Before the event, starting a Skool community was just an idea floating around in my head. I wasn't sure yet - the timing, the format, the whole thing. But after meeting all of you, feeling the vibes, the openness, the realness of this space… something clicked. That weekend flipped the switch for me. So yes, I'm officially building my own Skool community! 🎉 For creative entrepreneurs, freelancers and solo business owners who want to grow their digital presence without the overwhelm. Think: web design, automation, support, and practical digital tools — but all with a human-first, no-nonsense approach. 🗓️ Launching around September 10, and honestly, I can't wait. Thank you for the inspiration, the laughs, and the "okay let's f*cking go" energy 💥

Now that we've had time to cool off from an amazing event (TY @Goose Dunlavey), let's think about how we all best keep in touch... Whatsapp?

Wicked today at Swingers 😉😂 had some really nice conversations and made some good eye contact 👀👀 The people really do make an event, and this one was no different. There could have been no agenda at all and it stil be worth it connecting with you all. Inspiring and motivating, thank you! 🙌🏽 But as for the speakers... Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience, it was humbling and insightful 🙏🏽 . . Here are my notes - they may or may not make sense, but I thought it might be somewhat valuable to those who were in attendance as a reminder. **Not polished/messy. - *Goose* Wealth Ladder system - service (no scale) - education (more freedom) - software (ability to scale) Community= Frequent interaction Combined sense of purpose Other things... - inside jokes *Vendy* Moved from LINKEDIN ➡️ YOUTUBE 1:MANY ✖️Short form content does not build influence Short form = awareness ads Long form = building influence, building a brand Google and YouTube are the worlds largest search engines. - so it makes sense to put content there over other platforms. Example client: YouTube 300 views, 6 inbound leads, 1 close = £4K 👏🏽 Meaning views don't always matter ChatGPT is referencing/recommending YouTube videos. ✅ Brand is the only thing that is going to stand. People need to know your name. Long term investment. Long form content. *Farhoon £64k MRR* Started posting 3-4 times a week on LinkedIn, then moved them onto Skool. Views don't matter, it's got to be the right people. Testimonial posts do well without many views (try LinkedIn) 1 recorded Q&A call a week - good content for the community. *Adnan* Right time, right vehicle, say yes. Created his own SAAS. Recommends annuals (33% off - 12mnths for price off 8) ✖️ Don't sell to poor people/low disposable income Waiting list model - create scarcity, desire and urgency Many chat - reels, don't need many views. Target interested users Develop onboarding system Don't send strangers to Skool about page Annual membership changed the game and controlling when people could join.
