Okay, putting this out loud so I actually do it. 😅 I'm starting Shoot Your Shot Wednesdays. Every Wednesday I'm going into my DMs on Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook, even here on Skool and actually talking to people. New followers, people who've been around forever, fellow marketers. Just saying hi, introducing myself, and asking how I can support them. Not cold pitching. Not selling. Just connection, which is the whole thing I always preach anyway. Time I practiced it. Here's the kind of thing I'm actually sending: "Hey [name]! Thanks for the follow. Always fun when someone in the space lands in my world. I'm Stacey, I run Stacey on Social and The Content Shift Skool community and live in the anti-hustle content corner, mostly trying to talk people out of posting more 😅 Who do you love working with?" That's it. No pitch. Just a real hello and a question that actually invites a reply. I'm going to document how it goes and report back, the good, the awkward, all of it. Because most of us avoid our DMs and I want to show what happens when you actually use them. Anyone want to shoot their shot with me this week? Drop a 🎯 and let's hold each other to it.

A huge congratulations to @Katie Day on reaching a significant business milestone. Celebrating one year in business is a truly remarkable achievement. This occasion is a testament to her dedication and hard work. May this be the first of many successful years to come. What other celebrations do we have in the community?

We are featured in Skool ad on Meta (Facebook)!!!!🎊. The other day I spotted @Melissa Boster Menopause Skool on an ad. I'll keep watching for more! What is your small brag/win for this Friday morning?

We've got a good mix of people in here, coaches, consultants, speakers, service providers. And I know a lot of you are also building your own communities on Skool. So let's share them. Drop your Skool link below. Tell us who it's for in one line. Let's see what everyone's building 🔥.

First, I just want to say thank you. Genuinely. Being part of this community means more than you know, and I don't take it lightly that you're here. Now, a few things happening behind the scenes this week: 🗂️ The Classroom is getting a refresh. I'm organizing things so it's easier to find what you need — and I'm adding some new Templates and Checklists. While you're in there, don't forget that all the Monday Content Idea posts and all the Fast Fix Friday posts are already collected in one spot each. No more digging. 🙌 📣 Know someone who belongs here? We have a 40% affiliate commission when you refer someone who joins, and memberships are just $5/month (which also keeps the spammers out and the quality of conversation high). I would love to hit 100 members by summer, and honestly, with the people already in this room, I think we can do it. If someone comes to mind, send them our way. Thanks for being the kind of community worth growing.
