Lidia's energy and commitment to her members is boundless.
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. Nothing fake, no "easy buttons", no BS, no smoke and mirrors. Just practical, transparent, real talk and action. Highly recommend!

Community Builders HQ is one of the most valuable communities I have joined on...
Community Builders HQ is one of the most valuable communities I have joined on Skool. Lidia does not simply share generic advice about growing a community. She takes the time to understand what you are building, identify what is not working, and help you find practical solutions. She 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. The 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. For 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.

Lidia Axe's 30 Day Hackathon was the tonic I needed to help me kick start a new online business
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. I love her approach to keeping things simple and she is totally without the BS hype that "2 minute gurus" espouse as the only way to run an online business...very refreshing and the way to build trust.

Scaling Success Thanks to Artin
Working with Artin has been a game changer. He has such sharp insight and played a huge role in helping me scale my Skool community from just 12 members to over a thousand in only a few months. Artin has deep-level knowledge, yet he makes everything simple to understand and immediately actionable. He gives clear, objective metrics to focus on so you always know exactly what to do next. Truly a privilege to have Artin as a resource, highly recommended.
