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.

Woo hoo! I finally reached 100 members 🎉
Woo hoo! I finally reached 100 members 🎉 Big thanks to @Lidia Axe and her 30-Day Skool Hackathon. One thing Lidia really helped me with was getting out of my own head. I tend to overthink a lot when it comes to my community, but she always gave me clear, actionable steps to focus on instead of trying to figure everything out at once. Looking back, I honestly think it was her guidance, feedback and the little tweaks along the way that helped me reach 100+ members today. Thanks again, Lidia 🙏

Traffic, Trust, and the Real Thing
I've been in enough online communities to know the difference between a space that looks collaborative and one that actually is. The Traffic Lounge is the real thing. Eric has been someone I've watched grow his traffic expertise for almost two years, and I mean, actually grow it, in public, on TikToks and lives, doing the work. He's also the person who inspired me to start my podcast, so I can personally vouch that his knowledge goes way beyond one platform. He brings humor and humility, which is exactly the energy this space holds. Traffic can feel like this big intimidating mystery, but in here it's people sharing what's actually working, building real relationships, and growing faster because of it. I've had wins, I'm still learning, and this community makes both of those things feel like exactly the right place to be.

A Refreshingly Real Space for Community Builders
I haven’t been in the Traffic Lounge very long, but I already appreciate what Eric has created here. It’s a great place where Skool community owners can connect, share ideas, and talk about what’s working and even what’s not. I’ve never feel any pressure when I’m here. There are no “experts” talking down to anyone, just people building communities and learning from each other. It's refreshing! It feels more like a networking lounge than a course, and I actually think that’s what makes it so valuable. There’s no pressure to accomplish anything. You can simply jump in, be part of the conversation, and connect with others who are on a similar journey.
