On this weeks episode I interview the infamous @Christopher Bauer, also known as "Chris the Bot Slayer" due to his successful efforts in eliminating bots and spam within Skool communities. In this episode we discuss: - The benefits of the Skool platform (and Goosify) over Facebook for community building - Christopher's advice for new community owners regarding the importance of the "About" page for discovery ranking, and - His three tips for managing communities on Skool, including networking and implementing a tiered system for scaling to paid memberships Join us in this weeks episode, watch to the end, and hear what Christopher has to say about where he thinks the Skool platform is going next and what you can do to prepare. Thanks again for being on the show Chris! We had a blast. Can't wait to talk classic cars with you again in the future! -Siloh

Honestly, I never expected to make this kind of money on Skool, especially starting with a low audience and from complete zero. I didn’t have a big following, fancy setup, or everything figured out. I just started, stayed consistent, learned as I went, and took action. Now I’ve made $760 as an affiliate, and for me, that’s proof you don’t need a huge audience to start winning online. You just need the right offer, consistency, and willingness to keep going. If you’re new on Skool or feel like your audience is too small, don’t underestimate small beginnings. I started there too. This is just the beginning. More to come and I also promise to tag @Joseph Groom on my winning post

Community About page: https://www.skool.com/fairy-tale-photo-academy-1275/about I didn't post on Thursday since most of the work was done in the classroom and not visible in a way to show for it here. Been working on more of that in the days since. These are the things that got done. 1️⃣ Course ported over from my GoHighLevel community 2️⃣ Course broken up into 4 Level courses to be accessible by level access (Basic Photography/Theme Park Specific Photo Lessons/Easy Photo Editing for built in phone apps/Printing as art) 3️⃣ About page description updated Focused on What potential member gets 4️⃣ About page graphics changed with testamonials added. 5️⃣ Icon and Cover Banner changed 6️⃣ Muppets assigned to leaderboard levels 7️⃣ Reworking Start Here in classroom Things still left to do: 1️⃣ Create the Quick Win mini-course 2️⃣ Change out the graphics from the courses to reflect the more fun Muppet vibe 3️⃣ Adjust the lessons for the slight differences between GHL and Skool 4️⃣ Move courses out of draft setting 5️⃣ Rework High Level Benefits/Buy page 6️⃣ Create 30 sec video for About page 7️⃣ Create alt. versions of the Theme Park specific lessons for other vacation types (ex. Cruises) There's more to do, but in any case appreciate the roasting in the initial call. Lots to do with expanding the niche out from just theme park photos. I appreciate you all for your help making my offer better. Just wanted to get the status update in with some time to spare before the next roast call. Thanks @Goose Dunlavey & @Rositsa Aleksandrova
