visibility is traffic. traffic is new members. that's the whole reason for this post. we're heading into the 100 members sprint (hope you join - it's free for level 3 members). so here's a secret weapon tactic to go with it. full disclosure: credit goes to @Des Dreckett who mentioned/showed it to me the goal = get on a leaderboard. 7 days. 30 days. all time if you can, but you don't need it. === the steps: 1. pick a community where your ICP hangs out. paid beats free - people who paid have money. 2. go through the classroom. 3. post your progress. 4. comment on and cheer for other people. that's it. keep doing it and very soon you'll see your name on the leaderboard. === why it works: - it's free. paid community? still $9 or $20 a month. small. - the right people see your profile, and your community with it. - you're in full control. what you do = what you get. more you do, more you get. === i will show you mine, if you show me yours... let's chat in the comments ⬇️

Thank you, @Lidia Axe for the $25 Amazon gift card from the Community Clinic drawing! 🤩 The Clinic it self was a win - so surprice surprice ! Now I'm looking forward to the delivery of two books - one from my list and one I discovered in the chat in our "Skool First 100" community. Wuuut wuuuT 🎉 Made me very happy - thank you Lidia 🥰 The Art of Gathering - Priya Parker Emotional Agility - Susan David For sure great knowledge for me when hosting my community ... 🌞

I have now been on Skool for almost a month... working through the Hackathon and I am learning a stackload. Gearing up for the first 100 hundred sprint.... Would like to know what made the biggest difference for you and when implemented it grew your community the quickest?

Thank you so much, @Lidia Axe 🧡, for the $25 Amazon gift card from the Community Clinic drawing! I've finally turned it into homework: 📘 Superfans – Pat Flynn 📗 Build Your Community – Richard Millington One is about turning followers into real fans. The other is about keeping a community buzzing once people are in. That feels like exactly the right combo for where ling.academy is right now. Fair warning: my track record of finishing books is… let's call it "ambitious." So if you see me around here in two weeks, ask me what chapter I'm on. Public accountability, community-style. 😄 Anyone read these? Spoilers welcome.

and messy AF but i'm still doing it and that's the reality of a business === i launched it yesterday. the messy part, full transparency: - i added 4 questions to the form after the first people had already submitted. oops. - the badge didn't exist when i announced it. i built it after. and the scary part: - i said 100 communities. we're at 6. and while there is lots of time... - if it flops, it flops very publicly. - so, it is very embarassing. and the internal voice keeps saying "who do you think you are to do this?" === and then this happened. i got 3 submissions last night. plus 2 more ppl in the process (asking questions, technical difficulties). and then today... @Alexa Leitner submitted her numbers AND ACTUALLY put the BADGE (newly created) on her profile photo. the very first one ☘️ well, after mine (did you see it?) if you complete the form , you'll get the same badge!!!! Alexa, my friend, you don't know what this means to me - thank you. thank you. thank you . you did it - you trusted me. you trusted the movement. === that's the thing. your launch, your community, your classroom - it is gonna bet messy af and scary af. but, you've got to do it. or you will never know. the result. === are you joining the movement? already submitted? the clover is yours - i will share it in the DMs. a ring for your profile photo, an image for your about page. not yet? let's go! let's help each other to go from nowhere to $3k! ⬇️ what's the scary AF thing you're doing messy today? ps just to make sure, if you complete the form, you will get the same badge for your profile. so, we will recognize each other!!!
