Right Geeks, this one needs a proper conversation because it affects a lot of us building communities on Skool. Skool has rolled out something called Growth Boost. Some people are happy about it. Some people are not. And to be honest, I can see both sides. You can check it here: Community Settings → Discovery → Growth Boost From what I’m seeing, it’s turned on by default. The simple version is this: Skool can now promote communities through offsite ads, including Facebook and Instagram. So your community could be shown to people outside Skool, which could mean more visibility, more clicks, and more potential members. But here’s the bit everyone needs to understand. If Skool brings a paying customer into your community through Growth Boost, they take a 30% commission. If you bring someone in yourself through your own links, content, DMs, email list, audience, or promotion, that should still just be the normal payment processing fee. So on one side, you could say: 70% of a customer you didn’t pay to acquire is better than 100% of nobody. And that is a fair point. Ads are expensive. Traffic is hard. Most people do not have a huge audience. So if Skool is willing to pay to put communities in front of more people, that could be a big opportunity. But here’s where it gets messy. The big question is attribution. If someone joins because Skool ran an ad and sent them straight to your community, fair enough. But what if someone finds you because you were active in another Skool community? What if they clicked your profile because you commented, helped, networked, or built trust? What if they followed you from Skoolers or another group and joined later? Is that Skool bringing the customer? Or is that you doing the work inside the ecosystem? That’s the part that needs proper clarification. You can turn Growth Boost off, but the concern is that communities with it switched off may get far less discovery and network traffic. So for many people, turning it off might not feel like a real choice.

Let’s start a proper conversation today. Community building is weird, isn’t it? Some weeks feel amazing. You get comments. People show up. Someone joins. You feel like it’s finally starting to move. Then other weeks… Silence. Doubt. Second guessing. Wondering if anyone actually cares. But I’ll say this. I’ve seen so many of you grow in here and honestly, it’s been unbelievable to watch. Clearer communities. Better offers. Stronger posts. More confidence. More conversations. More people actually showing up and building. So today, let’s do what Geeks does best. Show love. Give advice. Share your take. Help someone see the thing they might be missing. Where are you at with your community this week? Are you feeling momentum? Are you stuck? Are you getting engagement but no growth? Growth but no conversations? Or are you just trying to figure out what the next move even is? And if you know somebody who would fit right in inside Geeks… Invite them to the builders party. Because this place is only getting better when the right people are in the room. 👇 What’s your honest take on community building this week?

BUILDING A BUSINESS WILL TEST YOU BEFORE IT REWARDS YOU. It will test your patience when growth feels slow. It will test your confidence when nobody responds. It will test your discipline when the excitement wears off. And it will test your belief when the results do not match the effort you are putting in. This is the part nobody celebrates. The quiet part. The repetitive part. The part where you keep showing up without knowing exactly when it will pay off. But this is where the business is really built. Not when everything is working. When you keep going while you are still figuring it out. Every post teaches you something. Every conversation gives you more clarity. Every mistake sharpens your message. Every slow week exposes what needs improving. You are not behind. You are in the process of becoming better at the thing you said you wanted. Stop judging your business by one quiet day, one bad week or one failed offer. Look at who you are becoming. Are you clearer? More confident? More consistent? Better at understanding your audience? Stronger than you were six months ago? That is growth too. The people who win are rarely the ones who had the perfect plan. They are the ones who stayed long enough to improve it. So keep building. Keep learning. Keep adjusting. Keep showing up. Because the breakthrough usually comes after the point where most people would have quit. 🔥 What part of your business are you refusing to give up on?
