If you’ve recently started your own Skool community and you’ve reached that slightly bewildering stage of… “Right. I’ve got the community. Now what on earth do I put in the classroom?” 😂 Shannon Boyer, who runs The Classifieds, has an event coming up tomorrow that I think could be particularly useful for those of you who are still finding your feet with Skool. It’s called “Now What? Your Skool Class” and she’ll be looking at how to build your classroom with a bit more intention and strategy — not just filling it with courses and hoping somebody eventually wanders in and buys something. The session is about creating a classroom that actually supports your members, helps them get results and fits with how you intend to monetise your community. It’s on Wednesday 7th October at 3pm New York time, and if you’re fairly new to building a Skool community, I’d definitely pop along and have a listen. And if you haven’t discovered The Classifieds yet, it’s worth having a nose around there too. Shannon has created a community specifically around helping Skoolers get their businesses, communities, offers and events seen. 👉 EVENT LINK Sometimes the difficult bit isn’t starting the community. It’s the “Right… what do I do with the bloody thing now?” bit. 😂

I’ve got three things for you today — and yes, I’ve been keeping my little beady eye on what’s going on in here. 👀😂 First… Have you stopped posting because we now have the shiny new website? Please don’t! The website is another way of getting your event seen, but it isn’t going to do all the heavy lifting for you. You still need to keep talking about your event in here, follow the posting sequence in the Getting Started classroom and remember, you can post about the same event up to three times in a week. Use it! Now, confession time… Who’s been posting and ghosting? 👻 You know what I mean. Pop your event into the feed… then disappear. Let’s get into a new habit. Before you post, have a wander through the feed and support a few of the posts already there. A comment. A bit of encouragement. Ask a question. Have a nosey at what someone else is doing. Because this is a community, and the more we support each other’s events, the more visibility we ALL create. And finally… something rather nifty has appeared on the website. 😁 Thanks to a great suggestion from @Taras Mokrytskyi and some clever tech wizardry from Des, you can now open an event and see the date and time in different locations around the world. No more staring at ET, GMT, NZT and wondering what on earth is going on. 😂 And we’re not finished. We’ve already got more ideas brewing — including something new around the Hosted By section. 👀 In the meantime, don’t forget you can also share the URL of your own event page from the web site Show it off! Your event is now sitting on an actual website out there on the WWW, so grab that link and share it with your audience. It would also help us out getting seen more on the www. And if you spot something on the website and think, “Wouldn’t it be good if you could…” Tell us. We genuinely want your ideas. Although if it involves complicated tech, I’ll probably smile sweetly and send you directly to Des. 😂

Our next get-together is: 🇺🇸 New York — Tuesday 13 October at 8pm 🇳🇿 New Zealand — Wednesday 14 October at 1pm Last time we got into the very interesting subject of moving people from Standard to Premium and VIP. This time, I thought I’d hand the conversation over to you. What would you most like us to get our teeth into? ☕ Getting more people to actually SHOW UP to your events Lots of interest is lovely. Bums on seats are better. 📣 How to promote your event without sounding like a broken sales record What can you actually post and say in the run-up to an event? 💰 Turning event attendees into members or clients They came. They loved it. Now what? 🤝 Finding the right people to collaborate with Who could help you reach more people, create something better or open a door you hadn’t thought of? Vote below 👇 Whichever one wins, that’s where we’ll start. And knowing us, goodness knows where the conversation will end up. 😂☕
