I've grown my community to 117+ members (from 12) with solid ad performance, but engagement is inconsistent despite putting out consistent value. What I'm currently doing: - Value-based posts (educational + video content) - Welcome course is live - Ask enraging questions at the end of each post - Building out additional courses - Weekly livestreams just launched - Responding to every comment/question The growth is there, but the participation isn't matching the member count. It feels like I'm talking to a room full of people who are listening but not responding. My question for you all: What specific tactics are working for you to transform lurkers into active participants? Are you: - Using specific post formats that drive replies? - DMing new members with a particular sequence? - Running challenges or accountability threads? - Incentivizing engagement somehow? - Doing something with gamification/levels? I know I need to focus less on content creation and more on conversation creation, but I'd love to hear what's actually working in your communities right now. What's your engagement playbook? Thanks all

I'm guessing there is no way to archive messages from your skool inbox? If that's correct, how do you all stay organized and on top of your leads separating the ones you need to follow up with and the ones who you can move on from? Thanks!

I could use some direction on what my next steps are. I know @Dan Harrison is away for the holidays maybe @Artin Asghari or Alexander VandeLaar could jump in or anyone else that has experience running ads. I have my new free group set up, and I'm ready to take the next steps! I haven't ran ads successfully before. But I'm ready to dive in again. I went through the skool engine modules. And I went through the ads challenge. I understand there's different ways to run ads. There's the IG follow ads, retargeting ads, etc. I'm wondering what type of ad I should be setting up to start driving traffic to my new skool community. Thanks in advance for any direction you can provide!

Hey everyone 🤙 Been building out my funnel for my 1:1 coaching offer and wanted to share the strategy before I go live with ads tomorrow. The flow: Ad → Application Page (VSL + questionnaire) → Discovery Call Page (VSL + calendar) → 15-min Discovery Call → 60-min Blueprint Call (close) Why this structure: - Application first — Filters out tire-kickers early. If they won't take 2 minutes to answer a few questions, they're not serious. Also gives me context before the call so I show up prepared. - Two VSLs, two jobs — Application VSL sells the problem and possibility. Discovery call VSL sells the process and me. Moves them emotionally through the funnel instead of one video doing too much. - 15-min discovery before 60-min blueprint — Low-commitment first call qualifies fit for both of us. Only serious prospects make it to the blueprint call where the close happens. Protects my time and increases close rate. Would love feedback on the application page: https://sheldonmbt.com/mbtapplication Shooting ads and launching campaign by end of day tomorrow. Thank you @Dan Harrison especially for your insta-responses and feedback. Life. Changing. LFG 🚀
