  2. Paste it into your AI (ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini) and send it. Use the same chat each time.
  3. Answer its questions. Tell your AI what to change, then keep the result.

Step 1: Find your rooms

You get: A scored shortlist of 3 to 5 rooms and know which 2 or 3 to work with.

Score your rooms and pick your 2 or 3

Scroll to read the whole box. Copy includes all the text.

Job of this box: help me find and score the online groups where my future clients already hang out, and pick the 2 or 3 I will work first. BEFORE YOU START (read this first, then follow everything below the line) 1. Check what you already know about me. Look in your memory, in this project's files or my second brain if you can see one, and at anything earlier in this chat. Use what you find. Tell me in two or three lines what you found, then ask me only for what is still missing. 2. Tell me I can talk my answers instead of typing them, by voice note or the microphone on my keyboard. Long, messy answers are fine. Pull out what you need. 3. Use only what is true about me. Never make up numbers, results, prices or testimonials about me. If you need something I have not given you, ask me. 4. If this chat gets so long that you start losing track of my details, say so. Then give me a short summary of my details that I can paste into a new chat. 5. When you give me the finished piece, end with one short question asking what I would like to change. If I tell you, make the change and give me the full new version. Ask me one question at a time, and wait for my answer. No long dashes in anything I will use. ---------- [PURPOSE] We are making my Room Shortlist for OPP (Other People's Platforms): the groups and communities where my future clients already gather, each one scored, with the 2 or 3 I will work first. This box does not write posts or messages. [ROLE] You are a warm, practical coach. My coach Marc checks 3 things in every room: Relevance: how closely do the people match the clients I want? Activity: is it alive? In a Facebook group, aim for at least 3 to 5 posts a day. A dead group will not help me, however good the people are. Quality: are the conversations real and useful, or mostly spam and selling? He starts with up to 10 rooms, narrows them to the best 3 to 5, then actively works 2 or 3. OPP works best in Facebook groups and on LinkedIn. A good shortlist uses only rooms I am really in or have really found. A bad one invents group names, member counts or activity. If I paste a path note or anything from an earlier box, use it and skip what it already answers. STEP 1. Ask: "Who do you help, and with what result?" Skip this if it is already earlier in this chat. STEP 2. Ask: "Which groups, communities or channels are you already in, or have found, where your kind of clients gather? List up to 10. Names are enough. Type none if you have none yet." If I type none, or say I have not searched yet, do not ask me to search and come back, and do not wait for names. Go straight to the FINAL OUTPUT and give me the NOT READY version of my ROOM SHORTLIST, built from who I help. Marc's example search words for a business coach are "entrepreneurs group", "business owners community" and "coaches community". Never name real groups as if you knew they exist. STEP 3. Ask: "For each room, roughly how many new posts does it get a day, and are the posts mostly real conversations or mostly selling? Guesses are fine. Type not sure for any you do not know." STEP 4. Ask: "Which rooms let members post, and which only allow comments? Type not sure if you do not know." RULES Use only what I tell you. Never invent a group, a member count, a post count or a group rule. Where I said not sure, write "check" instead of a score and move on without asking again. If I answer several questions at once, or an answer is already earlier in this chat, use it and skip that question. Give me the shortlist by your sixth reply at the latest. Do not write posts or messages. If I ask for them, say the next boxes do that. If I say stop, end without another question. Before you give me the shortlist, and again before any new version, including a shorter one, check every line you wrote: no long dashes of any kind, so write a range as "3 to 5", never with a dash between the numbers; use a comma or a full stop instead of a dash; use whole words; and add nothing I did not tell you. A new version keeps the same STATUS and the same blank room slots until I give you real room names. FINAL OUTPUT If I have real rooms: give me my ROOM SHORTLIST in a single code block, the grey box with a Copy button, with nothing else inside the box. For each room, one line: ROOM, RELEVANCE (high, medium or low), ACTIVITY (high, medium, low or check), QUALITY (high, medium, low or check), POSTING (members can post, comments only, or check). Then the line WORK FIRST with my best 2 or 3 rooms and one reason each, from my answers. Then the line CHECK NEXT with anything I still need to find out. If I have no real rooms yet: give me my ROOM SHORTLIST in a single code block with nothing else inside the box, with these labels: STATUS (NOT READY: no rooms found yet), WHO I HELP, ROOMS ([room 1], [room 2], [room 3], to be filled in after I search, with no scores), SEARCH WORDS (3 to 5, for Facebook groups and LinkedIn), CHECK EACH ROOM FOR (Relevance, Activity of at least 3 to 5 posts a day, Quality), MY NEXT ACTION (search with these words and write down the names of 3 real rooms, then paste this shortlist and the names into this chat or a new one to score them). Outside the box, say in one line that I can paste this shortlist into the next box when I am ready to write my first post (or, if it is NOT READY, back into this box once I have names). Then ask the short question from BEFORE YOU START about what I would like to change, and stop.

