I'm thrilled to share that @Brook McCarthy, a longtime business buddy of mine, a veteran business coach and marketing mentor, is taking on Ownership of this group. Brook is 17 years in business and, with a background in Public Relations and digital marketing, she knows the value of collaboration over competition, how to get free publicity on mainstream (and niche) media, and has helped countless soloists and small biz owners to partner up, borrow each other's audiences, create referral engines, and do more with less. Brook has no immediate plans to change anything drastic here, and I promised her I'd stick around to ensure that you're comfortable. Please join me in helping Brook feel welcome, and post any questions or comments you have below. Brook tells me that she's very keen to hear from you, including any ideas you might have to make this space as inclusive, valuable, and useful as possible.

I’ve got a quick update for you about Collab Club. As of June 11th, I’ll be archiving the community, which means the space is no longer be accepting new members and commenting/posting will be turned off when it is archived — but you’ll still have access to everything you unlocked inside the Classroom (even after it's archived). This decision has been sitting with me for a little while, and it’s coming from a really aligned place — not out of burnout or frustration, but clarity. Here’s why: - My vision is shifting — having a group that’s purely about collaborations no longer reflects the direction I’m moving in. That version of me was essential to get here, but she’s not the one steering the ship anymore. - It’s not growing organically, and promoting it requires more energy than I have to give right now — especially when my focus is on higher-impact projects that truly light me up. - Cost-wise, it just doesn’t make sense to keep it running. While the $9 annual plan helped a bit, in the end I was just breaking even (if that), and I’d rather put that energy elsewhere for now. I may bring back a version of this space down the track — something more aligned with where I’m headed — but for now, I’m gently closing the doors with so much appreciation for everyone who joined, participated, and explored this collab space with me. And as a thank you, if you’re an annual member, you now have access to the Workshop All Access Pass (normally $55), with 9 workshops/trainings inside on collaborations, guest speaking, bundles and more. That’s my gift to you for being part of this journey. If you’d like to stay connected and keep learning from me, I’m still here on Skool through my Woo-Preneur School, or for collaborations be sure to join my Bundles of Bundles Facebook Group and of course, inside offers and CustomGPTs that I'm building. This isn’t goodbye — it’s just a recalibration.

I've decided this year that unless I'm super excited to host the monthly workshops for my Collab Better membership, I'm going to outsource them and invite other experts to share their knowledge and wisdom with my members. Whilst this is not a paid exchange there are some perks for the guest speaker - Pitch allowed at the end of the workshop (no affiliate required, but nice if available) - Email promo of the workshop to my entire audience and follow up freebie swap email to my audience (swap other way nice to have, but not necessary) - Promo on my socials and inside my communities - Workshop is available to all for free 24hrs and then gated within Collab Better membership - Full permission to repurpose workshop after 1 month of delivery (sell workshop on own platform) - immediate repurposing of the idea into other content pieces - When Skool launches affiliate program for membership owners, recurring commission for any referrals Here are the upcoming workshops, comment if you want to host one of these - if you have other Collaboration related experience or something you have found that you want to share then I'd be interested to hear about it. - Spring Visibility Refresh - Pop-Up Podcast - Joint Webinars - Collab Magazine - Collaborative Course - Community Builder - Host Your First Collaborative Space (communities) - Holiday Themed Events - Freebie Swap Please pitch any other ideas you have in the comments (or DM me if you like) - I would be open to more than 1 workshop a month if there's enough cool ideas.

Hi! What would you all consider a good commission for promoting someone’s membership ? I have a $49 month membership that sells high end Squarespace templates, white label Squarespace training portal, SM plr posts and tons of training and Skool Community. I want to start my affiliate program so I’m thinking either 15 or 20% recurring commission monthly What do you all think ? Thanks !!
