Here a quick summary of my takeaways from todays event. Themes Find something you like and add it into your community to create conversation, fun and banter. Think Mario, Pokemon, Iron Man, A Fruit, just something relatable that becomes an inside joke. Emotions Communities are about emotion. How do we make people feel being part of the community? Hang out with people like you would your friends. Be yourself! Categories Make it fun with emojis. Ideally one word, one row. You know you have too many categories when the 'More' shows up. Less is more. The Three C's Being Clear and Charming or Clever wins over traditional value. The idea is to use personality in a way that is authentic genuine and caring. Classrooms First 3 classrooms could have a fun banner that stretches over the 3 cards transitioning from one to the other. Small details like this create a wow factor. These three should teach members how to post, how to comment in the community and give a free gift. Unlock each class using levels. This builds engagement and culture. Levels Use Emojis to show a theme. Different fruits are fun 🍆🍓. The goal...to make it interesting and relatable to the community. If 🍌 was Level 9, people will want to be that. Fire (from @Jen Ritchie ) Giving people a free gift/call if they earn the Skool 🔥 award/emoji on their name. Incentivizes members to engage and 'win' access to the owner on a call. Could be paired with items/courses or bonuses as well. Engagement Trumps Member Count Small communities can rank higher than huge communities on the Discover page. How? High engagement. An active community has activity, people are posting, showing excitement and having fun. Free Community Goals Turn members into ideal clients. Thought it might be useful for all.

The biggest thing I've learned this year is the ability to say NO! Stop jumping into every great new idea and saying NO! Saying NO to the one off jobs! Saying NO to buying every new thing! Learn to say NO proudly!

Some sort of crab or other type of seafood… I don’t know if it’s because I was sitting next to goose at dinner, but he couldn’t finish or eat his little octopus Get to meet some more cool people at the Bangkok IRL and see some fun old faces… @Jen Ritchie
