You can now post about IRL meetups directly in Skoolers. This is no longer limited to Skool sponsored events. The only official Skool IRL event right now is The Skool Games. By the way, IRL means In Real Life! So like meeting up in person with others. If you want to organize a meetup in your area and bring other Skoolers together, you can share it in Skoolers now. We love seeing you host IRL events! There is one important boundary to keep your post up: It cannot be self promo. This means no links to your personal community and no affiliate links. Your meetup should be open to Skoolers as a whole. Not built around your community, your offer, or a way to bring people into your space. If your post points people back to your group, your brand, or anything you are promoting, it will get removed. A simple way to check before you post: If your community didn’t exist, would this meetup still make sense? If yes, you’re good. If no, rework it. Want to double check? Feel free to message one of us to review it prior, if you'd like. @Alayna Lee @Jesse Woltersom @Ellis Sargent @Tristram Samoa The goal is real connection between Skoolers. Also, once you host one, then please feel free to post the photos and also share tips from your own experience in the Skoolers community! Sharing your tips from your experience can help encourage others to have their own. 👇 If you’ve been thinking about hosting something, where would you do it?

Tomorrow we’re doing a friendly About Page roast 🔥 If you want in, comment below with: Who your ideal member is Your About page link We’ll pick one person to review live and if you’re up for it, you can come on stage and talk through your community with us. We’ll choose today at 7 PM CST, then message you. 👇 Who’s dropping their page?

I can't help it... I'll make a more in-depth post on this later... BUT I am so excited! 🥳 Christmas in February!

This community helps you understand what Skool is, how the platform works, and stay up to date with platform changes that affect how people use it. Sometimes I will highlight Skool communities that are worth checking out. These are shared as real examples of how people are using the platform and what different types of communities can look like in practice. So What is Skool? Skool is a community platform where people can discover or create communities. People use Skool to run communities that include content, discussions, events, and memberships in one place. Inside the Classroom, you will find three main resources: Skool Basics This walks through what Skool is, what Skoolers is, and how the Skool Games work. Skool Build Template This is a practical starter kit you get free access to just by joining the community. The build template includes a checklist, a questionnaire to help you think through your idea, and Canva templates you can use to set things up visually. Skool Clarity Call Feedback Real responses from community members about their ideas and the clarity they gained from clarity calls. This is something I recommend community owners do for their own members when starting out, no matter what their community is about. You can see what others have to say by joining the community for free. What will the content in here look like? You will see: - Resources and templates you can use. - Our latest Skool videos and podcast episodes. - Highlighted communities that are worth checking out. - Posts about new Skool features and platform changes. - Breakdowns of how different Skool communities are structured and what is working.

When you are on any online platform, we all know by now there is bound to be spam. People talking about dropshipping, asking you to move to WhatsApp, saying “Hello dear,” and sending messages that clearly do not belong in a real community space. Some of the common questions Skool community owners and admins have about dealing with spam are: How do I stop spammers in my Skool community? How can I tell if a Skool membership request is fake? What is the best way to prevent spam DMs in Skool? How do I use Skool’s features to reduce spam? Well Skool just released a new feature update that helps community owners spot spam accounts directly inside Skool membership requests. You can now see when a profile is marked as high risk for spam before approving them, which makes protecting your Skool community much easier. Before this update, one of the best ways to identify fake accounts was by checking location details through chat. Many spammers say they are from one place, but their profile data shows something completely different. That extra step worked, but it took more time. Now the process is faster and clearer. See the photo to see how the locations do not match. This is a simple example of how spotting these red flags early can help you stop spam accounts before they ever get inside your community. You can also put smart systems in place alongside this new feature. Setting level requirements for things like sending direct messages or posting in your Skool community helps reduce spam and protects your members. Requiring people to reach a certain level before they can message others or post gives you more control, saves time, and keeps your community focused on real conversations instead of cleanup. Personally, I recommend setting the chat level to at least 4. This gives you a better chance of spotting accounts that try to comment back and forth quickly just to level up and unlock messaging. It also gives real members time to get to know each other inside the community before moving straight into private messages.
