For high volume groups one of the main features we've used in Facebook groups is the ability for all posts having to be approved by an admin or moderator. Possibly a useful feature to add to control the inflow of posts in groups?

Description of Problem: it only takes one or two sour apples to ruin the vibes in a community. It happens from time to time (especially in high ticket where people are investing a fair amount) that a student gets upset and decides to start spamming the group with upsetting posts and content. This often has a ripple effect of diminishing peoples' confidence in themselves and their ability to succeed. As a platform that prides itself on community collaboration, I'm sure most everyone can agree that a moderation suite is critical in maintaining integrity. Feature: the specific request would be for the ability to toggle-on a "posts must be approved by a moderator" feature that allows the moderators or admins to preview posts, and then choose to approve or deny them. If the post is denied, the moderator or admin would have the ability to send private feedback to the user about the reason behind the rejection of the post. Business impact: we're about to migrate roughly 3,000 high ticket clients into Skool. The lack of more robust moderation tools means we need to staff extra customer support resources to lurk on the community page, ready to remove any "violating" posts.

Will there be the ability to go LIVE? Not having this feature is the ONLY thing keeping us from shifting our FB community to Skool...

I just recorded a video about *everything* we did to reach 1,000 members in our new free community, Creator Party, in the first 30 days of launching it. (I approved the 1,000th member live in the video!) We consistently hear from our members that our community is the most engaged, generous, and FUN group they have *ever* been a part of. I’m sharing with you how we’ve created such a thriving group that people rave about to their friends. In the training I share: ➡️ How we set up and prepped the group to be valuable and engaging from day 1 ➡️ The podcasts, posts and emails promoting the group, with examples ➡️ Why and how I asked for help and rallied our community to invite their friends ➡️ How we highlight our free trainings and leverage “podcast chats” into engaging posts It’s everything we did to reach 1,000 incredible members in 30 days in our free community. I hope you find this valuable, if you have any questions just pop them in the comments, I’m happy to help. Next stop… monetization! I’m excited for what’s to come 😁 Thank you to Sam and Skool!

Now you can explore all the communities on Skool! This has two benefits: 1. Members can find communities that interest them 2. Communities get found by members (free advertising) Open your switcher (cmd + k) and click "Discover communities" to explore. You can search for anything, browse categories, and filter by free/paid, and private/public. We rank communities by an engagement/quality score. The more engaged your community is, the higher you rank. This means the better you make your community, the more members you get. Watch the video below for more info. Enjoy 🎉

Hi, I am looking for the best “PAID Community” training if possible using Skool as Community Software, or also a Mastermind about it… Any options you can recommend me??? Thanks in advance!

Any advice welcome. I have always hosted my groups on FB and got great engagement. I am finding engagement in my courses on SKOOL great.. (I love it and so do they) however engagement in the community on Skool is not great. I don't want to take them back to FB for better communication. Eg I get notififed when they tag me there, I only seem to get this when I login to Skool.... I can't tag everyone in the group at once and can only email them every 72 hours.... and can't go live (all methods I usually use to connect with them all and connect them with each other) How is everyone else successfully getting group engagement in their Skool Community- I would love to improve this. thanks so much- J

Whats everyone's experience? Pros and cons of each? I'm leaning towards a free private community with locked (paid) workshops using the calendar

My Leadeth stats today are: In the past 30 days, your group grew to 109 members (+18) and 52 members (48%) were active. Looking for some suggestions on how to proactively engage the community with more discussions? I’ve seen other groups post ‘social media sharing pods’ we’re members can share post for a wider reach.

i hate always having to manually calculate my cash runway (how much time i got before money runs out). it's something I do literally every single day like 5 times per day. So i just decided to build a simple app where i can put in my numbers like current cash + burn rate. Using that it automatically calculates & visualizes how much runway I have and time I got left to get my 💩 together 😂. idk if it's helpful to anyone in here since y'all are entrepreneurs, if it is let me know i can share with you ❤️ -Qazi

What is it about deadlines that makes you MOVE? They can put the fire under your A$$! DO IT NOW! I'm learning with @Mariah Coz in her group "Monetize with Mariah" about getting Skool set up. While I've created groups and programs and masterminds, and I put deadlines on MYSELF, this is different. She is dangling a carrot that, if I have it set up by Sunday and tell her about it, SHE'LL TELL THE WORLD in a Black Friday advert. Fun! But for my existing clients, I've already told them I'll open today, no matter what! So now the fire is under and around and inside to GET 'ER DONE! I'm excited! Sharing this here because, I bet I'm not the only one who's been taking longer than hoped or planned. Can you give yourself a deadline and commit to it?! Feel free to share your deadline here! Now LET'S GOOOO!!! C'mon. Skool is fantastic. We all know that. So let's get those Skools created so we can make use of them!

