everyone asks me the same thing: "Lidia, how do i get traction without posting 5 times a day?" value commenting. what the hack is it? ...ok fine, i'll explain. but you owe me a pinned comment. why commenting beats posting (especially on Skool)? commenting is easier than posting: - no topic anxiety. the topic is already there. someone else did the hard part. - it can be short. three sentences of substance beats 800 words of "here's my framework." - more eyeballs than your own post. if you comment in a community bigger than yours, you're borrowing their audience. legally. for free. on Skool it works even faster than on other social platforms, because everyone is already here. they're already logged in, already scrolling, already in learning mode. you're not interrupting someone's vacation photos with a business insight. 📌 bonus points if it gets pinned. that's the achievement unlocked moment. when an owner pins your comment, you didn't just add value - you added so much value they wanted more people to see it. more visibility for you, better thread for them, everybody wins. ‼️ i have 45mins masterclass on how to get pinned now, what value commenting is NOT: - a gif , "great post!" / "this 🔥" / "agreed" - tagging three friends and running away - restating the post back to the poster in slightly different words - a comment that's actually just a pitch wearing a trench coat - a wall of text that hijacks the thread and makes it about you what value commenting IS: - it adds value. duh. new angle, missing piece, real data. - it shows your PoV. not just agreement - your actual take. - it shows your credibility. you've done this thing. you have receipts. here's a real one. @Des Dreckett just posted in Skool Monetization Lab that Friday is a great day to publish because members are "pretending to work" and are in buying mode. well done, Des 👏🏻

Checkpoint 10 of 10 — YOU MADE IT. You just completed the Community Crawl, Male Edition. That's no small thing — you showed up, engaged, and explored. That's exactly the spirit this crawl was built for. If you hit all 10 stops — drop your fav GIF in the comments below to claim your access to the swag bag. The swag bag includes freebies, resources, and gifts from the community hosts you just visited. Before you go — tell us what you walked away with. 💬 What surprised you? 💬 What community stuck with you? 💬 What did you learn — about a topic, about yourself, about how someone else runs their space? Drop it in the comments. This is the good stuff. === A note from me (this is my 3rd crawl): Someone asked me "why participate if I'm just going to leave those communities?" Here's what I've learned: - You meet incredible community owners. Not just their content — them. The conversations, the connections, the collaborations that come after the crawl are worth more than any swag bag. - You discover communities you'd never search for. It's like trying a new restaurant. You might not go back every week, but you're always glad you walked in. - And if you run a community yourself — this is a masterclass in disguise. You learn by watching how other people welcome, engage, ask questions, and set up their space. Steal Like an Artist talks about art. Well, communities work the same way. You grow by observing others. The crawl isn't just a weekend activity. It's a door opener. That's the whole point. Men showing up for each other. Communities worth knowing about. See you at the next one. — Lidia

Checkpoint 1 of 10 — You're at the starting line. You've heard of a pub crawl.

Drop your answer below 👇 Then head to the next stop (might need to wait a bit till the host wakes up 😜): ➡️ Checkpoint 2 → Authentic AF by Andy Grant 👉 https://www.skool.com/authenticaf Tagging Hosts of this Crawl: @Andy Grant @Sean Hegarty @Joel Harris @Tanmay More @Maurice Chism @Alex Liquid @Chris Suckling @Andrew Kendall

UPDATE: i've updated the description, and added a visual to make it more clear. still not clear? let me know === so, you know i love a good medical series. in one of Grey's Anatomy episode, i learnt about something called "domino surgery". here's how it works: one donor gives a kidney to a recipient. that recipient's relative donates their kidney to the next person in line. and so on. a chain reaction of giving. ⚠️ but here's the thing — it only works if everyone participates. that's exactly what we're doing today. but with reviews. (i just realized this morning that it's a better name than roulette, hope i did not confuse you): THE PRINCIPLE all reviews must be honest and based on your actual experience with that community (you must be a member). no fake stuff. no "i'll say nice things, if you say nice things." one of the biggest benefits of Proveworth is that every review is verified. that's the whole point. so let's keep it real. 🚨 THE PROCESS 🚨 TO GET REVIEWS: 1️⃣ drop a comment below with your ProveWorth Profile link (if you have not set it up yet, check this post, then come back) 2️⃣ go to YOUR community → leaderboard tab or members → find 2-3 active members who are also in the Hackathon (here). if you already know those ppl, you can skip this step 3️⃣ come back here and tag those 2-3 people under your own comment asking to give you a review. if none of your members are here, just send them a DM with ProveWorth profile link and/or make a post in your community. it's a great opportunity/reminder to do this more often ✌🏻 TO GIVE REVIEWS: 1️⃣ check other comments under this post to find links to ProveWorth Profiles where you are a member. if you do not see any community where you are part of, there are 2 options: - go to ProveWorth Directory, browse communities, find ones you genuinely like (and a member of), and leave a review - you can always leave a review for Hackathon 😜 if you have something good to say and you have not done it yet
