every Wednesday, i watch Skool news for ya and give you the golden nuggets. if you want to watch it, you can find all recent issues in the Vault. ⚠️ IMPORTANT: first things first, if you use Growth Boost, remove any links from your About Page Description or your community will be discriminated (sigh). any link, not just hyperlinks. thanks to @Matthew Burns for pointing this out to me. goodies from the news: - more security for key actions ✅ - better filtered search for currencies and languages ✅ - locked content for free -trial - in the making, be available soon ✅ - growth boost... still in the working, yet we already pay for it (sigh) 😔 my rant (you can skip): - they are sharing the outliers results - ppl who are making $100k per month what can we learn from them? pretty much nothing!!! - how is it relevant to me, to you, to 95% of ppl? @Mimi Ramsey jump in, if you want to, no pressure. i am also jumping on a call re: Growth Boost with Eva , who turned it off - just to hear her reasoning behind it. more to come. there is no perfect platform. there is no perfect brand or person. "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image" applies to everything and everyone. even to me 😜

🎥 Skool News Update + My Rant About It ...

@Lidia Axe So what are my thoughts? (I rambled this through wispr flow...hence the perfect typing lol) I think we're not seeing the full story, totally. I think it doesn't sit completely right with me. What one thing I find super interesting was in the lead up to the growth boost, there were ads absolutely freaking everywhere, but somehow I don't see those ads now. I'm not seeing anything at all. Also, part of me is also inclined to turn it off, because the way that I work organically, I know that I think 99.9% of people who come into my world come through outside conversations. So why should I pay 30% for that? Plus...I defo don't think in the Skool news they show us the full story; they only focus on the ones winning.... Also, something I find totes interesting, which is a little bit of a different topic I know, is that all of the ads said that the school has 180,000 members. It's now gone down to 168, so that's 12,000 people left within that time frame. tbh, I'm trying not to give it too much of my attention and just focusing on Inside Spaces and those spaces who are running businesses on integrity and all the real stuff. Sorry I missed the call. I'd love to know what you all got from it. Oh yeah, and another thing, my traffic has not really increased. I've not had anything convert from the growth boost. I know that's a bit of a ramble will be back as more spirng to mind... But in nutshell... not best please with the way this whole announcement/chages etc was done..and totes lost some of Skoolness love on the way...wonder what will be next ...

Growth Boost New Feature Update

quick update. i've been contacted by Skool team for feedback on the new feature. here is my reply (IF YOU WANT ME TO PASS ALONG ANY OTHER COMMENTS, LET ME KNOW): i have 3 major concern with the new feature: 1. i think ppl should be free to use it or not. and when they decide not to use it, it seems unfair to downgrade/discriminate them in the Discovery and Search. Also, it seems like paid groups will get better visibility vs free groups - that's also not fair. 2.i invest lot of time building "personal brand" on Skool - posting, commenting, teaching, presenting, networking in other communities. again, it seems unfair to pay Skool 30%, when people join my community because of my direct efforts. so, i believe, ppl joining from my profile or other communities should not be "taxed" at 30%. maybe, the way around it is introducing "owner's referral code". 3.this one is probably the biggest. i don't like to see comments being closed on posts. and in general, the way it was rolled out does not feel good. i choose to believe you are trying to do the good thing, and trying to take care of us. but i believe we should have a say in such major update - it's changing the rules of the whole game. and right now it feels like "take it or f*ck off" (see point 1).

⚠️ Does your community feel like homework even to you?

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Please pay attention that the time for this session has changed! Check the calendar to check your time zone correctly. We are going to open up Day 2 of the Community Clinic with a fun bonus session - How to Make Your Community a Fun AF Place to Be @Mimi Ramsey is joining us to show how to make your community the kind of place members open first, stay longest, and drag their friends into. Fun isn't fluff. It's a retention strategy. It's what separates a community people visit from one they actually enjoy. And you don't need to be a comedian or a content machine to pull it off — you just need to know what makes people light up. Mimi is the founder of The Backroom — Say it. Do it. and the Skool IRL Bali Mayor. She helps people who have something powerful to say actually say it. The human way. 👉 Does your community have a personality — or does it feel a bit flat? Drop your biggest question about making your community more fun below. -- - Full calendar of events here - All sessions & speakers introductions here - Purchase all-access pass for $27 (all recordings & VIP sessions) here
