six people came into Community Income Mastermind this week. five joined, one upgraded. three of the six took the annual 🤩 that's not a coincidence, and it's worth explaining, because it's the last useful thing i can tell you before prices change tomorrow. WHO TAKES THE YEAR? - people who've been at this for a while - they've already lived through the month where nothing happened - so they stopped expecting the fast version, they know it is gonna take some time before they see the results THIS TAKES LONGER THAN ANYONE TOLD YOU - getting to $5k+ per month is gonna take months - not days. not weeks. not "one funnel away." - it might be less than 12 months. i hope it is less than that. but if you get your expectations low, everything else is gonna be a pleasant surprise WHY ANNUAL MAKE SENSE - obviously, you save sh*t ton of money 💰 - pay monthly and you'll judge this in 30-day chunks. that's just what monthly billing does to your brain. - you'll hit day 28 of a slow month, decide it isn't working, and cancel two weeks before the thing you started in month one starts to move. annual isn't me squeezing more out of you. it's me removing that decision. THE SIMPLE MATHS - annual is $197 today. monthly is $37, so the year pays for itself at five and a half months. - tomorrow annual is $497. so today $197 buys you a year. tomorrow it buys you two months. whatever you join at is your price for as long as you keep the subscription running. if you're genuinely sure you'll be done in three months, take the monthly. no shame. but if you are in this for the long run, take the year and stop counting. ➡️ join Community Income Mastermind $197/year (or $37/m). prices change tomorrow, 12pm Jerusalem time; that's 10 am London, 5 am New York.. 7-day free trial still there, cancel anytime. p.s. this is post 7 in a series of 8. last one tonight. p.p.s. glad to have @Marc Green part of the CIM crew

it's already Wednesday here in Israel, but somewhere in the world it is still Wednesday (23:39 in California 😜). every Wednesday we celebrate failures. what is FAILURE? - something you DID, but did not get the result (sent a proposal, run an ad, launched a community) - it is the way, it is the path - it is not an anomaly! hence, something that we must normalize and actually celebrate - failure = progress towards your goal. failure = being brave to do the unknown. i'll start: - early July i decided to use Upwork to offer Skool community building services + some digital marketing consulting and coaching - i have sent 72 proposals. got 4 interviews. and 0 job. fun 🤩 - i probably gonna call it a day. i have 35 connects left. so i will use them, but no longer buy new connects. - i will keep the profile - hopefully, it will help with SEO/AIO discoverability. over to you ⬇️

if you missed last week issue, it was a big announcement of review. this issue was a light. still a few points to pay attention to. ⭐️ REVIEWS: - seems like reviews improve conversions. so, Skool is slowly turning them visible to visitors - average rating is around 4.8 (so, there are mainly good reviews) - surprisingly, communities with 4.8 (some bad reviews) are doing BETTER than 5.0 communities. they think it's because it's more realistic and trustworthy - FREE members, paying customers outside platform, former paying members - HARD NO, they will not be able to leave reviews. again, they believe the feature will be abused too much and loose trust. - they assembled "review team" to review the reviews 😜 to remove reviews like "how do i cancel?" and other non-review reviews. this is GOOD! - they say it will be rolled out by end of month. so, go ahead and collect those reviews. are you actively asking for reviews? any questions on reviews? ⬇️ 🌎 GLOBALISATION: - more languages: 🇳🇱 Dutch, 🇨🇳 Chinese, 🇮🇹 Italian - global fast payouts in India, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Costa Rica 🏆 Groth Boost is Boosting - they have shared few success cases (good for them) - efficiency score is still in the making. it would be fun to see it. as always, you can find this and previous Skool News in the Vault for your convenience. p.s. how many reviews have you got already?

finally, we got something other than GB 😜 💥 BIG NEWS: Skool introduced native reviews! but please don't run deleting your profiles elsewhere, continue reading. ⚠️ UPDATE: i just realized that every community you left a review, has a link in that review, and when ppl click and join that community, i think they will be marked "Skool Network" and Skool will get 30% if GB is turned on 🤔 ℹ️ few things to note about reviews: - you can edit or delete the review that you've left. GOOD! - you can only leave 1 review per community. i can live with that - because you can edit your previous review. - your reviews are gonna be shown on your profile. so, if you are toxic and like to poo-poo on ppl, it will be visible. - owners and admins cannot leave reviews for their community - you can leave a review only after 30 days. make sense. - only paying RECURRING members can leave reviews (not free, not one-off). this sucks if your model is not MRR driven. - you can start leaving reviews and collecting reviews, but they will not be shown to NON-members. Skool wants to collect some reviews, and slowly turn them on (testing first), so that it does not damage your conversion rates. SMART! - if you offer incentives for review (courses, discounts, lollypops - Sam's words, not mine), you will get a BIG RED warning on your about page. this one is a bit shady for me... like, how would Skool know? are they checking DMs? posts inside my community? what about confidentiality? hm🤔 - more updates for this feature is coming. so, i hope they fix some of the things e.g. one-off paying members leaving a review now, the big question - should you focus on Skool reviews only now or not? thanks to Matt (founder of ProveWorth platform) who explained it very well in the video - go and check it out if you are member, if not - join his community, cause it worth it!
