Hi beautiful Onliners! I've got some upcoming family commitments that are going to take me away from home and leave me with less time for Skool over the upcoming weeks. But I will be checking in as often as I can. And back on deck full-time after 8th January 2026. I saw Sam and Kirby discussing in this week's Skool news that they decreased their posting to once a week and their community actually grew (because people felt like they could keep up with the slower pace of content). So it'll be interesting to see what happens. I know you'll be good to each other. Feel free to post, like and comment at your own pace over the coming weeks. And please support any new people who haven't made their first dollar online yet. The best place to point them to is the first course in the classroom #Make Your First Skool Dollar $. Try not to miss me toooo much - and don't buy me anything tooo expensive for Christmas, okay? ;-)

Please join me in kicking out the red carpet for new member @Steve Robertson. Steve is from South Carolina, married to Karen and lives on a farm in the middle of nowhere.

It's easy to overlook the fact that on YouTube most of your audience (not just today, but over the lifetime of your video) will have no idea who you are. Even when you are posting videos in your own community, it pays to keep reminding people who YOU are and how you can help them. Why? It lets your audience feel welcomed, not overlooked. You show that you understand them and their questions and you want to build a relationship with them like you would if you were talking face to face with them. You'll grow your audience and your revenue a lot faster that way! I made a short about it a while ago. And had two reminders about it in Skool in the last two days, so I thought I'd share it here. One of them has been viewed over 1,000 times and I watched the whole video (more than an hour long) and I never found out who the host was. But his first question to his guest was "who the heck are you?" - I would have loved it if he answered his own question!! What about you? Do you normally introduce yourself in your videos?

Please help me kick out the red carpet for new member @Dania Mora. Dania is a wife and mother of 3 beautiful kids and two bonus step daughters ❤️🙏🏽 military family :)

Please help me kick out the red carpet for @Janine Wooten from USA. I've seen Janine as an active contributor in a few other communities I'm in - so I'm very honoured to have her here. Janine's an artist and an author, and a natural wellness enthusiast - so I know she's going to naturally connect with quite a few of you.