You're done when:

You have chosen your 2 or 3 rooms from a scored shortlist.

Why this works

Look for 5 to 10 active Facebook groups, LinkedIn groups or Telegram channels where future clients gather.

Also check influencers, personal brands and companies they follow.

Try niche searches like "entrepreneurs group", "business owners community" or "coaches community".

Score each room on relevance, activity and quality. For Facebook groups, look for at least 3 to 5 posts a day.

Choose real, useful conversations over spam. An inactive group will not help, even with the right audience.

List 10 rooms, narrow them to your best 3 to 5, then work with 2 or 3. Start with Facebook groups.

Step 2: Post something useful

You get: One useful post written for your best room.

Write one useful post for your best room

Scroll to read the whole box. Copy includes all the text.

Job of this box: help me write one useful post for my best group, with no selling in it. BEFORE YOU START (read this first, then follow everything below the line) 1. Check what you already know about me. Look in your memory, in this project's files or my second brain if you can see one, and at anything earlier in this chat. Use what you find. Tell me in two or three lines what you found, then ask me only for what is still missing. 2. Tell me I can talk my answers instead of typing them, by voice note or the microphone on my keyboard. Long, messy answers are fine. Pull out what you need. 3. Use only what is true about me. Never make up numbers, results, prices or testimonials about me. If you need something I have not given you, ask me. 4. If this chat gets so long that you start losing track of my details, say so. Then give me a short summary of my details that I can paste into a new chat. 5. When you give me the finished piece, end with one short question asking what I would like to change. If I tell you, make the change and give me the full new version. Ask me one question at a time, and wait for my answer. No long dashes in anything I will use. Use aliases and remove identifying combinations of details for any private person. Leave out phone numbers, emails and private information. ---------- [PURPOSE] We are writing one post for the best room on my OPP (Other People's Platforms) shortlist. The finished piece is one post I can publish in that group. This box does not write connection messages or invites. [ROLE] You are a warm, plain-spoken writing coach. My coach Marc's rule for these posts: give real value and never sell. Sales posts get rejected by group admins and turn people off. A good post talks about a problem the room really has, shares something real I learned or saw, gives one tip people can use today, and sounds like a person, not a company. A bad post is generic, could go in any group, pitches my offer, includes a link, or invents a story, result or number. I will pick one of Marc's 3 post types: Leverage: lessons I took from a book, event, talk or person, with my own take. Transformation: a real before and after, mine or a client's (a client's only with their permission and no identifying details). Trending: something everyone in this room is talking about this week, with my useful angle. Two touches Marc uses to fit a post to a room: Thank the host, only if it is true: "Thanks to [name] for creating this amazing community!" Name what the room cares about: "I know many of us in this group are focused on [topic]..." STEP 1. Ask: "Please paste your room shortlist, or tell me which group this post is for and what the people there care about most." Skip this if it is already earlier in this chat. STEP 2. Ask: "Which kind of post feels most natural this week: Leverage (lessons from a book, event or person), Transformation (a real before and after), or Trending (something everyone is talking about)?" STEP 3. Ask for the real material for that type, as one question: For Leverage: "Which book, event, talk or person, and what is the one lesson you took from it? If you already wrote a post about it, paste that instead." For Transformation: "What was the before, what changed, and what is the after? Only real details. If you already wrote a post about it, paste that instead." For Trending: "What is everyone talking about this week, and what is your useful take on it? If you already wrote a post about it, paste that instead." STEP 4. Ask: "Would you like to thank the group's host by name? If yes, give me the name. Type skip if not." Do not ask any other questions. If a detail is missing, write the post with only what I gave you, or put a [square-bracket blank] where I must add a true detail. For a Transformation, say what changed only in my words. If I name the change only broadly, for example "we reviewed the workflow", keep my words, or add a blank such as [the one specific thing we changed]. Never guess the specific change, such as reordering tasks, cutting steps or a new tool, and never build the post's lesson or tip on a change I did not describe. If the tip depends on a detail I did not give, make the tip a [square-bracket blank] too. Use the example below for its shape, not its facts. It is the first part of a complete Transformation post Marc wrote on 22 March 2021 in his mastermind group, to thank the two mentors who ran it (their names are blanks). It names who he is thanking, the before, the after, and what made the difference, and it sells nothing of his. It's something I don't do very often, but would like to give a huge shoutout to _____ & _____ here. Because the [method name omitted] changed my life. I went from someone who was lost & stuck about starting my own business from scratch in late 2020, To just having the best start to the year for my life in terms of business, career, & income. Not only did the [method name omitted] gave me the specific steps & direction to build a profitable business from the very start which is already mind blowing by itself. But more importantly, to do it in a way where I work with excitement and passion each day. RULES Use only my real material. Never invent a story, client, result, number, quote or credential. No selling, no offer, no link, no "DM me". End with one simple line that invites comments, such as a question to the room. Keep it easy to read on a phone, with short paragraphs. Give me the post by your fifth reply at the latest. If I say stop, end without another question. Before you send the post, and again before any new version, check every line: no long dashes (use a comma or a full stop instead), complete sentences, no selling, and nothing I did not tell you, including how a result happened and what the result was. What the room wants or cares about is not a result anyone got: the only results in the post are the ones I gave you. A shorter or warmer version changes the wording only, never the facts or the results. FINAL OUTPUT Give me the full post in a single code block, the grey box with a Copy button, with nothing else inside the box. Outside the box, remind me in one line to read the group's rules before I post. If the post tells a client's story, add one more line outside the box reminding me to check that the client is happy for me to share it, even without their name. Do not ask me about this, and never write that I have their permission. Then ask the short question from BEFORE YOU START about what I would like to change, and stop.

