How to not make low-quality comments/posts

Here is an interesting article from @andrewkirby on the skool games about quality posting and we are going to start to implement them in our groups. Please read and learn and I look forward to quality posts.

"Here are the 4 types of comments/posts we don't think are very valuable for the group:

Opinion Posts

This is when someone (often with no credibility) decides to share their opinion, even though no one asked for their opinion.

Examples could include "3 Tips For Sleeping Better", "Why You NEED To Decrease Your Price", or "Cold Outreach SUCKS, Here's Why".

Instead, do something, then share what worked or what didn't work. We love those posts. No one cares about your opinion. Just state the facts and tell the truth.

2. Self-Promotion

The internet is big. There are many places you can promote your group, and The Skool Games is not one of them.

If we allow self-promotion, everyone will end up pitching each other, and the group will suck.

Do NOT use The Skool Games to promote your group.

3. Help Me Posts

This is where you ask for specific advice on a specific thing you're struggling with.

There is 16,000 people inside of The Skool Games. Making a 'Help Me' post is like standing in front of a football stadium with a speaker and shouting 'HELP'. Not cool.

Instead, ask a broad question that anyone can answer. For example instead of saying "Help me I'm struggling to get people to respond to my cold outreach", say "What is your favourite opener for cold outreach". This will get much more engagement, AND will get you better responses than a Help Me Post

The key is to post for the group, not just for you.

4. Engagement Just For Engagement's Sake

Do not make comments or posts JUST to make comments or posts.

I know you want to climb the leaderboard, but if people associate your name with low quality comments and posts that won't be good for your brand long-term.

Don't butt your head into every conversation. Comment or post when you actually have something to say.

Here are the types of posts we DO like :

Questions

If you have a broad question about how people are doing things, ask away. Example.

2. Here's What I Did

We love it when you do something, then share what worked/didn't work.

3. Wins

If you feel proud of something you've done, share it! Even if it's small, we love to see it (you may even get pinned).

4. Memes/Banter/Funny stuff

It's not all serious! Particularly funny things or light-hearted convo can take place in the "Banter" category

I will continue to refine and update these guidelines as it becomes more clear what improves/decreases the quality of the group. If you need more clarity of have feedback let me know.

And PLEASE use the "Report" feature. If you click the 3 dots in the top right of any post/comment, you can click "Report To Admins" and we will delete low quality posts/comments. Thank you!

Let's make The Skool Games the highest-quality business community on earth."
