Using Skool for a Happy Community 🙂
(How to win friends and influence people the Skool Way) Hey loves, as we have so many Skool newbies I thought I'd share a bit of the "Skool Etiquette" that will help you level up AND make friends on Skool! I am a bit of a Skool dinosaur compared to most people in here 🤪 and have ran my own online communities for 10 years now so the below is not "rules", just best practices that might be helpful for those of you new to this platform. Things that are great on Skool (that the Skool team, admins and top contributors/creators love!)👇🏼 ✅ Liking (by pressing like) other peoples posts and comments (this helps them level up) ✅ Being supportive of others (especially if they are being brave/vulnerable/celebrating) ✅ Give more than you take ✅ GIFS - we love GIFS on Skool! ✅ Remember that the admin team of Skool groups are humans too (and have busy lives) so be aware of not giving them extra work unnecessarily. ✅ Show appreciation to others who have been kind/supportive/generous to you (a simple "thank you" goes a long way) Things that are not so great on Skool (that may also annoy people which we don't want)👇🏼 ❌ Spamming people in the DM's 🙄 (Don't do this - I had someone message me asking for likes the other day and we don't do this either, we only message for genuine connection). ❌ Sharing your own things on someones post while not acknowledging them 🙄 If you didn't like their post, or acknowledge what THEY said first, it's probably not best to drop your own advice/opinion as it can come across as hostile. It takes two seconds to like and acknowledge them before you share your part. When you don't it can appear like you are not listening to, or caring about the poster (if you don't know the person really well this is really important). It's like the person who you tell a story to and when you stop talking then they change the conversation and tell a story without acknowledging your story you just shared! (We all know someone like this 😝) Example of how to do this in a positive way on someones post (that you gave a LIKE before you comment!) 👇🏼
