A stable place inside the community that can be indexed by search engines. - A spot to promote what you cannot share in the feed. A place to promote paid services or opportunities that you cannot promote in the main feed. - A longer-form public-facing sales page. - A page you can send the public to that is not as restrictive as your About page. - A way to share freebies and capture emails. A place to share freebies or lead magnets so people can sample your value before opting into your community, while also allowing you to capture their email address. - Easier discovery by what you do, not your name. CLASSIFIEDS members can find you by the community you offer instead of your name. I use this often when I remember what someone does or helps with but cannot remember their name. 🗓️ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸? Today: I will walk you through how to set up a course, folders, and pages (see video below). Tomorrow: You will have access to a custom GPT created by our own @sondraverva to help you create the main copy for your ad. 🙋 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 Share below: Which of the six reasons is most important to you for creating a classroom ad, and why? 🌟 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗲𝘁? If you are not a premium member yet, what are you waiting for??? It’s only $3/month (price is increasing Sept 1), and the ability to place an ad in the classroom is only one of the many perks! P.S. I'm on vacation right now, and this scheduled post (including the pinning) is powered by my favourite Skool Scheduler, Skooly. Not only can you schedule posts from your phone, but it will also tell you the best time of day for you to post! Thanks, @joe

Our own @Des Dreckett is back again. This time with "Why Some Skool Events Get 3x The Turnout" Here's what he has to say: For ages, I assumed the best way to run a community event was getting members to join first, then watch. Turns out that's backwards, and I've got the data to prove it. I tested this across a few different communities over the past few weeks, and the results genuinely changed how I think about running events. Not a small difference either. We're talking roughly 3x the turnout when you flip the usual order. On Thursday 20th August at 8 pm GMT (3 pm EST / 12 pm PST), I'm presenting live across multiple Skool communities to break down exactly what I found. I'll walk through what the data actually showed, why the "join first" model quietly kills turnout for most community owners, and what I'm doing differently now with my own events and with clients. This isn't theory. It's what's actually working right now, and you'll be able to apply it to your very next event. If you run a community, host webinars, or run any kind of live session and want more people actually showing up, this one's for you. Drop a comment if you're planning to join live. See you next Thursday.

It's time to celebrate each other! In the COMMENTS BELOW, please share a Skool community you think is doing really great things. It can be one you've participated in yourself or one that you've heard from others is amazing. Please do the following: 1. Tell us the name of the community and link to it (affiliates allowed). 2. Tag the person who owns the community. If they are not in the CLASSIFIEDS, then please send them a DM and let them know that you mentioned them here. I promise you will make their day! 3. Describe why the group is so wonderful and how it has helped you. Please DO NOT just copy and paste the About page! 4. Comment on each others comments and scroll through the referrals to see if there's an amazing group you are missing out on! Thanks so much for supporting each other and this community! Please note that any #FriendFriday mentions that are created as new posts will be deleted. Thanks! Please DO NOT promote yourself. 🤨. The entire community is for promoting yourself. This post is for celebrating someone else. 😊

For a really long time now (I'm actually not sure how long) the price of becoming a Premium member has been a measly $3/month - less than a carton of milk, less than a cup of coffee, less than a pack of gum... But the times they are a-changing, inflation is taking its toll, and it has come time for the price to go up. 😊 Note that the price you lock in now is for life! In all honesty, though, the real reason for the price increase is Growth Boost. This top 1% community gets almost no ad time as far as I can tell, and they only reason I can think of is that the price is too cheap for Skool to make its ad spend back. What that means is that tons of Skoolers who could be benefiting from this community simply don't know about it. I have said again and again that I don't think it's wise to make business decisions based on Growth Boost, but I also just think increasing the price is a wise business decision as well. It is time. There are so many benefits to becoming a Premium member, that I really hope more of you take advantage of it. For all the details, check out this post. So, what will the new price be? Are you ready for it? You might want to sit down. As of September 1, the cost of becoming a Premium member will be $5/month. 😱 So, if you've been sitting on this and hemming and hawing, now is the time! Oh and tell your friends. Friends don't let friends Skool alone! 😉
