There is a ton of goodness happening this week both inside and outside of the community. Check out the video below for all the details and check out the calendar for SOME of the details! 😉

@Karin Crawford is doing a free masterclass today for anyone looking to expand their reach through live streaming TV - how cool is that??? Here is what she has to say about the session: Your YouTube channel isn’t the only place your best videos belong. You've already planted the seeds. You have videos that people are already resonating with, videos that have brought you clients, built your credibility, and proven your message works. Now let's discover what they're ready to become. This isn't a sit and listen webinar. By the end of this session, you'll have a clear picture of: 1. What Streaming TV opportunities exist 2. How your videos are positioned for streaming TV 3. Your very own Streaming TV Readiness Score, built live, in the room, with you. 4. You'll walk away with real ideas for improving your existing videos, or building new ones that transition better to streaming TV 5. plus a simple, guided next step if you want to go further. But this is about more than a score. It's about what happens when your best work has a bigger stage. Streaming TV means the right people find you first, instead of you chasing algorithms hoping your next video sticks. It means more freedom, more credibility, and opportunities that come looking for you. Ideal for established youtubers, podcasters, and businesses with strong videos already converting clients. Check out the calendar for the exact time and the link to join!

I'm really excited to be participating in another one of the incredible @Brenda Rigney 's FREE summits! There are so many amazing speakers and topics! In fact, I’ve been looking through everything happening at the Human First. AI Driven. Summit, and I’ve realized something. Three days goes fast. Especially when you’re trying to run a business at the same time. You may fully intend to watch a session at 11:00 and then a client calls, a meeting runs long or somebody in your house suddenly needs something only you can apparently find. Life happens. So if you’ve already registered for the Summit and you’re looking at the speaker lineup thinking, “There’s no way I’m getting through everything I want to see,” there is another option. You can grab the All-Access Speaker Pass for $39 before the Summit begins. That gives you access to every pre-recorded speaker session starting October 5th, plus each live speaker session as soon as it’s uploaded following their talk — so you don’t have to squeeze everything into October 5–7. The price increases to $69 on October 5th, so if you already know you want the pass, grab it before the Summit starts. GET THE $39 ALL-ACCESS SPEAKER PASS One important distinction: the Summit Swag Bag is not included with the All-Access Speaker Pass. That is separate. And if the pass isn’t for you? No problem. You can still register for the Summit and join us free October 5–7. REGISTER FREE Whichever way you join us, get those dates onto your calendar. And make sure you find my session on Using AI to Build Your Online Course - Without Losing What Makes it YOURS. You might be surprised by what I have to say!

Sorry not sorry for the title. I'm closing my Skool Monetization Lab community, and the reason is simple. I give away good content for free, and free members don't act on it the way my paying members do. I'm in my 50s, and I don't have time to waste like the younger "whippersnappers" (I have never written that word before 🤣). For me, time is currency, so I looked at this as return on time. In my paid communities, people have put money in, so they turn up and do the work. In SML, free content gets treated like a free sample. People take it and don't act on it 😏 That gives me a simple rule on pricing: 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰: a low-priced subscription is the better model, because paying filters for people who will act. 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻'𝘁: stay free. A price on an empty room only leaves you with an empty room. My own traffic comes from YouTube, and that's what keeps my paid communities full. Two more reasons. There are now a lot of free communities teaching the same thing, so it's hard to look different from the one next door. And the same hours in my other communities earn more. I use one test. If I'm not hearing at least one "KACHING" a week, the time and resources are being wasted. SML started as a test, and it worked at the beginning. Then Skool changed the rules. I'm not going to sit and cry about it. I've never been afraid to kill what isn't working, so I'm closing the doors. 𝗜'𝗺 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆. 𝗔 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗶𝘃𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿. Here's how to check yours this week: Add up the hours you spent on it last month, including posting, replying and prep. Then count the sales, bookings or paid sign-ups that came from it. Divide the hours by the sales and you have your number. If you can't point to at least one sale a week, ask yourself two questions. Do I bring my own traffic? Would the people in here pay for what I give them? If the answer to the first is no, the pivot may be as small as changing who you're bringing in.
