If you’re building a course, community, membership, or AI hub on Skool right now… these updates are actually a REALLY big deal. 👀 A lot of creators are still treating Skool like “just a community platform.” But the reality? Skool is quietly becoming a discovery engine. Here’s what changed 👇🏽 ✨ 1. Keywords Are NOW ACTIVE Remember those 11 keywords inside your community settings? Yeah… they matter now. If you already optimized yours a few weeks ago like I mentioned before — you’re ahead. If not… go update them ASAP because this directly impacts discoverability now. Think strategically: ✔️ your niche ✔️ your transformation ✔️ what your ideal member is literally searching for Examples: - AI tools - Lovable - vibe coding - faceless content - business systems - creator monetization - digital products - Skool growth 👀 2. Search Is WAY More Powerful Now This part is HUGE. People can now find your community through: ✔️ your name ✔️ your community name ✔️ your About page ✔️ your group description ✔️ your keywords Meaning your words now matter WAY more than before. And considering that reportedly over 70% of Skool network traffic already came from search BEFORE this update… this could massively increase organic discovery for communities that position themselves correctly. Translation: SEO-style thinking inside Skool is becoming a competitive advantage. 🔥 🚀 3. Discovery Page Got a Major Upgrade The Discovery tab feels MUCH more dynamic now. Instead of only seeing giant established communities first… you’re now seeing: ✨ Trending communities ✨ Free communities ✨ Free trial communities ✨ Public communities ✨ Filtered discovery options This creates WAY more opportunity for smaller creators and emerging communities to get visibility. Especially if: ✔️ your engagement is active ✔️ your positioning is clear ✔️ your content is searchable ✔️ your community has momentum Honestly… this is one of the biggest shifts I’ve seen for creator discoverability on Skool so far.

I’ve spent years in: - media buying - ad operations - PPC forecasting - conversion optimization - workflow analysis - diagnosing business bottlenecks And I think I finally realized something important: Most businesses don’t actually have an “AI problem.” They have: - discoverability problems - operational inefficiencies - communication bottlenecks - reporting chaos - growth infrastructure gaps AI just exposes them faster. That realization completely changed how I think about building. Instead of focusing on: “How do we make another AI tool?” I’m more interested in: - What operational pain exists? - What workflow is wasting time? - What process is leaking money? - What inefficiency is being normalized? - What system should exist but doesn’t? That’s the thinking behind what I’m building now: GrowthIQ — an AI operational intelligence and growth infrastructure platform. The goal isn’t just to help people “build apps.” The goal is to help: - founders - operators - marketers - creators - growth teams identify what’s actually worth building, optimizing, automating, and scaling. Because building is easier now. Growth still requires strategy. If you’re interested in testing it out or know someone who should, here’s the link to test the beta version. -🫶🏽Whit

Hey YAM Fam - Hope you're having an awesome week so far, I’ve been thinking about how I want YAMS to feel in this next season. I don’t want this to just be a place where resources sit in the classroom. I want this to feel more like a space where we share ideas, test tools, talk about what’s working, vote on what we want next, and actually use AI to build things easier. So...I'm happy to announce that there will more post here in the community feed: Some days it might be a prompt drop. Some days it might be a cool interview or video I watched and what I pulled from it. Some days it might be a poll because I genuinely want your input. Some days it might be a classroom spotlight so you know exactly where to find new tools. and Premium/VIP members will start seeing more private drops, early access resources, and behind-the-scenes build sessions. I really want YAMS to feel like it belongs to all of us — not just me dropping content. So here’s my first question: What would you like to see more of inside YAMS?