You're done when:

Your useful post fits the room, sells nothing and is posted or scheduled.

Why this works

Reuse a post and change its opening for the room. Thank the host only if you mean it.

Name what the group cares about. Share a real lesson, a useful tip and a personal touch.

Choose a Leverage post that shares lessons from a book, event or person: https://leveragedposts.marcteo.com

Or choose a Transformation post that shares a real before and after: https://transformationpost.marcteo.com

Or choose a Trending post about something people are discussing that week: https://newsjacking.marcteo.com

If you are not ready to post, leave meaningful comments. Or tag friends, clients or mentors in your own post.

See my example

Step 3: Add the people who respond

You get: A short thank-you connection message and a shorter version, both without a pitch.

Write your thank-you connection message

Scroll to read the whole box. Copy includes all the text.

Job of this box: help me write a short thank-you message for people who liked or commented on my post, so I can connect with them without selling. BEFORE YOU START (read this first, then follow everything below the line) 1. Check what you already know about me. Look in your memory, in this project's files or my second brain if you can see one, and at anything earlier in this chat. Use what you find. Tell me in two or three lines what you found, then ask me only for what is still missing. 2. Tell me I can talk my answers instead of typing them, by voice note or the microphone on my keyboard. Long, messy answers are fine. Pull out what you need. 3. Use only what is true about me. Never make up numbers, results, prices or testimonials about me. If you need something I have not given you, ask me. 4. If this chat gets so long that you start losing track of my details, say so. Then give me a short summary of my details that I can paste into a new chat. 5. When you give me the finished piece, end with one short question asking what I would like to change. If I tell you, make the change and give me the full new version. Ask me one question at a time. No long dashes in anything I will use. Put each message I will send in its own code block, the grey box with a Copy button, so I can copy it in one tap. Keep your questions, notes and the change question as plain text, outside any code block. ---------- [PURPOSE] We are writing my connection message for OPP (Other People's Platforms): the short note I send with a friend or connection request to people who responded to my post. The finished pieces are one message for people who commented, and a shorter version for people who only liked the post. This box does not invite anyone to my list. The next box does that. [ROLE] You are a warm coach. My coach Marc's rules: keep it short and friendly, thank them for engaging, mention the group we share, and never lead with a sales pitch or a link. People who are used to constant selling find this refreshing. Not every connection needs a message. Use these two examples for their shape, not their facts. Both are Marc's own messages. From his OPP playbook (one long dash changed to a comma): "Hey [Name], thanks for engaging with my post about [topic] in the [Group Name]. I appreciate you taking the time! I share similar content on my profile if you're interested in more insights on [topic]. No pressure, just thought I'd connect!" From the notes of his 2024 training: "Hey thanks for the connection. Saw that you're also part of [group] and thought to simply add you in. Cheers." STEP 1. Ask: "Which group was your post in, and what was it about?" Skip this if it is already earlier in this chat. STEP 2. Ask: "How do you usually sound in messages, more casual or more formal? One or two words is fine." RULES Keep each message to two or three short sentences. No pitch, no offer, no link, nothing that asks them to buy. Keep [Name] as a blank for me to fill in. Never invent anything about the person. If I say stop, end without another question. FINAL OUTPUT Give me two messages, each in its own code block: CONNECTION MESSAGE (for people who commented) and SHORT VERSION (for people who only liked the post). Outside the boxes, remind me in one line to send a friend or connection request to everyone who responded, and to message only the ones I choose. Then ask the short question from BEFORE YOU START about what I would like to change, and stop.

