She keeps things simple, gives direct feedback, and doesn’t hide behind theory or “secret formulas.” There’s a strong build while learning mindset throughout the group, which I think is exactly what most newer community owners need.\n\nAnother thing that stands out is the amount of real proof around the community. Member wins, reviews, and visible results make it easier to trust that this isn’t just another collection of lessons sitting in a classroom.\n\nFor coaches, experts and educators who want to build a Skool community and actually get people into it, this is a very solid place to start.\n\n5 stars from me - practical, generous, and focused on progress over noise ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️","overall_rating":5,"reviewer_name":"Roberto Srpak","time_in_community":"3_6_months","is_verified":true,"would_recommend":null,"helpful_count":0,"created_at":"2026-09-01T08:37:19.621519+00:00","ratings":{"content":null,"engagement":null,"safety":null,"value":null,"leadership":null,"networking":null},"owner_response":null,"video":null},{"id":"acc5c6ef-f2a8-44f0-b55f-2059ed4ea47d","title":"Lidia's energy and commitment to her members is boundless.","content":"Lidia's energy and commitment to her members is boundless. She's just not happy until her people see success too. The thing I love about this community is that it's not just telling you HOW to build, but Lidia's actually modeling what it takes to do it.

She takes the time to understand what you are building, identify what is not working, and help you find practical solutions.\n\nShe recently spent an hour with me diagnosing the problems in my communities. She asked thoughtful questions, challenged my assumptions, and helped me see issues I had been too close to recognize on my own. I left the conversation with greater clarity, a stronger strategy, and a much better understanding of what I needed to change.\n\nThe community itself is filled with useful guidance, honest feedback, and people who genuinely want to help one another succeed. It is an excellent place for anyone who is serious about building, growing, or monetizing an online community.\n\nFor anyone who has joined the free community but has not upgraded to the paid membership, you are missing out on an incredible amount of additional value. The personalized support and deeper insights alone make it worthwhile.","overall_rating":5,"reviewer_name":"Joel Harris","time_in_community":"3_6_months","is_verified":false,"would_recommend":true,"helpful_count":1,"created_at":"2026-07-28T06:56:54.895089+00:00","ratings":{"content":5,"engagement":5,"safety":5,"value":5,"leadership":5,"networking":5},"owner_response":null,"video":null},{"id":"cd7a173f-b316-4b59-9adb-789fede2fea7","title":"Lidia Axe's 30 Day Hackathon was the tonic I needed to help me kick start a new online business","content":"Lidia Axe's 30 Day Hackathon was the tonic I needed to help me kick start a new business. Her step by step approach enabled me to quickly build the solid foundations needed for a successful skool community.

Even so, I got a lot out of it.\n\nLidia's approach is structured without being rigid. The daily build plan keeps you moving rather than overthinking, which is the thing that kills most people's progress before they even start. The custom GPT for niche selection is a genuinely useful tool, not just a gimmick.\n\nThe community itself is active and the quality of members is high. People are actually building, not just lurking.\n\nIf you're sitting on the fence about launching a Skool community, this removes most of the excuses. Recommended.","overall_rating":5,"reviewer_name":"Des Dreckett","time_in_community":"1_3_months","is_verified":false,"would_recommend":true,"helpful_count":0,"created_at":"2026-06-05T11:47:20.145764+00:00","ratings":{"content":null,"engagement":null,"safety":null,"value":null,"leadership":null,"networking":null},"owner_response":null,"video":null},{"id":"6a7a614a-a72d-4483-9884-a8cb3041e8d1","title":"I joined Lidia's group when I first started my Skool group and the challenges...","content":"I joined Lidia's group when I first started my Skool group and the challenges and gamification immediately appealed.

For example there is a community where you can learn how to create a lead magnet community with a course, but they are focusing mostly on getting traffic from youtube and ads and retargeting ads, and their free lead magnet community is mostly for just selling the paid one. So they give something, but that's definitely not enough and its a very different approach that they have. (2 communities actually) Both has more than 30k members, but they are usually community owners and not potential clients. There was a community where they are focusing on warm outreach, sometimes cold too.\nThere is the Grow With Evelyn community where they are focusing on ads, and then there is some community where they are focusing on content creation.\nSo basically in all of the communities they teach the same as Hormozi but with each community focusing more in a specific factor.\nand then here is the hackaton and it grabs all the shit, put it together and make something cool about it, it’s short, simple and easy and actually give value and not just forces you to buy the full course, because it's already a full course. So probably this is the only community you need.","overall_rating":5,"reviewer_name":"Krisztian Nagy","time_in_community":null,"is_verified":false,"would_recommend":null,"helpful_count":1,"created_at":"2026-05-31T14:13:13.684808+00:00","ratings":{"content":null,"engagement":null,"safety":null,"value":null,"leadership":null,"networking":null},"owner_response":{"body":"Thanks, Krisztian!
