trick or treat, but the candy is new members. crews of 3-4 ppl. you go door to door through each other's communities and beyond, leaving comments worth reading. 🎯 goal: 5+ new members each, 15+ per crew, by Monday 12pm Israel time. people don't join a community because you asked them to. they join because you said something useful under someone else's post, and they clicked your name to see who you are. that's the heist. but it's not the real prize. the real prize is learning to build WITH people instead of next to them. most community builders go it alone. the ones who grow faster have a few people who show up in their threads, send them members, and swap notes on what's working. this weekend you find out who those people are for you. pick your crew like you'll keep them don't grab the first three names. look for people who: - serve a similar audience to yours, but don't sell the same thing - are at a similar stage, so the swap goes both ways - actually post and reply in here, not just lurk === THE RULES 1. get a crew - form your own crew of 3-4 in the comments below and give it a name. - no crew? comment "solo" and i'll help you find one. 2.write down your starting number - check your member count today. your crew's starting number is all your counts added up. 3.go door to door - start with your crewmates' communities. comment on their posts. - then go beyond: first, check the Vault (i am updating it today), then find other RELEVANT Skool communities - anywhere your people already hang out. 4.leave a treat, not a flyer - a treat is an answer - an example from your own community, your story, your experience, your case study - a flyer is "great post, check out my community." no links in comments. no DM blasts. 5.report back by Monday, 19th Oct, 12pm Israel time, drop in this thread: - starting count, ending count, new members - your biggest insight from the Heist - what made the biggest difference - one thing your crew is doing together next (optional)

the Community Clinic has a new hire 🤩 she works the front desk. she’s open 24/7. she doesn’t sleep, which makes one of us. meet the Triage Nurse. you tell her what isn’t working in your community. she tells you which day of the Community Clinic is yours. then she helps you figure out the calendar, in your own time zone. Sydney, Singapore, Auckland, London. she does the maths so you don’t wake up at 2am by mistake. then the good bit. - she helps you turn “it’s just not working” into one sharp question for your hot seat. - she reads your about page. she asks the annoying follow-ups. she writes it down. - you walk in prepared, and i get to the fix faster. one thing she won’t do: tell you what’s wrong. that’s my job, live, in the hot seat. she might sneak you the best day. she might pretend she didn’t see you skip the queue. Community Clinic, APAC Edition. October 22-24. free to join. are you coming and bringing your APAC friends? ps go check here out - the Triage Nurse - and tell me what she said to you ⬇️

my internet went down Tuesday morning, and still down. waiting for the technician to come & fix 🤞🏻 yet, preparing for the worst you might be wondering how i post this, yes, we still have 5G but... anyway so, i just bought and downloaded 6 books on community building 💪🏻 yes, it's time to get serious bout building communities Skool or no Skool, the fundamentals are the same and this month theme in Community Income Mastermind is content outside and inside community. so, i needed to dive deep anyway. here is the list: - The Business of Belonging by David Spinks - Find Your People by Jennie Allen - People Powered by Jennie Allen - Buzzing communities by Richard Millington - Building Brand Communities by Carrie Melissa Jones, Charles Vogl - Superfans by Pat Flynn anything i've missed worth adding to the list? ps once finished, i will add this to the Vault as "suggested literature" with my commentary

22-24 October, Community Clinic is organized around APAC time zone. - if you're in Asia, Australia or New Zealand, you know how this usually goes - the last Community Clinic started at 1am in Sydney - you either set an alarm or watched the recording this one runs in your afternoon and evening 🤩 22 - 24 October 5pm Sydney · 7pm Auckland · 2pm Singapore · 3pm Tokyo · 11:30am India and 7am London, 8am Europe, if you're joining from my side about three hours a day. an hour of roundtable on real members' communities, with guests i'll announce soon then 90 minutes of hot seats and then... there might be more you bring your community and tell me what isn't working. you leave with the one thing i'd fix first. everything free live. 🚨 ACTION NOW: save the dates PS one more thing. i need your help: - every Clinic gets a theme from a doctor show. last time it was New Amsterdam. - this one should be Australian or a Kiwi one. RFDS is top of my list, but i haven't watched it yet. - if you know a better one, tell me.

every community has them. it could be people who join and never posted/comments. could be someone who did it once and ghosted you. or even people who were active once, and then disappeared. this weekend - we fix that 👻 GHOST HUNT is going Friday to Sunday (so you have plenty of time) GOAL - send at least 10 real DMs to your quiet members then, come back here and report how many you brought back from the dead 🪦 Best DM script wins 🎁 FIRST, find your ghosts. there are three kinds. 1.

FALLEN ANGELS 😈 - they used to show up. comments, wins, replies. lately - nothing. how to find them: Leaderboards → Level 4 and up → click the percentage link online now first.
