I run two free Skool communities with over 12,000 members combined — and they generate more revenue than most paid memberships ever will. What are your thoughts and questions?

Building a community and making connections with Skoolers just doesn't happen on little square screens. 🖥️ Today, @Dorletta Payton @Tonia Fisher @Kimberly Armatys @Barbara Hobart @Demetra Lambros met up in downtown Chicago for a Skool IRL Meet Up! No pitches. No training. Just coffee and connections. When is your next meet-up?

The next Virtual Summit is coming this fall and one of the biggest opportunities available inside this community is the chance to become a speaker! Speaking at the summit is an incredible way to: ✨ Grow your audience ✨ Build authority ✨ Share your expertise ✨ Connect with thousands of entrepreneurs 🚨 But before you can apply, you must be Level 5 or higher. If you're currently between Levels 1–4, this summer is your opportunity to show up, contribute and level up so you're eligible when speaker applications open. So now you might be wondering 🤔 "How do I level up faster?" The fastest way to level up is by COMMENTING, but not just with quick replies, GIFs or one word answers. The real difference happens when you turn a comment into a conversation (reply + ask a follow up question). ⬇️ For example, if someone comments on the “Who Are You?” post and says they sell digital products, don’t just respond: ❌ “Welcome!” Instead, take it one step further: ✅ “That’s awesome! What kind of digital products are you selling and what inspired you to get into it?” That small shift turns a surface-level reply into a real connection and that’s where momentum starts to build. The more intentionally you engage: ✨ The stronger your relationships become ✨ The more value you unlock inside the community ⚡ The faster you level up You can also: 👍 Like helpful posts 💬 Join ongoing discussions 📝 Share your own wins, lessons or insights 🤝 Consistently support other members I’ll be posting engagement posts and mini challenges throughout the summer to help everyone level up but you don’t need to wait for those to start! Even just 15 minutes a day of intentional engagement can create real momentum. Next time you log into Skool, set a timer for 15-30 minutes and focus on genuinely connecting with people, not just scrolling through posts. You might be surprised how quickly the points (and opportunities) start to stack up.

Your freebie is not “just a lead magnet.” It’s the front door to your entire business ecosystem. Most people create random PDFs, checklists, or workshops without thinking about: • where their audience is in the buying journey • how much trust they’ve built• what the next logical step should be That’s why so many freebies get downloads… but no conversions. This framework breaks down how to match your freebie strategy to your current growth stage: 🔹 0–10 joins/day → high-touch trust building 🔹 10–20 joins/day → scalable education + challenges 🔹 20+ joins/day → paid micro-offers that qualify buyers And every high-converting freebie should be: ✅ Easy to consume ✅ Valuable ✅ Attractive ✅ Authoritative ✅ Immediately actionable The big shift happening right now? People don’t need more information.They need guided transformation. Your freebie should naturally lead into: → your signature offer → your community → your mastermind pathway Question for you: What type of freebie are you currently using in your business right now? 👀
