Hello lovely Cottage Creatives! It's nearly the end of the day for me and the start for many of you. Life is like a rollercoaster for me - one week is calm and creative, and the next can be crazy and chaotic! On the second not much creating can happen and that's ok. I do try to invest time in learning something her on skool from the likes of @Sharon Jones who is a wealth of wisdom when it comes to skool business and I've been sneaking into @Diana Berryman's classroom too, she's just added some content which is worth checking out, and I've also been over to @Deb Boutzetis community and learnt how to make a yummy sauce! (it's a secret!). However, as far as actually creating myself, it's been a no-go zone! So, to help me thru this Crazy Chaos week, I'd love to know what you are creating or focusing on! Oh, I did dig up some little potatoes!

@Kathy Roberts shared this in the skool community a couple of days ago! Keen to know if you saw it? Well worth a read. Kathy has a Community called The Tidy Tutor! Skoolers 99+ Kathy Roberts 🔥 14h (edited) • 💬 Discussion Figured Out How Level Unlocks Work I asked Chat how to best ask this question… and instead of helping me with the wording, it gave me the full how-to, which was even better Here’s the question I had and the response given, in case it helps someone else too: QUESTION: “I love when a community leader unlocks a little surprise, a piece of content, help, or a special message at certain levels. How can I create the same thing for my members?” (*Edit: Shout out to @William Carter who inspired this, this morning when I got a guided morning meditation when unlocking a level) RESPONSE: Level-unlock bonuses on Skool are created inside your Levels settings. Here’s how to do it: 1. Go to your Skool group and click Levels. 2. Pick which level you want to unlock something (like Level 3, Level 5, etc.). 3. Add a Reward to that level. You can choose from:• Access to a course• Access to a private space• A link or downloadable file 4. Upload your bonus (like a meditation, mini class, pep talk, checklist, etc.). 5. Skool takes care of the “surprise” moment — when someone hits that level, it unlocks automatically. Thought I’d share in case anyone else was trying to figure this out too!
