Start your engines!!! The CLASSIFIEDS Black Friday Free For All has officially started! Here are the rules of engagement: 1. Each person may post once an hour. I’m not talking about counting 60 minutes between posts. Once between 1 and 2, once between 2 and 3, etc. 2. It is one post per person, not per group. If you own two Skool groups, they will have to take turns. Create new posts, not comments here. 3. You can promote anything you want: free, paid, discounts, sales, Skool group, coaching packages, ebook, course, masterclass, podcast, etc. 4. Each time you post, you must comment on at least two other posts. Please feel free to comment on a whole bunch more. This is a free for all, after all. 5. I think we’ve established that we all love GIFS, but I have a completely unproven suspicion that comments with text count more than just GIFS. So let’s try a combination of GIFS with words… or just words. Just words work too! 6. Have fun, support each other, and reap the rewards!!! Based on the poll I did the other day, you all seem to think this mayhem is going to result in a significant increase in our ranking in Discovery, so let’s see what happens. We are currently #44 in money. The Free For All runs from midnight CDT to midnight CDT Friday, November 28. Then it’s back to business as usual! There will be #FriendFriday this week. The doors are open!! Don’t get hurt.

Are you discouraged because you posted in the Classifieds, got a couple of likes and no comments?Here are the secrets to successful posting: 1. Most importantly, you need to comment on other people’s posts.  Get noticed, make connections, find others who you have things in common with.  And I’m not just talking about a couple of comments here and there - I’m talking about genuinely and consistently setting aside 5-10 minutes a day to interact with others. ⏰ 2. Make your posts something that others want to read. Your headline is key and it has to hook the reader quickly. Then provide value (not a novel) or a story (again, not a novel) that is tied to your offer and how you help people. Do not just drop a link or post the same thing day after day. Appeal to your audience’s pain points or greatest desires. 📰 3. Post once a day, every day. People subconsciously get a sense for who you are and what you are about by seeing your headlines on a regular basis. Only after seeing you for 4-5 times in a row will they be interested enough to click. If you post once and then don’t post again for two weeks, you will be starting over from scratch. 🖇️ 4. Scroll and check out other posts that have gotten several comments. What do they have in common? What is something they have done that you can emulate? Was it a captivating hook, a poll, a story, sharing expertise, etc? 👏 5. This is going to sound self-serving, but it really isn’t - become a Premium member and come and meet people live online. That is where real relationships and connections form that continue into the forum. I’ve seen people join each other's groups, collaborate, interview each other, guest present in each other's groups, refer others, etc. The possibilities are endless! You can check out upcoming meet and greets (called PERSONALS - no dating involved!) on the calendar. 📆 Finally, remember that when you post, you are appealing to three different audiences:

I wish I could explain how generous this group is. The women inside of SkoolHers share feedback and ideas freely, cheer each other on, and genuinely care about helping one another succeed. This group is full of generous, encouraging women who are actively building their own Skool communities and creating connections that build each other up. If you’ve launched your Skool and want a place to grow it with others, not just talk about it, this is the room to be in. And it’s full of the kind of women you actually want to build with. ✨ Come see how we’re building together

Thanks to everyone for the amazingly creative suggestions for the member-led masterclasses. Here are the final 4 to choose from. Remember that I will be using the name in sentences such as : Click here to host your own _________. Or, a new _________ is now available on the calendar! Voting ends Monday night.

In November (hopefully! 🤞), you will have the chance to join a higher tier of this community and unlock even more opportunities for visibility and exposure. One of those opportunities will be to host a masterclass inside the community that is posted on the calendar and advertised for you. ( You must take the How to Teach a High-Value, High-Converting Masterclass first). I want to call these special sessions something other than a masterclass, and I'd like it to be in keeping with the newspaper theme of the Classifieds, but so far I haven't been able to come up with anything I love (and yes, I have consulted with my friend, Chatty G 😉). Ideas so far are "Insider Session" and an "Exclusive." Please let me know any ideas you have below, and then we will take a vote!
