7 days ago I launched my Skool community. Started at rank #6,000-something with zero members and zero idea if anyone would care. Today: 150+ members. First classroom is live. And we're ranked in the #800s. Real people showing up, asking questions, sharing wins, helping each other. I didn't do this alone. Communities like this one showed me what's possible. Watching all of you share your journeys, your setups, your wins, your struggles, it gave me the push I needed to actually launch instead of waiting for "perfect." Skool is genuinely one of the most positive platforms I've ever been on. It's designed to help us actually connect. No algorithm nonsense. No vanity metrics. Just real community. If you're building something right now, whether you're at 0 members or 10,000, drop it below. I want to know what you're working on. Let's celebrate together. Cheers 🥂

5 min: Let them explain the problem. 10 min: I showed them exactly how I'd solve it (live demo). 3 min: Pricing and timeline. 5 min: Signed the contract. No pitch deck. No proposal. Just clarity. What's your close rate and what tips have you found that work?

I started on upwork about ~9 weeks ago and just had my best month ever ($23k in new contracts)! Closed this month: - 3 web platform builds ($5K-$15K each) - 2 agency-level contracts ($10K+) - Multiple smaller projects Strategy: Stopped competing on price. Started competing on speed + credibility. Forbes + YC in the proposal + past similar builds = instant trust. Are you on Upwork? What's working for you?

A few years ago I would charge $500 for landing pages. Got price shoppers, endless revisions, ghosted on payments. This year I charge $5,000. Better clients, faster decisions, zero payment issues. The secret? I stopped selling deliverables and started selling outcomes. "I'll build you a landing page" vs "I'll build you a page that converts at 8%+" Same work. 10x the price. Better clients. What's something you should be charging more for?

I noticed realtors were frequently spending $200-500 per property video so built a tool that does it in 60 seconds for $20. How it works: 1. Paste a zillow link 2. AI pulls images, creates slideshow with pan effects 3. Adds voiceover and subtitles 4. Export professional video Launched about 5 weeks ago. Currently at $812 MRR. No ads. Just organic growth. We’ll be starting outbound next week! Check it out: tryshowplace.com
