The Online Community Show Episode 2 Is Out Now! 🎙️ In this episode, we sit down with @Matthew Burns, community builder and creator of ProveWorth, to talk about one of the biggest challenges on the internet today. Trust. As AI generated content, fake testimonials, and endless marketing claims flood the internet, it is getting harder for people to know what is actually real. That is where honest reviews and real communities start to matter more than ever. In this conversation, Matt shares his journey building communities, working with monday.com, discovering Skool early, and why he believes independent reviews will become one of the most important trust signals for communities going forward. Here are a few of the things we get into: • Why trust is becoming one of the biggest problems on the internet • Why testimonials alone are not enough anymore • How third party reviews can help communities build credibility • Why many community builders are sitting on powerful proof they are not using • The role honest feedback plays in retention, engagement, and growth • How systems help community builders scale what is working • Why launching before things are perfect often leads to better results One of the most interesting ideas from this episode is that communities are not just places to learn anymore. They are places where trust is built. People join communities because they want real connection, real feedback, and real results. But for someone on the outside looking in, it can still be difficult to know which communities are actually delivering value. That is where reviews and proof begin to play a much bigger role. Matt also shares how ProveWorth was created to help solve this problem by giving communities a place where their reputation can live outside their own platform. In other words, a place where people can see real experiences from real members before they decide to join.

About a week ago, Mark Novikov released a video to help people who are building a Skool community get clear on something that sounds simple but is actually one of the most important parts of the whole process. Your one sentence offer. I wanted to share the video here because even if you watched it, a lot of times we move on without actually doing the exercise. We consume the information and then jump to the next thing. Remember that knowledge without implementation is just entertainment. This is one of those moments where it is worth actually pausing the video and doing the work. When you force yourself to put your community into one clear sentence, it changes how you think about everything you are building. It sharpens the promise. It makes your message clearer. It makes it easier for someone landing on your about page to instantly understand what the community is about. That clarity ends up impacting not only your About page, but also your posts, your classroom content, and even how you talk about your community when someone asks what you do. If people clearly know and understand, then they can make a decision like joining your community. So if you already watched the video, take a minute and actually do the exercise. If you haven't yet, then watch it, subscribe to Mark on Youtube because he puts out helpful Skool videos, and then do the exercise! Once you're done, write the one sentence that explains what your community helps people do below! 👇 Do you have your one sentence yet?

This community helps you understand what Skool is, how the platform works, and stay up to date with platform changes that affect how people use it. Sometimes I will highlight Skool communities that are worth checking out. These are shared as real examples of how people are using the platform and what different types of communities can look like in practice. So What is Skool? Skool is a community platform where people can discover or create communities. People use Skool to run communities that include content, discussions, events, and memberships in one place. Inside the Classroom, you will find three main resources: Skool Basics This walks through what Skool is, what Skoolers is, and how the Skool Games work. Skool Build Template This is a practical starter kit you get free access to just by joining the community. The build template includes a checklist, a questionnaire to help you think through your idea, and Canva templates you can use to set things up visually. Skool Clarity Call Feedback Real responses from community members about their ideas and the clarity they gained from clarity calls. This is something I recommend community owners do for their own members when starting out, no matter what their community is about. You can see what others have to say by joining the community for free. What will the content in here look like? You will see: - Resources and templates you can use. - Our latest Skool videos and podcast episodes. - Highlighted communities that are worth checking out. - Posts about new Skool features and platform changes. - Breakdowns of how different Skool communities are structured and what is working.
