📌What Should You Improve Next in Your Community?
Most community builders don't need more ideas.🚦 They need to know what deserves their attention first. Maybe... • Members join but disappear. • Conversations depend on you. • You're working harder than ever but aren't seeing the progress you hoped for. • You know something needs attention...you just don't know what. The truth is... You can't improve everything at once. The fastest way to build a healthier community is to identify the one area that will create the biggest impact. That's why we created the Community Snapshot. In about 5 minutes, you'll discover: ✅ Your community's strongest area. ✅ Your biggest opportunity for improvement. ✅ The one thing I'd focus on first. Your first win isn't a perfect community. It's finally knowing what to improve next. 👉 Step 1 and 👉 Step 2 Access the free SkoolMe Snapshot and share your results here: 📊 Community Snapshot Results & Personalized Feedback I'll personally help interpret your scores and suggest where I'd begin. 👉 Step 3 Ready to improve your score instead of simply knowing it? Join this month's 30-Day Community Improvement Sprint. One month. One focus. One meaningful improvement. Because better communities aren't built by guessing. They're built by improving the right thing at the right time.

🔨 In the Build: Bring Us Into It
In the Build is where we bring the work that is still...well...in the build. 😂 Not just the finished version. The graphic you’re deciding between. The offer you’re testing. The post that got crickets. The community you’re getting ready to open. The idea that makes perfect sense in your head but isn’t quite translating yet. The thing that WORKED and now you’re wondering why. The little win that happened before you’ve reached the finish line. This is the messy middle. And we think there’s a whole lot we can learn from each other here. When we created In the Build, we kept coming back to four questions: What are you trying? What are you wondering? What would help? What are you learning? A few of you have since reminded us of something important... Sometimes knowing you’re welcome to post isn’t enough. It helps to know how to start. So if the blank post box is staring back at you, here’s a little shape you can borrow: What I’m building: Who it’s for: Where I am right now: What I’m working on next: What would help: That’s it. Use all five. Use two. Ignore the whole thing and tell us the story your way. 😂 This is a starting point, not a formula. Explorer Panda would approve. 🐼🧭 You don’t need the whole map. You just need to show us where you are right now. Then keep us in the build. You don’t need to create a brand-new post every time something happens. Come back to your original Build and tell us: What I tried: What happened: What I’m wondering now: Over time, that thread becomes something pretty cool. It becomes a record of the decisions, experiments, wrong turns, little wins, surprises, and changes that got you from there to here. And those are surprisingly hard to see when you’re the one doing the building. When someone lets you into their build, come alongside them. This may be my favorite part. You do NOT need to have the answer. Ask a question. Tell them what you notice. Share something you tried. Look at the graphic. Click through the page.

Building my Brand and Life
Hey everyone! 👋 I’m Arnold, originally from Singapore, and currently based in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I've travelled to 22 countries in my life. I’m an entrepreneur and digital nomad, and I’m here because I’m really interested in connecting with other people who are building things, experimenting with different ways of working, and figuring out what kind of business and life they actually want. I’m currently working on my own business, SelfSync Studio, which is focused around intentional living, wellbeing, burnout, and the way we approach work. I’m also exploring freelance/VA-style business support and different ways of building income online. My background is actually in Industrial & Systems Engineering, so I’m quite interested in the intersection between business, systems, creativity, and people. I’m not exactly in a community building phase at the moment, I’m more interested in the broader entrepreneur journey: figuring things out, trying ideas, meeting interesting people, learning from other businesses, and sharing what I discover along the way. Looking forward to getting to know everyone here! What are you currently building or experimenting with?

A Weird Resistance To Affiliate Links
I'm curious about how everyone has decided on the % that they offer through their affiliate links and whether they have tried and tested what their 'sweet spot' is? I currently have my group with 0% for affiliate links but wondering if I should offer a percentage? If it was a community where it was my 'normal' business I wouldn't think twice about an affiliate commission amount, but because all our profits go to our regeneration project part of me is feeling a lot of resistance to doing this. I am aware that more members means more income, even if part is going back to them, but still, it's unlike my normal (very charitable) self that I am feeling a lot of resistance here. Hence why I'm exploring it. I personally don't ever think about getting anything from sharing peoples communities, I just do it if I think they'll be a good fit. But I have just been reading about how much people are actually making through affiliate commissions and it's obviously a big thing for a lot of people. So, your thoughts and experiences would be gratefully received in this space.
