Hey Fam! I'm Dion, based on the Sunshine Coast in QLD Australia. Loving Skool and been a long term fan of Sam's. I have switched from Teachable and FB private groups and the way myself and my team are using Skool has been very effective- even just being 7 days in! We have created a Free Community for start up entrepreneurs in SKOOL as a funnel- we then offer 'lead magnets mini courses' as the level up, have our paying students ring the bells and share wins and knowledge in the free community which is going really well! After the 1st 4 days we have gained 4 new high ticket clients using it this way, which in the past would have cost us $400-500 in ads using FB getting people to a private group or VSL. All Free members can see our private course content- which is also creating a lot of interest. Getting paying members is great but TBH just building a sick community of like-minded people is just so easy with this platform. Everyone is particularly loving the gamification and ease of use of the platform. Shout out to @Sid Sahasrabuddhe also for answering my daily 50 Q's 😂 🤣 Love what you and your team have created @Sam Ovens !

Hey Skool Team, Not sure if anyone has brought this up yet but FB groups have a cool feature where you can comment and tag '@everyone' which gives everyone an additional notification to boost/bump posts. Is this something that might be considered? Would anyone else find this valuable? Loving everything about Skool so far and really enjoy the fact that it's away from the social media platforms. Anyways, hope you're all having a killer week fam!

It would be great to have a feature to customize access to each. Eg if someone runs a subscription with a course, customer’s subscription runs out: they have access to the initial course purchased, but not the community or calendar for coaching calls

I have made a couple people admins in my group, but they are not showing up on the Gamification leaderboard. Can leaders show up in the leaderboard?

We have around 700 members in our group, and would like to provide access to a certain course to around 250 and access to a different course to the remaining. Is there a way to do this or would one have to go one by one?

After much testing, here are a few tactics that have been proven to produce a more active group for me: 1) Every week/month, create a post to welcome your new members to your Community. This brings them back to the platform that they might have forgotten about after signing up. Your welcome post could tag new members, include who the group is for, what's in it for them, free group resources, guidelines, CTA etc. 2) Take the time to send a message to each new member within a few days after they sign up. One thing that I include with the message is a link to the "Start here" pinned post, which gives them an overview of the group and what to do next. You can also ask them a question to spark an easy conversation. 3) Post a weekly community update, which can be anything related to the Community such as the groups growth, new courses, industry news, upcoming webinars, polls etc. Just make it consistent. 4) Encourage your members to post to the community board, and let them answer each others questions. Hold back from replying to a post right away, and give your members time to respond to each other. This is a small move that can really spark engagement and bonding between members. If you have a feeling that a particular member might add value to a post, tag them and let them take it from there. Works great! 5) Encourage members to share their wins and post their goals for the week/month. This is perfect because it's easy and helps to know what your members are working on/stuck with, which can spark even more engagement. Check in on the members mid week or month and ask how they are progressing on their goals. This goes a long way! Hope this provides some ideas for you. -Trent
