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! 🟢Here are the top 3 ways I grew my group to 1000. (507 in 30 days) 1️⃣ First was clear and easy Affiliate Program: Here’s exactly how it happened: 1. Weekly Affiliate Challenges 🎯 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 📌✨ I gave everyone plug-and-play text + Canva graphics to promote the free community. No one had to start from scratch — they just copied, swapped their link, and posted. Made it dead easy for affiliates to spread the word. 2️⃣ Being active in other groups! Show up and make real connections! No tips.... just do it! 3️⃣ 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 — 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.

A 1:1 meeting with @David Iya Sharing this makes me a bit nervous because once people truly understand who this man is (his expertise, his character, his heart for community), he's going to be even busier than he already is. He might need to clone himself. During our call, I witnessed something extraordinary. As one of my first official Skool meetings, I got to see him hit page 1 in real time. He was scrolling, saw it happen, and we both froze. The man may have teared up. I definitely did. His first words? "I can't wait to show my wife." That moment showed me exactly who David is as a person. I'm certain this wasn't his first major win and won't be his last. Working with him, I know it won't be my last either. Onwards and upwards, @DavidIya I'm supper happy what you achieved today.

Avengers Assemble! - First of all, I want to say thank you to each and every one of you who helped me reach this level. - I’m genuinely grateful, truly. This comes straight from the heart. I joined because of @David Iya, but I stayed because of all of you. So thank you so much, BBC members ❤️ - Our community is only 40 days old, and we’ve already grown to 1.5k members. That’s insane, the power of community! - And now… I’ve unlocked the superpower to DM 👀

I'm gonna be super honest... I am very hesitant on booking "free" calls with anyone. Even if I really love what they're offering. Why? B/c I've been on so many and for the amount of value I get...I don't have the energy to say no to an offer of being upsold...truth be told. I can be weak. But for some reason. @David Iya's vibe in the community and invite to book a call did not give off the sense that I would need to do that. I booked it for the next day and I want to share with you that the call was personal, inspiring, eye-opening and extremely valuable for the time spent chatting. For anyone looking to grow their Skool community...it will undoubtedly provide another step in the right direction of growth for you! I'll tell ya this! What sets @David Iya apart from a lot of other community owners is his humbleness, true desire to make a change and impact...and coming from a very authentic heart centered place. I honestly didn't know what I was gonna get out of the call and what I got out of it was more than I could have expected. So much value and clarity. Thank you @David Iya for pouring your heart and soul into your work. It shows! 💖 Here's to you getting into better wifi zone soon! 🤣
