A niche is a specific type of group that you specialize in helping. The whole point of niching down is creating an authority to solve a very specific problem. I see a lot of people not getting that and niching down for no reason. - Good Niching Down: Creating Social Media AI Agents for Law Firms. Law firms will go for you because you specialize in their industry. - Bad Niching Down: Baking Recepies for 50+ Males: This is not a specialty. It's just restriction for restriction's sake. What is your niche? Are you niching down to build authority or is there any other reason to do it?

@Paulo Costa, The Roaster shared a great post in the Skoolers community, and I think this is also very valuable for our members who don't have a community yet. The content of the post is valuable, but it is also valuable because it shows you how you can post in other peoples communities, without self-promo. It shows his knowledge, and it creates interest for what he is doing inside his community 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁 👇 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗢𝗻𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 = 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 That's something I'm realizing more and more about how important it is. My onboarding process is very crucial to how fast people will engage in my community or if they will engage at all. In the case of skool, the onboarding usually starts at the membership questions. With it you can get an initial idea of how to direct your members to the best action they can take. After I accept the new member I send them a DM customized to what they need. I keep it short and casual, as I tend myself to ignore long scripted DMs myself. In the DM I link to a post explaining the basics of the community and the one action I want them to take as soon as they enter. That one action has to be a win win scenario, not something that feels like homework. Just asking for them to introduce themselves is too little, asking to participate in a whole sprint is too much. I ask for something that they can do quickly and immediately understand the value of the community. Once they do, they are hooked!

Remember: You're not competing with anyone. Skool is large enough for everyone to win. 📝𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 + 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐩 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲: 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 1: Join the Top 10 Communities in Your Niche or any community with more than ~100 people online at any given time. Don't just lurk. Participate. Study what they're doing. 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 2: Identify Their Gaps: What questions go unanswered? What content is missing? What problems do members complain about? (If they have a category for help / support, go answer questions there) 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 3: Fill Those Gaps in YOUR Community: They lack personalized feedback? You give 1-on-1 attention. They have too much content? You keep it simple. They're too expensive? Be free or cheaper. 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 4: Show Up in Their Comments: Answer questions. Be helpful. Don't pitch. Add value. 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 5: Let Your ICP Come to You: Your profile says what you do. If you're valuable, they'll find you. This strategy helped me get ~47 members in a week all from skool. The key is being undeniably helpful in the space you're in. When you solve problems others don't, people migrate. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 1. Join 3 top communities this week. 2. Answer 5 questions in each. Be the most helpful person in the comments. 3. Watch them follow you home. Let me know if you have any questions! Cheers 🥂

If you think about starting a new community, feel free to use my link and gain a consulting call to set all up plus free premium access to Roast & Promote, meaning you can use it to call people to yours, as premium members can sell themselves while giving roasts! I also gave more of those ideas there and can give you better ones on how to manage yours if you submit it! I've been helping clients plan and implement communities for the past 2 years, and these are just some of the ideas that I already had: #1: YouTube Directory: - Self promotion space for YouTubers. Anyone can post a video and choose a category for their channel. The idea is helping people who are just starting to get visibility on their channels. - Limited to one post a day, doing a CTA for their channel - The most engaged members get their channels pined at the top. Just like in my community, this will be an incentive for people to be active and comment on other people's posts instead of just posting and ditching. It can be simpler than the way that I do it, and simply pick the top 3 members from the last 7 days in the leaderboards. It can be a daily thing, so each day you can take away the spot of someone who is in the top 3. - Paid members will have their channels categorized and displayed in directories at the classroom - 1:1 consulting calls and infoproducts for YouTubers can be sold as a one time purchase - Great potential also for affiliate marketing of editing software and gear for YouTubers and filmmakers. You can have a directory with the software and equipment you recommend. #2 AI Video Factory - The owner buys licenses for AI video software like VEO, higgsfield, heygen and ElevenLabs. The community is paid upfront. - Each tier will get access to a number of AI videos you can make for them. For example, premium members get one small video made for them per week during a live call. VIP can have longer videos made. - That way instead of paying for an expensive subscription and figuring everything out yourself, you could pay a fraction of the value to get weekly videos made from a bundle of tools for a fraction of the price. - The owner could price it in a way to get a ROI for his investiment with 3 or 4 members. That way, he would make 3 or 4 videos a week for his members and get his licenses paid. All the rest would be profit.
