This was the question I asked @Shannon Boyer when she was a guest on my show Podcasting Business School. At the time of the interview I was THINKING about starting a Skool community and during the episode Shannon helped me map out my community launch strategy. I'm excited to say that we officially launched my community yesterday and we now have 106 members....I guess Shannon knows what she's talking about! 😉 Check out episode 628 of Podcasting Business School where you get to be a fly on the wall as Shannon helped me map out a perfect Skool community launch strategy.

Don't miss the CLASSIFIEDS own @Des Dreckett of The Content Revenue Lab and @Claudio Campobassi of Panda Skool CRM presenting their free masterclass, Turn Members Into Revenue. Check out the calendar for the exact time in your time zone. Here is what they have to say about the session: Most Skool communities have members. That part isn't the problem. The problem is that those members join, look around, and disappear. They don't engage, don't upgrade, and definitely don't buy. The community looks active on the surface but the revenue column tells a different story. On 30th June at 8pm UK (3pm ET / 12pm PT), I'm sitting down live with Claudio Campobassi - the founder of Panda for Skool - to show exactly what happens inside a community when the conversion system is missing, and what it looks like when you put one in place. This isn't a product demo. We'll be working through a real community growth scenario - walking through how to identify the members most likely to convert, how to reach out in a way that doesn't feel like a cold pitch, and how to use voice notes and video messages to start conversations that actually go somewhere. If you've got members but not much revenue to show for it, this is the session to show up for.

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.
