Huge thanks to @Jack Robinson aka Charlie West for getting me there and @Gary Lee for introducing me to the skoolyard. Jack got me a star in four weeks. He got @Gary Lee a start in 2 weeks (I think - it was crazy fast) I just wanted to share the things that I've done that have been working. 1️⃣ don't be afraid to post a ton and engage with everything This includes liking your own posts, commenting on everything you can. At first, I felt so tacky doing this and even posting as much as I did, but it's really pushing a snowball down the hill. Everybody in your group wants to be engaged in a fun community. They just need to know that this is a place that they can do that. 2️⃣ Reward the behavior you want. If somebody posts something off-topic, even if it's not getting a ton of traction, but you want more people to post off-topic things, pin that. Engage with it. DM people to say thanks when they make an awesome post or comment When somebody makes a really good comment pin it. teach the members what you want them to do. 3️⃣ ask questions I try to end every single reply I do with a question. I'm probably only 60% of the way there, but unless it's really awkward to come up with a question because we've been in the same thread for three, four, five back and forths, I try to figure out a way to ask them something more about what they said. 4️⃣ MOST IMPORTANT - have 1 thing for them to do. then a ton of things they CAN do. @Jack Robinson aka Charlie West can probably say this better, but... On our first call, he basically said, "You have too much available for them to do. There's too many options. Do they post to introduce themselves? Do they get started with the coursework? Why are they getting started with the coursework? Where is it?" Now - I have one challenge that I want everybody to be doing. Everything is baked into that. I've tried to make it as clear as possible, though I could probably still get better at it on what to do and how to do it.

Yeah, for most beginners, the ʻukulele is the easier on-ramp compared to guitar: it’s smaller, it’s only four soft nylon strings (way nicer on your fingers), and the chord shapes are usually simpler, so you can start playing real songs faster. But, once you get into advanced stuff, that “easy” advantage shrinks, it can get just as technical as anything else. We learn this easy to learn, hard to master instrument in my community, Ukulele Nerds. VIP AD approved by @Jack Robinson aka Charlie West

Sammy, great to have you here in the Yard! I love the focus on deep house music while you work. That is the perfect vibe for shipping results.

Use this post to share a meaningful song for us all to check out this weekend. YT links work best. Here’s mine! ⬇️
