Good communities highlight their members. It's all about the members. That's YOU! We want YOU to share how you're using Skool so others can get ideas and learn. We'll give spot prizes (like Skool merch) to members who share something cool. If you share something people find useful — we'll promote you to our 800k email list, 134k YouTube subs, and put you on our website that gets millions of monthly visits. We created a new category called "How I'm using Skool". Check it out! If you want to share how you're using Skool, create a post in that category with a good title, a short description, and a quick (less than 5m) Loom video sharing your setup/use-case. Help us help you!

Here's the recording from yesterday's call. We covered new features, the Skool merch store, some big things on our roadmap, and Q&A to finish it off. The call was pumping! Here's a summary: New features: - Members tab + filters - Bulk actions: Give/remove access, remove members, export CSV. - Auto DM new members - Filter chats by unread Our roadmap: - Native payments (charge subscriptions or 1-time for courses) - Native mobile apps (iOS and Android) - Native video (host videos in Skool) - Improving the features we have Thanks everybody for attending. It's a pleasure building this platform for you ❤️. Back to work!

We just shipped some new gamification features to make things more fun! • Custom level names: Personalize your group by naming your levels. • Unlock courses at levels: Unlock a course or something of value when members hit a high level. • Leaderboard redesign: Now you can see your progress and what you can unlock as you level up. Watch the Loom video below for more info on how it works and how to set it up for yourself. This is an experimental feature we're playing with, so we want to hear your feedback! Try it out for yourself and let us know what you think?

All my videos are privately hosted. I can grab embed code and input in the school for video. Please help with this feature.

Anyone here running paid ads to grow their group?

Has anyone else taken the https://www.wealthdynamics.com test? I had a mentor refer it recently and it helped me realize how to structure my business / community / skool group so I wouldn't get burned out. (Instead of just blindly following someone who may not be the same dynamic as me) Im not an affiliate. Just wanted to share. Also you can use a coupon code this week to get 70% OFF I heard. Would love to hear what you get! (I'll share my results below)

As per me, the discussion section/comments under classroom videos were super important to gain feedback and get a response on a CTA set on a given module and a task given to students. This is super helpful to engage the students and the community and provide them with social proof of how various modules work. We had an option earlier to choose whether to switch the discussion on/off. What are we going to do about it? Any plan?

Can we have basic editor with better formatting for the posts. It adds to the beauty of presentation. Thx

Posts - Images are not conspicuos once published. Look at FB it displays prominently. Can this be improved?

@Andrew Kirby and @Ted Carr have been hanging out at Skool HQ. Lots of exciting stuff is coming your way! And... Did you know Ted is a "fruitarian"? He only eats fruit. He has boxes of it at our office...

With discussions being gone I'm really missing being able to find all posts that refer to some specific video, like if I #Creating a group. Would be great if you could click the # link and see all posts that have it mentioned and ideally it would be visible below that lesson too. What I'm suggesting is not bringing Discussions back (however, I would love that) but just being able to view all the posts that refer to a lesson. This link between Classroom and Community is really what made Skool stand out for me and I hope this will be more integrated in the future again.

I don't remember changing any settings but somehow I can't see discussions for any of my course modules... I thought for sure it was right here. 🤔

We're working on subscription billing, and we need a few creators for the private beta. Interested? Give me a money GIF in the comments below if you want subscription billing.

I'm building my business from scratch and curious if anyone is building a free skool group ith intentions to transition it.. Looking to create like a brainstorm session of possibilities to leverage this.

It would be great if there were tabs for specific (selected) conversation threads that would pop up under the community tab when it's selected. This could be preselected filters or just pinned conversations. I think this would make it much easier to navigate various conversations.

can @[community] be implement as a feature for all?

I want to upload a Youtube-Link to the Classroom, but it is not happening... Always: invalid! Funny thing: In the feed: no problem Pls Help!

Hey guys, is it possible to add all new joiners to a course in classroom?

I tried linking a video by pasting a video Dropbox link but doesn't work. Is there another way? It will be pretty easy and affordable if we can stream Dropbox videos.

