@Rasheed Hooda Try and keep that 100% engagement as people join you have to keep getting them to chat. If they don't that 100% will drop over time. The % will go up and down it will depend on your engagement

@Eric William There you go I like to hear that lol.
I'm running a Meta Ad. Roast it first so I don't deliver it raw!
I'm spending the total fortune of 20 USD or a burger dinner on it. It will realistically not bring me more than 3 members at best. But it will give me some useful stats hopefully. I'll make other experiments with video content. Here it goes: Tittle: Stop buying marketing courses. Your next course won’t tell you what’s wrong with your actual ad, offer, website, or content. You don’t have an information problem. You have a feedback problem. Bring what you built to Roast & Promote. Real people will tell you what works, what’s confusing, and what you should fix next. 🔥 Get roasted. Get better. Help someone else and get noticed. 📢 Join free and post what you’re working on.

@Paulo Costa, The Roaster What's wrong, ranked by cost in a cold Meta feed: 1. A stranger can't tell what this is. It never says free Skool community, and "ad, offer, website, or content" covers everyone. The image has no brand and no CTA. Someone who only sees the image has nowhere to go. The "Achievement Unlocked" badge is too small to read at feed size. The image and the copy target different people. The image calls out course hoarders. The copy asks for "what you built," and many of them haven't built anything yet. The proof isn't used. 256 members and a 5.0 rating are real, and neither appears. Your best line likely gets cut. Meta truncates mobile copy, so "You have a feedback problem" probably sits below "See more." "Roast" has no reassurance. "We roast the work, never the person" is missing. "Join free" comes last and weakest. It's your strongest reason to click, and it's buried after the emoji line. "Tutorial hell" is jargon for anyone outside dev and online-learning circles. The mood doesn't match the landing page. The ad is dark and grim, the community is playful. Keep these: "COURSES: 37 / HONEST FEEDBACK: 0" makes the whole argument at a glance. "You don't have an information problem. You have a feedback problem" is a real reframe. "Stop buying marketing courses" is direct and specific. Bottom line: strong concept, but it describes the problem and never says what you're offering, who it's for, or that it's free and safe.
Roast my promo post — be brutal 👻 (it's scheduled to go out tomorrow morning, so don't hold back)
👻 GEN X CREATORS—COME ENTER THE HAUNTED HOUSE! If you've been curious about UGC but keep thinking… 💀 "Am I too old to start?" 💀 "I don't know what to create." 💀 "I have no idea where to find opportunities." 💀 "Everyone teaching this is half my age." 😂 Come join Proof Over Pretty—a UGC community created for Gen X women who are ready to stop hiding and start creating. We're kicking off October with our Haunted House Challenge—a fun way to take action, create proof and quit letting perfection scare you away. 👻 Inside, you'll also find simple scripts, useful tools, weekly action plans, creator resources and women figuring this out right alongside you. Our Founding 25 spots are officially filled, and we're already growing toward 50! You don't need thousands of followers, a perfect aesthetic or years of experience. You just need somewhere to begin. We don't chase perfect. We chase proof. 🔥

@Lisa Hunt I might be a little late but thought I put my 2 cents in. What's wrong, in order of damage: No next step. "Come join" with no link, price, or way in. The founding line muddies the offer. "Founding 25 filled" reads as social proof, but also as "the door might be closed." Headline says "Gen X creators," body says "Gen X women." Men stop reading at "women." "UGC" is never explained. The reader who says "I don't know what to create" may not know the term. The Haunted House Challenge has nothing behind it. No length, no day one, no end result. "Kicking off October" is already stale. It's October 5th. A "Proof Over Pretty" post with no proof. No member result, no example. The inside list is generic. Scripts, tools, action plans: every UGC community says this. Keep these: "Everyone teaching this is half my age" is the best line. The four doubts as bullets name real objections. We don't chase perfect. We chase proof." is a strong closer. Bottom line: the voice makes me feel understood, then gives me nothing to do and no proof.
Roast my community images
I reworked the copy of the about page and you roasted last week. Now I reworked the opening images. With my intention to do ads, improving convertion is very important. I got out of Growth Boost and decided to handle my own traffic, but for that to work, I need to make the people I'm calling from the ads actually understand with little context and very quickly what this group is about and having the promisse from the ad match the promisse from the page. So hopefully the current one does the job better. It's more focused on the mechanism of the community and the reason most of the members stay here. I'll also add a second image showing proof of the tag system. Also the communiny description image is just decoration now since with GB off I'm not on discovery anymore. And the most important thing was not covering Roasty's face, so I think that's dealt with now.

@Paulo Costa, The Roaster What's working always have the good news first "POST WHAT YOU BUILT." is the clearest hook yet: big, specific, and an action. The three-step row explains the give-to-get loop in seconds. The dragon pointing at the viewer grabs attention and gives the brand a face. What's off: not bad news just what is off Too much text for a banner. Below the headline, it turns to mush at sidebar-thumbnail size. All red, orange, and yellow. Nothing stands out except by size, and the red icons on black are the weakest part. "Free" isn't there. It's your strongest reason to join. "Roast the work, never the person" isn't there either. A hesitant visitor is left to assume the worst. "I'll tag relevant reviewers" has no "I." Who's tagging? The banner and About Page hooks don't match. "Post what you built" vs. "Your marketing probably sucks." Bottom line: stronger hook than before, but it carries too much text for the size it's actually seen at, and it skips the two things that lower the barrier most: it's free, and it's the work being roasted. Hope this helps
