I've always presented in other communities; it's just something I do. I never thought of it as a growth strategy - it was... just showing up, sharing something useful, and moving on. Then one day, my wife - who never looks at my stats - glanced over my shoulder and asked a question I wasn't expecting. "Why does your community grow every time you do one of those presentations?" I looked closer. She was right. Every spike in new members lined up with a guest session somewhere. It wasn't from YouTube, or a post that went semi-viral... It was the presentations. I'd been sitting on the fastest growth channel in my toolkit and hadn't even noticed..!? That realisation is what built the strategy I now call The Roadshow Method. One well-prepared session in the right community. Borrowed trust. A room full of warm, pre-qualified people who already like the person who invited you in. TCRL just hit 1,000 members, and a significant chunk of THAT is down to this one method. Thursday 11th June, I'm running a live working session showing you exactly how to do it yourself. Tonight is the last day at the current price. 8 pm BST / 3 pm EDT / 12 pm PDT. https://tinyurl.com/TheContentRevenueLab Des Dreckett - The Content Revenue Lab

I posted every day for two months, and the community was fine. Then I left a bit of space in the feed, and something shifted that I wasn't expecting. For the record, I still post every day. That's just how I'm wired. But what I found out is that it's got nothing to do with why the community works. When I started leaving more space in the feed, members began filling it. Not because I asked them to, just because there was room. The conversations got more interesting. It felt less like a newsletter with a comments section and more like an actual community. I've heard versions of this from other community owners since. One person posted daily for nine months straight, took five days off, and said, despite the short-term dip, they'd do it again just for what it did to their headspace. Someone else uninstalled their apps for a couple of weeks just to see what happened. The world didn't end. Surprisingly, members were really understanding. They came back feeling lighter and more present than they had in months. So, check this out. What I think is actually happening is that constant posting can mask the thing you're not dealing with. When you create space, you find out whether the community was genuinely working or whether your activity was just filling the silence. Post every day if that's your thing. Just don't assume your members need you to. If you're running a Skool community and trying to figure out what's actually driving growth versus what's just keeping you busy, that's what we work on inside the Skool Monetisation Lab. https://www.skool.com/skool-growth-lab-2540/about Des Dreckett - Skool Monetisation Lab

Imagine you're a pro salesman, going on a golf club full of rich people, trying to network and get them to hire you. You won't just come shouting what you do. You will develop small talk, say something personal, something interesting about you. Ask questions, let them talk about themselves. Let them complain about a problem that you can solve. Only after they gain your trust, you talk about what you do. And you make them think that it was their idea to hire you to solve their problems. How would you start that conversation? Asking a question? Sharing some fact that starts a conversation about a problem you can solve? Do that here. Try to start a conversation that can lead you to talk about what you do and make people want to keep talking to you about it. I'll engage with it like I'm your ideal client. This is a pitching exercise. I got several others at Roast & Promote. You can engage with them anytime and network with people who will be interested in what you do. You can also get constructive criticism on your ads and promotion strategies.
