Hey everyone! So glad these posts are a thing. Here's where I'm at.
I run The Creative Boss, a brand design business for solo creative entrepreneurs. I've been solopreneur-ing for years, and right now I'm in an interesting season.
I just launched a Skool community, 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆, and alongside it, a workshop called 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 that teaches solopreneurs how to set up three simple files so Claude actually knows their business and stops giving them generic outputs. The workshop went live about a week ago and I'm now in full "how do I get more eyes on this" mode.
The thing I'm unsure about, honestly, community growth. I'm comfortable with the content and the offer. The part that feels fuzzy is showing up in other communities without it feeling like I'm just there to promote myself. I want to be genuinely useful to people and I want them to know my community exists. Finding that balance is where I'm stuck.
It would be helpful if anyone has navigated growing a Skool community from scratch, especially through organic methods like showing up in other space. I'd love to hear what actually worked for you. Specific wins, specific flops, all of it welcome.
Thanks for reading this far. Looking forward to cheering everyone else on too. 🙌
