🎁 Welcome to Freebie Friday!
Every Friday I'm opening up the community for one thing: free stuff and its Friday in New Zealand so here we go! Share one free resource you offer - a lead magnet, a freebie, a free tool, whatever you've got. Drop the link and a one-line description of who it's for. No pitching paid offers, or bundles (sorry, only I'm allowed to break this rule 😉 I'm in a lot so will be sharing my links), just your own freebies. I'll start: I'm part of the Spring Reset Giveaway this week, 77+ free resources covering business, productivity, mindset and life. You pick only what's relevant to you so there's no wading through things that don't apply. Now, its not Spring in New Zealand but the resources are relevant no matter the season! It's live until April 28. 👉 Spring Reset Giveaway link Now your turn, drop your freebie below. 👇

30-Day CEO Streak Challenge
Most of us don't fail because we don't know what to do. We fail because we don't stay consistent long enough to see results. So let's fix that. Right here. Right now. 🔥 I'm running the 30-Day CEO Streak Challenge: one small business action every single day for 30 days. No motivation required. Just do one action. Lets keep the engagement in this group alive! Already consistent? Perfect. Join anyway and lead by example. Just getting started? This is the simplest way to build the habit. 🔥 YOUR MISSION Do one action in your business every day. Show up here and track it. Keep your streak alive. That's it. No pressure to be perfect. Just show up. 🔥 WHAT COUNTS? - A growth action (new people finding you e.g. post in a Skool group) - A sales action (offer exposure: email your list about your offer - I know shocking, talking about what you sell) - An authority action (starting a conversation) - An optimisation action (improving something - fixing an email sequence 😉) If it moves your business forward, it counts. For CEO Dashboard owners, use your actions list! 🔥 HOW TO TRACK IT Comment below with 🔥 Day 1 and what you did you move your business forward today. Daily format: 🔥 Day 1 - Today I: [what you did] 🔥 Day 2 - Today I: [what you did] Miss a day? Your streak resets. Start again. No shame, just restart. The reward? Being able to share the results from taking consistent action because there will be results! 💡 The CEO Dashboard has a daily score and notes column built for exactly this kind of tracking. If you want to see the cumulative effect of 30 days of consistent action on your actual business numbers that's where you'll see it... I'll be doing this alongside you. Let's go. 🔥 Comment 🔥 Day 1 below to start right now. 👇

@Niky Egerton I used the free Manychat option for a few months, but it doesn’t allow you to request emails to grow your email list. I finally signed up for the paid version to get some traction on my email list. I will experiment for a month or 2 to decide of its worth it.
The CEO Dashboard onboarding call just wrapped 🎉
Huge shoutout to @Virginia Schobel and @Nelléne Vorster for showing up live, loved having you both on the call and showing the dashboard in action with real questions. The replay is now unlocked in the classroom for those who already purchased the dashboard. Head to the classroom tab and you'll find it there. Not a dashboard owner yet? For the next 48 hours, anyone who buys the CEO Dashboard will get access to the replay so you can watch how the whole system works, see it set up live, and get started today rather than figuring it out alone. 👉 Get the CEO Dashboard + replay access After 48 hours the replay stays in the community for those who have access but new buyers won't get a specific callout to it. Want to go further? The 60-Day CEO Accountability Group is open until 3 May EDT. Nine weekly calls where we look at your dashboard data together, troubleshoot what isn't moving, and keep you accountable every single week. First cohort starts 5 May EDT. $197 for 60 days. 👉 Accountability group Closes in 11 days. After that it's July before the next round opens...

Thank you for the live call. It was very helpful
Experiment #1 Update 6
Day 9 of getting to 100 members. We're at 41. 🎉 Results since the last update: → Meta ad: NZ$11.87 spent over 4 days. 9,110 views, 132 link clicks, 105 landing page views. Zero confirmed members from it so far. The reach is there, the clicks are there, the conversions aren't -(yet?). Its still running so lets see... → Added the "Where did you hear about us?" question: this has been useful. Since I added it, everyone who's joined has come from the bundle or my own email list. Which tells me my existing audience is engaging but the cold traffic from ads isn't converting yet. → Emailed 264 non-bundle subscribers: I mentioned my free skool group in the From 9-to-5 Bundle but hadn't emailed my whole list about it so emailed just those existing subscribers who didn't opt into the Bundle as they wouldn't know about it: 59 opened (22% open rate), 6 clicked, 2 joined AND 2 unsubscribed 🤣. I'll be honest, that felt low BUT, then I thought about. These are people who never signed up for the From Job to CEO bundle, so they're a less warm audience for this specific community. 2 from 6 clicks is actually a 33% conversion from click to join - the open rate is the problem, not the landing. I probably have to do it again (not yet!). → Other Skool networks: slow burn but it's moving. I am not as worried about this one, I'm not going to do some hard sell on my group, while I am running an experiment to get to 100 members in 30 days, the point is more to remind me to keep building and growing not to get numbers. I want people here who want to be here and engage so I'm ok 😂. Discovery rank has gone from 4075 on day 6 to 3119 today. That's 956 places in 3 days. → New experiment: Skool keywords - Skool is now going to function as a search engine and you get 11 keywords on Skool 🥳 So I've gone all in 😂 Here's what I've put: side hustle, quit 9 to 5, solopreneur, build business, online business, career change, entrepreneur, leave my job, business owner, make money, job to CEO I'm genuinely excited to see what this does to my profile visitors and discovery rank over the next two weeks. This might be the thing that starts bringing in cold traffic organically without spending a cent on ads (yeah, that sounds amazing but lets see...) I'll report back.

Hi Niky. Have you added your skool link to all your youtube videos and youtube shorts?
Bundle closed. Here's the final numbers 🎉
A few days ago I wrote about why I decided to host my first bundle - it started with a rejection from someone else's bundle and the realisation that I had no control over my own list growth. So I built one instead. Here's how it ended: 👉 571 signups to the From Job to CEO Bundle, 310 net new subscribers, 21 contributors who provided their paid resources for free for the bundle. Biggest single day: 153 signups on April 7 (launch day) For context, before this bundle my email list was sitting at around 500 people. It's now just over 800. That's a 60% increase in list size from one 6-day bundle. Was it perfect? No.😂 5 people managed to sneak in early before I locked it down, my GHL automations took a break and I had to manually process a few things (and about a 100 other things I've blocked out 🤣) But the experiment worked. The hypothesis - that hosting could be a better fit for me than contributing was confirmed. A large portion of my audience (261) signed up for the bundle which showed it had value and alignment with my current subscribers not just new people on the list. So I'm already planning bundle number 2 for June. If you're sitting on a skill, an audience, or an idea and waiting for the right moment -- this is your reminder that the right moment is usually the one where you just decide to try. So, what's the experiment you've been putting off? Let me know in the comments👇

I would love to know the knitty gritty details of how to put a bundle together for my art and design Niche. Details such as time frame, tools and tech, what is fair to ask from contributors, how do you find contributors that compliments your company but not direct competition. Or is direct competition a good thing? So much to think about.