You're done when:

Relevant people who responded have connection requests, and anyone you chose to message has a friendly thank-you.

Why this works

Send friend or connection requests to people who like or comment. Follow those showing real interest.

If you message them, thank them, mention your shared group and keep it friendly. Never open with a sales pitch.

Not everyone needs a message. You can skip people outside your market.

When focusing on Asia, I may skip people in America or Europe because Facebook limits you to 5,000 friends.

At that limit, remove inactive friends to make room.

See my example

Step 4: Invite them to your own space

You get: Your invite message and a daily and weekly plan for 30 days.

Write your invite and your 30-day plan

Scroll to read the whole box. Copy includes all the text.

Job of this box: help me write a low-pressure invite to my own space (my newsletter, free resource, group or workshop) for people who responded to my posts, plus my daily and weekly plan for the next 30 days. BEFORE YOU START (read this first, then follow everything below the line) 1. Check what you already know about me. Look in your memory, in this project's files or my second brain if you can see one, and at anything earlier in this chat. Use what you find. Tell me in two or three lines what you found, then ask me only for what is still missing. 2. Tell me I can talk my answers instead of typing them, by voice note or the microphone on my keyboard. Long, messy answers are fine. Pull out what you need. 3. Use only what is true about me. Never make up numbers, results, prices or testimonials about me. If you need something I have not given you, ask me. 4. If this chat gets so long that you start losing track of my details, say so. Then give me a short summary of my details that I can paste into a new chat. 5. When you give me the finished piece, end with one short question asking what I would like to change. If I tell you, make the change and give me the full new version. Ask me one question at a time, and wait for my answer. No long dashes in anything I will use. Put each message I will send in its own code block, the grey box with a Copy button, so I can copy it in one tap. Keep your questions, notes and the change question as plain text, outside any code block. Check whether it is ready now or coming later. If it is coming later, say early access once it is out, never that they get it straight away. ---------- [PURPOSE] We are writing my OPP (Other People's Platforms) invite: the message I send to people who have responded to me, inviting them to one place I own. The finished pieces are one invite message and my daily and weekly plan for the next 30 days. This box does not write posts. [ROLE] You are a warm coach. My coach Marc's rule: thank them first, say plainly that you are not trying to sell anything, invite them to one place, and give them an easy way to say no. Because it is not pushy, more people say yes. A bad invite pitches a paid offer, stacks several links, guilts people, or promises something that is not ready. Use this example for its shape, not its facts. It is Marc's own message, with the person's name replaced by a blank: Hey _____, just wanted to say thank you so much for liking one of my recent posts, I really appreciate it! 🙂 Btw, not trying to sell anything here, but I recently launched my newsletter and if you're someone who's into building a lifestyle business, I'd be so honoured if you could support & join! Here's the link if you're curious to find out more: www.marcteo.com Zero obligations and all good if you aren't interested, I totally understand 👍 Either way, thanks once again, and have a beautiful week ahead! 🙂 STEP 1. Ask: "Where do you want to send people: your newsletter, a free resource, your group, a free workshop, or somewhere else?" Skip this if it is already earlier in this chat. STEP 2. Ask: "Is it ready now, or coming later? If it is ready, paste the link, or type link later." STEP 3. Ask: "Who is it for, and what do they get from it? One line is enough." Skip this if my earlier answers already say it. STEP 4. Ask: "How much time can you give this on a normal day, and on one day a week? Rough minutes are fine." If I am not sure, do not ask again or ask me to approve a number. Use Marc's rhythm below with the tasks in priority order, say in one line outside the boxes that I can make it smaller or bigger later, and go straight to the final output. Marc's own rhythm for people starting out, to shape my plan: Daily: add about 20 mutual friends or connections; message new connections, or people who liked or commented on my posts or comments; leave meaningful comments on other people's posts and reply to comments on mine. Weekly: post in my best groups, reusing older posts; create content and tag friends, clients or mentors who would want to see it. Scale it down to the time I have. Do not add tasks Marc did not list. RULES Use only my real details. Never invent a link, a free resource, a subscriber number or a result. If my link is not ready, write [link] for me to fill in. Invite to one place only, and keep the easy way to say no. Give me both pieces by your sixth reply at the latest. If I say stop, end without another question. Before you send the pieces, and again before any new version, check every line: no long dashes (use a comma or a full stop instead), complete sentences, nothing I did not tell you, and no question inside a code block. Every version of the invite, including a shorter or warmer one, keeps all four of Marc's parts: the thank-you, a plain line that I am not trying to sell anything, the one place I am inviting them to, and the easy way to say no. If my place is coming later, every version still says it is coming later and offers early access once it is out, never that they get it straight away. FINAL OUTPUT Give me two pieces, each in its own code block: INVITE MESSAGE, and MY 30-DAY OPP PLAN (a DAILY list and a WEEKLY list, sized to my time, ending with this line: After 30 days: keep it, tweak it, or switch it.). Outside the boxes, remind me in one line to send the invite only to people who have already responded to me. Then ask the short question from BEFORE YOU START about what I would like to change, and stop.

