every Wednesday, i watch Skool news and give you the golden nuggets. if you want to re-watch it, you can find it in the Vault. it's a big bada boom this week - introduction of the Skool Growth Boost function: - they have been teasing it for the last couple of weeks - you might have seen your community being advertised by Skool - this is it! it was free, now - time to pay for it 😜 simply put, if you choose to allow Skool to promote your community, it costs 30% commission. but the tricky part is, even if ppl come to your community from Skool discovery page, you still pay 30% commission. in the video, i show where to turn it ON and OFF. and i share my thoughts on this new feature. in summary, i think it comes from good intentions, but there are some flaws there. let's see how this unfolds what are your thoughts?

I want to spend a hot minute to say massive thank you to everyone who left a review for Hackathon on Proveworth: @Ben Sherry @Mimi Ramsey @Krisztián Nagy @Kathy Fluch @Susan Wisnewski @Ana Una @Zena Ryder @Chris Suckling @Carin Chantel @Dave Schoof @Jennifer Juniper @Ruth aka Grace Rose 12 reviews!!! With that, we just hit 1st page of ALL communities. It's huge 🎉. I am beyond thankful for your effort and kind words. Extra kudos to @Ben Sherry for video testimonial! This is awesome. So, what? You know me, I turn everything (and I mean it) into a game and win-win-win situation. Here it is: - if you are not on this list, and you've got a benefit from this community, then go and do it - leave a review, text or video. The goal now is to grow up to the top of the list (61 reviews 😰). - join Friday Review Roulette - where you give reviews and you get reviews on Proveworth for more visibility, traffic and members!!! All authentic, no fakes, just giving it a bit of a boost and a little insentive. We cannot pay for reviews, or compensate it any other way. And I think it's good. But we can help each other grow faster. That's not against the rules. How fun is this on a scale from cool to awesome 🤩?

i see this question/topic again, and again in Skoolers and all around Skool: "should i remove inactive members?" here is where i landed (see the infographics for more details): - 90% of lurkers is an industry norm, so i no longer worry about it - instead of worrying about lurkers, i focus on active members to know & appreciate them - with lurkers, i try to design processes to contact them (email, dm, off platform), come up with fun "engagement boosting" activities, and plan to run re-targeting ads to get them back on Skool also, remember, that Skool is running ads to bring more ppl on the platform and into your community (how cool is that?!) where are you with lurkers right now? PS we're unpacking engagement tactics inside Community Income Mastermind this month. still $7/month until May 31 — then it goes up.

Day 3 is here. The final shift begins 🤩 Today we're tackling the topic that kept coming up over the last 48 hours: the one question underneath almost every conversation, every session, every Daily Chart post. HOW DO I ACTUALLY MAKE MONEY WITH THIS? Day 3 is all about monetization. Not theory. Not "someday when my community is bigger." Right now, with what you already have. First up today, Host or Expert: the Identity Crisis Killing Conversions. @Ben Sherry is joining us to unpack one of the most uncomfortable truths in community building — most community owners are over-invested in being liked and under-invested in being trusted to deliver results. And that gap is quietly killing their sales. Ben dropped eight free workshops a week and doubled his sales almost overnight. This session is about exactly that shift and why one well-designed live event builds more trust than months of free content ever will. Ben is the founder of The Live Event Studio (former Oracy Club) — a global community for founders who want to grow their business through live 1-to-many events. He's designed and delivered 300+ workshops and masterclasses and coached 150+ clients across coaching, consulting and tech. 👉 Be honest — are you running your community as a host people enjoy, or as an expert people trust enough to buy from? Drop your thoughts below. Ben will see this. 👇 - Full calendar of events here - All sessions & speakers introductions here - Purchase all-access pass for $27 (all recordings & VIP sessions) here

I've invited some of the coolest ppl on Skool to talk about relevant topics + run a workshop to help you solve the problem of: - traffic - engagement - conversion You can join free / live or buy the recordings + VIP hot seat with me 👑 PS I am going to invite these amazing ppl into this community so they could help you accelerate your growth! Win-Win-Win, everyone!!!
