September is going to be incredibly awesome - just putting it out there in the universe right now for all of us. This morning while drinking my coffee I was watching Evelyn Weis talk about her strategy, and saw a training she has coming up for Monday (with Calvin Hollywood who is going to talk about trial conversions - his is consistently 75% - mine over in the experiment group - like 1.3%) And then I tuned into the Skool News for the week - the ending was hilarious and uplifting at the same time. I love that Sam and Andrew are so unpolished. It is actually really encouraging to me. These are my takeaways - 1. Make sure your community is setup using the best practices for your cover images and about page images matter. They must be scannable on a small device - these are the images used for ads. And your classroom images can be used in ads too so some thought about scanabilty needs consideration too. 2. If you want to take advantage of the Growth boost you really need to have a paid community and it needs to be laser targeted. 3. You need to be driving traffic to your community too. 4. Make sure you have all of your social links in your profile added. 5. Make sure you have your Skool community linked to your socials on the socials. That said - Lots of people have different reasons for creating skool communities - some might not want to use the growth boost feature at all and that's okay too. 🐚🪸🐮🐧💜🐧🐮🪸🐚 Okay now let's talk about call to action over on Substack as I promised yesterday. Today I want to give you a few very practical ways to promote what you're doing on Substack without turning your content into ads. 1. Build your CTA into the post Every post should have a purpose.

@Jill Hart I saw a notiifcation on my phone about a get-together where a chap talked about creating one's future. Now I can't find it! Please help?

Here's a question, @Jill Hart: Please explain the difference between your publication URL and profile URL

Apparently, today's emojis are going to be way more random than usual 😂🫣😏 Let's jump right in... We all know Substack is a place to get people to subscribe - but subscriber fatigue is real especially in this day and age of crazy rising prices for everything. And I'm not here to gaslight you about what you are personally experiencing or tell you just image a different reality. I maybe woo - but I'm not crazy.🤪 So, the question then becomes how can we leverage Substack to create an income beyond asking people to pay us every month? The best thing to do before everything else is of course - setup your foundations... That means, oh yeah - know who you're helping and what, specifically, you want to help them with. You have to know where they are experiencing a problem in their life that you can solve. And not just that, but that problem MUST be painful enough that they need to solve, that the problem will cause them to pay you for that solution. The more pain or urgency, the quicker you can get them relief, the least amount of friction between the exchange of money and results - the more you can charge. The good news is - I've created the 9 Day Substack Momentum Challenge for you - #Welcome to the 9-Day Substack Momentum Challenge! It is open to everyone in the community. It will take you through all the parts from idea to publication on Substack so you can start building momentum. Once you have that sorted out everything else is MUCH easier to put together - To build a Substack publication you need to know what the client journey is you are taking your readers on. And no, this doesn't have to end in an exchange of money for problem solving - if you're writing to share information great it's totally fine to have a hobby - but if you are writing/creating content to lead to sales you must have a cohesive client journey. And of course, for the love of all that is holy (like cows 🐮) turn on your payment option - let people give you money if they want to. By all means get your Substack setup properly but if people want to send you money you should always let them.
