This is a fun one. This morning, I received a DM from @Joe Hache because he has created a mascot for the skool CLASSIFIEDS. Meet "CLASSY"! I'm sure you'll love her as much as I do. Thanks, Joe! You can check out Joe's community, The Creative Jukebox here.

We've got some exciting things happening this week that you'll definitely want to mark on your calendar. Check out the CLASSIFIEDS' calendar for the exact times in your time zone. 🙌 On Tuesday, we have the second PERSONALS of the month, which means it is our Breakout to Breakthrough session - when we discuss a topic of interest to the members and learn what others are doing to grow their communities. This week, we'll be discussing community reviews. To become a Premium member and join us, please click the Upgrade button in the side panel. It's only $3/month, but the price is going up to $5/month in September, so lock in your pricing now! 🎊 On Wednesday, our VIP group is having an ad hoc meeting to discuss customer journeys, monetization, and funnels. You will note that there is no option to upgrade to VIP. That is because it is by application only and it opens only once a quarter. The next round of applications open August 27. Make sure you are following me so that you don't miss that announcement! 🥳 Last but certainly not least, our once in a quarter free-for-all is happening on Friday!!! The Back To School Bonanza is a 24-hour posting party. Beginning at midnight Eastern on the 21st and ending at 11:59 pm Eastern on the same day, you will have the opportunity to post once an hour every hour promoting ANYTHING you want - paid, free, on Skool, off Skool, etc. There are only two rules: you can only post once and hour AND for every post you make, you must comment on at least three other posts. So, if you are using a posting scheduler, make sure you also save time in your day to comment accordingly. There is NO posting and 👻 allowed! So, a fun week ahead to round out the summer. I can't wait to connect with you all!

Ever wonder how you can let people know about your Skool community? Feel like you have so much to offer but don't know how to get people involved? Wish there was somewhere you were actually allowed to promote yourself and talk about your offer? Look no further! The Skool Classifieds are the place where you are not only allowed to promote yourself, but you are actually encouraged to do so! Like the Classifieds section of your local newspaper or the Community Message Board at the gym, this is the place to let people know what you do and what you offer. Here's how it works: 1. Invite other Skoolers you know to join the group using your invite link. The more people join, the more people there are to promote to! 2. You can post once a day only. This is to keep the group from getting spammy. If it's spammy, people won't read and you won't get noticed. Post as many days in a row as you want, but please do not post the same thing day after day - mix it up! 3. Make sure you add your post to the appropriate group/heading. Please see below for a description of what each group is for. If you don't see a group that is appropriate, message me. 4. Self-Promotion is what this group is all about, but please do not DM people with your offers. You will be removed from the group for doing this. 5. Introduce yourself in this thread, and then scroll up and find someone you have something in common with. Reach out. There are some really amazing people here! 😉 This is a place for us to support each other for our mutual benefit. Hate speech, offensive language, or general negativity will be deleted, and you will be removed from the group. *Please check out this post for more tips on how to get great results from your posts. And also this post by one of our own community members who has had great success growing his group through the CLASSIFIEDS.
