Hi all, I have a task for you. Please go to the map above and tag the person who "lives" closest to you in a comment and leave them a hello in the comments. I'm really excited to see how many connections you can make today! [Note: This isn't meant to be creepy - the closest person might be 1000kms away from you]

Last night, I officially moved the community to a freemium model (and this morning I posted an official WE’RE DOING IT video in the community) And less than 24 hours later, someone upgraded. What makes this one feel especially exciting is that this isn’t someone who’s been deeply embedded in my existing community or following everything I’ve been building for years. She saw what I was creating, saw the value, and said yes. For those of us building communities, I feel like that first paid yes hits differently. It’s one thing to believe there’s value in the room you’re creating. It’s another thing entirely when someone else sees it and chooses to invest in being part of it. So I’m celebrating this one. 🥳 Freemium model: officially validated by sale No.1! Now we build from here.

Paid communities are growing with Growth Boost now. Freemium communities will start getting features in Skool's Meta Ads in two weeks. This is a great opportunity to grow on Skool with social media (like Facebook, IG or YouTube) What do you think?

Skool rolled out a brand-new feature today that lets paying members leave reviews for the communities they belong to. 🎉 You can find it under Settings → Reviews. If @Brenda Rigney and Skool Scale Camp have helped you learn, grow, make connections, or build your community or business, please consider leaving a review and sharing a few words about your experience here. 💛 Reviews can help new people get a feel for the community before they join, so it’s another simple way to support SSC and help the right people find their way here. And apparently I was quick on the draw this morning because I got to leave SSC’s very first review! 🔥 Who’s next? ⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We’ve grown plants. We’ve designed islands. Now we’re hitting the trail! 🌲🥾 Welcome to Level Up to the Ridge — our end-of-summer community challenge. Everyone starts with an empty backpack. 🎒 Drop a backpack emoji (or GIF) 🎒 below in the comments! Then help your fellow community members get ready for the climb by adding: 🥾 Boots — to build a strong foundation 🔦 Flashlight — for clarity on the path ahead ⛺ Tent — a place to regroup and recharge 💧 Water — to fuel their momentum 🪢 Rope — support so they never climb alone See someone on the trail? Reply to their backpack and add something they need for the hike. The more people you support, the more support comes back your way. And remember, every time you level up in the community, you unlock new resources, opportunities and exclusive perks. 🎒 Drop your backpack below and let’s see how many of us can make it to the ridge before summer ends! 🏔️🙌
