Do you know one of the easiest ways to get butts to your live events is using calendar reminders? Right? Finding a free service with easy to implement tech is hard to find at times. And then there’s AddCal.co This beauty is two-fold: - customer (not you) can read your announcement and click on their preferred calendar service to add your event to their calendar (Gmail, outlook, etc) - You can create an event on addcal and share the associated calendar links to your audience And now addcal is getting fancier with their analytics 👇 The service is free, and all you need to do is to create your events and share the links. How do I use this? - In my emails! - Social posts - Basically anywhere you want to enable and make it easier for someone to add your event to their calendar Remember, not everyone is on Skool and not all of your events need to be hosted inside the Skool live video service. My monthly Journey with the Stars event is publicized on meetup, via email and inside my Skool calendar. What tools do you use regularly to enable audience participation and engagement? Share yours! no affiliate links though 😀 Ps addcal has no affiliate program 😢

I just removed over 10 people from this community. Why? I have a rule: if your profile says "hi", or "x", or "my name is"... AND you haven't posted in ANY groups, you're likely not a candidate who can benefit from Skool at this time. Why join a Skool to build Skools if you're not actually doing the minimum? I had forgotten to do this housekeeping in this community, and it was time!! Remember, friend, you don't need the world in your community. You need aligned people. Find them. What's your delete rule? Are you removing old and stagnant content? VIP has access to #Why Retention Is the Real Growth Strategy - and in that, I mention that deleting content, removing people, or declining join requests is not a bad thing. It's good! Only allow aligned peeps into your world, and only maintain content that is relevant. ---> Let's discuss in the comments!
