It's not even 8 am here on Thursday in Brisbane Australia and I'm already on 200+ Activities for this morning! (Yes I'm in the future) lol. I'm logging off, taking a break, editing some podcast interviews, doing some outreach, and then I'll be back. TODAY (lol) I'm getting my addiction back! Someone did over 2,000 activities in ONE DAY one time I think, I cant remember who it was. How much do you engage in school daily?

Recently had a great chat with @Lex Christopherson and I saw he did some cool things with skool. I was like "wait hold up, what did you just do" And so I found out about Arc Browser. It's free, so simple to set up. You can migrate your previous browser to it AND It makes using skool just that little bit better! Here’s a link to download Arc, the browser I was telling you about! THIS IS NOT AN AFFILIATE LINK I DO NOT GAIN ANYTHING FROM THIS: https://arc.net/gift/4aa7b4a1 Check out how I'm using skool with it, I think you will like I mean LOVE IT 🥰

@Ryan Schrope is one of the most "contrarian thinkers" you'll ever meet. He hated pump and dumps (before it was cool) and has been a huge advocate for growing slowly and running a community "the right way." In this episode, I caught up with him to find out: - What it's like living in a truck with his wife @Haley Schrope - How "The Watering-Hole Method" helped him win without an audience - And why "patient underdogs" beat everyone in the long run Check it out.

I’d love to suggest two features that could significantly benefit both creators and influencers promoting our communities. 🤝✨ 1. Single-use DISCOUNT CODES 🎁: This feature could be incredibly useful for running giveaways or promotions, such as offering codes to followers on Instagram. 2. Automatic REFERRAL LINKS for Influencers 🌐: This would allow influencers to easily promote Skool communities using personalized referral links, and automatically earn a commission or percentage for every person who joins using their link. These features would help create more growth opportunities for communities on Skool and make the platform even more attractive to content creators. I hope you’ll consider these suggestions! I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts! 💬

I recently overhauled how I onboard new members to my Skool communities, and the results have been game-changing. For a long time, I followed the standard process of creating a welcome post that directed people to a classroom with a series of steps they had to complete before engaging. I also used the auto-DM to make sure members knew to get their asses over to the classroom. This approach created unnecessary barriers, and as a result, most people didn’t even make it through the first steps. For some reason, I and many others thought this was just how it had to be done. After hearing @Calvin Hollywood talk on @Matthew Thompsons podcast about how auto DMs should start conversations rather than give instructions, I decided to rethink the entire process. Here’s what I did instead: 1. Completely scrapped the classroom – No more arbitrary steps or confusion 2. Created a simple welcome post where people can introduce themselves right on the timeline. 3. Sent open question DMs to start real conversations instead of giving directions. The impact has been incredible: • 80% of people now respond to my DMs. • HUNDREDS have engaged with the welcome post. • Engagement feels natural and inclusive because people are participating directly in the community rather than being siloed into a classroom. I launched my new community just over a week ago and it's become #5 most popular in the Music category on Skool. It’s clear that this shift - making the onboarding experience seamless and engaging - has been a major driver of that success. A huge shoutout to Calvin Hollywood for the inspiration. If you’re still using a classroom for onboarding, I’d seriously recommend rethinking it. Focus on creating connection and momentum right from the start, and you’ll see a radical difference in how your community comes alive. What’s working for your onboarding process? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
