In my communities I love posting these meme check ins that are usually totally unrelated but give me great insight without anyone having to “say” more than they really need or want to Soooo with the holidays approaching and just life life-ing how are you really feeling Aligned AF Camp

I go in and out with the concept of affiliate marketing. When I dig into the numbers I made $2800 in affiliate marketing on Skool passively in 2025. Not much, right? Here's what I've learned: - Most of that came from 2-3 communities I am a member in. - ...and in the last few months of 2025 - I made $550 in an hour helping @Anna Sabino launch her community - They are all high growth communities - None of my affiliates are leaving those communities - - so the monthly recurring revenue will continue to grow so long as I don't leave - It works...so all I need to do is share more Makes sense. How are you using your affiliate marketing on Skool?

Here we go. #1 — Who I am I’m Michele Lefler. I’m a librarian by training and trade, and I run my own work as Your Personal Librarian. That means I help people sort their lives the way you’d sort a messy library. What stays. What goes. What gets a new label. What gets put back where it belongs. Most of the people I work with are thoughtful, sensitive, smart, tired humans. A lot of them are self-employed. A lot of them are in life shifts. Money, grief, meaning, work, and nervous systems are always in the mix. I’m based in the U.S., in a small town library world that keeps me very grounded in real people with real problems. #2 — Where I want more clarity right now I’m craving cleaner lines between what is mine to hold and what is not. In work. In friendship. In care. I’m very good at being the steady one. I’m getting better at letting myself be held too. That’s the alignment I’m working on. #3 — What keeps me grounded Water. Always water. The ocean when I can get to it. Rivers and lakes when I can’t. Being near moving water settles my whole body in a way nothing else does. It reminds me that things keep flowing even when I feel stuck. That’s where I reset.

Last week, I did something that felt both strategic and deeply personal. I transferred ownership of my “faceless” Skool community to my primary account and rebranded it. Before the rebrand I had 93 midlife woman in the community, — all of whom joined through a faceless Instagram account. Now they are joining from both my faceless instagram and my original instagram. I can say that being faceless is safe. Being visible changes the energy. On the tech-side it was not so hard - I got good support from Skool. Here’s what actually mattered in this transition: 1️⃣ Ownership changes authority, not just admin rights When your name is on the community, members subconsciously recalibrate. They’re no longer following “content” — they’re following you. That shift alone raises trust and expectations. 2️⃣ Rebranding is emotional, not just visual A new name or identity isn’t about fonts and colors. It’s about alignment. 3️⃣ Visibility introduces nervous system work Going from faceless → visible isn’t a marketing move .For me it was an identity expansion. 4️⃣ The community didn’t reset — I did The members didn’t suddenly expect a different experience. I did. This shift matters to me because it brings my inner and outer goals into the same lane. Who I am becoming and the business I’m growing no longer need separate strategies. That kind of alignment changes how you lead.
