Yesterday, everybody was so excited at the launch of Freemium ⟶ Plans, myself included. Then this morning my friend, and member @Mindy Molein shared this video in her community: Start Your Skool Community. All I can say is wow! I know we are all busy, but find 15 minutes to watch this video, especially the part about engagement in Freemium communities. I know where @Krista Brea is on this subject. I am headed in the same direction. If you are a coach, or sell a service in the offline world, why shouldn't you get paid on Skool? Please watch this video and drop your biggest takeaway below.

There's been a lot of discussion lately about whether it's better to offer a 7-day free trial or a Freemium community. Today, Skool may have tipped the scales a little. When someone clicks Join Group on a Freemium community, they now see your paid membership tiers before joining the free community. I think that's a meaningful improvement. Instead of discovering your paid options later, visitors immediately know there's a path to upgrade. For creators using Freemium, that's one more opportunity to communicate the value of becoming a paid member. Will it outperform a 7-day trial? Time will tell. But it's nice to see Skool continuing to invest in the Freemium experience. Which model are you using today? 🟢 Freemium 🔵 7-Day Free Trial 🟣 Paid Only 🟡 Still deciding I'd also love to hear why you chose that model.

Let's be honest... Most creators would rather spend time writing a post, recording a video, or designing a new landing page than thinking about cookie banners and privacy policies. I get it. I'd rather build new features, too. But if you're running a website or link-in-bio page, there's another side of your online presence that deserves attention. Things like: 🍪 Cookie consent 📊 Analytics & tracking pixels 📄 Privacy Policy 📋 Terms of Service These aren't the things that get likes, shares, or new followers. Great content does that. But these are the details that build trust with your visitors and can help you meet your privacy compliance obligations. As privacy laws continue to evolve, website owners are facing increased scrutiny over how they collect and use visitor data. There have also been legal actions involving websites that failed to properly disclose tracking technologies or obtain consent where required. Whether you have 100 visitors or 100,000, it's worth asking yourself: ✅ Does my site use Google Analytics? ✅ Do I have a Meta or TikTok Pixel installed? ✅ Am I collecting cookies before visitors have a chance to consent? ✅ Do I have an up-to-date Privacy Policy and Terms of Service? As I've been building EZ Bio, I've spent a surprising amount of time on the parts most people never see. Not because they're exciting. Because they're important. One of my goals with EZ Bio is to remove as much of this complexity as possible. That's why every published EZ Bio page includes built-in cookie consent, so members can focus on creating content instead of figuring out compliance from scratch. You create the content. We'll help take care of the compliance pieces. 📊 Poll How are you currently handling cookie consent on your website or link-in-bio page?

I may be a bit extreme, but I have a tremendous number of websites and social media outlets. Most are interlinked, some are totally independent - but I've got... a LOT of internet "properties." For the past week, I've been going through and cleaning things up, deleting some stuff, updating, etc. For a one man band, it's always amazing to me how many things I have to fix or correct or update on the regular. I'm not necessarily talking updating software or whatever - but links, images, styles and vibe. In branding (that's what I do, by the way,) presenting a correct, consistent and fresh front is massively important. It's amazing to me how many "influencers" and online marketers have broken links, outdated info and totally inconsistent visual presentations. That's why I "audit" my properties once every couple of months. I have an SOP that works for me. It's probably worthless to anyone else - but I'd be curious to see anyone's systems or setups for making sure your online presence isn't stuck in 6 months ago.
