2025 feels like a pivotal year in a pivotal decade. The rate of change seems to have accelerated and sometimes it feels like the ground is shifting beneath my feet. I’ve been aware of the increased rate of change for some time now. I’m dating myself here, but I remember when a co-worker first demonstrated a facsimile (fax) machine to me. It was a big, clunky piece of machinery that took up half a desktop. It was loud and so slow it took close to 5 minutes for an entire 1 page message to materialize. My co-worker beamed with pride and declared that the facsimile machine would someday replace the postal service. He said, “no need to mail a letter when you could just send a quick fax”. Less than a decade later, I bought a considerably smaller and faster fax machine for my second business venture. That crazy expensive (over $1,000) fax machine began gathering dust just 9 years later when I bought my first computer. Once I became computer literate, I fell in love with email and blogs. Partying on the Early Internet The early internet was such fun! I spent hours each night surfing from blog to blog, site to site. Sometimes I followed so many links, I couldn’t remember where I started. It wasn’t usual for my surfing sessions to end well after midnight. My husband complained half-joking that he’d become an internet widower. Within a few years, I moved from consuming blogs to writing a blog. I discovered RapidWeaver and learned the tech to start and maintain my own stand-alone sites. I learned a lot from the community that coalesced around RapidWeaver. They were a lot of early coders who used RapidWeaver as a shortcut for growing their web design businesses. Then I fell into Tumbler. It was such a blast! Tumbler had a fun and engaged community on the backend. Nights and weekends were devoted to partying online with the Tumbler community. The party ended in the early 20-Teens when I migrated over to WordPress. I was attracted by the advanced blog functionality and versatility of the platform. However, that versatility came with a hefty price.

For everyone who has wanted to start a group but have been put off by the price - Skool now is offering a $9/month Hobby price group. I had moved away from starting a community for my consulting clients (mostly because of the management side), but now am considering it again. How about yall? Anyone considering starting a “hobby” community?

Hi beautiful comunity! My name is Cristina and I'm a very passionate psychotherapist from Italy, so so tired to sell my time 1:1! I dont know where to start building... any suggestion would be so appreciate it! I want of course create passive income products, increase my email list, find my champagne clients (kind of struggling on this one) and get clear on my funnel.... I'm a bit overwelmed and afraid to loose energy without a road map,,,,

I'm wondering here if it's worth it to keep going. I'd be spending a week or two on email sequences for a launch to a fairly small following where am doing low ticket offers at $9-55. (My high ticket courses are built but they're not set up as offers yet). Though I have a mid tier offer that's maybe $200. (Contract Upgrade for Artists) I'm trying to generate revenue here in the short term to build out the product suits and cover expenses. I suppose getting some PR hits or putting some ads out there could help. My social Numbers: 1611 people on Linkedin who are connections. 1481 instagram followers. 140 email contacts on a cold list (5 years ago was my last send!) 2400 pinterest followers 22 Youtube Subscribers AI Says: Here's the brutal math: - Even with 10% engagement across all platforms = ~540 people see your content - Even with 2% conversion = ~11 sales - At your low price point, that's maybe $200-400 revenue for a week+ of work

Hello!! I am new to the community and wanted to introduce myself. I am a plant-based physician and health coach. I love educating my community and creating new content to "engage, educate and empower" them to lead their best lives. I appreciate the opportunity to learn with and from all of you.

First, I’d love to ask: how much time do you spend each month creating content? I mean not just recording but also scripting, planning, editing... Hi! I’m Laura, a Content Manager focused on organic content strategy that brings the right people in and gets them to act I used to optimize everything after the click, after the ad, now I build what makes it happen in the first place I'm new here and I’m always up for sharing ideas, collaborating, or just having honest convos about what’s really working out there. Looking forward to learning from you all! 🙌

Ciao everybody from Italy! So so new to all this content and I'm a bit overwelmed but really want to do the work (although I'm not clear where to start from... ) 🤩

Hi everyone! I have an idea for a course I want to make. I have extensive knowledge in the industry and am excited to start posting on social media about it. My question is: is it better to create a course first and have the course inform what I post/market online, or should I just start posting valuable content related to my niche while I'm creating my course?

