In their Q3 report Etsy highlighted that customers want a human connection — and this section really helps build trust. A few gentle reminders: • Add yourself in the Members section (and roles if you work with others) • Share a short, honest story about why you started • Include at least one personal photo (you, family, or logo) • Use other images to show best sellers or seasonal favourites (with alt text) I’ve created a video and some notes HERE If you want help with your about page or how to use chat gtp to check grammar, spellings and add relevant keyword please just ask and I can add another video Let me know if your is complete and optimised in the comments below 💛https://youtu.be/K5K8TbzGer0?si=ZIz8eGhgy1rqj5dD

As you may or may not know, engagement is extremely important on Skool 🌱 For our community to grow, I need to be active in other communities and consistently show up and engage. That little 🔥 next to my name shows I’ve been active every single day for at least 30 days — and you can all see where you show up too by checking your profile 👀✨ Each Skool community also has to choose a category. For example, health or hobbies. We’re in the money category 💸 — and honestly, that means we have to work extra hard to get noticed. In hobby-based communities, competition for the discovery page is much lower. But in the money category… it’s tough 😅 When I started this community, we were around #3600. Through consistent activity and engagement, we climbed to about #1066 before Christmas… and now (drum roll please 🥁🥁🥁) we are #894 😱🎉 That is HUGE. However, with most of us heading back to work this week, I can already see how easy it would be for that number to slip again 📉 One thing I’ve noticed is that we’re not always liking each other’s posts — and likes really matter ❤️ They take seconds, cost nothing, boost confidence, and help everyone level up on the leaderboard. 👉 Please keep liking each other’s posts — every like truly counts. So… I’m thinking we could run a little monthly engagement competition to make this fun and motivating 🎯✨ I’m just not quite sure what the prize should be yet 🤔 Any ideas? Or would you be up for this? Let me know in the comments 💬💕 Together, we grow 🚀💛
