Welcome to Metrics Monday, that time in the week where we (upon request of the members) pull back the curtains and show you behind the scenes of the Classifieds. Number of Members: 803 (+45) Number of Premium Members: 166 (+9) Percentage of members who are Premium : 20.7% no change About Page Conversion: 28.1 (-1.3%) Churn = 9 in December Discovery Ranking in Money: #31 (-1) Discovery Ranking Overall: #101 (-5) Highest Activity Day: 1264 on Tuesday Lowest Activity Day: 533 on Sunday What it all means: So, most of you know that we rose 16 places in the money category in a matter of about 48 hours due to our Black Friday Free For All. I was expecting a bit of a correction, but what surprised me the most was how long it took for that correction to occur. We were vacillating between #27 and #28 for most of the week, but then a dip in activity made the star flicker last night and then go off this morning when we settled into 31st place. Our activity has always been the lowest on the weekend, which makes sense as many of us choose to prioritize our families at that time. Another interesting number is the percentage of members who are premium, which has remained unchanged. I'm very happy with almost 21% of the members choosing to be premium, so this is a great number. You'll notice a new metric I'm tracking, which is churn. It's only reported for the month, so it's a bit of a weird one to track, but people have been interested in it. I'm not sure how long I will continue to report on it because, personally, I don't look at it. I think it's a normal part of running a community, especially one like this - sometime members leave because they are no longer Skool group owners... Anyway, in the future I'll make more of an effort to put prompts for posts in the community as it seems like this really inspires people to post and encourages great interactions, engagement, and sign ups in your communities. This past week has been a bit of a doozy for me with pink eye (thanks daycare!), laryngitis, and a chest cold/cough - and family visiting!!!

Create a brand new post outlining a myth that people have about your area of expertise or the topic of your group. Use a compelling hook in your title, describe the myth, and then explain why it's a myth. Finish off the post by inviting people to check out your group to learn more. Then, find two other posts to be enlightened by and leave a comment. Don't get too wordy. There's a fine line between too much info and not enough info. Trust me. I go over the line all the time! 😂 TIP: Hashtag prompts are bonus prompts, so if you do this post, you still get your promo post of the day. 😉 I can't wait to see what myths you bust!

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.
