One of the most important things I've learned since becoming an online entrepreneur is that the most important thing you can do to grow your business is to build relationships. Many of us (myself included) have rushed to promote our groups and services that we care so deeply about. And it only makes sense - we are excited about what we are doing! Today, I'd like to invite you to take a step back and introduce yourself to the group by answering the following questions: 1. Who are you personally? 2. Who are you professionally? 3. What is something you love doing outside of work? 4. What is something surprising about you? As you open up and make more connections, you will find that not only are people more interested in what you do, but they will also be more interested in helping you make connections with other people they know! 😉 After you introduce yourself, please scroll through the other introductions and add a comment to someone you have something in common with or would like to know more about. 😊 Please add your introduction in the comments below! ⬇️

Every Monday, I peel back the curtain and give you a sneak peek behind the scenes of the CLASSIFIEDS. Why? Because very early on, the members of this group asked, and I said, "Sure!" 😊 # Members Total: 1338 (+52) #Premium Members: 222 (+15) Percentage of members who are premium: 16.6% (+0.5%) Conversion Rate: 22.3% (-0.5%) Ranking in Money: #26 (-2) Ranking Overall: #90 (-3) Highest Activity Day: 3133 (+1563) Lowest Activity Day: 847 (+378) The Context: The Classroom Ad Sprint was a great success and it was so wonderful to have so many people join along. The Ad is a great benefit to being a premium member, and we saw a great uptick in members upgrading as a result. 🎉 On Wednesday, I am hosting another PERSONALS session for premium members to meet each other and promote their communities live, so hopefully we will meet a lot of new faces there! Even though we had 15 more members upgrade to premium, our percentage of overall members remained the same due to a relative number of new members joining the group, which is great! The most interesting numbers are the rankings and activity. Over the past 10 days, I have steadily seen us drop one level every second day. This is very unusual as the ranking usually fluctuates quite a bit both up and down. But what I find surprising is that the ranking continued to go down while the activity levels increased. This is perhaps because there were a couple of strong days while the majority of the days had less activity than normal. 🎉 𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦: 𝗢𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗹𝗹, 𝗜'𝗺 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗻 𝗙𝗲𝗯 𝟮𝟬 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗺𝗶𝗱-𝘄𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗲𝗯𝗿𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘇𝘆.

Let me know what you think in the comments below. Are you going to participate?

The replay is up in the classroom now. It got me thinking about your Skool community growth. How your About Page does more work than people realize when someone lands on your community for the first time. Why not make it work harder for you too? The natural next step feels like an About Page workshop focused on how your community page reads to someone who has never used Skool before…. now deciding to join or keep scrolling. Think of your About Page as the front desk for people who didn’t expect to end up here. Here’s what I was thinking … 💭 🤔 Would you be interested in a fishbowl workshop where I audit two members’ About Page copy while everyone who joins learns along? I would need two volunteers who want a page review for conversion ratings & ways to improve your copy so it attracts the humans you want to serve. Is this something you want next? HELP me pick a time in the comments please!! I am thinking about this Friday evening or Saturday morning CST.

On Monday, I'm hosting a free masterclass for all members called, "What Makes an Online Course Successful? There's been a lot of controversy in the Skoolersphere about whether or not courses are important or not. Is the classroom really "dead"? If you want to help someone learn a new skill or undergo a transformation based on theory, process, or steps, the classroom can be your best friend - when done right (that part is key). Too often people talk about how horrible courses are, but it's usually because they have only experienced bad ones. Come join me for an open conversation about your classroom and learn what makes a course "successful." Check the calendar for the exact time and then add it to your personal calendar so that you don't miss out. A replay will be available for a short time after the actual masterclass.

As you know, there are no affiliate referrals allowed normally, but on Fridays, we celebrate the Skool owners in our lives who are making an incredible impact and helping people with their talents skills and expertise! IN THE COMMENTS BELOW: Please share a group, tell us what makes it great, and include the link (affiliates allowed here). Remember to tag the person or DM if they are not a member, and let them know you referred them in the CLASSIFIEDS. I guarantee you’ll make their day! 😊
