Go premium and post your event in @Shannon Boyer The Skool Classifieds community, and lots of members will join your community. Of course, this is not guaranteed, but not only can they join your community, but they also add the date of your event to their calendar. 🟰 More members join your event, and more members join your community 🤷‍♂️ And Shannon also pins a post about your event. @Heather Wilson and I will keep posting about this until we're blue in the face. Well, Heather will 😁 Note: To do this, you have to join premium and also take Shannon's presentation course, and each event is $10.

Oh, this was a cracking conversation, and I have a feeling a few of you are going to recognise yourselves in it. I certainly did! I finally managed to sit down with Lisa Adams from The Regulated Leader for one of our Skool Events Daily interviews. We've been trying to arrange this chat for ages, so it was lovely to finally get together. Now, here's something that really caught my attention. Have you ever known EXACTLY what you need to do to move your business forward, known it would help you, perhaps even paid good money to learn how to do it… and then proceeded to do absolutely everything EXCEPT that? Oh, I know that one rather well! 😂 Lisa explained how some of the things we put down to procrastination, overthinking or a lack of discipline can actually be connected to how our nervous system responds when something feels uncomfortable or threatening. And this is where it gets interesting. You might desperately want to grow your business, become more visible, start making videos or put yourself out there. But if being seen has felt unsafe to you in the past, your body may be putting up a rather determined fight against your plans. So instead of doing that video, you suddenly find yourself scrolling through Facebook, rearranging your desk or deciding that NOW would be an excellent time to learn something else! Sound familiar? 😁 What I particularly liked about Lisa's approach is that she's not suggesting we all need another enormous programme of work to add to our already overflowing plates. Quite the opposite. Her free 90-minute workshops are designed to help people recognise a pattern that's holding them back and walk away with one small, practical tool they can actually use. Not another notebook full of wonderful ideas that ends up gathering dust on the shelf. And believe me, I've got a few of those! Lisa also shared a lovely example of a client in his 50s who had always considered himself shy. His goal was to make just ONE YouTube video during their eight weeks together.

Now, I know I've been nagging you all about posting your events, using the new website and generally making yourselves visible to the world. But there's something else you could be doing, and I have a sneaky suspicion some of you have completely forgotten about it! 𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗥𝗘𝗙𝗘𝗥𝗥𝗔𝗟 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗠𝗠𝗘! 😁 Yes, you can actually earn money by telling people about Skool Events Daily. Fancy that! For every person you refer who joins VIP at $12 a month, you get 𝟯𝟬% — 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗨𝗦$𝟯.𝟲𝟬 𝗮 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵. Get 5 people signed up and that's $18 a month. Get 10 and you're looking at $36 a month. Now, I know it's not exactly a massive pot of earnings, but every little bit counts, doesn't it? And if we're offering you the opportunity to earn a bit of money, why wouldn't you snap our hands off? 😂 Besides, let's face it, 𝗦𝗘𝗗 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗯𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗻𝗼-𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿! We're offering a ridiculously useful service at a ridiculously low price, so it's hardly going to take an Olympic-level sales pitch to get people interested. And most of you have already grabbed our VIP offer yourselves, so you clearly saw the value in it! 😁 Now, I'm not suggesting you go charging around Skool like a woman possessed, shoving your referral link under everyone's nose. 😂 But come on, how many coaches, community owners and event hosts do you know who could do with a bit more visibility? You're already here. You know what we're doing. And now we've got our shiny new website taking events beyond Skool and out into the big wide world. So why not spread the word and earn a few bob while you're at it? 𝗚𝗼 𝗼𝗻, 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝘂𝗽! 𝗪𝗵𝗼'𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆? 𝗢𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝗯? 😂

You Can Lead People to an Event… But Can You Make the Buggers Turn Up? 😂 Well, that was the big question at today's Coffee, Chat & Collab! And rather amusingly, several people who voted to discuss getting people to show up didn't actually show up themselves. Oh, the irony! 🤣 We had a cracking conversation, though, with some very useful experiences shared. Chris apparently thinks 3 AM is a perfectly reasonable time to get up for an event but in fairness he is showing up for when his audience is around so he is showing up so his audience shows up. I can assure you, it isn't happening in my house 🫣 because me and 3am dont get along 😂 Chef Andrew shared how simply asking his community which times suited them made a difference to attendance. He also reminded us that an event with nobody watching isn't necessarily wasted. Record it, repurpose it and make something useful out of it. Great advice. Angela shared the frustration of promoting a free workshop everywhere, only to have one person turn up. Something I suspect quite a few event hosts can relate to! But she left feeling encouraged that despite that she is on the right track and to carry on because it does happen. And Rena talked about using scheduling tools to keep event promotion going without having to remember every single post. We also got into some of my favourite subjects: posting and ghosting, building genuine relationships, following up with interested people and actually giving your audience a reason to come. Because putting up one event post and hoping the entire population of Skool will suddenly appear is rather optimistic, don't you think? 😁 Then Chef Andrew introduced us to the wonderful idea of adding a little whimsy to what we do. He's talking about food, of course, but it applies beautifully to events. A bit of personality, something unexpected, a little humour. Stop making everything so terribly serious! We also talked about collaborations, featuring other community members, using short videos and why making friends across communities can be far more valuable than endlessly shouting about your next event.

Right, we need to have another little chat about posting and ghosting, because this week has been particularly bad! And yes, I do notice these things. I've got that beady little eye on what's happening in here! 😂 Now, I love seeing you posting your events. That's what Skool Events Daily is here for. But what I don't understand is why some people think they can pop in, drop their event, disappear, and expect everyone else to take an interest in what they're doing. Hang on a minute. How does that work then? We're a community, not a free advertising board! Every person here is trying to achieve something. They're putting time and effort into their events, just as you are, and they'd probably appreciate a bit of interest and encouragement too. But here's something else I want you to think about. The people you're ignoring today could be your future connections, collaborators or even clients. You have absolutely no idea where a simple conversation might lead. Someone running an event today could be the perfect person to collaborate with next month, introduce you to a new audience or become a client further down the line. But you'll never discover any of that if you don't bother taking an interest in anyone else. And there's another side to this. If you show absolutely no interest in what anyone else is doing, don't be too surprised when that same energy comes back to you and nobody shows much interest in your events either! You can't expect a supportive community if you're not prepared to be part of one. Now, I'm not suggesting you spend hours in here every day. Good grief, we've all got enough to do! But taking five minutes to read someone's post, leave a genuine comment, ask a question or offer a bit of encouragement really isn't asking the earth. Des and I are working hard to create opportunities for your events to be seen, both here and through the website. But we can't create those relationships for you. That's down to you. So, here's my challenge. Next time you come in to post your event, have a look around first. See what someone else is doing. Start a conversation. Show a bit of interest.
