Like I wrote a couple days ago, I'm hoping to get your help in growing this community.
I've picked a magic number — 320 members.
(We're currently at 227, so it doesn't seem like such a stretch.)
Maybe you want to help me spread the word about this group simply because you like me...
... or maybe you'd like to grow this group because you can see the value of having more connections and possible partnerships with like-minded people.
But maybe you also need some kind of a bribe. So here's what I've got for you:
- Prize just for participating - "Mystery bribe": a training I gave two years ago, which is particularly relevant if you want to use your email list to pay for a house — just to say thanks
- Prize for referring 10 people who join - "$25 classified ads": A behind-closed-doors place to advertise and test out your offers, get clients and partners, grow your list for $25 a pop
- Group prize when we get to 320 members - "Subtle lead magnet": A lead magnet I've seen two marketers using that gets better conversions and higher-intent leads than the usual free report/course/template etc.
(If by some chance we easily and quickly blow through the 320 member mark, I'm willing to introduce new bribes and bonuses and parties and fiestas to keep this campaign going.)
IMPORTANT: In order for me to know it was you who referred a possible new member, you will need to use the custom referral link that Skool provides.
You can find this link on the right side of the screen of the main group page on the desktop site, under the group description, once you click the "INVITE PEOPLE" button... ... or on the Skool app, if you click the three dots next to the group name.
IMPORTANT #2: In the interest of keeping this group healthy and valuable, I am not letting in just anyone who applies into the group.
I make up my mind who to let in based on intuition, taking into account things like a person's answers to the questions I have set up at the door... to their past history on Skool as I can see it... and to what I know of them already (if they are on my email list).
Basically, I want people who actually have an interest in email marketing and in profiting from an email list... who are either doing something already or seem to have the desire and readiness to do something... and who aren't trolls.
I'm guessing that out of the people who applied to join this group so far, 90%-95% fit this description, and made it into the group.
I'm telling you this in case you refer people to this group, and they aren't let in. I'm not trying to be difficult. I am just trying to keep the group a good place to be in.
Also, this affects the prizes I promised above:
The prize for referring 10 people who join — that's 10 people who actually make it into the group.
On the other hand, the prize just for participating, the mystery bribe, that's yours even if you refer just person to the group, whether or not they actually make it inside.
Let's see if this works?
