Welcome, @Jessica Cosci ! We're so glad you're here. Thank you for the kind words. It means a lot that our conversations in @Yvonne Green Yvonne's community led you here. Your goal of helping members feel confident enough to start conversations themselves is one we're passionate about exploring. I think you'll find a lot of kindred spirits here. Looking forward to learning together!🫂

I just received my first-ever Skool Premium member—an annual membership for $99. I want to say thank you to @Todd Thornton. Your post in the Skoolers community was timely, and the suggested communities to review shifted my thinking about my community structure. In addition, you then followed up with a DM like a pro, and that really got me motivated.

Every Community Builder Spotlight tells a story. This week, we're excited to introduce @Avinash Khatri founder of YouTube Business Club (YBC). If you've ever felt overwhelmed trying to grow on YouTube, you're not alone. Many business owners know they should be creating content. They just don't know how to turn that content into a consistent source of traffic, trust, and clients. That's where Avinash comes in. Rather than chasing the latest algorithm or posting more for the sake of posting more, Avinash helps creators build a simple, sustainable YouTube system that fits their business and their life. His mission is clear: "I want to help business owners stop chasing more content and instead build a simple YouTube system that consistently brings them traffic, trust, and clients." Inside Skoolology, Avinash has become known for more than his expertise. He asks thoughtful questions. He shares what he's learning. He encourages other community builders. And he consistently adds insights that help all of us think a little differently. In fact, if you want to see exactly what we mean, look at what he shared with us this week: a full, honest month of his own community-building experiments, the wins, the real numbers, and even the one thing he'd do differently. That's Avinash in a nutshell. He doesn't just talk about building. He tries things, learns out loud, and brings what he finds back to all of us. That kind of generous experimenting is the very heart of what we're doing here. Those are the qualities that make him this week's Community Builder Spotlight. If YouTube is part of your business strategy, or you want to build an audience without feeling overwhelmed, I encourage you to visit what Avinash is building. 👉 YouTube Business Club (not an affiliate link)

Welcome, @Arnold Wong ! Great to have you here! We like that you're thinking intentionally before launching your community. That's exactly what this space is for. Your goal of creating more engaging posts and attracting the right audience is something many of us are working on, too. We hope you'll jump into the conversations and ask lots of questions. Looking forward to learning alongside you!
