Please roast the first impression you get when scrolling past my community. I realized that a lot of communities on the 1st page show their faces. Me not showing mine was not intentional, so that's an easy fix. Would I be more trustworthy if I showed it? Also, does the image look too simple? If it does not make you want to click, then it needs to go. Please burn me 🔥🔥🔥

If you want to check it out here is the link for the free trial. Thank you for recommending it to me @Lara Sloan ! With it you can schedule posts, use AI to give you post ideas and texts based on your current community and make automations for stuff like DMs and emails. The starting plan is just 29 usd and includes enough automation and CRM features so you can make your community run smoothly! I highly recommend you using that over the pro community feature if you don't have big plans for affiliate programs, because Skool automation features just suck! It's also the best and less invasive CRM design for skool I tried. It's very helpful and I barelly notice it. You can see a tag at each user anywhere on skool saying what is the status of them with your community. Are they inside it? Have they churned? You will know immediately. Very useful if your community is big and you're already having a hard time keeping up with it.

There are only advantages on referring communities to people. You get a commission from it, the owner is grateful and many even reward you for that (like I do). I won 2 referral contests and get comissions from 3 paid members that I referred to the classifieds. Here are some ways to do it: - Recommendation posts, where you list communitiest that helped you in some regard. I did something similar here, where I list our VIPs, and High Skool clique posts, where I separate people's communities by their type. - Classroom directory: You can create a directory on your classroom to refere other people's communities. Many people do that successfully and @Heather Boers has a whole space dedicated to exactly that. - DMs and comments: if you really love a community, invite people who you know could benefit from being inside it with your referral link. I do that all the time for my VIP members, as that is one of the perks of VIP. Here is how you can benefit from bringing referrals to Roast & Promote in particular. If you win roaster of the week at least once, and bring the biggest ammount of referrals, you will get free lifetime VIP access to this community at 1st of May. And also, if you start a community with me, or refer someone who does, you get free premium. Free VIP if you start with a pro community! And once I get enough MRR to upgrade to PRO, I'll enable 50% comission for paid referrals.
