If you're sitting in Level 1, you're missing two helpful and critical courses that can help you and your community. The first helps you with understanding SEO (even if you're not doing a public group), and the 2nd course helps you with engagement by planning 30 days of prompts (and the course gives it to you too, see attached). What are you doing sitting in Level 1? Do you know how to level up? It's simple, you comment. And for every like you get, the more points you get. And btw, that leveling up... that's exactly what you should be setting in place for your own community. Building your own incentives for engagement.

Recently I was part of a group. I’m like Tigger and in a new playground here in Skool. I like bouncing around to different spaces to see what they feel like, get tips about what I think works just by watching, how hosts run their spaces. You can seriously learn A LOT by just sitting back and watching. See what works, what doesn’t work. Engaging, seeing how they engage back, if at all. How they nurture their audience. There’s a lot of nuance to running a really good community. Sometimes I leave quickly, sometimes I stick around and sometimes I forget I’m even in their group. Which note to you reading, that’s bad. That means they aren’t engaging or posting or something. The group I’m going to be talking about here really caught my attention. They were putting themselves out there on Goosify and it was tied to a hobby that I hadn’t done in a really long time so why not? I loved it and it fed my soul. The host was present, active. Prompts daily, sparked conversation, engaging back with their members multiple times a day. It was a little quiet but people were showing up and really… for the genre it is kind of quiet to begin with. But it was solid and I was going to stick around. Then the end of the month was coming. The host posted that the end of their billing cycle was coming and they could use some help with the upcoming fees. They were at the $99 tier, they admitted they couldn’t cover the cost out of their own pocket. They asked for the community to rally, get something from the classroom, donate or upgrade to a paid tier or the group was going to have to close. At first there was just that one post. But then there was another. Each one sounded a little more urgent than the last one. Until finally the last post. The last post was the one that made me leave. After about a week of this with no resolution in sight they put up a post declaring they were going to close the group because we didn’t care enough to keep it alive. It was worded… very poorly. It was accusatory, angry, frustrated and it lashed out at the community. They had already threatened it with the possibility of closure, this was next level.
