full recording is in the Vault, as all previous news issues for your convenience. let's start with the good, shall we? being on Skool really helps make admin/accounting part easy. Skool folks reminded us, and it's totally true. being a Merchant of Record, they are taking a huge burden off your shoulders. you can research what "MoR" means - here is Stripe's version of it. either way, it helps. and the bigger you grow, the bigger is the benefit. more good things: "free trial locked content" and "freemium plans on sign-up" are coming up. two thumbs up. great features - hopefully, will help facilitate conversions from free to paid. now, the bad 😈 kinda tired of hearing about those who are making it. would be great to learn the full picture - charts, graphs, numbers. or maybe look at someone who is struggling and how they can do better. "Skool of the week" and all other outliers are not gonna help me, you, and the other block to improve. actually, i & some of my friends on Skool are seeing the trend of ppl turning their community PAID because of the Skool news. and the only thing they are gonna get is DISAPPOINTMENT. cause unless you have a massive audience outside Skool, starting a paid community is not gonna work. well, now the ugly 👿 new Skool games. it's gonna be an ongoing MRR competition. that's it. they've introduced new level - ☘️ $3k/mo. good. but overall, they still focus on MRR as the one and only truth in business. okay. got it. and then, you can only get to the "exclusives" club if you get $100k+ MRR. let me ask you - what percentage of community owners are going to get $100k+ MRR? let me answer - very small percentage. probably less than 1%. so, the reality is - forget it. forget about Skool games. work toward your goal, your strategy, and your plan. everything else is just the noise. p.s. no doubt, my next goal is to hit $10k/m. but i do not expect it to be just MRR and/or just from one community. but now, more than ever, the 🚀 emoji is less attractive to me.
