Let’s spread the love! IN THE COMMENTS BELOW…. For #FriendFriday, recommend a Skool group or program that is not yours that you think would be valuable for the group. Then, send your friend a message letting them know you mentioned them here. 😊 Provide context and not just the link, please.

As we roll over to a new year and enter the comma club (in terms of members) it seems fitting that this is also a good time to introduce a new moderator! Please help me in welcoming @Faith Adebayo who will be joining @Mona Weathers as moderators for this group. Both have a wealth of experience leading groups, have been around the CLASSIFIEDS since the beginning, and I am so grateful that they have both agreed to help out with ensuring the CLASSIFIEDS is a positive, supportive place where you want to hang out. I think this is also a great time to clarify some of the guidelines that people get confused about: 1. Posts in the community are for free offers (paid Skool groups are fine). 2. Paid offers must be posted in the Classroom (you can link to the classroom from the community). You can do this by becoming a Premium member. 3. You can post once a day in any category, NOT once a day in each category. If you have more than one group, you still only get one post a day. This is to prevent the feed from getting clogged up. 4. You must promote yourself (and you must be the one doing the posting - not a VA, admin, etc). Affiliate links and shoutouts are reserved for the #FriendFriday thread. 5. Absolutely not promotional DMs or DMs inviting people to join your group - this is grounds for immediate removal from the group. The whole purpose of the group is to promote yourself, so please do it in the public feed. I'm so looking forward to seeing what everyone creates this year, how everyone collaborates, and most importantly getting to know you all more through our meet ups, which you can find on the calendar. Don't forget that you are able to earn affiliate commission by using your personalized invite link in the right panel. Let's do this, team!

Most creators and business owners don’t have a work ethic problem… They have a leaky bucket problem. 🧠 The Strategy = HOW You Pour Into the Bucket Your strategy is where, when, and how you pour the water. Examples: - Long-form YouTube instead of random posting - One clear lead magnet instead of five half-built ones - Sending traffic to community before selling Strategy answers: - What goes in first? - What matters most right now? - Where is the leverage? You can have a bucket — but pour in the wrong place and it still won’t fill. 🔧 The Process = HOW THE WATER FLOWS Your process is the repeatable action that moves water consistently. This is: - Your upload routine - Your onboarding flow - Your weekly engagement rhythm - Your offer promotion cadence Process turns: “I know what to do” into “This happens every week without me overthinking it.” No process = inconsistent results. 🚨 Where Most People Get Stuck Most creators/online business owners: - Keep pouring more water (more content, more effort) - Instead of fixing the bucket They think: - “I need more traffic” - “I need to post more” - “I need a new offer” When really: - The bucket has holes - The strategy is scattered - The process isn’t repeatable 🔁 What Growth Actually Looks Like Growth happens when: - 🪣 The bucket is solid (SYSTEM) - 🧠 You pour with intention (STRATEGY) - 🔧 The flow is repeatable (PROCESS) That’s when: - Less effort creates more results - Momentum compounds - Burnout disappears Inside Next Level Creator Hub, we don’t just pour harder — we build better buckets. It's FREE to join! P.S. I asked Notebook LM to make me a visual for this metaphor. 😊

I’ve been asked why I limit the posting in this group to once a day, and the answer is for the same reason that I limit how much I personally post in this group each day (I try really hard to limit myself to 2!)…. It’s to protect your visibility. The goal of this group is to help you become as visible as possible. If people are able to post as often as they want, one person could easily clog the feed with their own posts and push everyone else down to lower pages. By limiting everyone to one post a day, everyone gets time on the first page, the quality of the posts goes up, and the overall feel is more conversational and less spammy. Thoughts???

Get your typing fingers ready.... it's Friend Friday!!!! That means that IN THE COMMENTS BELOW, you get to shout out a group that has provided value to you or that you think others would benefit from. But don't just drop a link, give us some context. Let us know what it's amazing, how it has helped you, or what type of person it's meant for. Then tag the person or send them a DM to let them know that you mentioned them here! You'll make their weeking - I promise. 😊 Unfortunately, shoutouts that are posted in the main feed will be deleted. Have a great weekend!
