Hey everyone 👋 I haven’t been active here for a while because of work, but I wanted to share something new I tried for the first time. Yesterday, I launched my first-ever lead magnet on LinkedIn — a playbook on LLMSEO (how to make content visible across AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini). Here’s what happened so far in 14 hours: 600+ impressions 90+ video views (average 10s watch time) 7 comments (3 people directly asked for the playbook) Small but steady profile reach outside my immediate network This might not sound like “viral” traction, but for me, it’s a big step (In fact, to many people here, this doesn't sound like traction at all). I did this solo (no automation, no team, no pods) — just my content + video walkthrough + pinned comment CTA. 👉 I’d love to know from this community: 1. How would you improve my CTA (right now it’s gated by asking people to comment)? 2. Any tips on how to drive more engagement-to-lead conversions from a first post like this?

I know this is primarily aimed at growing on LinkedIn and YouTube, but I'm working on growing X in the background (since they both are text-driven). If anyone is one X and want to connect, please hit this link: https://x.com/GloboWatkins Also, I've been using Groc, just the free version and I like it. Does anyone else have experience using it? What's your opinion of it?

Great to meet everyone! I'm still trying to discover what my 2.0 looks like. Stand up comedy vs. fiction writing vs. comedy writing... Meanwhile, here's some live footage....

Due to juggling multiple in person jobs, I batch produce content so that I can at least post on a regular basis. However, I notice my impressions are very low. I have recently pivoted from the nonprofit to the faith-based space, although there is overlap in the audiences. Some content creators believe that if you post more than once a day, LinkedIn suppresses your post and restricts your reach... I just wanted to see if anyone else uses a scheduler or social media manager tool such as metricool, Hootsuite or other tools and does it impact their reach... Also, does anyone post at the same time each day? Thanks in advance....

From 0 to Community: My Skool Journey 🚀 When I first joined Skool back in October, I honestly didn’t pay much attention to the “community” side of things. I was just using it because some vendors and coaching programs I worked with were here. But something clicked: What if I built one myself? It took me 10 months of building my personal brand before I ever saw traction, but once the foundation was there, the community really started to grow in just 2 months. Here’s what worked for me (and it’s simpler than most people think): 1. Post about your community consistently - I shared updates on LinkedIn for 2 months straight. Nothing fancy, just consistent visibility. 2. Run a friendly competition inside your community - I encouraged members to invite others before switching over to a paid model. That simple challenge created momentum. That’s it. Two simple moves. Last week, I even experimented with Facebook ads at $10/day to see if it would help. Honestly? Didn’t see much come from it. But that’s the beauty of testing - you try, you learn, you adjust. 👉 The takeaway: You don’t need big budgets, complicated funnels, or secret hacks. Growth comes from showing up, sharing your vision, and creating a space people actually want to be part of. If you’re just starting, don’t be discouraged by slow beginnings. Remember — the seeds you plant today will be the shade you sit under tomorrow. 🌱 Keep building. Keep showing up. Your community will come. 💪
