I'm launching a LT offer ⚡️
My goal is to launch a LT offer to a brand-new community, drive eyeballs and conversions to get Growth Boost cranking for me, and do 100% of selling through DMs. If y'all are interested in specifics, maybe I could talk more about this? PS— ALL ADVICE WELCOME! Please help me make this a 10/10 launch ⚡️

@Donna Thornton Their initial investment is what gets them from "interested in fitness" to "invested in fitness." After helping over 650 other guys with a free fitness offer, I've noticed that investment tends to equal better engagement and results. I've even noticed this in myself: Paying for a program helps me stay locked in, but only using free programs tends to fall off fast. It makes the discomfort of a fitness offer worth enduring, compared to a free offer. And the HT offer only comes later, when someone has needs for higher support/customization levels. The LT gives them a program to follow; the HT builds a lifestyle that sticks with it for good.

@Donna Thornton Agreed! Tangibly, they immediately receive access to the training program they’ve bought. Community-wise, the onboarding gives them a “Locker,” somewhere to track their journey. They’ll get personal outreaches, encouragement from the others in the group, and immediately start setting records in the gym. On top of that, we’ll run friendly competitions with real-world prizes, so there are stakes for effort AND outcomes. And everyone is constantly competing to get their name on a “Trophy Room” board (a classroom page with pinned posts as people share wins). All of this means the community is about THEIR success, not particularly MY programming, even though that’s what they’re initially buying.
📓 RESEARCH NOTES: When Does Onboarding Actually End?
As we've been looking more closely at onboarding, we've moved beyond Start Here posts, welcome messages, and what someone is told to do first. We've been thinking about the experience of being new. And one question keeps coming up for us... When does onboarding actually end? Is it when someone... 👋 joins the community? 📌 reads Start Here? 💬 introduces themselves? 📚 opens the first resource? 📅 attends something? Those are all things we can see and measure. But someone could do every one of them and still be wondering... 💙 What am I supposed to do here? 💙 Where do I fit? 💙 Who are these people? 💙 What happens next? Which made us wonder if we've sometimes thought about onboarding in terms of what a member completes rather than what changes for the member.🤔 Maybe the better question isn't... Did they finish onboarding? Maybe it's... Do they still feel new? And that's what we're sitting with today. Think about the newest members in your own community. What would you notice that would tell you they no longer feel like a newcomer? We're curious about what you would actually look for. 🔬🐼

@Oddysey Campbell Yes!

@Kathy Adams Ooh good question. And I agree, it doesn't really end overall. I'd argue it ends for one thing and transitions to the next.

BOOM Great analogy, clear breakdown. Thanks Todd!
New Live Call Times, New Session, and One Bold Prediction
We've heard from a number of you about the timing of our live sessions, so we're trying something a little different this week to accommodate as many people as possible. Both events land on Wednesday, August 26. The Build Room, 12:00 p.m. Central Premium and VIP members. Bring what you're working on and let's get it built. What's Working on Skool: Q&A, 2:00 p.m. Central Our inaugural session, and it's open to everyone. Come with your questions about what's actually moving the needle on Skool right now, and we'll work through them together. If the new times work better for you, say so in the comments. If they still don't, tell us that too. We're paying attention. And before all that, keep an eye on Tuesday's weekly Skool update. I have a prediction about what's going to dominate the conversation on our Wednesday call. It starts with an E and it ends with a Y, with a C tucked in front, and I'll tell you why. On Tuesday at noon it will show up on screen, and the comments will be the loudest you've seen. Bonus points for the comment section. Give me a word that starts with an E and ends in a Y. One that has never been heard on Skool News, and never used to describe a community.
