every community has them. it could be people who join and never posted/comments. could be someone who did it once and ghosted you. or even people who were active once, and then disappeared. this weekend - we fix that 👻 GHOST HUNT is going Friday to Sunday (so you have plenty of time) GOAL - send at least 10 real DMs to your quiet members then, come back here and report how many you brought back from the dead 🪦 Best DM script wins 🎁 FIRST, find your ghosts. there are three kinds. 1. BABY BOOS 🐣 - joined in the last 7-14 days. never posted, commented or opened a class. how to find them: Leaderboards → Level 1 → click the percentage link start with the ones who are ONLINE now (green dot on their photo). WHAT TO SEND: a real hello and one question about... 2. POLTERGEISTS 🎃 - joined, made a little noise. an intro, a comment or two. then vanished. how to find them: Leaderboards → Level 2 and Level 3 → click the percentage link again, start with whoever is online now. WHAT TO SEND: mention the thing they posted. say that you miss them. ask a question about... 3. FALLEN ANGELS 😈 - they used to show up. comments, wins, replies. lately - nothing. how to find them: Leaderboards → Level 4 and up → click the percentage link online now first. WHAT TO SEND: tell them you noticed and miss them. no guilt or shame. ask how they’re doing and what's going on in their life === HOW TO CHECK IF THEY GONE QUIET - click their profile. - click Contributions for your community. - check the date of their last post or comment. === THE RULES - real means you wrote it for that person. - no copy-paste welcome blast. no link. no offer. - one human talking to another human. == 10 DMs is maybe 30 minutes. one reply can turn into your next active member, or your next client. if your community is brand new and you don’t have 10 ghosts yet, message 10 people who liked your posts and never joined. same rules. READY TO GO? 😈

i can't believe it's Wed again. oh, well. it is. so, the Skool News are out. and here is the good, the bad and the ugly about it. let's get started. === the good: - Skool is working on Live Calls v2 - great improvements are under way: better quality, stability, performance, chat, etc. it's great news. let's see when it's out - i would love to use Skool live calls more - hopefully, it increases events attendance + group activity. - more payment methods are coming - also good. some ppl like to pay PayPal or smth else, not the credit card. so, hopefully, increases conversion/decreases resistance to paid. - Global search and Global Calendar are in process. both are great features. let's hope they come soon. Growth Boost UPDATE - for those who use it - v2 should be out this week. with this version: - ads are dynamic - so, if you change cover image, pricing, whatever, changes are reflected in the ads within 1 hour (very ambitious goal) - you should get a dedicated campaign with 10 images if you have 100 clicks and 1 paid sign-up over the last 30 days. this looks realistic. - partnership ads have a dedicated tab in your settings - GROWTH - you can see if you are eligible or not. still no transparency about YOUR efficiency score vs what score you must have, cause they say it will make you focus on the wrong thing 🤔 no comment === the bad: - they keep saying that they spend $5k per day on some campaigns. promises, promises, promises... no clarity for how many ppl? who are those ppl? what are their efficiency score? what's our efficiency scores? so, again, it's a BLACK BOX situation. === the ugly (truth): - Skool of the week... i usually don't watch - cause it's often "survivorship bias" or "lottery winners". both have no significance or learnings to my business or yours. but i did this time. and surprise-surprise , the first Skool of the week is Dr. Izzy Sealey, "who is making $4,419 MRR and it's only a few weeks old group - very new" - how cool is that 🤩 ?!

today is the last day to join Community Income Mastermind. doors close tomorrow when i wake up/start working (around 10am Jerusalem time). why i close doors? cause i want to give my undivided attention to those who are committed. before they do, i'm answering the three questions i get every single time. video's below if you'd rather watch. 1. "i haven't made any money yet. should i invest?" imagine you are opening a restaurant. you pay a year of rent, the design, the branding, the ads, the staff, the menu. all before one customer walks in. you invest first. you recover it after you open. "i must start earning before i start investing is the wrong premise" those are the rules of the game in real life, not in the dream land some gurus sell. 2. "i've bought programs/hired coaches before and got nothing." me too. programs with multiple zeros. zero results=cash. was it for nothing? no. i learned something. it was just expensive lessons, with a very low return. and also, i was not ready. i did not put my all. so, it is not just on them, it is on me as well. the program was not for me. the time was not right... so why is this one different? me. i care whether you get results. i limit how many people i take in. and this month i'm adding 1:1 accountability — monthly 1:1, weekly checking, and implementation calls after every workshop. i am not happy with reducing the price, get paid more, but less ppl results (10%). i want to keep the price, more ppl get results. i am moving towards the higher end - less people, better results first, but then more people, more results. 3. "can you guarantee results?" yes. if you keep showing up and doing the work. it's a two-way street. when members show up, i show up. when they need help, they get it. ask anyone in CIM. but a second guarantee: it takes 6- 12 months. hence, there's an annual plan. annual is $497. it's the commitment, and it's the one i'd pick. cause i am promising you get $5k per month. pretty good ROI.

yes, it's that time again. Skool News is out. and i have a controversial opinion about it (always). in this Skool News issue, they talk about "creator burnout" and "content treadmill". both are true. but they do not apply if you are NOT a content creator, but a business owner. here is what they are saying: - outsource growth to Skool - focus on delivery only sounds very attractive, right? spoiler alert - no, it does not. if you are a business owner, and you outsource smth to an external party, you want "a bulletproof service contract with clear performance metrics" (not me, Gemini said this). what does it mean? - "Clear Service Level Agreements (SLAs): Define exactly what success looks like. Include specific deadlines, quality standards, and response times so there is no ambiguity." now, tell me, do we have this with Skool GB? well, i will answer that - no: - no control - no clear deadlines - no expected standards all we are asked for is TRUST US TO DO IT RIGHT. well, you can do it - you can trust them to do it right. i don't. and here is the REAL PROBLEM: - they said "it is working for a bunch of people". cool. what bunch? give me real numbers, please! - i can't outsource smth, if i don't have any control over how it actually works for ME. it is not the way to do business. and i am a business owner, not content creator. - and then, they are saying "continue to create content and drive traffic". what?! why? wait? didn't you just said i will end up with creator burnout?! final point. difficult to digest. remember how they said that "only 5.0 rating is not good for a community"? hm, i wonder if the same applies to their own feature. so far, they never mentioned a SINGLE bad thing about GB in the news. that just sucks. to me. - never acknowledged people's concerned - never mentioned what does not work - never said anything bad about it so, i am sorry to say what Stanislavski used to say "I don't believe you". but, it's just me.

i am not good at winning and all. yet, i still try. so, i am taking part in the competition. and i want to invite you to do the same. but why, Lidia??? good question. - practice saying your pitch in 60 seconds aka elevator pitch *hence, the video - give me affiliate fees, if you join - what if you win? the prizes are good: - a chance to win $1,000 by talking about what you do for 60 seconds. Not a bad gig 😉 - 6 live event packages up for grabs to grow your business through workshops and webinars - $500 scholarships (provided you join LIVE The Verdict on Sep 30) too good to miss... right?! how to participate: - join the Live Event Studio - prep and record 60-second video (rules are in the comments) - post it in the Live Event Studio find my video in the comment. welcome to roast it. but first, the elevator video - you'll love it.
