How​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ essential is authenticity when developing a community? Recently, I kept mulling over the fact that authenticity is one of the main reasons that the right members or even new clients come to your tribe. Frankly, it's something that I really acknowledge and awe, inspire by Gossify. I have never come across a community like it. The community didn't just look good with the branding, colors, and inside jokes but also the tone, humor, and culture were all very different and intentional. While there are Skool communities that provide almost the same services, Gossify is the one that people talk about because it is very unique, it is that “show factor” that stays with you. If someone were to ask me which Skool communities are hard to forget, I would probably refer to Skoolers, maybe a marketing community, and certainly Gossify. So, it made me wonder… How could we possibly infuse our communities with the same degree of authenticity and who personality? It is my conviction that it revolves around revealing your true nature without any fear and also creating some: Inside jokes, Shared language or dialect, small traditions, rituals, or etiquette, A tone that only your members get These things create identity. They make your brand human. I would really like to know your opinion, When you first joined Gossify, what did you think? Moreover, how do you express authenticity in your community or ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌business?

Making a landing page and something clicked for me today. Most creators I talk to actually do have a good offer… but their content or homepage doesn’t communicate it clearly. In my opinion is the messaging/copy. I used to think the problem was their “marketing”, but now I think it’s more about clarity than anything else. Anyone here struggled with turning a good offer into a clear message? If so, what was the help that finally click and you get your sales up? What pokemon you think would be the best marketer? I would vouch for Alakazan.

Yesterday, @Evelyn Weiss dropped a video in Grow With Evelyn about engagement in this group and how there were 27k engagements but that they were meaningful. It took me some time. I really honestly didn't get it. I look around, and most of the conversations don't feel like how I would call "meaningful"... but then... I REALLY WANTED TO "GET" IT! I THINK I GOT IT. It's a different kind of meaningful, right? Like. Things don't have to be serious. We can just be like kids and joyful and have some fun, and that is meaningful too! So you'd come here to talk about bits like - our favorite color 💜 (purple and turquoise for me) - GOOD NEWS (I see a lot of that sprinkled in the mix!) - light-hearted bits - just having FUN So it's not that it's not meaningful... it's a DIFFERENT kind of meaningful. ADULTING IS HARD SOMETIMES. You can pop in here for a bit to get a breath of fresh air before you get back to the hard work of adulting. I like @Samanda Rasmussen's group for this too, it's not just a bunch of crap!! (I think I just tried to put words to a thing you wouldn't usually explain + understand a thing that's not meant to be understood. But oh well. haha! Cheers! 🤓💩😅) P.S. I think this is my intro. I did cover my favorite color, will look to see what is missing here and edit if needed! 🌻 ============ OK. Intro bits >> here we go >> - 🦄 Favorite color? WE GOT THIS! Purple and turquoise! Hooray! - 🌈 Favorite Pokemon? I HAVE NO IDEA! I just never got into Pokemon but do remember a time around when I was heading to college and they were being traded. I think I was too busy then getting ready to start the adulting thing. - 🐛 Ur current skool challenge? I WANT TO GIVE EEEEEVERYTHING. So I have a Freemium group and am having a hard time roping bits off for the Premium/VIP clients. I guess that is OK! Some friends *ARE* signing up, so I'm just going to keep on rolling with it! 😅
