Okay, @Faith Adebayo inspired me again. This is a post for premium tier members. I'll be sending notifications here. If you're on the premium tier or just curious about what this is all about, please click the 🔔 icon in the top right of this post. This is a workaround, so that I can communicate with the members on the premium plan without spamming the members on the free plan 🙏 Because personally I don't like when someone talks about something, sends me a link and then it turns out it's behind a paywall. With the tools I have available, I'll try to minimize those kinds of situations.

Well, this was pretty cool. First I got an "Automod" notification, it took me to a spammy post (which wasn't actually that spammy 😂) I didn't "keep" the post. I looked at my DMs to see if the person even said hello to my welcome post. And then I saw it... Red bar and different country... :D I'm happy that Skool is working on these things 🤗

Hey everyone, Just wanted to share what I've learned from reviewing hundreds of member applications and why some people get rejected (or even banned) from Skool communities. This might help if you're trying to join communities or if you're a community owner trying to figure out who to let in. Here's what I actually look at when someone tries to join: - Profile picture - This is huge. If it looks AI-generated, that's a red flag. If the face is cut off weird or I can't see the face at all, probably not approving you. I need to see a real person because it helps me quickly tell if you're legit or not. - Real name - If I can Google your name and find you on other platforms, you're probably real. Simple as that. - Social media links - If you have your other profiles linked, it shows me you're serious about Skool. Also, click your own links to make sure they work. You'd be surprised how many broken links I find. - Communities you're in - I check if you're in free or paid communities, and I look at your comments to see if you're actually participating or just jumping in to spam and leave. - The Mayor Bridges thing - If you have this set up, that's a green flag. It means you took time to fill out your profile. - Country and email alignment - If your country matches where you're actually joining from and your email matches your name, that helps. What NOT to do: - Don't put "Hi I'm new" in your bio - spammers do this - Don't put your phone number or personal email in your bio - Don't use a company name as your profile name if you want people to engage with you - Make sure your bio is grammatically correct (use ChatGPT if English isn't your first language) Here's the thing, this stuff doesn't just matter for getting approved. It affects how people treat you INSIDE communities too. People engage more with profiles that look like real humans. For community owners - if you're wondering why you're not getting engagement, check your profile first. If you're using some random image or your company name instead of your real name and face, that might be why people aren't connecting with you.
