As soon as I saw 7 day Free Trials were now LIVE, I wanted to know what it looked like from a user's perspective and as a community owner. I went ahead and recorded it for you in case you were also curious! This goes through joining, and cancelling the trial. What I didn't include in the Loom is that they can reactivate their membership even if they immediately cancel upon joining. So if that happens to you, give so much value you make them go reactivate membership!

*so scary*

„You can’t pinn more than 3 posts“ Okey - but I have nothing pinned! 🤔 Has anyone this problem too - I have nothing pinned, but I get this message if I want to pinn something So pinning is not working right now… 👋

Skool offers endless opportunities for building and monetizing a community. You’re only limited by your imagination. Thinking outside the box (or even a bit absurdly) can lead to some of the most innovative and engaging experiences. For example: Jester created by @Joe DeFilippo. (Currently named Fester for Halloween & once was Twerkaholics Anonymous.) It's one of the most chaotic Skool communities out there. Tonight, a new classroom called Kill Switch was launched. It essentially wipes out the community, forcing a new one to be created. I’ve had an ongoing, friendly feud with another member, and we both bought immunity to avoid being kicked from the group. (Yes, you can pay anywhere from $1-6 to either kick or avoid being kicked). So, I decided to buy the Kill Switch to take my rival out. But I underestimated the delay in transferring communities and overlooked the Admin Rights classroom. Little did I know, my rival purchased five minutes of admin power for $99 and kicked me out. Talk about a backfire! 😂 This isn’t the first time I’ve made wild purchases in The Jester. I’ve paid for a handmade painting off Joe’s wall, just to have him leave it at a random store. Or paid him to set his lock screen to a meme I created featuring two other members.. one being the rival. Honestly, you can do anything on Skool. Whether you’re running a serious business or creating a fun, Skool allows you to monetize almost anything you can imagine. Also if you're thinking this is absurd and a waste of time, because you have to be ultra serious when it comes to business and money. Don't underestimate the power of fun & laughter. Some of the biggest Skool leaders are in The Jester. Now... how do I explain this invoice to my accountant? Edit: I thought I should add this list of what is not allowed, if you're taking Skool Payments. https://www.skool.com/legal?t=acceptable-use

(If you are questioning if your Skool group will be a success, this is for you!) I've had a number of new clients join my Skool group this month (who are all new to Skool) and they are literally a JOY to work! They are all taking action, supporting each others and making great progress. I have also been inundated with lovely messages from them all sharing their gratitude, including a really special one today that really touched me. The reason why this one was so special was unbeknown to them as well as being ill (which they knew about) last week had been a deeply emotional one for me as I was navigating some big life stuff behind the scenes. (This was the messaged shared in our "celebrations" area): "I came to celebrate JADE! Thank you Jade for being you. Despite being sick you are managing to keep us moving forward. I'm so grateful and happy with all the progress I've made so far. I'm rearranging my lie to be able to focus more and run with the momentum you are creating. Super grateful this morning 💗" If you are new to building your community on Skool I know in the beginning it can feel like all you to do is work hard and give with not much in return. - You'll have people who join your group who don't appreciate you and all that you do. - You'll have members join who just lurk and never stop to say thank you. - You'll have members who you only give to and support who will not see your true heart but instead will project onto you negative feelings they have about themselves (if you are a Human Design 5th line this a common and I've heard of so many successful creators with the biggest hearts who experience this). AND.... - You'll have people who join your group who are still great assets to your community years on who you ADORE! - You'll have people who go on to become real friends (who you meet in real life too!) who become your business family. - You'll have people who appreciate all that you do and show their gratitude in ways that make you feel so warm and fuzzy inside and remind you of why you do what you do.
