One of my written goals for 2026 is to reach 2000 members. Yesterday I hit 1000 members...... halfway to my goal on the 13th day of the year! I would like to thank a few people here that have me grow my group over the last 30 days. First my wife (not in this group) for her support and ideas for engaging posts! Second all of my amazing members who show up, comment, like, and share the group all over! @Heather Boers @Lynice Bamm @Nat J. @Ina Tenniswood these are just a few... If you are an active member and you are here in let me know! Third: @Joseph Groom Over at Skool Hub for creating a place to connect and promote! Last but not least, @David Iya for the motivation and ideas to scale my business in 2026! ๐ขHere are the top 3 ways I grew my group to 1000. (507 in 30 days) 1๏ธโฃ First was clear and easy Affiliate Program: Hereโs exactly how it happened: 1. Weekly Affiliate Challenges ๐ฏ Every Monday I posted a simple challenge for affiliates: Top referrer each week won a 30-min 1-on-1 call with me. Result: Affiliates sent consistent traffic all month long. 2. Ready-to-Use Swipe Copy & Graphics ๐โจ I gave everyone plug-and-play text + Canva graphics to promote the free community. No one had to start from scratch โ they just copied, swapped their link, and posted. Made it dead easy for affiliates to spread the word. 2๏ธโฃ Being active in other groups! Show up and make real connections! No tips.... just do it! 3๏ธโฃ I ran a few ads on Pinterest! ( spent $20 in the past 30 days!) - Pinterest acts like a visual search engine where people actively hunt for solutions (courses, communities, tools), so ads reach buyers with high intent instead of passive scrollers. - One well-targeted ad can keep driving traffic and new Skool members for months or even years โ unlike most platforms where content dies after 24 hours. - With low competition and strong buyer mindset, Pinterest ads deliver some of the highest ROI for Skool owners looking to fill their groups without constant manual outreach.
