Any other Skool community owners seeing an increase in spam, bots, and poachers in their community?? Idk if it’s because of Skool promoting communities now or if we just hit a certain number here, but holy moly it’s been wild! I’ve had to dedicate a whole bunch more time/energy lately (waaaay more than I want) to screening out spammers and poachers. Automod isn’t catching them. If you see anything weird, please flag it for me.

A student said something to me yesterday that I hear ALL the time. She's building her Skool community and she's excited — but she's stuck on this one thought: "𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲?" Here's the thing — people aren't buying your thing for the info. Not really. Google exists. YouTube exists. Reddit exists. Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini. And yet people still invest in memberships, courses, and coaching every. Single. Day. Because what they're actually paying for has nothing to do with information. They're paying for 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 — someone already sorted through the noise and handed them exactly what they need, in the right order, at the right time. They're paying for 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 — because knowing someone else is watching makes you actually do the thing. They're paying for 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 — being around other people on the same path changes what feels possible. They're paying for 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 — knowing what to do and doing it with help are two entirely different experiences. They're paying for 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱 — figuring it out alone takes three times as long. They're paying for 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 — having someone tell you yes, you're on the right track is way more valuable than most people admit. The free internet gives you ingredients. Your community gives them the kitchen, the recipe, someone to cook alongside, and an experienced guide who's made this dish a hundred times. That's not just information. That's transformation!! So if you've been sitting on your offer idea because you're worried nobody will pay — this is your sign to stop letting that thought run the show. 👇 Drop a 🙋 below if this has been living in YOUR head too.
