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

We built the ProveWorth profile live, talked through what to put in each section, and walked through how reviews actually work so it’s usable, not confusing. Most of the time was spent on the ProveWorth build itself and how to use it inside a Skool community, especially if you’re running or planning a free public community. We will have a call this upcoming Friday to go more in-depth about what @Matthew Burns has learned about the AI Discoverability, since having his website up and running. (Calendar link to be added soon) What we covered on this call: - How ProveWorth works as a third party proof layer for communities - Why outside proof matters when someone is deciding whether your community is worth joining - How to claim and build your ProveWorth community profile - What to write when you are staring at a blank page - How reviews work, including approvals, edits, and replies - Where and how to use your ProveWorth link inside Skool We also talked a bit about SEO and AI discoverability and why ProveWorth plays a role there. Things like how public Skool communities get indexed, why links matter, and how ProveWorth supports trust and visibility came up throughout the call, but the focus stayed on getting the setup right first. 🎥 Watch the replay when you can and let us know if you have any questions: https://youtu.be/7QgnYKv9qEo?views Also check out the ProveWorth profile and feel free to leave a review: https://proveworth.com/communityprofile?slug=what-is-skool I’ll make a separate post showing exactly how to ask for reviews inside your own community so you can use it as an example. As the young generation says: Very meta. (or something like that) 👉 Here is the ProveWorth community, if you want to check it out. Shout out and huge thank you to @Matthew Burns for being on the live and also creating ProveWorth! 🙌

EDIT: To honor the privacy of everyone, I'm cleaning the community up first. It takes a bit of time to do so, but I'm about 1/2 way there. I want to give everyone plenty of time and transparency around an upcoming change. Starting December 1, this group will shift to a public setting. This means anything posted inside will be viewable to anyone, so please take time now to remove or edit anything you would not want visible publicly. This is also your chance to post about your community while I still have posting open for members. After December 1, only commenting will be available. There may be a name change as well. Still undecided on that. If being part of a public space no longer feels aligned for you, this also gives you time to leave without pressure. No hard feelings whatsoever. This decision connects directly to how I recommend using Skool. A free public community supports SEO and AI discoverability, which helps the right people find practical guidance when they need it most. From there, they can choose to go deeper through paid or tiered communities. What you will continue to see here is focused, practical content that breaks down Skool features, community building strategies, announcements, and new updates in a way that supports you in making smarter decisions for your own community. The goal is for you to clearly understand what to do and why it matters for your growth and visibility. There will also be special things I do here for my paid members (yes, there is a paid community, but that is getting some changes as well.. which is why it's hidden from my profile til changes are made), such as featuring their communities under specific circumstances, while still keeping this space valuable and educational for everyone. Why now? Things shifted when I became a Skoolers moderator. My goal is to make learning more open and more accessible so more people can build stronger communities, avoid common missteps, and feel more confident navigating this platform.

Now that tiers are out & we can see what version 1 looks like... What are you planning to do with them?

You can now make it where people cannot send a DM to other members til they reach level 9 Now... they would be best friends by the time they reach level 9 LOL
