Every June, the same thing happens. Posts get quieter. Members log in less. Engagement dips. And most community owners do exactly what you'd expect: they post less too. That's the trap. And it explains why the same people restart from scratch every September. Here's what to do instead. 1. Schedule your content in advance and don't touch it Summer is the best time to batch. Use quieter weeks to write four to six weeks of posts, then schedule them out. When your competitors go quiet in July, you're still showing up daily without thinking about it. 2. Run a member spotlight series Engagement doesn't have to come from you. A weekly spotlight post, asking a member to share one win and one thing they're working on, keeps the community warm without you carrying the whole thing. It works because people show up when they're featured. 3. Do your best deep work on the thing you've been avoiding New module. Better onboarding. A resource you've been meaning to build. Summer gives you the space to do it. Most owners spend September wishing they'd used June and July differently. 4. Start a lightweight summer challenge A five-day or four-week challenge with a simple daily action keeps members returning to the community. Low effort for them, high visibility for you. The ones who complete it usually become your most engaged members in Q4. 5. Send a personal check-in DM to your quietest members Not a broadcast. A genuine one-line message. "Hey, just checking in. How's summer treating you?" It takes twenty minutes to send ten of these. The responses will tell you more about your community than any metric will. September rewards the people who didn't stop. What are you doing this summer to stay ahead? This is the sort of stuff we teach and discuss in Skool Monetization Skool. Would love to see you there.

Bigger than most people admit. Smaller than most people think. The research is pretty consistent. People who make the jump cite $5k-$12k monthly recurring revenue (MRR) as the point where it starts to feel real. Not comfortable. Real. Let's take the lower end. $5,000 a month. If you're selling a one-off $27 product, that's 186 sales every single month. Not once. Every month. And that's before platform fees, payment processing, and tax take their cut. That sounds bleak. And on your own, it kind of is. But here's what changes when someone shows you the way. You stop guessing which products to build. You stop underpricing because you're scared. You stop posting into the void, hoping something sticks. You start making decisions that actually move the number. It doesn't become easy. But it becomes easier. And that gap, between fumbling through it alone and having a clear picture of what works, is where most people either break through or give up. Most people get there in 1-3 years of consistent part-time effort. A few get there faster with an existing audience. Some never get there at all. Not because the model doesn't work, but because they never got clear on the economics. The sticking points are almost always the same. Pricing too low to make the numbers work. No clear path that takes someone from "I'm in the community" to "I just bought something." Building content instead of building revenue. Treating the community like a hobby while hoping it becomes a business. The turning point is rarely a breakthrough. It's usually the moment someone finally gets honest about what wasn't working and changed it. Here's the thing nobody says out loud. Most people who struggle aren't failing because this is hard. They're failing because nobody ever sat them down and showed them what a working model actually looks like. That's the gap Skool Monetization Lab tries to close. Not a guaranteed path. Not a secret system. Just a fighting chance. Real frameworks, real numbers, someone who'll tell you what's broken and why.

Share a picture or pictures of something or someone that represents your why. And share something about your motivations: 🌸Why are you in business? 🎉Why are you doing what you're doing? I'll go first: Personally my why is around family and hobbies, having time for it all, and supporting our family financially. 🐕🚶My husband and Shadow, our pup 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧Family back east and in CA, so travel too! 🌺Gardening Professionally, it's all of you. My why in continuing through a tough pivot in this part of my business (helping content creators get on TV through BloomingVoices Streaming TV Community) is a deep conviction that the world needs more positive messages, more connection and more authenticity. I'm motivated to get positive messages into a larger audience in order to make a difference in people's lives and our societies. And as I've come to know so many here on skool, I'm in awe and so grateful to journey with you! You're all so beautiful, have important things to communicate and bring beauty into the world.

Well, @Faith Adebayo our moderator extraordinaire would tell you millions because we are a public group and we get indexed by both search engines and AI "things" like ChatGPT and Claude, but just this last month, we had more than 9,000 visitors to the community. How cool is that?!?!?! Oh, and we are getting dangerously close to hitting the 2k mark of genuine Skool group owners as members! Know anyone you might want to refer????
