I don't know if you where on the last COLD to SOLD Call, but I have seen this community change over the last few months, and it was express really passionately by @Ty Lg on the call and by @Melissa Rose in a DM to me. @Andrew Naegele just finished an eye-opening analysis of community engagement patterns, and I HAD to share these insights with you... π After analyzing 3 months of community data, here's what we discovered!!
The differences between successful members vs. struggling members in the online community.
The #1 Predictor of Success? Your "Social Currency Account" Balance π¦
Think of joining a community like opening a bank account:
- You start at $0
- You can't withdraw what you haven't deposited
- The more you deposit (value), the more interest you earn
- Returns compound at 3x-10x when you consistently contribute
π« Warning Signs We Found:
- Members with No established online presence
- Only asking, never answering
- Copy/paste engagement
- Pure consumption, zero contribution
β
Success Patterns We Found:
- Regular value-adding posts
- Helping others solve problems
- Building genuine connections
- Sharing wins AND struggles
- Active business presence
π GOLDEN INSIGHT: Every single successful member follows the "Deposit First" principle. They focus on giving value before expecting returns. Just look at the new faces on the 7 day leaderboard

When was the last time you:
- Answered someone's question?
- Shared a valuable resource?
- Celebrated someone else's win?
- Posted actionable insights?
Your "Social Currency" balance is the sum of your contributions, not your consumption.
