If anyone would like a poem written to help promote your community. Hit me up @Jason Strickland

They told us to post, to grind, to scroll, To build alone and play the role. But humans aren’t wired to stand apart, We grow through voices, not just heart. That’s why Skool feels different, true, It’s not a feed, it’s a community with you. A place to talk, a place to learn, Where names are known and trust is earned. You don’t shout loud to try and be seen, You speak and someone leans in. Ideas grow when shared in full, That’s how communities are built on Skool. Creators teach. Learners rise. Real conversations, not just replies. You don’t pass through, you don’t just scroll. You show up as you, you play a role. No algorithms pulling the strings, No empty likes or hollow things. Just people gathering, side by side, Building something they’re proud to guide. So if you’re tired of building alone, Of posting words that feel overthrown. Come find your people, come find your rule. Community lives here. And it lives on Skool. By Jason Strickland The Art of Poetry Community

I’m honestly blown away by how fast this community is growing. What’s funny is I don’t even really care about the growth anymore. What I care about most is the connection inside the community. The conversations, the support, the friendships forming. That said, the growth clearly isn’t slowing down, and that tells me something important. The best part is that the community is actually alive right now. That means the people joining today are walking into a fun, engaged, welcoming space, way different than what it looked like at the very beginning. This group is less than three months old and we’re already at 350 members. To put it in perspective November, 115 new members December, 141 new members January, 101 new members so far and we’re only 15 days in I’m excited about the numbers, but I’m way more excited about seeing my vision come to life. Watching real connections form and seeing people actually show up for each other has been the most rewarding part. I’ve been trying to build this community for the past two years. It started as a meditation group on Facebook, then evolved into an inner work space hosted on Slack. I wasn’t fully happy with how that felt, so I made a decision to change directions. At the end of October 2025, I joined Skool and started the Stress Free Sobriety community with just five people who came over from my previous private group. That evolution tells me I’m on the right track 🙌 I’m sharing this here simply as a win. Not to brag, not to compare, just to celebrate a milestone that means a lot to me. Building community is not easy, and this one feels really special. Grateful for the journey and excited for what’s unfolding. 💙🙏✨

Ok so I changed up my about page cover photo and group icon again. I really like this, but want to get feedback from the group. I should also add that my theme for the community is like a music / rock and roll theme. Please let me know your thoughts below👇

I have a question when is a good time to start charging a monthly subscription fee. I have 107 members I got in 29 days and 102 are actively engaging. I'm not making any money and I don't want to lose momentum. I'm offering paid courses and other services yet still nothing.
