I posted this on @Ruben Plasmeijer community a while ago but it's also good "Roast my Lesson material, so I'm reposting it here" ---------------------------------------- Most commmunities fail at engagement for one simple reason: they don't explain to their members how they should do it. ---> Here are some basic tips: - Branding: My whole brand is built around what people can do inside, and not on what I will do. That makes a huge difference. - Welcome DM: I welcome my members giving them specific instructions on the posts they can make as soon as they join. I make it personal by checking their community and profile. So they usually post right away. - I use post categories as a way to show people the kinds of posts they can make. And if that's not clear enough, my onboarding process has a link with detailed explanations of each categories. - I have clear rewards for people who engage. --> Here are some activities you can give to people for engagent: - Competitions, challenges, gamification: great if you have a clear prize and rules that are easy to understand - Support: give clear instructions on how people can come to you for help and commit to answer every post - Accountability: follow up people on their goals and how they are at each step - Shoutouts: share the wins of your members with the community - Exposure opportunities: have clear rules that allow people to promote their work (or for you to promote them) without making your community a spam fest. - Regular live events (where people do more than just listen to you) - Posts for people to have fun and know eachother: if your community feels like work for you it will feel like work to everyone. And no one wants extra work. - Feedback (the whole premisse of my community): instruct people to make posts asking for feedback on their work.

No need to be gentle :) I translated what I do in my community to my website, so it should work as a lever to pull people into my community. What I am mostly concerned about is that I use too many wording, and therefor confuse people, more than attract them :) This is the link: https://laurapaulina.com/

@Ruben Plasmeijer showed me how cool this game is for community. But I'm doing something different. It's going to be about opinions. So here is how it works. Share 2 true opinions you have and one false opinion. People in the comment will try to guess the false one. It can be about anything, food taste, music taste, opinion on celebrities and etc. Only after a while you give the rifht answer.

That's the feat @Laura Paulina will help achieve on The Calm Engine! With a structucture that works so you are not the engine. If you run a Skool community and you're the one keeping it alive, this was built for you. Laura lost everything at 48. Nine months on the streets. What rebuilt her was structure - not hustle, not visibility grinding, not someone else's playbook. Structure. She built The Calm Engine on that same principle. Two things happen to most Skool owners: their community only moves when they're feeding it, and they grind in other people's spaces just to get seen. The Calm Engine ends both. - 🔄Flywheel Operators work through the 7-phase Skool Flywheel Playbook and install the operating system that runs their community so they can stop running it manually. - ⚙️Gear Turners share one working mechanism in our monthly Accelerator Event and reach Skool owners across every category on the platform. One session. Consistent reach. It compounds every month. - Your path: Grinding owner → Calm Operator → Gear Turner with something worth sharing. Different gears. Same direction. Join free → your path starts on Day 1
