Hi @Sam Ovens I currently run a free group funnel which I noticed there are a few scammers joining multiple Skool groups and posting how to get rich quick. The current solution to ban them is to manually delete each comment (which they usually post 30-50 times). FEATURE REQUEST - In Facebook, they have a way to remove all of the members activity in one button when banning them. Maybe Skool can consider implementing such feature? It is obviously a bot account and they do fill out the screening questionnaires and stay in the group for a while before posting their bot info. Here's the example text and profile attached as image. Example attached for all the groups she is part of. Thanks a lot!

Now you can charge money for membership to your community! Skool replaces your landing page, order form, merchant account, and everything else — it does everything, end-to-end, seamlessly. You add a price, share a link, get members, and make money. Watch the video to see how it works. Questions? Check out this Skool payments FAQ. Enjoy 🎉

Hey Skool team, I have been working on building my skool community to be more vibrant and more viral as well. Currently, there are 700+ people on my community in the niche - The community is called Invest & Retire: https://www.skool.com/invest-retire-community-1699 My main focus is to help full time professional to invest & generating monthly passive income using advanced investing strategies - How I acquire subscribers currently: I believe most of my skool members are acquired through this method: YouTube Ads > VSL + Email subscriber + Skool invite Then if they didn't opt in the first time, I sent additional value email relating to investing and including a link to join the skool community - How I encourage engagement: I provide prizes to the top 10 contributors of the community. For example, I give away around $1,000 worth of stock shares per month (example includes AMZN, SHOP, KO etc.). This is an idea I got from the community - thank you :) I think the top 10 contributors prize (which I got from this community) is a great idea to encourage engagement. There are people who loved it and this generates more content using the power of the community. - Problem: However, I tried using the same prize method to encourage the use of referral link within skool including -Offer a prize for 5 referrals (e.g. a free stock share) -Offer a gift card for each referral and they just need to tag them in the post Both methods to encourage referrals did not end up resulting in any significant increase in members I also tried using YouTube ads directly to Skool but the lack of tracking makes it difficult to measure success. - The ask Do you have any ideas on how to encourage more opt in into the community? I was thinking: - a small paid lead magnet (e.g. a guide or book) to opt in once you join the community - creating youtube shorts to drive traffic to the community (but it didn't work before - I can try again)

Skool is Amazing - I love the way the communities are constructed Recently, I've been trying to run ads to grow my skool community but unsuccessful. Has anyone tried running ads to Skool? I am unable to track conversion effectively which means I can't scale it. How would you construct a funnel which sends people to Skool with analytics? Currently, I have: - Ads -> Landing Page -> VSL (plus skool) But I want to create: - Ads -> Skool (and skipping VSL along with landing page) but I am unsuccessful in this regard Any tips would be helpful! Maybe it would be great to somehow include referral URL or some analytic features showing where the people are joining Cheers, Eric

@Andrew Kirby stopped by Skool HQ the other day to hang out. We talked about Skool for 6 hours. He's doing some interesting things with his free group "Synthesizer School". He basically funnels his audience (social, email list, etc.) to his free group + mini-course. He builds a relationship with his audience in the group, and occasionally promotes his paid course. It works! The funnel: Audience → to Community → to Customers. Anyway... I got Kirby to create a "Free Group Funnel" mini-course sharing his process. If you have any questions, comment below, and I'm sure Kirby will help. Enjoy!
