Hello everyone! I have a few questions about launching my first Skool community. 🚀 I believe I’m overthinking it to some degree (lol 😂), but I want to get your insights on a few things: 1️⃣ When do you go from free to a “freemium” model? ➡️What is the best timeline or member count to make that switch? 2️⃣ Should you have rewards and incentives for all levels preset at the beginning? ➡️Do you map out the leaderboard prizes for levels 1-9 on day one, or build them as you go? 3️⃣ Do you need legal disclaimers or formal policies in place that require an attorney? ➡️For example: “This group does not provide medical advice” or “This group doesn’t guarantee XYZ results.” How are you guys handling liability? A bit of context: I don’t have an active email list or an email funnel built yet, so I need to set that up too. Would love to hear how you handled these steps when you first launched. Any advice is appreciated! 💛

Yaaay!! Got the happy notification that I just reached Level 6!! 💖

📈 A few people have asked how I've been growing my community organically, so I thought I'd share what's worked for me. The truth? It's not one big strategy. It's a bunch of small, intentional things that work together over time. Here's what I do... 🤝 I participate in summits, bundles, podcasts, and collaborations where I know my ideal audience is already hanging out. 📧 Every freebie, product, and offer I create includes an invitation to join my free community—usually on the thank you page, in the welcome email, or inside the resource itself. 🎤 Whenever I speak at a summit, I invite people to join my community if they'd like more support after the event. It's free, it's helpful, and it's a natural next step. 💜 My community has also become the natural "next step" during and after my events. For my last summit, the community was featured as a sponsor, so attendees saw it throughout the event and always knew where they could continue the conversation afterward. 📱 I regularly share my community with my email list and on Facebook (my social platform of choice). 🌟 I spend time in a handful of communities where I genuinely believe my people are hanging out. Not dozens... just a few. And here's the thing... Finding the right communities takes time. It's trial and error. Some are a great fit. Some aren't. Sometimes life gets busy and I disappear for a few weeks... and that's okay too. I simply come back when I have more time. For me, community growth has never been about one viral post. It's been about consistently showing up, building relationships, and making it easy for people to stay connected after they discover me. 💬 I'd love to know... What's one thing you've done that's helped grow your community organically?

This was probably the most important announcement on Skoolers today!! Skool said communities with external links in their About Page will begin being penalized in Discovery. That includes things like: - Calendly - Linktree - Websites - Google Docs - Other communities Their data shows those links reduce conversion because people leave instead of joining. If you're relying on Discovery or Growth Boost, this is worth fixing today.

I discovered a prompt in a group on one of the other platforms...but IT REALLY NEEDED THAT SKOOL TOUCH.. LOL. This one was fun.. I have found my business home at SKOOL. #skoolingforlife I received a few requests for the prompt, but I have to give credit I got this one from Teresa Coleman of aidigital_impact I tweaked the original prompt to lead with Skool, my handle, and the platforms I use. Have fun I would love to see what you do with it. Create a premium 3D social media icon collection featuring the SAME elegant Black woman across every icon tile. STYLE: Ultra-realistic 3D render.
