more about *removing* obstacles/friction than adding anything; there's that too (like tech help) but it seems secondary).

...for some strange reason family celebrations continue to get scheduled for 19:00 on Thursdays... and I have no choice but to miss another implementation workshop Last call was like *really good* (quite a few things clicked in place in my head) — so I expect tonight's live workshop to be excellent. If anyone is on the fence, I'd lean into it (attending live), it's well worth it. ----- EDIT: oh, shoot... I was talking about *tomorrow's* event... Today's (WED) one ALSO sounds deliciouts... I'm just not in the group/level as I honestly cannot handle 12 additional events this month.
🎥 Skool News Update + My Rant About It ...
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 😜

@Mimi Ramsey excellent rant, Mimi :) (you rival Lidia's own rants — full of insight and value; non-rants, if you will) With 90+% of engaged members and future clients coming from organic, it makes absolutely no sense to pay 30% *lifetime* affil commission. I also missed yesterday's "pop-up" event (was out and about) but there's a recording in the other post (https://www.skool.com/skool-100/pop-up-event-growth-boost-fri-3th-july-500pm-jerusalem?p=9efba8c9) which I am eager to watch soon.
Why You Should Run an AMA Thread in Your Community, Regularly
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.

@Lidia Axe ...erm... it was 100% *your* idea, Lidia... you just generate SO many ideas per day... You literally said (in the CIM): "first, welcome to join - ask me anything on monetization second, i will do a full RECAP on it and post it here (tomorrow)" I just thought it was an awesome idea and reminded you to do it (as it was not in the weekend plans you shared). One aspect I was curious about was how come this worked so well in the larger Hackathon community while the same thing, on an even deeper level, generated little interest in the CIM. Now let me read the actual post and see what you came up with 😜

Great post! As usual, you came up with an interesting perspective that I could not come up with. Some of the ideas that stood out for me were: - members directly telling you what they need and where they are stuck - this format being better for building trust than any course - (from comments) async posts working great for people who would otherwise not join a live call It's fascinating how much engagement the AMA event created (including here in the Recap post). Awesome stuff!
the AMA on Monetization is live🔥
for the next 24 hours, you can ask me anything about monetization strategies for your community: - pricing - offers - free-to-paid - upsells - low-ticket - high-ticket - bundles. whatever keeps you up at night — drop it here. how it works: → post your question as a comment below → don't forget to post a link to your community or any other page that is relevant → i'll answer every single one → you can ask more than once → upvote questions you want answered first there are no stupid questions. stupid questions are those not asked. ask away ⬇️

@Lidia Axe Outstanding answer! I really appreciate the mindset aspects that you crystallised for me. Being *proud* of what you are offering and knowing that it will help people who take on the offer quite significantly — great attitude. As a side-note... it's very strange but normlly I get irritated by people rambling (talking too much) — and yet somehow you are the exception to the rule because I find myself *enjoying* your longer answers; I think it comes down do *quality*: you genuinely have something of value to say; in your case it's more like *layering*, adding nuances, making it clearer and deeper.

@Marilyn Harris I think Lidia already answered that exact question. Quite insightful actually. (link to video above)
