As we roll over to a new year and enter the comma club (in terms of members) it seems fitting that this is also a good time to introduce a new moderator! Please help me in welcoming @Faith Adebayo who will be joining @Mona Weathers as moderators for this group. Both have a wealth of experience leading groups, have been around the CLASSIFIEDS since the beginning, and I am so grateful that they have both agreed to help out with ensuring the CLASSIFIEDS is a positive, supportive place where you want to hang out. I think this is also a great time to clarify some of the guidelines that people get confused about: 1. Posts in the community are for free offers (paid Skool groups are fine). 2. Paid offers must be posted in the Classroom (you can link to the classroom from the community). You can do this by becoming a Premium member. 3. You can post once a day in any category, NOT once a day in each category. If you have more than one group, you still only get one post a day. This is to prevent the feed from getting clogged up. 4. You must promote yourself (and you must be the one doing the posting - not a VA, admin, etc). Affiliate links and shoutouts are reserved for the #FriendFriday thread. 5. Absolutely not promotional DMs or DMs inviting people to join your group - this is grounds for immediate removal from the group. The whole purpose of the group is to promote yourself, so please do it in the public feed. I'm so looking forward to seeing what everyone creates this year, how everyone collaborates, and most importantly getting to know you all more through our meet ups, which you can find on the calendar. Don't forget that you are able to earn affiliate commission by using your personalized invite link in the right panel. Let's do this, team!

About 4 weeks ago, @Nick Nebelsky quietly mentioned that we were racing towards 1000 members, and I threw out the end of the year as a random goal to hit it... Since then, many of you have been doing amazing work referring as many people as possible. A special mention goes out to @Karen Castillo @Éva Raposa @Sondra Verva @Grant Hepworth and @Mona Weathers for the most referrals in the last month. As of December 28, we are 61 members away from reaching our goal. I'm not really one for random goals generally, but this one seems a little special for some reason. To ring out 2025 and ring in 2026 with 1000 members who are high-quality Skoolers committed to supporting each other, collaborating, and growing our businesses together seems exciting. Had I accepted everyone who requested to be a part of this group, we would easily be over 2,000 members by now, but instead, I've chosen to keep the group carefully curated, and I think the payoff has been well worth it. You can tell this group is special by the quality of the posts, the engaging comments, and the energy in our in-person meet ups! 😊 If you're up for it, I'd love your help in welcoming in 61 more amazing members to help us all grow together! Here's to an amazing 2026! 🎉

I’ve been asked why I limit the posting in this group to once a day, and the answer is for the same reason that I limit how much I personally post in this group each day (I try really hard to limit myself to 2!)…. It’s to protect your visibility. The goal of this group is to help you become as visible as possible. If people are able to post as often as they want, one person could easily clog the feed with their own posts and push everyone else down to lower pages. By limiting everyone to one post a day, everyone gets time on the first page, the quality of the posts goes up, and the overall feel is more conversational and less spammy. Thoughts???

On Wednesday, we will be having our first Premium meetup of the month affectionately called the PERSONALS, and no, it has nothing to do with dating! We will be doing two different break out groups this time. Members will have an opportunity for small group discussions with two different groups. The first discussion will be about growth and the second discussion will be about engagement. Participants will introduce themselves with a short two-sentence introduction to their group and a link in the chat at the beginning of each discussion, so you might want to type up something ahead of time that you can easily copy and paste. No one is forced to talk, so if you want to come and lurk, that's okay too! We're a pretty casual, supportive, and friendly bunch, though! I can't wait to see you there! Oh, and I will need a co-facilitator for the group that I am not a part of, so if you are interested in this, please send me a DM. If you are not yet a Premium member and you would like to attend the meetup, please click here.

“You should start with a cheap offer and work your way up.” Sounds safe. Sounds logical. Sounds responsible. It’s also backwards for most people. Here's something to think about: High-ticket offers are often the best place to start. Not because you’re trying to be fancy…But because they’re more sustainable, clearer, and smarter for long-term growth. Why high-ticket first actually works better: 1. It’s more sustainable as a business owner.Selling $27 offers means you need a lot of volume to survive.Selling one higher-ticket offer can give you breathing room, stability, and momentum. 2. You get deep, real feedback fast.When you work 1:1 or in small groups at higher levels, you: - See exactly where people get stuck - Hear their real objections - Learn what they actually need (not what they think they need) That becomes the foundation for everything you build later. 3. You build better low-ticket offers later.Most low-ticket offers fail because they’re built from guesses.High-ticket work removes the guesswork. So why does this myth stick around? Because many people haven’t yet built a high-ticket offer they truly believe is worth selling. So instead of solving that… They shrink the offer. Shrink the price. And try to make up for it with volume. That’s not scaling.That’s survival mode. The real order that works best: 1. ✅ Solve real problems at a high level 2. ✅ Work closely with real humans 3. ✅ Refine your process 4. ✅ THEN create low-ticket offers that are built on proof Low-ticket should be the by-product of experience…Not the starting point. 👉 Want to build your offers the smart way?
