the latest Skool updates. and the honest, unfiltered verdict from me. THE VERDICT (text and video below) i see Growth Boost is like a casino married to a financial pyramid: - if you are free, low ticket, low conversion/retention rates, forget it - no ads on you - if you are doing okay, they will include you in the carousel 🎠 which is no different from option 1. it means you only get visitors from discovery and search and profile. it means, they are growing Skool, you pay for it - if you are doing good (based on efficiency score we have not seen - but know how is calculated), you get dedicated campaign with $1-5k per day budget. but, let's get real here for a sec: if they do it for 100 communities, spending $3k on average, their daily ad spend is $300k, monthly - $9mln. well, do you believe that they have such investment? and even so, 100 communities is 0.16% BOOM! because, there 160k members in Skoolers. forget free communities. even then there are 60-80k paid communities. my real verdict is - i just don't see ppl joining small/ paid / expensive communities right away - focus on getting traffic to your community by yourself - they just announced "re-adjustment" so, sorry, you might not see results for next 1-2 weeks - getting your community into the carousel?? i see no value in it. and then, ppl search and find you and you pay Skool 30-70%. is it fair? - more importantly, you advertise, ppl go to skool, check your profile, join from there and you give Skool 30-70%. is this fair? --- here is the summary for the curious or find the recording in the Vault, as all previous recordings 🤩 New Features: - Skool reviews are now visible on Google. YEY. i could see them for Community Income Mastermind. but not for this community. it's weird. i will ask in Skoolers and update you once i understand the issue. - now Skool in the browser will autodetect the language and will translate the menu, and the content of the groups.

it's that time again. as always, you can find all Skool News issues, including the latest, in the Vault. - someone just got to 1Mln MRR. wow or not?! i am curious, how much this motivates you? vote below 👇🏻 - Growth Boost is in turbulence mode (SURPRISE-SURPRISE). whatever that means. hence, do not rely on it (PLEASE don't) - reviews are ON for everyone. GOOD! but... be careful, if you have a free or freemium community. cause ... just like mine with 740+ member i only got 2 reviews. it could actually bring your conversion down. - few more improvements for reviews: better tracking how many months someone is paying + moderation (ppl can report a review) , and they want to do a better sorting of reviews - all very good!!! - videos now have auto-generated captions and transcript in different languages. GOOD! Skoolers Classroom Update - interviews with ppl who got $150k+ MRR. IDK i will comment in the comments once i watch those interview. but... my fear, it is not useful for 99% of us. cause we are miles away... and what we should do is way different from what these ppl do. anywho. for now, i just want to say that i don't think "one number" can be the "only number". cause how many rich & successful ppl are not happy? i can name a few. anyway. good things. bad things. nah things. that's life.

UPDATE: Premium now is $1 per year. feel free to upgrade. ok my dear members. i wanted to keep this community free forever. BUT... Skool has changed the game. we cannot fight the game. we can find the way to play the game. only PAYING members can leave reviews. also, obviously, Skool will not drive traffic to my community if it's free (even freemium is not that attractive). finally, i am tired of bots and fakes and other spammers. so, that would eliminate them. hence, i am considering turning this community into $1 community. FIRST THINGS FIRST: - if you are here for free, you can stay for free forever (as long as i am alive) unless you want to leave a review - for that you will need to change your plan to $1 per month - if you are premium, obviously, this does not impact you any way having said that... will you be willing to pay me $1 (less than a coffee cup in many countries, defo Israel) per month for all the amazing value i provide?

six people came into Community Income Mastermind this week. five joined, one upgraded. three of the six took the annual 🤩 that's not a coincidence, and it's worth explaining, because it's the last useful thing i can tell you before prices change tomorrow. WHO TAKES THE YEAR? - people who've been at this for a while - they've already lived through the month where nothing happened - so they stopped expecting the fast version, they know it is gonna take some time before they see the results THIS TAKES LONGER THAN ANYONE TOLD YOU - getting to $5k+ per month is gonna take months - not days. not weeks. not "one funnel away." - it might be less than 12 months. i hope it is less than that. but if you get your expectations low, everything else is gonna be a pleasant surprise WHY ANNUAL MAKE SENSE - obviously, you save sh*t ton of money 💰 - pay monthly and you'll judge this in 30-day chunks. that's just what monthly billing does to your brain. - you'll hit day 28 of a slow month, decide it isn't working, and cancel two weeks before the thing you started in month one starts to move. annual isn't me squeezing more out of you. it's me removing that decision. THE SIMPLE MATHS - annual is $197 today. monthly is $37, so the year pays for itself at five and a half months. - tomorrow annual is $497. so today $197 buys you a year. tomorrow it buys you two months. whatever you join at is your price for as long as you keep the subscription running. if you're genuinely sure you'll be done in three months, take the monthly. no shame. but if you are in this for the long run, take the year and stop counting. ➡️ join Community Income Mastermind $197/year (or $37/m). prices change tomorrow, 12pm Jerusalem time; that's 10 am London, 5 am New York.. 7-day free trial still there, cancel anytime. p.s. this is post 7 in a series of 8. last one tonight. p.p.s. glad to have @Marc Green part of the CIM crew

My new book hit #1 in Chronic Pain, #1 in Pain Management, and #1 in New Age Mental & Spiritual Healing this weekend. Full transparency: these are Amazon's free charts, not the paid ones. I’d rather state that clearly than let anyone assume otherwise. But it still put the book directly in front of hundreds of strangers looking for relief. What actually drove it: - Gave it to my community first. 20 personalized advance copies, addressed to real people by name. They became the first reviewers and the loudest sharers. - Taught instead of pitched. Two live sessions over the launch —10 minutes of teaching, practicing together, then Q&A. People buy after they’ve experienced the work. - Kept the community free. The free school is the distribution. People trust me enough to download a book because nothing was extracted from them first. The uncomfortable truth: None of this happened because of launch week. It happened because of three years of showing up weekly to a room of people(Circle, then switch over to Skool), most of whom will never pay me anything. The launch simply collected on built-up trust. 📖 You can grab the book for free through Tuesday, Sept 1: 👉 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HF2RBHWX (No Kindle device needed—works on any phone, tablet, or laptop via the free Kindle app.) The short story: I spent 38 years chronically ill—living with MS, bipolar, migraines, and psoriatic arthritis, using a cane, a walker, and 13 daily prescriptions. 15 years ago, I stopped handing the job of healing over to my mind. Today, I walk freely without daily meds. It's not just a health book. The section on The Five Depths of Head Trash covers the exact overthinking that keeps you researching instead of shipping—which, for community builders, might be the most useful part. Question for the room: What is something you built slowly that later paid off all at once?
