It was such an honour to be able to get together with so many amazing Classified members today. Learning about everyone's expertise, their groups, and how they help others with their skills, talents, and experience is always inspiring. This video is well worth the listen to learn more about what everyone offers. There is TONS of potential for collaboration as well!!! I'll share a copy of the chat as well, but I don't think the links are live, so for everyone who was there, please feel free to share your links and thoughts in the comments below! I can't wait to meet up with you all again next month. Happy holidays to everyone. 😊

And if you don’t yet… you soon-ish will. Let’s crack it together. First up, I’ve been talking about this for yonks (hmmm, that's maybe a Brit saying-thinking out loud), and it came up again in a conversation with a juicy convo with @Éva Raposa (yes, she always brings those, keepin it real kinda chats), thanks for sparking back this spark btw… Anyways...It totes reminded me how many of us are carrying this quietly, especially if we’ve been in lots of different communities over time. Ok, full transparency because LOL at pretending otherwise… So, I was literally sat here thinking what the frick should I post in this group and how could it actually be useful or supportive to someone, instead of just posting for the sake of posting, pffft And then I realised… DUH… this is one of the conversations I have ALL. THE. TIME. People telling me they don’t know what to write. Don’t know what to post. Feel like they’ve got nothing to say. Feel like nobody actually cares anyway. And honestly, if you’ve ever thought any of that, you’re not broken, you’re not behind, and you’re DEFINITELY not alone. A lot of this comes from what I call POSTAPHOBIA!!!! 🫨 Yep, it’s a (mimi-fied) thing + yup, I have it too. It usually comes from being in loads of different spaces, all with different vibes, different rules, different expectations. Maybe you’ve had posts deleted before. Maybe you’ve been told “this isn’t relevant here”. Maybe you shared something once and it landed weird. All of that stuff gets stored in your body and suddenly posting feels… risky AF. Uncomfortable. Like you might do it “wrong”= internal eeeeekkk, gulp... So instead of doing something, you freeze. Overthink. Then balls to it, you do NAFF ALL, NADA, NOT A TOFU SAUSAGE. And here’s the bit I really want you to hear. We are ALL here - in SKOOL, in communities, in groups - because we have something to share. We didn’t accidentally end up here. We might be at totally different stages, with different-sized communities, different confidence levels, different energy… but we’re all here because we care about building something. A community. An idea. An impact. A business.

It's that time of the week when I pull back the curtain and show you what's going on behind the scenes of the Classifieds. Why? Well, because the members asked and also because, why not? So, ummm... I think I might have accidentally deleted this post from last week, so I don't have the comparison numbers to report on change. 😬 Number of Members: 833 Number of Premium Members: 170 Percentage of members who are Premium : 20.4% About Page Conversion: 25.1% Discovery Ranking in Money: #28 Discovery Ranking Overall: #99 Highest Activity Day: 1949 Lowest Activity Day: 524 The Context: So, my apologies for not having comparison numbers this week. I will tell you that I am denying way more new members than I am accepting. I'm going to start tracking it in the new year because it's actually staggering. We discussed this at the last PERSONALS meeting, and I've decided that keeping the engagement in the community high-quality is too important to me to open up enrollment. The group is public so that anyone can see what's being posted inside, but only Skool group owners can post. Another thing that was pointed out to me today is that this group has a high percentage of members who are online at any one time. As I write this 128 of you are currently online!!! And everyone on the 30-Day Leaderboard has a flame!!! That means that this is a very active group, and that is very valuable to me. IMPORTANT REMINDERS: This group supports you as affiliates, so the work you do to promote the group and encourage your people to upgrade to premium directly affects your pocketbook. At the very least, you can get your membership for free! Also, don't forget that we have another round of the PERSONALS on Wednesday where you get to promote your group and what you do, I record it, and then it gets shared in the community for all to see. Don't miss out! Check the calendar for the time in your timezone! What's one win that you experienced this week that you would like to share with the group? Comment below!

Get your typing fingers ready.... it's Friend Friday!!!! That means that IN THE COMMENTS BELOW, you get to shout out a group that has provided value to you or that you think others would benefit from. But don't just drop a link, give us some context. Let us know what it's amazing, how it has helped you, or what type of person it's meant for. Then tag the person or send them a DM to let them know that you mentioned them here! You'll make their weeking - I promise. 😊 Unfortunately, shoutouts that are posted in the main feed will be deleted. Have a great weekend!

Give us a tease about something coming up in your group this week IN A NEW POST. 1. Hook us 2. What’s the group and who is it for. 3. What is happening in your group that we won’t want to miss out on. What’s the benefit members get from that event? 4. Provide a link to join your group. 5. Comment on two other posts! Ask questions, give support, share thoughts. 😊 This is a bonus post, so you get two today! Have a terrific Saturday. 🏒