Just a quick thought here team, I LOVE what you are doing with Skool. A bit of context for what I'd love to see on the roadmap: I run a paid group/community focused around building MRR consisting of two tiers - Growth Hub & Inner Circle people. Both get the same resources but the Inner Circle get access to more calls, me 1 on 1 etc. My question is whether it would be possible at some point t have a group chat with the whole community, or some kind of announcements via chat function, and second to that group chats with specific people. For my scenario I'd have a group wide group for everyone and an Inner Circle group for those people specifically. Currently we do the latter on FB but I'd love ot have it all in one place. Big love!

@Andrew Kirby stopped by Skool HQ the other day to hang out. We talked about Skool for 6 hours. He's doing some interesting things with his free group "Synthesizer School". He basically funnels his audience (social, email list, etc.) to his free group + mini-course. He builds a relationship with his audience in the group, and occasionally promotes his paid course. It works! The funnel: Audience → to Community → to Customers. Anyway... I got Kirby to create a "Free Group Funnel" mini-course sharing his process. If you have any questions, comment below, and I'm sure Kirby will help. Enjoy!

I have been an active member forums and groups since 2008. I was part of warrior forum, black hat world and digital point forums. I did enjoy vBulletin and their features but somewhere along the line they lost the way. I have tried SMF (simple machine forums) and also tried phpBB. If you have been around the internet for a while, you know what I am talking about. After a few years, I ran an active Facebook Group with 200k members, but it was Facebook groups. So as FB died, the groups also died. The world moved on to 1-to-many media instead of forums and community engagement. Reddit is tripping on something else. It's a Facebook in itself. Discord, meh... something's off there. Circle? Something doesn't feel right there. HeartBeat? No way. Nothing comes close to skool. For the past 3 years, I have been searching for a solid community software and here it is. Skool is the next big thing in community platforms. The simplicity of it, intuitive UI, attention to detail and fast loading speed makes it the go to choice for community platforms. I joined Consulting Accelerator, then UpLevel, then Quantuam. And I couldn't be more happy with Sam's next product. And here I feel there is a real opportunity for me to make money. I just need to get 100 members paying $99 a month and I could relax with $4000 a month in affiliate commissions. As I migrate my FB group to my skool group. Something I absolutely damn love about Skool: - Users upload a pic because when they sign up Skool promptly asks them to. - Users enter a description because it is a must - Leaderboards are great, members will have a sense of satisfaction for being active. - Classroom - perfect. Just embed youtube videos and you have a solid teachable alternative. - Calendar - very much needed because we do multiple zoom calls every week to engage with the audience and students. - The ability to import people and send them invites... absolutely love it. I am going to invite my email list stage by stage.

Hi guys here is a video of me testing a third party solution for membership, running a Zapier connection to trigger the invite. Comes with a bunch of others features including the ability to take payment. Some of which Skool are developing. Like the post if it was helpful, comment below to discuss. If you want to use Outseta feel free to use my affiliate link or not, it pretty cheap at only $33 a month with 1000 contacts - https://bit.ly/3AkIWwu

Can some one throw light on this? Can we have gamified marketing like Uber/Dropbox, where a community can grow by referral and incentivised marketing? What if this is a feature and people like me and you grow your communities similarly? Discuss for or against this idea please and comment below @Sam Ovens @Sid Sahasrabuddhe

It would be powerful if we could train a GPT like AI on our Classroom content. Have the AI watch for the posts made in our Community and comment on them with quality answers. Have it link to the Classroom lesson where it's pulling it's answer or answers so the clients can investigate further. Allow users to thumbs up / thumbs down the AI comments for further reinforcement learning. Think Github Copilot, ChatGPT, Notion AI, Jasper, etc.

Skool only lets me search for names of people... can we get some +1 votes happening here if you want this 'search for a keyword within the DM's' feature? FB Messenger allows us to search for words used in convo's and it makes it SO easy to find the convos we're looking for.

It would be great to be able to create a landing page on our personal skool links so people could know more about our group. Even if we could upload a video in that area.

Same post - Same Day - Very Different Results Facebook - 2,900 Members Skool - 800 Members 21 Hands Raised on Facebook (Less than 1%) VS 81 Hands Raised on Skool (about 10%) Skool Community for the Win

I want to know.

Happy to have found Skool! Looking forward to progressing and creating on this site
