Here is the screenshot that I took at the 15th of July. Again I am a few days late but here we go. Congratz! @Andrew Hand - 40 EUR @Sean Walsh - 20 EUR @Matt McDonnell - 10 EUR Just in case you are curious again on how it works: 🗓 On the 15th of each month, I’ll check the Skool leaderboard and reward the top 3 people with: - 🥇 1st place: 40 EUR - 🥈 2nd place: 20 EUR - 🥉 3rd place: 10 EUR How does the leaderboard work? Skool automatically gives you points when your posts or comments receive likes. The more value you bring, the more likes you’ll get — and the higher you’ll climb. ✅ You get points when people like YOUR content (again when PEOPLE like YOUR content, not when YOU like other people's content) ❌ You don’t get points for liking others (but it’s still nice to do!) This isn’t about posting non-stop, posting about sample lib discounts all the time or spamming this place — it’s about quality! Share your progress, help others, ask good questions, or post useful insights — that’s what drives real engagement and community growth. And yep, more activity also helps boost our group in Skool’s discovery algorithm, meaning more exposure, more members, and more opportunities for everyone. Let’s make it fun, helpful, and a little competitive. Looking forward to seeing what you all share! — Alex

Hey music crafting people, in case you need some great profile pictures or anything, try this in ChatGPT. Upload a selfie, then use this prompt: A cinematic double exposure of a man in profile, with a post-apocalyptic cityscape inside his silhouette. The inner scene shows the man walking through a destroyed, burning urban street, buildings in ruins, glowing embers and fire, with a dramatic sunset in the background. Moody lighting, warm tones, emotional and introspective mood, high detail, 8K resolution Another example would be: Create a high-contrast black and white close-up portrait of the referenced man. The image should depict only the left half of his face, partially submerged in water, with water droplets and bubbles visible on his skin and hair. Illuminate the left side of the face dramatically, casting the rest into deep shadow. dark background. detail in skin texture, beard stubble, and eye focus to evoke a moody cinematic atmosphere.
