I wanted to give everyone a heads-up about an exciting change coming to Bio Builders. Over the next few weeks, Bio Builders will transition to a paid subscription community. This change will allow me to continue adding new training, Creator Spotlights, collaborations, templates, and tools while making the community even more valuable. There's another reason I'm excited about this change. A paid community typically attracts more committed members and converts better than a free community. That's great news for our affiliates, because better conversions mean more opportunities to earn recurring commissions while helping others discover Bio Builders. But if you're already here, don't worry... As one of our OG members, you'll be grandfathered into Bio Builders and can continue enjoying the community at no cost for as long as you'd like. As a token of my appreciation for believing in Bio Builders from the beginning, I'm also giving you a complimentary Pro License for Logo QR Code Generator. 🎁 Your Pro License includes unlimited HD Logo QR Codes and will remain active for as long as you're a member of the Bio Builders community. To activate your complimentary Pro License, simply comment OG below. I'll upgrade your account and send you a DM when it's ready. Thank you for your support, feedback, ideas, and participation. You've helped shape Bio Builders into what it is today, and I truly appreciate you being part of the journey. I have a lot of exciting things planned, and I'm looking forward to building the next chapter together. Thank you for being an OG. ❤️ — Jeff Baer

One of the most underrated Skool growth hacks is choosing VERY carefully what appears in your community email blast. Remember… Skool only lets you send an email to all members once every 72 hours. So whatever image people see first matters. A lot. Most people just upload whatever thumbnail gets generated automatically. That’s a mistake. I’ve used animated GIFs, static images, and video thumbnails… and the truth is: The BEST choice is the one that creates immediate curiosity or communicates value instantly. Sometimes that’s a GIF. But sometimes a single static image showing something IMPORTANT can outperform everything else. Especially if it speaks to your avatar instantly. A strong static image can stop the scroll faster than motion if the message is instantly clear. The key is keeping it simple: ✅ One visual ✅ One message ✅ One CTA Don’t overload the email. Think of the image as the “hook” that earns the click. And if you ALSO have a full video… Try posting the video as the FIRST comment inside the Skool post itself. That keeps the email clean while still giving interested members a deeper walkthrough after they click through. For bonus points… If you use a GIF, make sure it visually ties into the video thumbnail or branding inside the post. That consistency makes the entire experience feel intentional and polished. If you’re only allowed one broadcast every 72 hours, treat it like premium inbox real estate. Curious what everyone here prefers in email blasts… 👇 Which grabs YOUR attention more? 1️⃣ Video thumbnail 2️⃣ Static image 3️⃣ Animated GIF
