If you're a Skool group owner who sends traffic to your Skool about page and/or you want more members to find your group, this new program could be really important to know about. On Tuesday, Skool announced this new program: the Growth Boost. Video 1 shared at the bottom of this post explains it in more detail, but here's the summary along with some helpful resources. ⬇️ ➡️ THE FULL SCOOP ABOUT GROWTH BOOST: - Skool is now sending paid ad traffic to Skool groups, both directly to groups and to the Discovery. - If Skool gets you paid members from the Skool Network, you will pay a 30% commission much like paying an affiliate. If it's a one-time payment, you will pay once. (for classroom and/or membership purchases) If it's a recurring membership, it will be recurring. - If they don't get you paid members, you will not pay anything for the ads running to your Skool. - Attribution is on a group-by-group basis, so if you own multiple groups, the source can be different for the same member in different groups. - This is likely to massively increase the number of Skool users over time because they're diverting ad spend from getting new Skool group owners, to getting new members for existing Skool groups. - As it is currently designed, the Skool network includes visitors who find you from the Discovery, from Skool ads, from the recommended groups side bar in Hobby groups, and from visiting your profile. - More info about traffic sources here >> https://help.skool.com/article/226-traffic-sources - 💖 Full Disclosure: I personally was initially less than thrilled that profile visits are included in this mix because these are typically the result of making connections in Skool. I believe the Skool Network OVERALL will grow so much, however, that this will only be for everyone's benefit and that there would be more friends to connect with on Skool. I believe that the math works out here overall. ➡️ WHEN YOU WILL *NOT* BE CHARGED FOR GROWTH BOOST MEMBERS:

When you're online and have 10+ engagements for 30 days in a row, you get a FLAME by your name. I have it right now. But in 24 hours, it will be gone. I'm going offline on purpose. It's simply because I'm not here for emojis. I'm here for - friends - community - business - growth And so much good!! But not for emojis. I'm making just this ONE post, though, so that my profile has a lovely light green for today, rather than gray! One of the BIGGEST struggles with the emoji dance is that it literally becomes a part of your identity. I don't want that. So that's why I feel that I need to do this. But also... I love the idea of better boundaries! And so it is!

First of all, this post isn't even really ABOUT Joe. It's about - WHY everyone's talking about Joe - WHY this matters to the rest of us And I'm totally going to answer these questions for you. So here goes...! BTW. Joe being Joe DeFilippo, maker of Skooly. ➡️ #1: WHY IS EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT JOE? - Joe listened to what people were looking for, and he solved the problems by making those things exist with his fancy pants programming skills (examples: native-like audio shares in Skool, bookmark posts within Skool, easily make your own GIFs so others can share them in Skool, and actually a bunch of other stuff) - He made the price insanely affordable (like, I cannot believe the price is going "UP" to $9 because really this COULD cost way more!!) - He also just keeps on making things better (example! I asked for the voice transcription to be available in Hungarian and Portuguese, and WITHIN 24 HOURS he added those languages!) - SO. About the growth and "talking about Joe" side, a few days ago, I made the first of several posts in my group about this to spread the word. Already more than 10 friends from my group signed up right away, AND some other friends piped up to say "yes yes yes! it's great!" Joe made a point to thank friends for spreading the word. - Joe's not making a huge thing of the affiliate stuff. But we all know that the price will go from $5 to $9 next week, and it feels like a nice time to get friends in there quick! - WHEN SOMETHING IS REALLY GOOD, and people WANT AND NEED THAT THING, it's easy to spread the word! So it's been more than a little crazy to notice that now in the last couple days, there seem to be posts about this everywhere! And I'm not sure, but I think he's gotten something like 40-50 new members in the span of a few days! ➡️ #2: WHY THIS MATTERS TO THE REST OF US! - Make the thing people want. - Offer it at a fair price. - Keep making it better and LISTEN to feedback. - Thank the friends who are spreading the word! - You don't even have to make a big thing about your affiliate program. When you have a great thing, YOUR PEOPLE WILL SHARE!

I haven't posted here since the day of the Skool Games. Instead of the Skool News, this week we got the Skool Games Mastermind. I'll just tell you right now, it was REALLY COOL. (The Skool Games AND the Mastermind.) I didn't think I could love Skool any more. But here's what happens... Every time I think I've hit the limit for how much I love Skool: - Another episode of the Skool News comes out - A new feature is released - I meet more nice real humans on here - I go and then MEET the Skool team and see that they are literally exactly as expected IRL: they really freaking care. SO that last thing... GAH... you guys... the Skool team is full of a bunch of Care Bears who are as obsessed with Skool as I am (I would say "even more obsessed than I am", but honestly I just think Skool is the most amazing software that ever existed, especially for creating community). THIS LOVELY VIDEO is from the mastermind with Sam Ovens (CEO of Skool) and Alex Hormozi (Skool investor, amongst other bits of course)... If you click on or go to about 1 hour and 45 minutes in, I got to ask a question AND profess my love for Skool. What a sweet life moment! BUT I recommend watching the whole video...! This was a pretty cool room to be in, to say the least! There's a lot to learn... it's amazing that they share the recording!
