A lot of people judge a community by the sales page… But the smart buyers who are going to SPEND real money with you will do their due diligence and look at what members' experiences are like. Here are 3 quick checks a POTENTIAL member looks at before joining any online community: 💥 Member results: Are people actually improving, learning, or getting wins? 💥 Activity + support: Are conversations alive? Do members get real help? 💥 Negative patterns: One complaint means nothing… repeated complaints matter. I made a Yelp like site for online communities for this very reason! A way to display how well your community is doing to potential members! I'm looking for early users! (it's completely free, unlike Trustpilot that charges $100s+ a month) 💎Comment down below if you would be down to list your community!!!

I wish you a wonderful new year!

I have a little gift for you this year. I just added a course from my paid group to the classroom, and it's available for you for free till the end of the year. If you're on the premium tier it will stay free after the new year too. The course is a bit over an hour, but is divided into nice short digestible chunks, so you should be able to plow through it in one sitting. The course is called Sales & Marketing Basics and it should quickly bring you up to speed in terms of the foundational concepts of selling and marketing. Let me know how you like! And have a great Holiday!

Here's another inspirational tune I just found. And no, that's not me 😂

Hey everyone, Just wanted to share what I've learned from reviewing hundreds of member applications and why some people get rejected (or even banned) from Skool communities. This might help if you're trying to join communities or if you're a community owner trying to figure out who to let in. Here's what I actually look at when someone tries to join: - Profile picture - This is huge. If it looks AI-generated, that's a red flag. If the face is cut off weird or I can't see the face at all, probably not approving you. I need to see a real person because it helps me quickly tell if you're legit or not. - Real name - If I can Google your name and find you on other platforms, you're probably real. Simple as that. - Social media links - If you have your other profiles linked, it shows me you're serious about Skool. Also, click your own links to make sure they work. You'd be surprised how many broken links I find. - Communities you're in - I check if you're in free or paid communities, and I look at your comments to see if you're actually participating or just jumping in to spam and leave. - The Mayor Bridges thing - If you have this set up, that's a green flag. It means you took time to fill out your profile. - Country and email alignment - If your country matches where you're actually joining from and your email matches your name, that helps. What NOT to do: - Don't put "Hi I'm new" in your bio - spammers do this - Don't put your phone number or personal email in your bio - Don't use a company name as your profile name if you want people to engage with you - Make sure your bio is grammatically correct (use ChatGPT if English isn't your first language) Here's the thing, this stuff doesn't just matter for getting approved. It affects how people treat you INSIDE communities too. People engage more with profiles that look like real humans. For community owners - if you're wondering why you're not getting engagement, check your profile first. If you're using some random image or your company name instead of your real name and face, that might be why people aren't connecting with you.
