Excited to be hosting @Lidia Axe for an Expert Event on Wednesday. She'll be breaking down exactly how she QUICKLY got 300 members into her 30-Day Hackathon community. This event happens over in Community Growth Academy -- you can join AND attend free! https://www.skool.com/community-growth-academy/about

Today is the day! Day 3 of the Community Clinic is focused on MONEY. It's today. It's deep, real, and focused on making your community an income. How to charge /when to change/ what to charge. Come and join us today live or catch the recordings. All for one, and one for all.

It's time to celebrate each other! In the COMMENTS BELOW, please share a Skool community you think is doing really great things. It can be one you've participated in yourself or one that you've heard from others is amazing. Please do the following: 1. Tell us the name of the community and link to it (affiliates allowed). 2. Tag the person who owns the community. If they are not in the CLASSIFIEDS, then please send them a DM and let them know that you mentioned them here. I promise you will make their day! 3. Describe why the group is so wonderful and how it has helped you. Please DO NOT just copy and paste the About page! 4. Comment on each others comments and scroll through the referrals to see if there's an amazing group you are missing out on! Thanks so much for supporting each other and this community! Please note that any #FriendFriday mentions that are created as new posts will be deleted. Thanks! Please DO NOT promote yourself. 🤨. The entire community is for promoting yourself. This post is for celebrating someone else. 😊

People, I'm teaching on how to build a community you can sell for serious money and exit -- at 4 Pacific - 7 Eastern today! It's happening in my friend @Lidia Axe 's 30 Day Hackathon community. I've presented at conferences and in virtual summits, spoken on panels... but have never done a working session like this before. I think it's going to ROCK. I'm going to blow minds when I talk about what business buyers look for in a digital biz they might acquire -- because it flies in the face of a lot of the conventional wisdom out there about building your brand. To watch, sign up for the free level in Lidia's 30-Day Skool Hackathon community (thanks for using my link!): https://www.skool.com/skool-100/about?ref=e7dbc435e4cf491fa8e80b708183807f PS The Clinic is free to attend live and to watch replays for 24 hours. Such a deal! And there's another whole day of sessions still to come.

The money category is very very disputed. But I manage to keep Roast & Promote consistently between 300 and 330 on discovery, since week 1, and even got to 264 on a particular day where many people joined. Discovery results has many factors, but the main one is engagement. And here is how I keep my community highly engaged. 1. Brand: my brand is built around what people will do inside my community, not around what I will provide. That way people already join knowing that they can make roasts and get roasted, and somehow promote themselves just by checking the name. 2. The onboarding process: More about it here. But in short, I don't welcome people with a long list of things they should check. I simply start a casual conversation and make it clear they can start posting right away with no obstacles, no journey, no manual. Just submit a roast or start roasting other posts. Simple. If they want to learn more or have any questions, there is a link in the welcoming post that compiles posts that answer common questions. 3. Competition: People are not only rewarded for making posts, but also for answering other people's posts. That way the community gets full engagement without depending on me. People are not ignored because the best roasters get a pinned post ad at the top. There are other competition aspects, but the roaster of the week is the main one. 4. Fun: I don't take myself too seriously. The community has a fun brand, a fun language and lot's of potential for exploring fire gifs, BBQ tips, dragon lore and High Skool. I have fun and people have fun.