I’ve been exploring ways to speed up the content creation process for my digital products, and I’ve found that using AI writing tools can really help. It’s not about replacing creativity but rather automating the tedious parts, like drafting content and organizing ideas, so I can focus more on the strategy. Anyone here use AI or tools to assist with your writing? I’d love to hear about your experiences or any tools you recommend for creators like us. Looking forward to learning from you all! 😊 #CreatorLife #DigitalProducts #AIWriting #ContentCreation

I feel like this is mostly spamming now, just people coming in to sell not share…just me?

What digital product should I sell I have ADHD planners to sell how do I sell them with no subscribers

How does the million dollar bundle work why is there no templates

They'd have fairly different audiences. One would be for emerging commercial artists. The other would be for people who would like to upgrade their drawing skills. I walk them though how to navigate uninstructed figure drawing sessions. As it's a great way to improve and fun too as you get into a flow state just like at the gym. (Each product has multiple tiers, a video walk through being more than the e-book. And an audio book being a mid tier version. Coaching then as higher ticket. but only about $120~ per hour.) I've actually built 3-4 courses when I taught for 7 years which could turn into a bigger higher ticket group coaching offer. But that seems more daunting to put together. My main question,

Just took the course "Champagne Clients" and it rocked my world ! Mariah has such a brilliant "think outside the box" approach Best "Guru" out there hands down

I'm a virtual assistant for content creators, influencers, small businesses, digital entrepreneurs. I help with daily tasks like posting on Instagram, tiktok replying to DMs, writing captions, and more. If you're feeling overwhelmed or just need a hand with the little things, I'd love to connect and support you💗

I've been having trouble growing my business, and the contracts I've been getting are really small and weren't clocking well. I merely do reviews and ratings on Google, and this month I was able to close over $20,000 in contracts. I'm thrilled about this.

I don’t think we started our businesses to become content machines. Most of us probably just wanted freedom, whatever your version of freedom is (time, travel, family, nomadism) And somewhere along the way, we found that launching works, it brings attention, it brings money, but relying on it constantly… it could kind of becomes its own trap, doesn’t it? The goal wasn't to trade one hamster wheel for a slightly fancier hamster wheel, it’s wild how easy it is to slip into this routine at planning, scripting, recording, designing, posting just to stay present and sometimes it works but sometimes it just eats up our time and it is really frustrating Content doesn’t have to be a treadmill, it can be more intentional, and can actually help build stability, but that’s not always how we treat it Just sharing a thought I’ve been sitting with and I’d genuinely love to hear how others are approaching this What’s working for you? What’s not?

https://benweeks.ca/drawing_upgrade Any comments so far? Here's how I approached it. I spoke my book over about an hour, then had Descript create a transcript of it. Then I sent the transcript to Claude and ChatGPT to organize. After the sales page was done, (I wrote most of it, though 20% is ai edits) I would send ai the pdf of my ebook and ask "does this book deliver on the promises in the sales page?" That was helpful. AI was also good at suggesting bonus downloads derived from my content. I was working flat out still for about 2-4 weeks here, creating the video, ebook and audio book. For those, a big barrier was not wanting to buy a good quality mic. But I found I could rent a high quality Sure SM7B and Universal Audio Interface at our local music store for $50 a week. And I used that to record the videos and audio book. It is used on all the high end podcasts because it is very good at NOT picking up background noise, while getting a very clear studio sound. Though I'm an artist, I saw tests where great image and bad sound were compared to great sound and bad image. The sound is more important because that's how you hear the speaker. You perceive them to be close, good sounding and interesting and it's ok if the image is not as good.

Hello, I'm new here, I feel excited to join the group 😄 😃

I'm not new to the party... I've joined some time ago, but just been standing on the wall... But I've decided to dance after learning of Skool's new offering. With this decision, I thought why not come visit here and just finished listening to Mariah's "Big Reveal" Podcast episode and I love the way she explained how she decided to use Skool. Looking forward to engaging in this space!

Is Leadpages necessary if you already use Squarespace?

I was wondering if anyone was successfully using the Evergreen Everyday method to sell a (low-ish ticket) membership as the "premium offer". Obviously the price is not premium but my current goal is to create more predictable recurring revenue and free live webinars are not converting very well at the moment. I do plan to add a higher ticket course as my premium offer over time but my short term priority is membership sales. Has anyone successfully done this? I'd also love to hear any examples of people using these funnels in the B2C space (specifically health). Thanks @Mariah Coz @Team Mariah
