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?

Being considered a Skool "Power User", I'm in a lot of communities.. But I don't see that as a bad thing. One of the signs that someone is going to stick around on the platform is when they get plugged in and are a part of several communities! There are a mix of people in here.. some OGs, some who have been around a bit, & some brand new. I want to know how many communities you're in and what makes you join and stay in a community? Be as specific as you want to be :) This will be helpful for those who are wanting and working on creating a community worth joining and investing time to really become a member. 🫶

If you make money through Skool and are getting ready for taxes, the biggest thing to understand is where your tax information actually comes from and how it is handled. Skool does not issue 1099 forms. Stripe does. Skool uses Stripe to process all payments. Because of that, Stripe is the platform responsible for tax reporting. If you meet the reporting requirements for your location, Stripe will generate and send your 1099 for the income you earned through Skool. You will not receive a 1099 from Skool support. It comes from Stripe. Whether or not you will receive a 1099, you can still access everything you need inside Skool to stay organized. If you are looking for invoices related to money you earn on Skool, you will find those under payouts. You can go into the community you own, open the group settings, click on payouts, then select any individual payout to view the invoice tied to it. Or you can go to your profile settings, click on Payouts, and see all of your payouts in one place. This includes both your community payouts and your affiliate payouts. If you are looking for invoices related to money you pay on Skool, those are found under Payment History in your profile settings. This includes community memberships, one time purchases, and your monthly subscription payment to run your own community. You can also customize your invoices by adding your business name, address, and tax information. This is available on the settings wheel in Payment History. Once you update that, it applies to your invoices automatically. This helps keep everything consistent when you are organizing your records or sharing them with your accountant. If something is not showing up correctly, you can reach out to Skool support. To make the process go smoothly, be sure to submit the support ticket under the name of the community you need help with. Explain the issue clearly, include a screenshot if you have one, and share the correct information it should reflect. You can submit your request here: https://www.skool.com/support

Skool Stories is back on the Skool Stories YouTube channel and this return episode sets the tone for what is coming next. @Matthew Thompson and Evelyn Weiss sit down with Andrew Kirby and Claire Quinn to walk through how Skool started for them, what happened before Skool even existed, and how they ended up working at Skool today. Andrew talks about starting as a customer in Sam Ovens’ previous company and mastermind, watching Sam pivot to Skool, and investing when nobody really knew what Skool was yet. He explains how he ended up as one of the first investors, launched the first free Skool community for “synthesizers” who love to learn and teach, and later helped big creators bring their people into Skool. He walks through the full Hamza story from the original “why self improvement YouTubers are lying to you” video, to Hamza using his dopamine detox Reddit to get early subscribers, to the Loom plan that helped Hamza go from about twenty thousand a month to two hundred thousand a month in roughly thirty days with a Skool launch. Claire talks about starting as a nurse in a major trauma unit during covid, getting pushed into full responsibility early, and eventually hitting a point where she could not keep going at that pace. She explains how she moved into online work, took a Twitter job with Tiago Forte, helped launch Building a Second Brain, and then over time found her place at Skool as executive assistant, quietly running a lot of the details behind events and day to day operations. What makes this episode special is how candid it is. You get to see the messy middle. The unexpected turns. The exact moments where their lives and Skool crossed paths in a way neither of them planned. If you want a true inside look at Skool’s rise and what is coming next for creators, members, and the platform itself, you will want to watch this entire episode from start to finish.
