Today was another travel day - we left a day early to avoid the snow again. We had a wonderful holiday, but it's nice to have everyone safely tucked into bed at home as well! There is just a little over 24 hours left in 2025 and we are only 28 members away from our goal of 1000 Classifieders by 2026! You all have done an amazing job with the referrals and the shoutouts, and I couldn't have reached this goal without you! Every single referral is important, but I want to give a special mention to @Jake Hill and @Diana Frank who have referred the most Skoolers in the last 72 hours. If you were at the last PERSONALS meet up, you will know that I have a special opportunity planned for January, but because of the amazing work you all have been doing since Sunday, I've decided to start the challenge a bit early. So here it is... 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟴, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗝𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝟮𝟴, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝟳𝟮 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀! Qualified Skoolers means someone who has an active Skool group showing on their profile. They cannot be an admin, a moderator, or a co-owner. They have to show as the owner of the group, and the group has to be visible on their profile page. Use your personalized invitation link (found in the right panel under active members) to have your referrals credited to you). The winner will have a 72-hour period in February where I will pin a post of their choice. The post must meet my standards for quality (we will work together to ensure quality if necessary). There will be other ways in the coming weeks and months to earn/buy pinned posts, but I hope this is a fun way to kick things off! Even if you don't have a lot of Skoolers in your own group, you can still reach out to Skoolers you know in other groups who are looking for enhanced visibility or who are looking for an amazing group to network and collaborate with.

If you are already on the Premium tier and want to know how to make the most of it, or are thinking about upgrading, here is everything you need to know... ⭐️ 🗞️ In the Standard tier, you can post in the community once a day in any category (except for days with a hashtag prompt, then you get an extra post!). There are two kinds of acceptable community posts: "anything" promoting your Skool group, or offers that are free (freebies, free workshops, podcast promotions, your own YouTube channel promotions). You can see the list of categories in the How It Works pinned post. These "rules" are for both standard and premium members. 🌟 🗞️ Now for the additional benefits for Premium members: 1. Premium members are allowed to put an "ad" in the classroom to advertise anything they want - free or paid. The ad stays up for as long as they are a premium member. Ads rotate weekly. 📰 You can place your ad by creating a draft course in your own community and then copying the course key and sending it to me to copy into the Classifieds. Course keys can be found by going to the thumbnail of the course in your classroom and clicking on the three dots in the top right corner. 2. Premium members also have access to all live events on the calendar. This includes meetups twice a month (called the PERSONALS) and open drop-ins once a month. 📆 The meetups are structured and focus on improving your visibility as well as helping you make connections and foster collaboration. 3. Premium members also have the opportunity to host their own free masterclass for all members on the CLASSIFIEDS calendar. This gives you the chance to provide value to the members and then pitch your group or product at the end. 💵 In order to qualify to host a masterclass, you have to first take my How to Teach a High-Value, High-Converting Masterclass workshop ($27). The next one is being offered on January 6th with doors opening for registration January 2nd. After taking the prerequisite workshop, the first masterclass you offer is of no charge. Subsequent masterclasses that you would like to offer will be subject to a $10 administrative fee.

Ever wonder how you can let people know about your Skool community? Feel like you have so much to offer but don't know how to get people involved? Wish there was somewhere you were actually allowed to promote yourself and talk about your offer? Look no further! The Skool Classifieds are the place where you are not only allowed to promote yourself, but you are actually encouraged to do so! Like the Classifieds section of your local newspaper or the Community Message Board at the gym, this is the place to let people know what you do and what you offer. Here's how it works: 1. Invite other Skoolers you know to join the group using your invite link. The more people join, the more people there are to promote to! 2. You can post once a day only. This is to keep the group from getting spammy. If it's spammy, people won't read and you won't get noticed. Post as many days in a row as you want, but please do not post the same thing day after day - mix it up! 3. Make sure you add your post to the appropriate group/heading. Please see below for a description of what each group is for. If you don't see a group that is appropriate, message me. 4. Self-Promotion is what this group is all about, but please do not DM people with your offers. You will be removed from the group for doing this. 5. Introduce yourself in this thread, and then scroll up and find someone you have something in common with. Reach out. There are some really amazing people here! 😉 This is a place for us to support each other for our mutual benefit. Hate speech, offensive language, or general negativity will be deleted, and you will be removed from the group. *Please check out this post for more tips on how to get great results from your posts. And also this post by one of our own community members who has had great success growing his group through the CLASSIFIEDS.