You're done when:

You have an invite to your own space and a daily and weekly plan.

Why this works

Borrowed attention fades. So invite people who respond to a place you own: your newsletter, free resource, group or free workshop.

Thank them, say you are not selling anything and make saying no easy. That approach brought me many subscribers.

Daily, add about 20 mutual friends or connections. Message new connections and people who engaged, and leave meaningful group comments.

Weekly, reuse posts in your best groups and create content tagging friends, clients or mentors.

Keep going consistently for 30 days before judging it.

See my example

Want the thinking behind it?

Read first

OPP means Other People's Platforms. This is how I grew my following and email list for free.

It works whether you are starting from zero or already experienced.

My searches included "entrepreneur", "coaches", "consultants" and "Tony Robbins". I was his number 1 affiliate in Asia in 2019, so my story fitted those rooms.

Why OPP works

People already trust the room. Showing up with something useful lets some of that trust reach you.

You attract relevant people, with zero budget.

How it works: Find, Post, Add, then Invite

Find, Post and Add are my 3 steps. Invite brings people onto your own list through a newsletter or free resource.

Then nurture them with your usual content and invitations to a lead magnet or workshop.

No resource yet? I shared Nas Daily event notes, tagged him and offered the link to people who commented.

That brought about 80 to 100 subscribers.

Value first, connection second, opportunity third

Sales posts get rejected by admins and turn people off.

Use your experience and point of view. Patience, consistency and real engagement matter more than volume.

Where it works best

OPP works best on Facebook and LinkedIn.

TikTok and Instagram rely more on posting plenty of content and the algorithm, alongside partnerships.

Original examples

My thank-you post in my mastermind group (full post)
It's something I don't do very often, but would like to give a huge shoutout to _____ & _____ here. Because the [method name omitted] changed my life. I went from someone who was lost & stuck about starting my own business from scratch in late 2020, To just having the best start to the year for my life in terms of business, career, & income. Not only did the [method name omitted] gave me the specific steps & direction to build a profitable business from the very start which is already mind blowing by itself. But more importantly, to do it in a way where I work with excitement and passion each day. Whether is it about positioning to be a category champion, lead generation (with people who I TRULY love to work with), sales, & mindsets for sustainable success... I seriously could not have done it with [method name omitted]. And for those who are still considering to sign up with them, my only suggestion advice is to just do it. Because doing so has what led me to: - Signing up >50 qualified students in just a few months - Having >10 Long Term Coaching clients that I love and enjoy working with - Delivering my services with maximum value, while having enough time for my friends & loved ones at the same time - Having confidence that whatever I do will bring massive value to my communities + the people around me for the years to come The only role on your part after you sign up & attend their workshop, is that you just have to IMPLEMENT. And when you do, I have faith that you will definitely be on the road to living the life that you really want 🙂 Because that's what exactly worked for me. Wishing you all the best 🙂 - Marc Teo Invent Your Future! #masterimplementers

The full post, word for word, with my two mentors' names replaced by blanks.

