I'm so excited to share that we have two more amazing members sharing their expertise in value-first masterclasses in February! @Melanie Bourbeau of Peace, Purpose, and Profit will be hosting "𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗬𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗰𝗸. (𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗟𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝗿, 𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲)" on February 12th. This is for faith-led women who have done some inner work and are not in a current mental health crisis but still feel stalled between healing and walking in their purpose. And @Traci Poe of Public Speaker's Growth Hub will be hosting "𝗩𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲" on February 24th. During “Video Camera Comfort Starts Here” we’ll uncover the deeper reasons you have anxiety when it comes to hitting record on your camera, being a guest on a podcast, or speaking at a virtual summit, and then we'll give you some steps to do something about that! Check the times on the calendar and then add it to your own calendar so that you don't forget!!! Also please note that I will be hosting a free masterclass on Feb 9th called "𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗳𝘂𝗹" where you will learn how to stand out for all the right reasons! What you put in your classroom represents you & the kind of results you can help your members achieve. Having a high-quality course (different from high production value) is crucial to standing out from everyone else who has communities similar to yours. See you there!

Every week we like to sing the praises of others on Skool who are doing amazing things. This is the place to do it! Please share the community, a description of what makes it awesome, a link, and a mention of the owner. Tag the owner if they are already in the CLASSIFIEDS or send them a DM and let them know you mentioned them here. I promise you will make their day. This is the only place where affiliate links are okay. 😊

Pinterest Skool is absolutely on fire right now – we just added 691 new members in January alone (total over 1,300+ active Skool group owners, creators, pinners, business owners, and traffic-seekers). The energy is electric, the wins are rolling in daily, and the community is growing fast. I am looking for a handful of Featured Experts to share their knowledge weekly and help even more people succeed in their small business. 🔥What I am looking for: - You’re an expert in something valuable to our members (Skool group growth, Social media strategies, AI tools, keyword research, content creation, business growth, mindset, automation, etc.) - You’re willing to post once per week – a short, actionable tip post, checklist, quick tutorial, or useful insight on your topic 🔥What you get as a Featured Expert: - Weekly exposure to 1,300+ active Pinterest Skool members (your post pinned at the top of the feed every week) - Your business listed in our Small Business Hub - You can mention & link your own Skool, offer, course, service, or affiliate product inside your featured post – direct promotion to an engaged audience - Recognition in the community + your name listed in the “Experts” section - The satisfaction of helping others grow while building your own authority and traffic ⭐This is a ground-floor opportunity in a thriving, fast-growing community. If you’re passionate about sharing value and want consistent visibility without extra work outside your weekly post, this is perfect. If interested, reply here with: 1. Your main area of expertise 2. One quick example of a tip you’d share 3. Head over to Pinterest Skool and join for FREE 4. Look for this application POST - Call for Featured Experts Who’s ready to share their knowledge? 👇 (Spots limited – first come, first considered!) 🚀

Listen …. Friend! Most people are treating Classifieds like a networking wall. Quick posts. Fast replies. Then… gone. This space isn’t a feed. It’s public. It’s indexed. And your posts don’t have to disappear in 24 hours like they do on socials. You want more organic traffic to your Skool community and you don’t want to pay Zuck’s 🏧 to do it. This isn’t about: • posting more… you could actually post less • running ads… the rules keep changing • networking harder • becoming a search engine expert Instead, I’m going to show you the post frameworks that make your posts get found. I’m going to tell you the top three things you should stop doing that are actually killing your reach. After tomorrow’s workshop, you will be able to: • post less with evergreen content • post intentionally • make it all easier with the tools I’m sharing I didn’t lead with “SEO” on purpose. Same reason as last time. Labels make people self-select out before they understand what’s actually happening. But let’s be clear now… This is about discoverability outside of the Classifieds. How Google sees your posts. Why some show up weeks later… and most don’t. 📅 Free Online Workshop | Friday, January 30, 2026 | 1 PM CST Make Your CLASSIFIEDS Posts Work Harder for You aka posting once… and letting it compound If you want your effort to last longer than a scroll… this is for you. 👉 Add it to your calendar here Not in the Classifieds yet? Join the free group to access the workshop and see how this actually works in real time. P.S. This is not about gaming anything. It’s about understanding the power of the room you’re already standing in. P.P.S. Yes… I’ll be rating posts again 😏

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Referral Rush for the past month. Every single referral you make strengthens our community and helps us all grow. Even though the rush is over, please continue to refer Skoolers with active groups any chance you get. And if you meet someone in another group who you'd like to get to know more without having to skirt around the topic of what you do or fear getting deleted or banned, invite them over to the CLASSIFIEDS and get to know them in an authentic way! Without further ado, there were three clear winners and no ties! First place (with 14 accepted referrals) and a 72-hour pinned post is @Katya McEwen , the Queen of networking. Second place (with 11 accepted referrals) and a 48-hour pinned post is @Tim Adam , the king of organic traffic. Third place (with 10 accepted referrals) and a 24-hour pinned post is @Des Dreckett the ultimate Skooler (just check out their leaderboards!)
