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!

Tim Adam over in Pinterest Skool just announced a FREE live webinar happening Saturday, December 27th — and it’s honestly one of the best “start fresh for 2026” opportunities I’ve seen. He’s breaking down: • how to find the right Pinterest keywords • how to design pins that actually get clicks • how to write titles + descriptions that don’t disappear in 24 hours • and how to build traffic that keeps working while you live your life No paid upgrade required. No pressure. Just solid, evergreen strategy. If Pinterest has been sitting in your “I should probably learn this someday” pile… it's time to get in in the "I'm working on it" pile! 🌿 Let’s make burnout-free marketing the new normal. 📌💛 Join us here!

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! ⬇️

About 4 weeks ago, @Nick Nebelsky quietly mentioned that we were racing towards 1000 members, and I threw out the end of the year as a random goal to hit it... Since then, many of you have been doing amazing work referring as many people as possible. A special mention goes out to @Karen Castillo @Éva Raposa @Sondra Verva @Grant Hepworth and @Mona Weathers for the most referrals in the last month. As of December 28, we are 61 members away from reaching our goal. I'm not really one for random goals generally, but this one seems a little special for some reason. To ring out 2025 and ring in 2026 with 1000 members who are high-quality Skoolers committed to supporting each other, collaborating, and growing our businesses together seems exciting. Had I accepted everyone who requested to be a part of this group, we would easily be over 2,000 members by now, but instead, I've chosen to keep the group carefully curated, and I think the payoff has been well worth it. You can tell this group is special by the quality of the posts, the engaging comments, and the energy in our in-person meet ups! 😊 If you're up for it, I'd love your help in welcoming in 61 more amazing members to help us all grow together! Here's to an amazing 2026! 🎉
