🎁 Story Selling Friday?! 🤓

⭐

🔥

OK... GOSH, I hope this will be fun! On Fridays in this group (which will really be about 36-48 hours long to more or less honor when it's Friday SOMEWHERE)... you can promote but only through a story!

THIS REALLY SHOULD BE FUN!! (I hope)

GUIDELINES:

No story = no promo
If you want to promote your group or anything else, it's got to be wrapped inside of a story.
The offer is related to the story in some way but wouldn't be the headline.
This should genuinely be fun --> tell a story with that usually story arch where you set up the background, lay on the tension or the turning point, then share the breakthrough, and finally let all that goodness be a bridge to your offer
LINK IS ALLOWED at the end of your post
Please no bullet-point sales pages or CTAs with the "buy now" "last chance" "doors closing in two seconds" FOMO triggers.
Don't add it here, make your OWN POST! And Stick it in the category called "🎁 Story Selling Friday!"
IF YOU WANT, you can add a link to your to that post in a comment on this post and even share the BTS to your story (BTBTS behind the behind the scenes! lol)

That's it!

==================

This is a post from my group "Connect & Collab".

I want to be really clear that I love and adore the Classifieds and am glad it exists. I come here to check stuff out and to share it. I expect it to FEEL like the Classifieds (although I'd love to see some "Romeo Looking for Juliet" and vice versa here and there for fun...?! Or some variation of that).

So I've been working to find the balance of allowing some promo BUT not turning my group into the Classifieds.

What I'm doing NOW is that we have a whole bunch of ways that members can promote but there are some limitations too:

some posts are there specifically for advertising your group or offer(s),
you can introduce your group to us,
it's A-OK to share a link when it comes up organically in conversation,
premium/VIP members can promote anytime,
collabs that benefit members of our group are OK to share with permission, etc.
(NOW the Story Selling Friday)

DO YOU ALLOW PROMO IN YOUR GROUP?!

It would be super cool to hear your thoughts on this, because I'm sure I'm not the only one dancing this dance!!!

AND actually if you DO allow promo I'd personally love to know about it to perhaps include your info in a post for our members to know about. We're keeping track of the ways and places that advertising IS allowed here in Skool!! >> https://skool.com/connect/advertising

@Mimi Ramsey

I'm stoked you're in here to give you a shout out for sharing SUCH a good story selling example!!!!

I love ALLLL THE PROMO POSTS in my group, so it feels like the Classifieds

My group allows SOME promo, but there are limitations to keep the vibe

NOPE on all of this, my group is not the space for promo

Something else..
