Let's forget about the roast part for a bit and talk about how you can get promoted on Roast and Promote. - According to this poll, most people get more members by submiting posts to be roasted. People come to give you feedback, like what you have and subscribe to it. - You get pined posts at the top for being an engaged member. The first pined post is the Roaster of the week dedicated to the one who gave the best fedbacks the previous week. @Mike Tielemans just won this one and the scores are cleared for this week's competition. The second pined post is for the number 1 member in the 7 day leaderboard. You can put any link you want in this pined post, be it for your community, website, profiles or paid offers. - We got posts where you can pitch your stuff in fun and challenge ways like this one and this one. You can see that they are actually effective in making people interested in what you're offering while giving you sales practice. - The High Skool Cafeteria is where I'm organing tables to fit every single member in a specific niche. So when you join the community, you immediately get welcomed in a specific table and can check every one who has a similar business / community to yours to network and consider collaborations. You can always also check the High Skool post to check a categorized list of our members. - Premium members can do CTAs on posts selling themselves as solutions to the problems they point out, while having me tagging them on relevant posts for them to roast. VIP will have me doing the CTAs for them. More details here

If you don't know what Reddit is let me tell you: It's the biggest community platform in the world (if you consider a community platform as something separate from social media, like I do). It is among the top 10 most visited websites in the internet. It has lot of potential for making great conections and thanks to it I got a great high ticket client. Letit is a copy of Reddit, that I personaly find very interesting and promissing. Here is a complete breackdown of the pros and cons of each. ---> Reddit PROS: - It's a huge platform with all kinds of users. - If you look at the right places you will find very high quality conections that will be genuinely open to talk to you and give you opportunities you won't find anywhere else. - It's a SEO goldmine. What does that mean? It means that when someone googles an anwer to a question, if that question was answered on Reddit, it will be one of the first results. And if you're the one giving that answer, all the credit goes to you. That's how I got my client, by answering questions people made there. AI also loves using Reddit's answers as a reference. - You can find a community for every single niche there. There is a community for talking about eggs that has thousands of active users posting every day, for example. You will most definetelly find people talking about your very specific niche there. CONS: - It has a very anti consumerism culture. Advertizing under performs there compared to other social platforms. - For the reason above, getting clients on Reddit is very tricky. Self promotion is a sin. Any sort of CTA in your posts, as subtle as they might look, will get you downvoted to oblivion and sometimes even baned. You need a very specific approach for doing marketing there. - Moderation is very annoying and toxic in a lot of places. Reddit's moderators are volunteers with God complexes, that will a lot of times ban users for the most stupid reasons. - It's completely annonymous. You can use your name and photo there but that's not the culture. As a result, it's hard to build your brand using Reddit and also hard to find brands to compare to yours. Reddit is all about focusing on content and rejecting brands.

But you can increase your reach by crossposting in different platforms, with little additional effort. Don't need to make new content for each one of them. Repost, repurpose and test it out different places. I repurposed content for my community that I made on Reddit years before I even knew about Skool. And much of the same content can do very well on LinkedIn. Want to have a talk about that? I'll be live in around 3 hours at AI Storytellers, @Nick Nebelsky's community.
