🚨 Community Builder News Flash 🚨 Breaking: Members have officially announced they do not need another post that ends with... "Thoughts?" 😅 If you want more conversation, don't just ask for opinions. Give people something specific to respond to. Instead of: ❌ Thoughts? Try: ✅ Which of these have you experienced? ✅ What's one mistake you'd never make again? ✅ What surprised you the most? ✅ Tell me your story. The easier you make it to jump into the conversation, the more likely people are to join in. Conversation isn't an accident. It's designed. If you're a little obsessed with figuring out what actually makes communities thrive, come join us in Skoolology. We spend our days testing ideas, asking questions, and sharing what we discover.

I'm in my 11th year as a podcaster with over 1,000+ episodes. Very few podcasters have this kind of longevity so.... Here are 10 quick podcast growth/monetization tips l wish I knew when I started. ⤵️ 1) Weekly podcast content is GOLD. ⭐️ I haven't missed a week since 2015...and I've got over one million downloads. 9 out of 10 dentists agree that you should brush your teeth every day and release a podcast episode every week.....you cannot argue with SCIENCE! 🧬 2) Expert positioning is the KEY to converting listeners into clients. ➡️ 2/3 of my content is solo episodes and coaching episodes. ➡️ 1/3 (or less) of my content is interviews. This ratio allows me to be seen as THE expert.....not the person that INTERVIEWS experts. 3) Stick to ONE CTA (call to action) on each podcast episode. 📌 If you ask your audience to do twelve things they will do zero things. 4) Stop stressing out about being "everywhere" on social media. 📌 Focus on finding 1-2 platforms that feel E.L.F (easy, lucrative, and fun). Vote all of the other platforms off of the island. 🏝️ 5) You don't HAVE TO do any video content....like at all. 😱 All of the podcast influencers and "experts" will ring the bell of shame.... ....just ignore them and keep cranking out weekly audio episodes. 🔥🎧🔥 6) 🛑 Stop chasing podcast sponsors. 🍄 I can make ONE sale with a mushroom coffee affiliate link and earn 22 cents. 💰 I can make ONE sale with a one on one consulting package and earn $5,000. I've done the math....$5,000 > 22 cents. 7) 🛑 Stop over editing your podcast. If you deliver a TON of value... and deliver it with at least mediocre energy... ...your audience won't care if you say "UM" four times. 👍 8) 🛑 Stop accepting guests from PR companies that address their pitch emails to "Amanda".. ..my name is ADAM! 📌 Most of these guests really suck. ➡️ They won't share your podcast episode..... ➡️ and their gardener will be outside running the weed whacker the entire time while the interview is going on.

One small shift can change the feel of an entire day. The next time your kid says, “I’m bored,” resist the urge to solve the problem. Instead, ask, “What could we create with what’s already around us?” That one question turns boredom into curiosity and invites conversation, creativity, and play instead of reaching for another screen.
