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.

As we've been looking more closely at onboarding, we've moved beyond Start Here posts, welcome messages, and what someone is told to do first. We've been thinking about the experience of being new. And one question keeps coming up for us... When does onboarding actually end? Is it when someone... 👋 joins the community? 📌 reads Start Here? 💬 introduces themselves? 📚 opens the first resource? 📅 attends something? Those are all things we can see and measure. But someone could do every one of them and still be wondering... 💙 What am I supposed to do here? 💙 Where do I fit? 💙 Who are these people? 💙 What happens next? Which made us wonder if we've sometimes thought about onboarding in terms of what a member completes rather than what changes for the member.🤔 Maybe the better question isn't... Did they finish onboarding? Maybe it's... Do they still feel new? And that's what we're sitting with today. Think about the newest members in your own community. What would you notice that would tell you they no longer feel like a newcomer? We're curious about what you would actually look for. 🔬🐼

They say doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the definition of insanity😅 With Q4 coming up, it got me thinking... Is there anything you're planning to do differently in your business? A strategy you want to try, something you want to stop doing, or maybe something you want to double down on because it's actually working?

There’s a lot of “AI may end humanity” talk going around lately. So let’s prepare responsibly. If you only had one Skool post left before the robots took over, what would you post? Bonus points if it’s: “Join my 30-minute How to Stop the Robots Challenge.” “Comment ‘ROBOT’ and I’ll DM you the survival checklist.” “Only 3 spots left in my AI Apocalypse Mastermind.” P.S. I’m not trying to minimize the real concerns around AI. Sometimes humor is just a good way to start the conversation. P.P.S. AI companies asking to be regulated will reduce their long-term liability and freeze new startups out of the bigger AI market. Also, they don’t need anyone’s permission to make their current models safer on their own. Just saying.

A mysterious package just showed up with your name on it. Inside is something you would absolutely LOVE to find. No rules. Something you lost. Something you’ve always wanted. Something that doesn’t even exist. 😂 What are you hoping is in the box? Mine would be my grandmother’s recipe book. The funny thing is, there never was one. She made everything from scratch and, as far as I know, never wrote any of it down. We have none of her delicious recipes. So somehow, my mystery box contains the recipe book I wish she had left us. ❤️ What would be in yours?
