I’ve been heads-down, blinders on, deep in behind-the-scenes stuff all day barely touching Skool. Then I popped back in tonight and found a pile of messages from you all... and our 20th review! Twenty... 2️⃣0️⃣... on a community that’s been open 282 days! When I started The Directory, my biggest fear was building another place where everyone drops a link and runs. 𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙨 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚. You all show up, ask questions, cheer for each other’s launches, drop GIFs and jokes! You get to know the people behind the businesses, and then you actually send them traffic because you like them. That was the whole dang dream and you guys are making it real! So thank you! 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆. 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲. 𝗢𝗻𝗲. 𝗢𝗳. 𝗬𝗼𝘂! Whether you’ve been here since January or you joined this week, this place is the absolute best because of you! Okay, I’m done getting sappy! Mostly 😁 I love you guys! 🩷🩷🩷 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗥𝗢𝗖𝗞! (And if you haven’t left a review yet and you’re feeling the love... I wouldn’t be mad about #21 😉)

Drop whatever you’re working on below: your one-liner, graphic, CTA, About Page, offer, sales copy… whatever could use a few fresh eyeballs. Then scoot through the comments and help a few other people with theirs. 🔴 RED LIGHT — It’s vague, confusing, missing the hook, or simply isn’t landing yet. 🟡 YELLOW LIGHT — The bones are good, but something is getting in the way. 🟢 GREEN LIGHT — Clear, compelling, and ready to roll! 📋 Having your About Page reviewed? Paste the wording or add screenshots—no links yet. Once you receive two green lights, edit your comment to say: "✅ UPDATED after receiving 2 green lights" ... then you may add your direct link. And remember: give feedback before asking everyone to give it to you. We’re not posting and ghosting around here. 😉 🏆 Last round’s winner is @Jennifer Rassbach from The Guild! Jennifer didn’t just tell people whether she liked something. She explained why it worked, or didn’t, and gave specific feedback they could actually use. She also stuck around for the revisions and helped people take their work from yellow to green. Jennifer wins a 24-hour pinned post, which she can claim anytime within the next 30 days! Every round has a winner. Who’s coming for Jennifer’s traffic-light crown this week? 👑🚦

I vet every single member who comes into 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗢𝗻 𝗦𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗹. This one looked legit. I checked her comments & activities in other communities and there was zero mention of a Shopify store anywhere, no Telegram mention, nothing. She never would have made it through the door if there had been. Then she dropped 93 comments overnight, every one bending back to her Shopify store. I woke up to 𝟵𝟯 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 and my DMs going off because there was a spammer amongst us. It gets better. She jumped into a thread and replied as if she had collaborated with me. We have never spoken. This part, though, I absolutely love! Those DMs came from members who know me and this community so well they sniffed her out in minutes. That is the community we built together! So if you are here to spam, consider this your one and only warning: The Directory is a community, not a hunting ground. Try this and you get the boot. No second chances. She got the boot this morning. Happy Saturday. Go troll somewhere else. 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗮 𝗥𝗲𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗿!!!

Another weekend, another chance to show up for each other! Same game as always... bring your one-liner, graphic, CTA, whatever you want eyes on. ⚠️ Quick reminder: 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱! No dropping your link until you've gotten 2+ green lights from other members. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆: Drop what you're working on and tell us what kind of feedback you want. Then go give feedback on a few others using the light system: 🔴 Needs work — vague, doesn't land, missing the hook 🟡 Getting there — good bones, but something's holding it back 🟢 GREEN LIGHT — this is clear and ready to go 📋 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗣𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗔𝘂𝗱𝗶𝘁𝘀: Copy and paste your About Page text directly into your comment, or drop a screenshot — no links. Once you've earned 2 green lights, edit your original comment to add "✅ UPDATED after receiving 2 green lights" and then you're welcome to drop your link. Give feedback first! The best rounds are the ones where everyone's playing both sides. 🏆 Shoutout to last round's winner: @Jenny Rader-Bakos! She helped 8 different members get clarity on their pitch across 45 comments... showing up over and over, in the trenches with people, not just dropping a quick note and moving on. That's how we do it here! Honorable mentions: @Nicole - Nykki Wright and @Anne Iglesias... both brought serious value to the thread too. 👏 Every week we have a winner, and whoever gives the most valuable feedback this round earns a 24-hour pinned post. 𝗪𝗵𝗼'𝘀 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲?! 🚦

𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝟳𝘀: I've added something NEW to your Level 7 Unlock... and it's already live. 👀 Go take a peek in the Classroom, then come back here and tell me what you think. 😏 For everyone still climbing... By now you probably know that reaching Level 7 earns you a spot in the 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁, where you'll rotate alongside our other Level 7 members and get extra visibility on your biz! But apparently I can't leave well enough alone. 😂 There's now another visibility perk waiting inside the Level 7 Unlock. 🔥 I'm not telling you what it is... You'll have to get there. 😈 Level 7s, don't spoil it! Instead, tell everyone below: 👇 What's your favorite thing about being Level 7?
