It's Poll Monday! You can use that to make polls as well as roast submissions today and you get to earn points for Roaster of the Week by interacting with the polls. Some of my best posts are polls because I use the answers to start conversations that are very productive. Look at this thread and how I use it. It's a great conversation starter and an opportunity to learn about what people need, or what people can teach you. Ask a question about your niche to learn about what people think in regards to what you do, to what you're trying to build. Get insights on what people could be interested at. Learn what people use, what people find important or don't. Make questions that people will want to answer. Start conversations. Tag people who answered a question but didn't comment to start a conversation. Do CTAs if you feel like you can help them (you can do that inside your own poll even if you're not premium). Ask away!

That's the importance of doing experiments and paying attention to stats. Ever since implementing the Roasty slides, my convertion rates dropped to 10%. Only 2 new members this week, despite being very active on skool. And one person churned as soon as I made the post introducing him. I still love the dragon, but he will stay hidden as an inside joke and also be mentioned on posts around classifieds and will still have a use in my social media plan. Roasty is fun and fun is a big part of why this is working for me. But Skool needs to be simple. Stupid simple. If people don't get what you're about in a few seconds they're out. You're actually penalized for being clever here. Mascot branding just complicated a brand that was already working for it's simplicity. By the way this is a "Roast my Lesson" post. Feel free to bring your own point of view on that and disagree with me.
