I use this often when I remember what someone does or helps with but cannot remember their name. 🗓️ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸? - Today: I will walk you through how to set up a course, folders, and pages (see video below). - Tomorrow: You will have access to a custom GPT created by our own @sondraverva to help you create the main copy for your ad. 🙋 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 - Share below: Which of the five reasons is most important to you for creating a classroom ad, and why? 🌟 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗲𝘁? If you are not a premium member yet, what are you waiting for??? It’s only $3/month, and the ability to place an ad in the classroom is only one of the many perks!

I’ve been working behind the scenes on something new for the Classifieds, and I’m genuinely excited to finally share it. Over time, it’s become clear that some members are ready for more than visibility alone. You want deeper collaboration, stronger relationships, and real opportunities to grow alongside other committed Skool community owners. That’s why I’m opening applications for a VIP Tier of the Classifieds, designed for members who want to be more actively involved in collaboration, cross-promotion, and shared problem-solving, not just posting and hoping for the best. 𝗔𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽. This is a small, curated peer group (limited to 10–15 people) for Skool community owners who are ready to: - Increase visibility in intentional, aligned ways - Collaborate and cross-promote with other group owners - Learn from real, lived experience (what’s actually working, not theory) - Solve problems together and build momentum as a group This is not a coaching program or a traditional mastermind, it's a facilitated, peer-based environment where contribution, participation, and follow-through matter. What’s Included in the VIP Tier? In addition to access to the Collaboration Action Group, VIP members receive: - 𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝗻𝗲 - Especially helpful for owners with more than one community or offer. - 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵- A consistent opportunity to teach, share your expertise, and be discovered by new people. - 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗽-𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 - A great way to increase visibility, awareness, and authority by leading connection and conversation in the group. - 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗧𝘂𝗯𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 - VIP members may be invited to be interviewed on a new YouTube channel I’m launching, building on my experience hosting a top-rated podcast. The purpose is to highlight Skool community creators who are building something meaningful and are open to sharing what they’ve learned along the way.

From Dec 28 - Jan 28, we are holding a friendly, fun competition to see who can make the most referrals to the Classifieds. It's good-natured way to grow the group together so that we can all win! More members = more visibility = more growth. The grand prize is a 72-hour pinned post, second prize is a 48-hour pinned post, and third prize is a 24-hour pinned post. If three people tie for first place, there will be no second and third prizes - they will all get 72-hour posts. It's still anyone's game, so get in there! Even if you don't have Skoolers in your own group (members must have their own active Skool group), you may still be in other groups with Skoolers who are looking for enhanced visibility, feedback, community growth, and an amazing group of people to connect and collaborate with. Don't forget to use your personalized invitation link, which can be found in the right sidebar under the current active members. Oh! And remember that this is an affiliate link, so you earn a 30% commission if your invitee upgrades to premium or VIP (coming soon). Here are the standings: @Nick Nebelsky 5 @Heather Di Rocco 5 @Diana Frank 5 @Jake Hill 5 @Paulo Costa, The Roaster 4 @Heather Wilson 4 @Katrina Wright 3 @Ivan Ivanov 3 @Kat Oakley 3 @Mona Weathers 3 @Julie Nelson 3 There are too many people with 1-2 referrals to report on, but you are all still in the running. Let's do this together!

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!