Hey Skool... buddies? I wanted to share how I'm using a free group funnel to move people to my paid community... using Skool of course! Now, I'm not the biggest fan of writing, I get bored fast.. so I'm mostly gonna bullet point this AND I made a Loom video here: https://www.loom.com/share/b56c806bd5444f91841893a88f68f4d3?sid=963c74d8-e876-4fe7-bf80-2a72c97cc124 Happy to answer whatever questions you like. Ok, so main things to know: - I run a company called AJ&Smart, we're a digital product studio and innovation training company (we help companies like Lego, Google, GE, Amex etc with their digital products) which also sells online courses (mainly to teach people how to Facilitate Workshops) - For the specific online course side of the business, we use Skool to funnel people from ads/youtube videos (example)/books and other activities into a Free Group called "Facilitator Club" - Facilitator Club is focussed on helping consultants in the product/innovation/tech space move from being people who have to execute tasks for their clients to just being involved in the strategic/up-front work like "ideation". We also have a lot of people from other industries in there too who just want to move toward strategy and away from execution. Here's the group: https://www.skool.com/facilitatorclub (Please only join if you think it might be relevant). - This free group is full of little things to keep people engaged, primarily using the Leaderboard system to help people "unlock" courses and resources. These actually help people to preview the quality of our paid stuff. - The free group acts as a "holding pattern" for people to move to our paid group which costs €6000 and now almost has 1000 members. - The free group isn't the only way people are getting into the paid group, but it's definitely been an amazing place to "warm people up" before moving them to the paid group.

Here is the consensus... tldr; skool dominates. Context: I'm a developer, a huge tech nerd. Have a YouTube channel with 1m+ subs and 5,000+ paying customers. Done well over 7+ figures in revenue. I have used Teachable, Kajabi, Podia, Heartbeat, Facebook Groups, Discord, Slack, and probably few others I can't think of lol. And spent 100's of hours in the last few weeks trying to pick a solid platform that meets my needs. Yesterday I got on free trials for circle & skool. I spent hours and hours talking to my good friend about the pros and cons. I wanted to join circle so bad because the UI/UX seems SOOO much better on Circle. But skool had simplicty. I couldn't make up my mind. So here's what I decided to do. A live user test. I went to my girlfriend. Opened up a Circle community on the 1st tab. Opened up a Skool community on the 2nd tab. Asked her to use them. I just sat back and watched. Holy mother of hell. She kept clicking on random things in Circle and kept getting confused in terms of how to navigate. She didn't know exactly where the course material was vs. community. vs. members. I then watched her use Skool. She knew EXACTLY where the community was, members, and the course. Here are her exact words... "I don't know how to put it... But Skool just feels familiar." And in my head I was like "Yes it does lol. Because it's Facebook". I then asked my girlfriend to rate her experience on both platforms. She said 6/10 on Circle. She said 9/10 on Skool. I then sat down and started building my course modules on Skool. The experience was better than ANY course builders experience than I've ever had. It's fast. It's simple AF. and it genuinely inspired me to build. It was a similar experience i've had when I used beehiiv for emails. It blew Convertkit and everything else out of the water for me. So... I think I'm going to be going with Skool. I'm still in the 14 day trial. Haven't started paying just yet. But I think very soon I will be.

You love Skool, right? :) It's one of the best platforms for online coaches and entrepreneurs right now. It has everything you need to grow your business and your audience. A killer community, a sleek classroom, a powerful dashboard, and a bunch of other cool features. Skool is awesome. But... It could be even better. Much better. Here are a few features I think Skool users would love to have: 1. Voice notes: Text is fine, but voice is better. It's more personal, more human, more engaging. Imagine being able to send voice messages to your students, your peers, or your mentors. How cool would that be? You could share your insights, your feedback, or your jokes in a snap. No more typing, no more typos, no more boring messages. Just pure voice 🔥 @Derek James talked about it here 2. More formatting options within posts: Have you seen the new Twitter feature that lets you write threads in one single tweet and add pictures in the middle of your text? You can also make some words bold or italic to emphasize your points. That's pretty neat, right? Well, could we have something like that too. It would make the posts more interactive and well explained. You could show screenshots, graphs, memes, or whatever you want to spice up your content. 3. A plus tab that shows you a list of all communities and what they do: You know how hard it is to find the right community for you on Skool? There are so many of them, and they all have different names, niches, and prices. It's like a jungle out there. Well, what if there was a way to browse through all the communities in one place? You could sort them alphabetically, by category, by price, or by popularity. You could also search for keywords and find all the communities related to them. For example, if you're looking for ads-related communities, you could just type "ads" and see all the options. That would be awesome, right? And guess what? Skool could also make some money by charging commissions for putting some communities on top of the list. Win-win. (this isn't that necessary though)
