Last week I lost my Skool flame for the first time in 365 days, and it happened in the middle of the best three to four weeks I've ever had. I made nine interactions that day. You need ten to keep the flame. It happened because I've cut right back. I used to post and comment across a lot of communities every day. Now I post far less, and I only put something up if I think you'd bookmark it. The other change is the order. In every post and every video, the person reading or watching comes first. Whatever I've got to promote goes at the bottom. The title is what these feeds look like to me a lot of days. I've got this, I've got that, join this, join that. It's promotion with nothing to learn from and no story behind it, and people scroll past because nobody opens a feed hoping to be sold to. We're all here to promote what we do and make money. I am too. I've just found it works better when the reader gets something first. I'm not telling you to do the same. These are small tweaks that worked for me, and they mean you'll see me around less. Agree or disagree? Tell me below. And the bottom of the post, as promised: if you run a Skool community and want YouTube to bring members into it, that's what we work on in The Content Revenue Lab. It's free to join.

TODAY, Wednesday August 19 4:00 PM New York time I'll be going LIVE in the "UNPLUG AND PLAY SUMMIT" A little bit about me and what I'll be talking about: I'm a mother of 8 and studied psychology + inner child healing for the past 20+ years. Now that my youngest child is turning 18 (next month :)) I wanted to share some important insights on how to parent teens. It's a delicate phase in a child/parent journey and we sometimes gloss over what's most important to address. If you have teens, grown children, or even young children, I would love to have this conversation with you all. All topics welcome. 👉 What are important questions or challenges that you'd love me to include or address? Join us LIVE! 📅 TODAY Wednesday 🕐 4:00 PM New York time 💬 Interactive with Q&A I'm looking forward to seeing you there! Love love, Chanie P.S. The summit is in @Mary Nunaley Connected Through Play Community. And, of course, feel free to join MY COMMUNITY HERE
