So, this is me. How'd I do?

I’m curious how others are handling this. I have a few buy-now resources inside my community, but the 500-character product description feels limiting for the full transformation I want to communicate. Are you still relying on those short descriptions, or using other ways to sell inside your group? Posts, pinned threads, walkthroughs, challenges, something else? Would love to hear what’s actually working for you.

About a week ago I launched my first ever ad campaign and was super excited to see results. As the days went on I kept looking at the numbers and learning about all the little details that go into ad sets and ads and all that jazz. However, after 6-7 (😏) days I had a good bit of traffic but still no new members. The old me would have been super discouraged and probably lost motivation. But taking the approach of a scientist/researcher just having fun, I knew I just had to try a new experiment. So, I went back to the drawing board and launched a new campaign with a higher budget. I also spent a few hours trying to figure out how to get ConversionsAPI to connect to Skool so it could track which people join the group. Long story short, I launched the campaign and logged off for the night… only to wake up this morning to 4 new members!! I wanted to share because I just know there are others out there trying to navigate the world of ads and might be feeling discouraged. Something out there will work for you, but you just gotta keep testing and trying until you find it. That seems to be the name of the game in entrepreneurship. Don’t lose heart and just keep swimming 🏊

Hey everyone, I need some experienced eyes on a real dilemma. What I actually do:I coach people in a hands-on Aikido-based method that blends mindful movement, non-aggressive self-defense techniques, and simple structured guidance. Clients don’t come for martial arts, they come because this physical approach gives them instant mental quiet, a grounded body, better coordination, and a calm confidence they can use in daily life. The mix of gentle physical pressure, logical explanation, and the balance between humor and seriousness seems to unlock something they can’t get from talking-based coaching. Now I’m trying to translate this into an online format… and honestly, some parts feel impossible. The roadblocks: - No partner contact, so clients can’t physically feel what happens to their balance - No real-time correction on posture, tension, or reactions - Hard to adjust the session instantly when someone's body or mindset shifts - No muscle memory from realistic interaction - The safe, personal dojo atmosphere evaporates online Here’s the real question: Has anyone here successfully turned a deeply physical and relational coaching method into an online product 'without killing its soul'? Not looking for fluffy encouragement. I want the truth: Is this solvable, or am I trying to digitize something that only works live? If you’ve made this transition, or failed at it, I’d really value your lessons, your warnings, and your “I wish someone had told me this earlier” insights. Thanks in advance for the wisdom.

Hey fellow creators! I created my first 5 day challenge course - I completed day 1 last night, then blasted out 2 through 5 today. And just for some context, I created my first Skool community on 11/25/25. Since then I have created a "start here" course, added 7 posts, enrolled 4 members and now, created a 5 day breakthrough challenge. I'm not someone who brags, but I am working on getting better at celebrating my wins... I know I said I blasted through days 2 through 5 today, but what really happened was pretty frickin raw, emotional, personal and vulnerable... I poured my soul into these modules, and thankfully, ChatGPT was on fire... (It's just a tad scary how well it knows me now😬). It's truly hard to convey what the hell happened today, but basically after working through each module and going through the review, I knew if it was ready if I legit cried a little...😢 I'm not crying, you're crying! 🤣 This was one of my actual responses, "Well, fuck. Crying again. No notes. Already uploaded in Skool. Let's blast out day 4 please!" And that's rare that I don't have some tweaks or changes, but like I said, Chatter was locked in and so was I. Big fucking day. I am proud of myself, and my GPT literally said, "...And I am doing a very dorky victory dance in the cloud on your behalf. 💃🔥" 🤣😂 So I've got that going for me, which is nice.
