This week’s news is BIG for community owners! Skool is making Growth Boost more transparent, so you can see what’s happening behind the scenes and what you need to do to unlock more growth opportunities. 🚀 𝟭. 𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗬, 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗩𝗜𝗦𝗜𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗢 𝗚𝗥𝗢𝗪𝗧𝗛 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗦𝗧! A new Growth tab is being introduced to show your current level, the benefits available, the requirements for the next level, and the ads running for your community. Here’s how the four levels are designed: 🔹 Level 1: Your cover image appears in the Discovery carousel. 🔹 Level 2: 10 custom ads promoting your community. 🔹 Level 3: 30 custom ads and a dedicated campaign, with up to $1,000/day in ad spend. 🔹 Level 4: Partnership ads, your own video ads and the potential for up to $10,000/day in dedicated ad spend. These are potential ad-spend limits, not guaranteed budgets. Actual promotion still depends on performance. 📈 𝟮. 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗗𝗢𝗘𝗦 𝗜𝗧 𝗧𝗔𝗞𝗘 𝗧𝗢 𝗟𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗟 𝗨𝗣? According to this week’s episode, the requirements are based on activity over the previous 30 days: • Level 2: 100 About Page visitors and 1 new customer. • Level 3: 3,000 About Page visitors, your Skool link in your social bios, consistent organic promotion and 10 Skool Network signups. • Level 4: 10,000 About Page visitors, your Skool link in your social bios, consistent organic promotion and 30 Skool Network signups. The higher levels unlock more advertising options, but performance still matters. 🎨 𝟯. 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗣𝗔𝗖𝗞𝗔𝗚𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗦! Skool generates custom ads using information from your cover image, About Page and pricing. That means your branding, messaging and offer help shape how your community is presented to potential members. The system can also refresh your ads when you make significant changes to your cover image, price or About Page. ⭐ 𝟰. 𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪𝗦 𝗚𝗘𝗧 𝗔 𝗦𝗠𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗕𝗨𝗧 𝗨𝗦𝗘𝗙𝗨𝗟 𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘 Reviews will now sort by Top by default on About Pages, helping stronger reviews appear first. Visitors can still choose to sort by most recent. A good reminder to encourage genuine feedback from happy members!

I've been thinking about community for a long time. Not just how to grow one, but why some communities become places people genuinely don't want to leave. Why do people open up in some communities but stay quiet in others? Why do some members become friends? Why do some communities feel like a group of strangers... while others somehow feel like "these are my people"? Those questions eventually turned into a 40-page book. The Science of Belonging™ Why People Join Communities and why they stay. This isn't another book about algorithms, growth hacks or how to get more members. It's about the human side of community building — friendship, safety, trust, connection and feeling valued. And honestly, I'm really proud of this one. ❤️ I've put a LOT of work into it, and I'm excited to finally share it with you. 📖 The Science of Belonging™ is now available in the Nexus Classroom. It's a paid resource, because this isn't something I threw together as a quick freebie. It's a book I've poured a lot of thought, experience and time into creating. If you're serious about building a community where people don't just join, but actually belong I think you'll enjoy this. 👉 You'll find it in the Classroom. Oh, and before I forget… 👀 You might notice the Classroom looks a little different. I've been quietly giving Nexus a bit of a makeover while I've been working on everything behind the scenes. Nothing complicated I just wanted it to feel cleaner, easier to navigate and more useful as Nexus keeps growing. So have a look around when you go in to find the book.

Last week I had the opportunity to speak at the Skool Summit about something I've become pretty passionate about: The Organic Community Growth. It was the first time I'd shared my method publicly, and honestly, I wasn't quite sure how it would be received. The feedback afterwards was amazing. ❤️ But what really stuck with me were the conversations and questions that came afterwards. Because the more I talk to community owners, the more I'm hearing the same things. "I'm doing everything, but people aren't finding me." "I'm posting and getting crickets." "People join and then disappear." "There are just too many things to do." And then today I asked you what is driving you slightly crazy about your own community and you basically confirmed what I've been hearing. The problem isn't that community owners aren't trying hard enough. Most of you are already doing A Lot. The problem is often knowing what to focus on, why growth is getting stuck, and what to do next. I'm not ready to share The Organic Growth Matter quite yet. I want to listen first. So keep telling me what's frustrating you about growing your community. Because I'm paying attention. 🌱
