@Jenna Ostrye made this post HERE but I wanted to give it a little more visibilty. Forest Coughtry is a Skooler who went on ONE podcast, which led to him gaining $7,000 in only a few weeks of being on Skool. He literally just messaged a podcast that he thought had an audience aligned with his offer. And it wasn't even an email...he left a YouTube comment 😆 BUT he framed it in a way that would benefit the podcast's audience. Also because AI guesting agencies are blasting emails to every podcast on Earth, most podcasters don’t even read pitch emails anymore. Befriending a podcast you want to guest on through social media...like LinkedIn or Instagram...or even leaving a YouTube comment like he did, is the new way to get booked. (Just thought I’d throw that tip in there!) IIf you want to listen to the episode that got him all these members, it was THIS EPISODE I've been in the podcast game a long long time and guesting is still a super under rated way to get new members. Have you guested on a podcast recently?

Today on Skool News, Sam mentioned the number 1 traffic source for Skoolers right now is Instagram and about all the winners use Manychat within Instagram. For those that don't know, it is an automation tool for Instagram that automatically sends messages when users comment with a specific keyword on posts, Reels, or Stories. Apparently it is really effective. I'd also like to welcome @Heston Roberts to the Lounge. He is a manychat expert! Who here has used Manychat before and what did you think?

I’m stoked to have you here! This community is a dedicated space for Skoolers to talk with each other about exactly how to get traffic to our communities. I am not a guru, think of this as more of a think tank. We have something a little different here. Inside the community, you’ll see a link for our 24/7 Live Traffic Call. Think of this as the "Lounge" itself... it is a live room that is open all day, every day. You can jump in at any time to talk traffic, brainstorm a hook, or ask for feedback on a video you're about to post. If you're feeling stuck or just want to co-work with other people who are "in the trenches," this is where you want to be! Note: When you hop in, make a comment in the pinned LOUNGE LIVE LINK post so other members know to join you. 👋 Your First Move Head over to the "Introduce Me" category and post a video introduction. Don't overthink it... just grab your phone, hit record, and tell us: A little about you... What your Skool is about... What your main traffic source is... Post that video in the "Introduce Me" category and then go comment on someone else's intro. And then hit the notification bell on the pinned LIVE CALL LINK so you get notified of other people joining the lounge lives. I’m looking forward to seeing your videos and meeting you all!
