I'm putting together a MS Excel group here in Skool. Mostly it's for Excel users to discuss tips, tricks and traps, but I also want to offer lessons, templates, and other perks. Rather than making loads of my own Excel videos, I'm using some of the ka-jillions of Excel videos available out there, and giving credit. Is this how it's done in some cases? I'm not making any claims that they're my videos - all the credits are still in there. The only thing I'm creating is the order they're presented, the supporting text, and the curation. Thoughts? I started it because there are only a handful of Excel forums. I only know of one for sure but I assume there are others. Otherwise, the resources available are behind a paywall and it can be hard to get unique, oddball questions answered. Skool seems the perfect platform to fill that need. If you want to check it out, it's at Excel Express. I'd love any feedback on how to improve it. Thanks.
This is happening more and more. @Ted Carr is doing it here in his Bitcoin group. Curation can be as/more valuable as creation. All you need is a passion to start a community and bring other people together — then you can collectively gather/curate the content, figure things out, and succeed together. The whole "guru/expert" thing is overdone and cringe these days. I think these pure passion communities with crowd-sourced content curation will be more interesting.
For high volume groups one of the main features we've used in Facebook groups is the ability for all posts having to be approved by an admin or moderator. Possibly a useful feature to add to control the inflow of posts in groups?
Thanks for the suggestion, @Yasin Arshad! We can totally do that, but we don't want to base any of our product decisions on hypothetical future needs, only real needs. So we'll probably wait till we see a need emerge before we do this.

Sometimes you want your members to take action. For example: Introduce yourself and share a photo of your workspace, or... Play this song on the guitar and share a video of you doing it. Simple actions make your community more interactive and fun. Remember the ice bucket challenge? Action posts — Describe the action you want your members to complete. When somebody comments, the action will be marked as complete. Pinning posts to modules — Now you can pin posts to course modules to make them more practical and interactive. For example: Your first module could be "Welcome! Start here" and give a quick overview of how things work with a call to action at the end to introduce themself and share a photo. You can pin any post to a module, it doesn't have to be an action post. You could pin posts relevant to the module, or a post with the title: "Module XYZ - Questions/discussion here" and use it as a comments section. Your turn: Complete this action by telling us what you think?
@Jared Egge automating community isn't something we agree with. If you don't care enough to show up and copy/paste, then it's probably not worth posting. We don't want Skool to become another social platform where people make "content calendars" and "batch" content for the month. It's not human.

Hey guys, i am very excited about skool and i already run 4 communitys. Can we get a new Roadmap? :-) The last 60dyas Roadmap, was 60 days ago, right? Thank you so much for your work, i love it! lg Calvin No Google translate this time, sorry Greetings from Germany
Now you can explore all the communities on Skool! This has two benefits: 1. Members can find communities that interest them 2. Communities get found by members (free advertising) Open your switcher (cmd + k) and click "Discover communities" to explore. You can search for anything, browse categories, and filter by free/paid, and private/public. We rank communities by an engagement/quality score. The more engaged your community is, the higher you rank. This means the better you make your community, the more members you get. Watch the video below for more info. Enjoy 🎉
@Aby Vohra at the moment it's only 1 category per group, but we'll change it soon because it does look like some groups sit across multiple categories.
@Daniel Wagner that's fair. However, right now everybody is making assumptions. We have baseline data and we'll see how this goes. If it's worse for people, we'll kill the feature. We want to make our creators more successful, not less. Our incentives are aligned.
An existing Skool user reported to me today a bug that I’m able to replicate: He went to my landing page advertising my Skool community: https://www.id.vc/community When you click on the „join“ button that is linked to: https://www.skool.com/infinite-disruptors The websites opens the mobile Skool (iPhone) app and nothing happens when you’re already logged in. You just land on the page you had last loaded in the mobile app. Thus, an existing Skool member who is logged into his mobile app but not yet member of my skool community can’t access my community via a direct link on a website on his phone.
We're thinking of doing a sick Black Friday deal. The craziest Black Friday deal we've ever done. Interested? Give me a sick GIF in the comments below if you want a sick deal.
