that's the sentence i hear most from people who've done everything right. the community exists. people joined. some of them even post and comment. and then nothing happens, and you start wondering "what's the problem?" that's September's theme inside Community Income Mastermind, and it isn't a random topic i picked. in Community Income Mastermind we focus on TRAFFIC, ENGAGEMENT, and MONETIZATION: - you can't monetize a room nobody's in. that's Traffic. - you can't monetize a room that's silent. that's Engagement. - and when both of those are working and still nobody's buying, that's Monetization. September is that third one. SEPTEMBER in Community Income Mastermind: - week 1, the webinar. TOO GOOD TO BE FREE. - week 2, two workshops. we build it together. run twice, timezone friendly. - week 3, no events. you're building it. i keep you accountable. - week 4, two hot seat / Q&A calls. also run twice to accommodate for time zones. plus some productivity sessions i'm adding, to help you actually execute. join if you can, no drama if you can't. ➡️ join Community Income Mastermind for $37/m until 1st Sep (going to be $97/m) with 7-day free trial first. cancel anytime. p.s. this is post 4 in a series of 8. p.p.s. glad to have @Vladimir Belokapov part of the CIM crew.

i'd rather lose you today than take your money and have you quietly regret it in six weeks. i've been on the other side of that and it's a horrible feeling. 1. you don't want to be checked on. yesterday i said the thing that killed your last purchase was that nobody noticed when you stopped. i notice. i check on you every week: - post a plan and don't do it, i'll ask about it. - go quiet for three weeks, you'll hear from me. some people find that motivating. some want to lurk. you know which one you are. 2. you need this to work in 30 days. it might. but it's like promising you'll win in a lottery. i'd rather say that now than take a payment against a timeline i don't believe in. 3. you can't dedicate at least 2-3 hours a week. if you're in a season where those hours don't exist - new baby, big job, something hard - that's not a character flaw. it's the wrong month. again, nothing wrong with you if any of the above is true. if you want to lurk, don't really have time right now to build your business, don't know exactly what you want to build, stay here - Community Builders HQ is the right room. it's free and not going anywhere. if none of those landed, you're exactly who Community Mastermind Income is for. ➡️ join Community Income Mastermind for $37/m until 1st Sep (going to be $97/m). p.s. this is post 2 in a series of 8. p.p.s. glad to have @Kathy Fluch part of the CIM crew

I’d like to ask you about something I’m currently struggling with while building a community in the Czech Republic. I’m trying to attract new members through advertising and I’m using a free webinar as a lead magnet. However, I’ve noticed a significant difference depending on where I send people from the ad. When I send the ad directly to my Skool About Page, only 1 out of 200 visitors joins the community. (Fremium) So I tested sending the exact same ad to an external landing page, where people first register for the webinar. Out of 200 visitors, around 40 people register. I then explain to them that the webinar takes place inside Skool, and approximately 8 of them eventually join Skool. So the results look roughly like this: Skool About Page: 200 visitors → 1 member External landing page: 200 visitors → 40 registrations → 8 Skool members I’ve also tried addressing this with an explanatory video and an email sequence explaining what Skool is and why they should join the community. This has made me wonder whether I’m doing something wrong, or whether this is a common challenge for non-English-speaking markets? In the Czech Republic, most people have never heard of Skool, and the registration experience is also in English. Have you encountered a similar problem with other non-English-speaking communities? And do you have any recommendations for reducing this friction and improving the conversion from interested visitors to Skool members? what you think? Thank you

big question ppl. communities thrive on engagement. so, many ppl use Leaderboard levels as a bonus - price to motivate ppl to participate. i do not like it... cause it seems a bit manipulative. and it feels a bit fake. yet, i do use it, randomly. now, my question is... should i double down on it? - lvl 3 gets this - 30 day leaderboards leaders get this etc, etc. i understand the mechanics. and why it works. i just cannot decide if this benefits YOU. and my formula, is always: WIN-WIN-WIN: - i win - you win - your ppl win and i am happy to do everything (pretty much, no nudes involved), to achieve this formula. so, yes or no - let's make it simple. should i use leaderboard and active members for 7/30 days to give some bonuses.
