I recommend the classifieds a lot around skool and 2 of them already converted to paid members, so I'm almost getting my premium membership for free. There is no better place for self promotion and this place is the main reason why Plan Your Tech reached 100 members. I learn a lot by watching how @Shannon Boyer manages this community. She is very creative in finding ways to engage people here and incentivizing them to make high quality posts and not turning this place into a spamming mess like most self promotion spaces are. Thank you so much for all of you here for helping this place be what it is!

Some of you heard about my stressful Santa situation in our last PERSONALS meet up. Well, the snow forecast has not gotten better, and the gifts are still at my parents, so we've made a last minute decision to split up. The kids and I will go tomorrow morning, and my husband will join us later in the day (kennel issues for the dog and roadworthy vehicles are another consideration...). That means that I am madly packing, wrapping, cleaning, and picking up after two kids who are tearing the house apart faster than I can put it together so that we can leave a day early. Long story not so short, Metrics Monday will be back in the new year. As we close in on 888 members, I am so thankful for each and every one of you, and I hope you all have a restful, peaceful, and fun holiday season with those you love. Some of us spoke quietly about a goal to reach 1000 members by the end of the year. It's not totally out of the question, and all your lovely referrals have been inching us closer and closer every day! I will be online over the holidays as family commitments permit, and I look forward to seeing what you share here. I have a few big things happening at the beginning of the year that you will want to watch out for. 😉 Talk soon!

That one caught me off guard. Feels like the year hit fast-forward overnight. Quick question for you… 👉 When are you wrapping up work to actually enjoy the holidays? 👉 Or are you working straight through? This time of year is exactly when having a solid routine and the right people around you makes the difference between burning out and staying in control. That’s something we focus heavily on inside The Prosperity Network. Simple systems, daily momentum, and a community that keeps you moving even when the calendar goes crazy. Curious to hear your plans 👇

Most people jump straight to looking at houses, before they understand their numbers. And that’s how buyers fall in love with homes they can’t afford, walk away discouraged, or lock into a payment that stretches them too thin. The first real step isn’t pre-approval. It’s knowing your comfort zone before a lender defines it for you. If you ever want a walkthrough of how to figure out your own numbers, I break it down inside Home Buyer Skool

If you don't know what Reddit is let me tell you: It's the biggest community platform in the world (if you consider a community platform as something separate from social media, like I do). It is among the top 10 most visited websites in the internet. It has lot of potential for making great conections and thanks to it I got a great high ticket client. Letit is a copy of Reddit, that I personaly find very interesting and promissing. Here is a complete breackdown of the pros and cons of each. ---> Reddit PROS: - It's a huge platform with all kinds of users. - If you look at the right places you will find very high quality conections that will be genuinely open to talk to you and give you opportunities you won't find anywhere else. - It's a SEO goldmine. What does that mean? It means that when someone googles an anwer to a question, if that question was answered on Reddit, it will be one of the first results. And if you're the one giving that answer, all the credit goes to you. That's how I got my client, by answering questions people made there. AI also loves using Reddit's answers as a reference. - You can find a community for every single niche there. There is a community for talking about eggs that has thousands of active users posting every day, for example. You will most definetelly find people talking about your very specific niche there. CONS: - It has a very anti consumerism culture. Advertizing under performs there compared to other social platforms. - For the reason above, getting clients on Reddit is very tricky. Self promotion is a sin. Any sort of CTA in your posts, as subtle as they might look, will get you downvoted to oblivion and sometimes even baned. You need a very specific approach for doing marketing there. - Moderation is very annoying and toxic in a lot of places. Reddit's moderators are volunteers with God complexes, that will a lot of times ban users for the most stupid reasons. - It's completely annonymous. You can use your name and photo there but that's not the culture. As a result, it's hard to build your brand using Reddit and also hard to find brands to compare to yours. Reddit is all about focusing on content and rejecting brands.
