Thank you again for your participation in the challenge and your patience while I got the glitch worked out with Skool. All submitted ads are now posted, and the winner of the 48-hour pinned post has been chosen! I'm attaching the video below so you can see how I chose. Congratulations @Quentin Williams ! Please reach out to me via DM to coordinate your post. And if you haven't submitted your ad yet, it's not too late. Premium members can submit at any time. 😊

I have the amazing opportunity to announce that @Mimi Ramsey has agreed to join us all the way from Bali, so we now pretty much have 24/7 moderator support for this amazing community. Mimi is an absolute powerhouse when it comes to building communities that are full of personality and that represent your unique uniqueness! I'm really excited that she has agree to join the team, and I can't wait to have her present her own masterclass for you all. In addition, I want to sincerely thank @Mona Weathers for all of her work as the first CLASSIFIEDS moderator. She believed in this group from day one, championed it, and helped me build it into what it is today! Mona has had such incredible success in her own community that she has had to step down as moderator here so that she can support her own members fully, but she is still here, and you will still see her around. 😊 As you already know, @Faith Adebayo recently joined the moderator team and has been doing an incredible job supporting everyone in the comments and most especially bringing us very valuable information through her masterclass about how to increase our visibility through our CLASSIFIEDS posts! Faith will continue to work with me and Mimi as we have now grown to a team of 3!!! Please help me congratulate the effervescent @Mimi Ramsey on her new role!

One of the most important things I've learned since becoming an online entrepreneur is that the most important thing you can do to grow your business is to build relationships. Many of us (myself included) have rushed to promote our groups and services that we care so deeply about. And it only makes sense - we are excited about what we are doing! Today, I'd like to invite you to take a step back and introduce yourself to the group by answering the following questions: 1. Who are you personally? 2. Who are you professionally? 3. What is something you love doing outside of work? 4. What is something surprising about you? As you open up and make more connections, you will find that not only are people more interested in what you do, but they will also be more interested in helping you make connections with other people they know! 😉 After you introduce yourself, please scroll through the other introductions and add a comment to someone you have something in common with or would like to know more about. 😊 Please add your introduction in the comments below! ⬇️

Bonus points for anyone who can guess the word I blanked on in this video! Put your guesses in the comments. 😂 I mention @Michele McAlister ’s masterclass as being tomorrow. It’s on Tuesday, which might be today by the time you read this. 😉

It's that time of the week when I share the numbers with you. The only reason I do this is because some of the members early on asked for it, and since the group is about visibility, I thought it made sense! # Members Total: 1241 #Premium Members: 203 Percentage of members who are premium: 16.4% Conversion Rate: 26.3% Ranking in Money: #21 Ranking Overall: #79 Highest Activity Day: 3274 Lowest Activity Day: 849 The Context: Overall, I am very happy with all of these numbers. It's been incredible to see us climb the charts after losing the star during Christmas. The conversion rate is especially strong... I would like to see the percentage of premium members increase, and perhaps with our premium member challenge next week, we'll see more of you choose to join us! Our highest activity day was the Monday of the Posting Party last week with our lowest activity day being yesterday, Sunday, which is typical for this group. The News: - VIP applications are now open until Feb 13, and you can apply in the pinned post in the community. - @Michele McAlister is doing a free masterclass in this community tomorrow called Why Eating Less Isn't Working - check out the calendar. - I'm doing an info session on the VIP tier on Thursday - @Faith Adebayo is doing a masterclass on getting the most out of your CLASSIFIEDS posts on Friday - The Premium Classroom Ad Sprint will be starting on Monday.
