Challenge Day 2 #FriendFriday 🎉
I didn't want to leave #FriendFriday out of the challenge. It's the perfect way to build relationships and support each other! In the COMMENTS BELOW, please share a Skool community you think is doing really great things. It can be one you've participated in yourself or one that you've heard from others is amazing. Please do the following: 1. Tell us the name of the community and link to it (affiliates allowed). 2. Tag the person who owns the community. If they are not in the CLASSIFIEDS, then please send them a DM and let them know that you mentioned them here. I promise you will make their day! 3. Describe why the group is so wonderful and how it has helped you. Please DO NOT just copy and paste the About page! 4.

I've been unwittingly committing a terrible crime. Were it not for @Shannon Boyer's Classifieds Headline challenge earlier, I might not have had this massive epiphany today. My wits have returned and this is the lesson I have learned. Strap in. WIth all this chatter about Growth Boost and keywords and discovery rankings, I forgot my own advice. The advice that brings me clients. And brings my clients clients. "Your brand starts with you. And YOU—your true, unfettered self–will attract your most loyal squad." And what did me ignoring that advice result in? A community About page that might as well have said "blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah" for the entire 1000 character limit. Doing the headline challenge I let loose. I wasn't writing for the algorithm. I was writing for people. And while the feedback made me grin ear to ear, it also smacked me upside the head. I don't think my About page has EVER gotten that sort of response 🤣 Here's another thing I challenge my clients with: If someone read a piece of your content (your homepage, a post, an email), and your name or logo wasn't attached to it, would they know IMMEDIATELY, without a shred of doubt, that YOU wrote it? (It's a great little test. I highly recommend giving it a try.) So I marched my fingers over to my About page and asked myself the same question. The answer was a resounding... NOPE. If you've seen my brand colors, you'll know they're hot pink, neon green (the fancy name is chartreuse haha), black and white. My About page was the equivalent of beige on beige on beige. Yikes! Completely devoid of my personality. My evil twin in a way. 😈 So I corrected that. Because yes, the robots index your assets, raise your rank, and boost your visibility, but it's HUMANS who opt in, engage and buy. Not the artificial non-intelligents. Humans. Quirky. Weird. Funny. Charming. Irrational. Passionate. Lovely humans.

HOW IT WORKS - READ THIS FIRST
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. To learn How to Make Your Classifeds' Posts Work Harder for You, check out this masterclass by one of our moderators, @Faith Adebayo

130+ community members on launch week thanks to Shannon's advice.
A couple of months ago I sat down to interview @Shannon Boyer on my show Podcasting Business School. I wasn't all-in on Skool....I was more Skool-curious. After 45 minutes of blasting her with all of my newbie Skool launch questions...I decided I was going to give it a whirl. Right now I'm 4 days into my official group launch with 130+ members, lots of engagement, and I'm racking up the MRR $$$. The pendulum has completely swung over and I'm now all-in on Skool! If you want to listen to the exact strategies that Shannon gave me.....please go and enjoy episode 628 of Podcasting Business School.

How I Learned to See The Positives
You can choose to be two kinds of people: 1. You can be the nihilist, the depresso-expresso 2. Or the optimist, The Happiness Blueprint Which one do you choose? You may as well choose the one where you're happy, right? It's common sense, I think we all would but why is it that some people are nihilists? Why is it that some people don't want to see the positives? Why is it that people blame things on others instead of themselves for their problems? Why is it that most people default to seeing the negatives instead of the positives? Let's explain that. Why do people become nihilists instead of optimists? I think this is because of social conditioning to a big extent. It's because of what they adopt from an early age from friends, family, movies, TV shows, media. They see the people around them complaining and not seeing the positives and things, and blaming things outside of their control for their failures and all that. That will be part of it. The biggest reason why I think people become less positive and more negative is that it's because of the comfort of blaming others for your problems instead of yourself, It removes accountability and it is much easier and more comfortable to blame others instead of yourself. But what do we do to overcome this? This is what I did: 1. "Everything is in my control." Now I would recommend you don't be like, "Everything is your fault," because that makes it seem like everything around you that's bad was your fault and that will begin a low frequency. What you should be like instead is, "Everything is in my control." If you messed up last month here on a row or whatever, be like, "Well it wasn't my fault, It was in my control." That is what you should be like towards situations you're not the happiest about. 2. See no evil here, no evil. What that means is don't consume negative content. That would be looking at comments on a negative YouTube video or hate YouTube videos or sad movies, or a triggering kind of music.
