A man stopped me at the store and asked me about my Skool hat. I told him about it and he said he might join. New way to get members?? 😆 Do you have any Skool merch and has it ever led to some conversations?

Happy Sunday! I just wanted to make a quick video talking about how making content, jumping on live calls and doing podcasts actually HELPED my social anxiety. Exposure therapy I guess? 😆 Hope yall have a good rest of your weekend!

I'm not saying to do engagement farming or self-promo spam, because it's obvious when someone has the wrong intentions. I AM saying to start having real conversations. Jump into other communities' live calls, write well-thought-out replies, and be the kind of community member you wish you had. So many good things can come from just rubbing elbows with other Skoolers. Things like podcast guesting opportunities, getting to lead a call for another community, or collaborating on posts...all kinds of magical things can open up for you when you start having real conversations. I've been on this platform for over two years and have had countless talks with other community owners. And I realized working alongside successful people raises your chances of success exponentially. I'm not saying Skool should be your main traffic source, but you are leaving a lot on the table if you aren't out there talking to other Skoolers. (but for the love, don't do it with self promo in mind) Who has jumped in a live call for a community that isn't your own this week?

I recently did a podcast interview with @Matthew Burns that is coming out very soon, and he lays out how important reviews are to building trust for our communities. He made a website called ProveWorth, which is basically like the TrustPilot for Skool communities where your members can leave you reviews. I really encourage y’all to make one and start getting those reviews because more trust = better conversion. Here is mine if you want to check it out. https://proveworth.com/evaluate?community=traffic-lounge

Super excited for this update!