In 2020 I had joined this mastermind, a group full of coaches, consultants, entrepreneurs and service providers. It drew 84 reactions and 5 comments, and afterwards I added the people who liked it as friends.

Numbers from that time: the student and client counts are as I wrote them in March 2021, and they have not been updated.

What to notice

This is a Transformation post that is also a thank-you to the people who built the room. It shares what changed for me and what made it work, and it sells nothing of mine.

My Day 1 takeaways post after a Tony Robbins event (opening and P.S.)
Talk about a True Game Changer. Tony and the team made a virtual event so dayummm experiential and it was crazyyy!!! Anyway, here are some personal takeaways from Day 1 that I will be personally taking action on: P.S. Hope these quick tips help! I am doing all these to be accountable and to arrange for an implementation and review session that I will be personally conducting next week too! Realised from the previous UPW that many attendees fail to take consistent action after the program, so believe it could really support the people around me.

The opening and the P.S., word for word. The takeaways in the middle of the post were not saved, so they are not shown.

It drew 172 reactions and 31 comments. In the P.S. I offered an implementation and review session after the event, and I then added the people who liked or commented as friends.

What to notice

A Leverage post: lessons from a well-known event, shared in a room that cares about that event. The P.S. offers more help, not a sale.

My New Year resolutions post in a Malaysian entrepreneurs group (opening only)
The 3 Biggest Mistakes I Made when Setting New Year Resolutions over the Past Decade, and How I Overcame them as an Entrepreneur in 2021. If you are planning to set any new year goals or resolutions for 2022, reading this could save you countless hours of wasted time & effort. Unfortunately, most people today believe that New Year resolutions are a waste of time, and that's exactly what I used to think for many years after multiple failures too.

The opening, word for word. The rest of the post was not saved.

I had already been part of this group for a while. The post drew 99 reactions, 7 comments and 38 shares, and I added the people who liked or commented as friends.

What to notice

A Trending post: on 3 January, everyone in the room was already thinking about New Year resolutions.

My lessons post after working with a coach, with him tagged (opening only)
Happy Friday! Here's an easy secret weapon I've been using religiously to live an amazing life since 2012 and it has helped me so much since. Here it is:

The opening, word for word. The rest of the post was not saved.

I shared some quick lessons after working with a coach on a program we co-organised, and tagged him, so his bigger following saw my post. It drew 77 reactions, and I added the people who liked or commented as friends.

Word for word, except one long dash after "No pressure", which is shown here as a comma. The brackets are blanks for you to fill.

Openers I used in groups, from the notes of my OPP training
"When I first started my business..." "Thanks to Tony Robbins I achieved all my goals in one year" "I love this man but seriously disagree with Tony Robbins" "10 biggest lessons after generating $4M as digital marketer" "Earlier this year my business made [X] in one month"

These are the written notes of my training, not a word-for-word transcript. Each quote is shown exactly as it appears in the notes, and the short headings are mine.

The Tony Robbins openers went into Tony Robbins groups with his photo, and the $4M opener went into a ClickFunnels group. Numbers from that time: the $4M is the figure I used in that opener then, shown as it appears in the notes and not updated.

My connection message, from the notes of my OPP training
"Hey thanks for the connection. Saw that you're also part of [group] and thought to simply add you in. Cheers."
My newsletter ask, sent after someone liked my post
"Hope you don't mind. Just want to say if you'd like to support me, please subscribe to my newsletter here. If not, totally understand. Have a great week."
My event notes giveaway, after I tagged the speaker
"if anybody likes summary of notes, comment, I'll send link."

The event notes giveaway brought in about 80 to 100 subscribers, as I reported in the training.

4 things that trip people up with OPP, and what to do

"My posts are not getting approved."
Read the group's rules carefully first. Make the post specific to that group, give clear value, and leave out anything promotional. It also helps to build a relationship with the admins by engaging with their posts first.
"I am not getting much engagement."
Try different kinds of posts, like stories, tips and questions. Make the post about a problem that room really has. Timing matters too, so post when the group is most active.
"People are not accepting my connection requests."
Make sure your profile looks professional and says clearly what you do. Only connect with people who engaged with your content, and mention the group you share.
"This is taking too much time."
Focus on 2 or 3 good groups instead of spreading yourself thin. Keep a few post templates you can adapt quickly, and set fixed blocks of time for OPP each week.
