Alrighty then… so… deep breath because honestly I don’t even know how I’ve ended up doing two Christmas gifts this big, but here we are. It’s happening. I’m rolling with it. I’ve been sat here thinking about this community, thinking about MYM, thinking about last week’s Backroom banner excitement and the humans in those pictures, and the energy, and the epic ass joy, and the realness of it all… and I just thought, you know what, it’s Christmas, let’s go big, let’s actually give people something that makes a bloody difference instead of the usual sparkly fluff. And I’m gonna be totally honest obvs — none of this makes business sense lol Absolutely none. But it does make sense for how I lead and who I am and how these spaces work when they’re at their best. I don’t want the clickbait nonsense, I don’t want the “exclusive secret door” rubbish, I don’t want the sleaze. I just wanted to give something that’s actually fricken useful, human, supportive, real. So yep. Two gifts. Both ridiculous. Both only for the Backroom and MYM because those are the spaces I pour into every day and the humans who actually show up with me. 🎁 CHRISTMAS GIFT #1 — BACKROOM ONLY The $111 Community Audit… for $1. Yep. One dollar. No idea what came over me. But the Backroom is full of people actually doing the thing — showing up even when it’s messy, asking questions, trying, wobbling, getting back up, talking, being human — and I just thought, let me give you something that actually helps you get momentum in YOUR space. So if your Skool community is quiet or feels a bit meh or you don’t know how to get engagement going or you’re overwhelmed or you’re looking at your dashboard like “erm??” — or even if you don’t have a Skool yet and want your FB group looked at instead — this is for you. I go inside your space, look at everything, all the corners, all the bits you’ve probably forgotten about, and I record you a personal Loom walking through what’s working, what’s not, what’s blocking engagement, what needs shifting, and the plan to bring it back to life.

This ain’t a negative post, promise. It’s a research post. (And maybe a safe space for a collective grump.) What actually pees you off about social media right now? The algorithm? The fakery? The silence? The “hey hun” DMs? The constant pressure to post? The dancing reels? The burnout? The noise? Go on — give me the full shebang, don't be shy... What makes you roll your eyes, lose your mojo, or want to chuck your phone into the ocean? 🌊 I’m digging into this for my OWNED SOCIAL™ feed experiment — so I genuinely want to know your honest AF take. This is a rant-friendly research zone. Let it out. I can take it. 😂

Alright — here’s where things stand today. 👀 60 about-page visitors ✍️ 23 signups ⚡ 38.33% conversion rate 🏆 Discovery rank: #272 (yesterday #193 — yep, we dipped, but it’s all data) 💰 0 paid — still not what this is about ⚙️ Notes from Day 2 📩 I’ve now shared the feed link across my socials, 1,000-email list, and my Back Room Skool community (100+ members). No signs of it showing up on Google yet — which I expected. It can take weeks or even months for Skool posts to index, so this part’s the long game. 📊 Still haven’t started tracking Facebook vs Skool reach — that begins from today as I start posting my regular content here too. 🧠 Reflections Even with early numbers, early days... it will take a while to see patterns. No funnels. No ads. Just organic visibility and curiosity. And this part is key — this isn’t a community; it’s a social feed. No classrooms. No events. No algorithms. Just a space to see what happens when you own your own visibility instead of renting it from platforms that change the rules daily. 🪄 Coming Next → Start posting more regular content here (copy, stories, rants, ideas, YouTube videos). → Begin Facebook vs Skool data tracking. → Keep watching discovery + SEO performance. It’s not about going viral It’s about getting visible, consistently, authentically, and on your own turf. Let’s see what Day 3 brings. 📅 Day 2 — logged. #OwnedSocials #SkoolExperiment #DataDrop

I HATE SELLING! I actually hear so many people say this, and I’m like — woah WTF, let’s stop right there for a sec. No, you don’t. You hate feeling like a knob, that awkward, out-of-body, wanna-vomit feeling when you’re trying to sell in a way that doesn’t feel natural or authentic. That “ugh, why did I just say that?” moment when you follow someone else’s formula or slip into that fake-ass “sales voice” that just doesn’t fit. You hate pretending to be excited when you’re secretly terrified everyone thinks you’re annoying. You hate watching people ghost your offer like it’s their ex. You hate the silence that follows, because silence sounds a lot like rejection when your self-worth’s hanging on the algorithm. But selling itself? Nah.Fck dat You don’t hate selling. You love buying. (right, yeah?) You love the buzz of finding something that genuinely helps you. You just haven’t realised — or maybe forgotten —that your people want that feeling too. So can we shift this… You don’t hate selling. You hate the sleazy ass shit masquerading as selling. You hate the “hey hun” DMs, the over-rehearsed scripts, the fake urgency. You hate feeling like you’ve turned into a low-budget infomercial version of yourself. But that’s not selling. That’s just bad theatre. Selling is telling the truth—loudly. It’s saying, “Hey, I made this thing that could actually help you,” without turning into a fcked up circus act for approval. You’re not scared of selling. You’re scared of being seen trying. You’re scared of giving it your all and still hearing nothing back. And that, epic humans, is the exact edge you need to stand on, because that edge? That’s GROWTH. So stop blaming “selling.” Blame the bullshit story that says confidence = sleaze. You’re not pushy. You’re passionate. You’re not manipulative. You’re magnetic. You’re not forcing. You’re filtering. The moment you stop performing and start being honest. Selling stops being icky and starts being art ❤️

Here’s what the dashboard says today 👀 28 about-page visitors ✍️ 12 signups ⚡ 42.86% conversion 🏆 Discovery rank: #521 💰 0 paid — because this isn’t a sales space. This feed isn’t built to sell, it’s built to test what happens when you take your content off the algorithm hamster wheel and start owning your own reach. The real question for y'all: If you could track everything - your traffic, your growth, your engagement — without a single ad or funnel…what would change? This is OWNED SOCIAL™ in action No hacks. No funnels. Just message, consistency, and data.] Let’s see what happens next. 📅 Day 1 — logged.
