Can I automate unlocking course access for specific people utilizing a zap? Basically I recommend to clients to only unlock content once the onboarding course/steps are complete. Is there a way to automate this in Skool?

"They" say people who pay pay attention, but is that actually true? As a consumer, do you find yourself staying engaged with communities you're paying for but disengaging from free communities? If the value in the free community is just as good if not better than the paid, would the fact that it's free subconsciously impact how you show up?

Notes from Shana Lynn podcast (watch on YouTube) with Sam Ovens: 👉Most important elements in building a community: - Having a commune cause (culture, vision or purpose) - Defined believes and boundaries (identity) - Communication (one2one, one2many, each others) - Connection (starts from safety) 👉How to measure safety: - Trust them first (say what you do and do what you say) - Integrity (authenticity) 👉Safety issue if this happens: - Members stops sharing there concerns, asking questions...(safety broken by leader or other members) - In that case leader responsibility is (as a group not to individual) to protect the community 👉Four phases to build a community: - Forming (uncertain phase): members are silent trying to figure out boundaries (like kids in playground for 1st time) - Storming: growth - Norming: protect community if rules broken (we don't do that here) - Performing: members start collaborating 👉Negative feedback is healthy: - Don't delete (because fear of spread...) negative comments if you want improvement - I you want to delete, open a new channel (phone call...) about this negative comment - Necessary iteration phase to build successful community (and the product...) - By nature we want things that we don't have - Beta stage (fixe bugs) that never ends (encourage feedback loop) 👉Clarity: - Comes from strong leadership (if not you, so will be someone else) - Stops showing up (not replying to negative feedbacks, get bored, overwhelmed...) - Clear cause 👉Avoid the trap of being burnt: - Encourage colloboration between members (invite connections) - Create spaces for your community (platform, live event, zoom calls...): let members shine (being experts) - Encourage members retention by recognition (thanks for comments...) - Pay attention to your ego: I am the only expert - Pay attention to greed: It's mine (but it's about the members not you) - Want control (fear of being canceled...) - Difficult to maintain (under the gun to produce content like on Tik Tok...)

Do we have the ability to have members pay a higher price for a short period of time like 3 months and then that price gets reduced if they stay beyond the initial 3 months?

Imagine you're a member of some groups (not the owner or admin). Somebody "innocent", not somebody trying to sell people stuff... How many new people would you start a DM conversation with in 1-week?
