It's time to share with your fellow members someone who you think is doing an amazing job in their community to help others! It can be a community that you are a part of or the community of someone you've met on Skool who you know deserves to be spotlighted. Please do NOT just drop a link. Here's the drill: 1. Leave your affiliate link (if you have one) in the comments below NOT in a new post. 2. Tag or mention the person who is the community owner. Also, send them a DM letting them know you mentioned them here - you'll brighten their day! 3. Include a description of who the group is for and why it is so amazing. And not necessarily in that order! Reminders: 1. Today is the last day to watch the What Makes a Course Successful masterclass. It's in the pinned posts and it's getting great reviews! 2. Today is also the last day to submit an application for the VIP tier of the Classifieds. Happy Friday all!

Ahh yes my current group member count ends in a culturally significant number. And like the millennial I am, I keep thinking about it. So if you would kindly consider putting me out of misery and see if my group might vibe with you, I would appreciate it. You will also spare my husband from me making weird eyebrow flexs throughout the day. Unmuted Money where we talk about money to take the pressure off and make it less scary. We have GiFs and Quicks which are 1 sentence posts to just get people in the habit without it being a whole ordeal. We have weekly unrecorded lives to talk with others without it being forever held. Also a good chunk of us are neurodivergent (I have ADHD) so the conversations can be really random but still tied to money. (Seriously money touches almost every aspect of your life) Hope to see you there!

I've just released a new 30-minute masterclass in the Build Lab. It's free for Premium members and only $17 for Standard members. And no, it's not a pre-recorded masterclass that I've repurposed to try to "make the most of my content." It's recorded specifically for an asynchronous audience. If you've been wondering how to create a Foundational or "Start Here" module for your community or course that encourages more people to engage, this is your answer! Inside "Your Best Foundational Module," you will learn the three functions of an effective foundational module and the content that is required, suggested, and optional for maximizing student success. By the end of this masterclass you will know exactly what to put inside your own Foundational Module in order to have more students starting your course, completing your course, engaging in your community, implementing what they've learned, and raving about their results. A killer onboarding process is crucial for student success and an intentional and well-thought-out foundational module is a key component to that onboarding process.

I run the Shopify Growth Collective....a Shopify-focused community with a VIP level made up of product-based founders who are actively building, implementing, and investing in their stores. The audience is thoughtful, engaged, and focused on real results (not shiny tactics). I’ll be heading to the Skool IRL in Antarctica next month (WOOT!!), which means I’ll be dealing with unpredictable Wi-Fi and potentially inconsistent calls for most of February. Rather than pause momentum, I thought it would be fun to put together a Traffic Expert Takeover inside my Shopify community. February is already Traffic Month for us....and traffic isn’t my lane. I’m a Shopify UX / on-site conversion strategist, not a traffic expert, and I normally bring in outside specialists at this time of year anyway. This time, I’d love to open the doors to collaboration with other Skool community owners, creating space for traffic experts to step in, share their expertise with my audience, build trust, and expand their own visibility and community in the process, while keeping mine active and well supported while I’m away. What I am thinking... Each expert would host one 60-minute live session any time in February: - Either 60 minutes of live Q&A - Or 30 minutes education + 30 minutes Q&A - Focused on how your traffic lane applies to Shopify store owners It’s a great opportunity to: - Speak to a Shopify-specific audience - Practice teaching to founders who ask good questions - Build trust and visibility in a peer-led environment This is not a pitch fest... it’s collaboration, trust-building, and real value. Traffic lanes I’m looking for - UGC / creator systems - TikTok (organic, paid, or TikTok Shop... honest takes) - Live shopping / live selling - Meta ads (Shopify-smart) - Email marketing for product-based brands - Or if you are a expert in driving traffic to Shopify stores in some other way feel free to let me know wha tyou do. If this feels aligned...or if there’s another traffic lane you think would genuinely help Shopify founders... please comment. I’ll be curating this intentionally and keeping the group small.

When you join a group, it’s always a good idea to make note of whether the group is public or private. Public means anyone in the world can see everything inside the community (unless there are locks on courses). Everything inside is also indexed by search engines like Google. Private means only the people inside the group can see what’s posted. So while most people will choose rightly to have a private group, the whole point of the CLASSIFIEDS is to enhance your visibility and get you more members. I don’t want you wasting your time posting about your group and having it only seen by the people inside this community (as wonderful as they are!). On the flip side, make sure groups you are in where you are posting sensitive information are private. Check out the groups you are in. Any surprises???
