I asked Chatty G to analyze the posts in this group that have the highest engagement (excluding admin posts) and make recommendations about how people could create better posts. This is what it said: I’ve been spending some time looking at the posts here to figure out why some take off while others barely get seen — and the patterns are pretty clear. If you want your promo post to actually get attention (and not just disappear into the feed), here’s what I’ve noticed consistently works: 💡 1. Lead with something people care about — not just the name of your offer. Instead of starting with “Join my group” or “Here’s my course,” open with a question, a challenge, or a common pain point your audience has. The best-performing posts usually make the reader think “Oh, that’s me.” 🎯 2. Keep the focus tight. Posts that promote one clear thing — a free resource, a single workshop, a focused offer — get far more engagement than those that list everything you do. If you have multiple things to share, make separate posts over time. 📈 3. Show the benefit, not just the feature. Telling people “I run a membership” is less compelling than “I help coaches sign their first 5 clients.” Always connect what you’re offering to the result it creates. 🤝 4. Make it feel like an invitation, not a sales pitch. The posts with the most traction don’t pressure anyone. They share something valuable and then say, “If this sounds helpful, here’s where to go.” A soft invitation builds more trust here than a hard sell. ✨ 5. Demonstrate your value inside the post itself. A short insight, quick tip, or example of your expertise within the post does more to build credibility than any list of credentials. It gives people a reason to believe you before they ever click. None of this requires being pushy or salesy — it’s just about making sure your message is framed in a way that resonates. The more valuable and relevant we make our posts, the more this space will work for all of us. What do you think? Have you noticed the same or different patterns?

I thought more communities meant more reach. What it actually meant was the same people seeing me over and over. Plenty of members belong to a dozen communities. So if you're posting in 40, the overlap isn't small. Those members were getting notified about me several times a day, sometimes the same title sitting in two different feeds. A few of them said something. Politely, but they said it. I'd been counting communities. I should have been counting people. Three things changed after that. I cut the number right down. I post mainly in my own now, plus a couple of others where the audience is actually different. I use Panda to schedule posts across different parts of the day, so anything that does overlap lands hours apart instead of together. And I don't reuse a title across communities. Same idea is fine. Same title just looks like broadcasting. Worth remembering that reach isn't the member count. It's whoever hasn't already seen you somewhere else that morning. If you're working out how YouTube feeds a Skool community, that's what I write about in The Content Revenue Lab: https://tinyurl.com/TheContentRevenueLab Des

YouTube used to be my main traffic source. Now the fastest and most targeted are online events and presentations 🤯 The best channel for a community changes over time, and mine did. I'd have missed the shift if I'd kept doing what had worked before. Here are all ten ways I use, with a closer look at the three behind that change. 1. Film one long video a week and cut everything else from it. 2. Say your community's name in the video, link it in the description and a pinned comment, and make your About page match the video's promise. 3. Leave one useful comment a day in communities where your people already are, with no link in it. 4. Give each video one small resource, and make joining the way to get it. 5. Write The Skool Classifieds posts with a story ahead of the offer. 6. Go to events in person. You get fewer people than online, but they've already spoken to you before they join. 7. Test every network, then double down. Give each one the same weekly effort for four to six weeks, ask every new member where they found you, and divide joins by hours spent. Look at more than the top number, because a video keeps working after you stop and a comment doesn't. 8. Run online events with a date on them. Put the outcome and the time zone in the title, such as "Fix your About page in 30 minutes: live workshop, Thu 7 pm UK", and list it where people from other communities can find it. A date gives people a reason to join today rather than eventually. 9. Present inside other people's communities. Their members already trust the host. Comment usefully and come to their events first, then offer a 30-minute session on one specific problem, and agree with the host beforehand on what you can mention at the end. 10. Write your About page for search. Skool has no keyword box in the dashboard, so I put my main keyword in the first few paragraphs, with related terms alongside it. The PDF goes deep on all ten: how to set each one up, word-for-word scripts, templates and the mistakes I'd avoid. 👇

If you're a woman building a business, imagine with me for a minute... It's December and you're looking back at the last couple months of 2026. Instead of thinking, "I really wish I had..." you get to say, "I'm so glad I finally did that." What is 'that' thing for you? Finally getting your business in front of more of the right people? Doing something with the offer that's been sitting there? Fixing the process that makes you want to pull your hair out? Making the ask you've been avoiding? Making the decision you've been circling for six months? Finding women you can talk to, learn from, collaborate with and lean on while you're building all of this? You don't need 37 new goals before the end of the year. You may just need one really good move. That's why we're bringing women with all kinds of expertise together for Make Your Move: A Bundle for Women in Business, October 12–16. It's a completely FREE virtual event with business resources and LIVE workshops, all happening inside the Oh Yes I Can Women in Business community. You'll be able to explore six different Needle Movers and find the ideas, expertise and support that make sense for where YOU are right now. To grab access to it all, hop on into the OYIC community. That's where everything will be delivered during the event. Come join us. Your "I'm so glad I did that" is waiting for you!
