[ROAST MY LESSON] Information is everywhere. If there is one thing I learned since joining Skool is that information is useless if you don't apply it. Watching a video, reading an article, taking a course that teaches me something I won't apply does more damage than good. It spreads my focus, waste energy and make me anxious because I'm just putting one more thing on the list of missed opportunities. Now if instead of that I create something new and share it, like I'm doing right now. I'm creating an asset. This text was an inspiration I got from talking to @Mattias From . And it will be an asset for this community and future video content. Not just a reflection that will be thown in the wind. How often do you do that? Are you overconsuming and not applying things? Or did Skool already change the way you use the internet?

[ROAST MY LESSON] Automations on Skool are pretty limited and a lot of times frustrating. API is something that developers use to provide automation solutions by allowing an app to talk to other apps/codes. Solutions like Zapier, Make and N8N are basically a way to simplify all of that with no code needed. The problem is that Skool does not have a public API. It is also not featured at N8N. Meaning you're limited to automations on Zapier and Make, that are only avaiable for pro communities. Of course automation wizards can go around that, but the alternative solutions are usually complicated and against Skool's terms and services. The Skool integration with Make is basically useless. The only possible action is to Invite a New Member, So we are left with Zapier. Here is what you can do with it: --> Triggers: the starting point of an automation - Membership questions: take the answers of the membership questions and use them to store somewhere or peform an action. The problem: it would be great if it didn't also work for rejected members. So you can't use that for email automations or automatic messages, as they would also include people you don't want inside your community. So it's only decent use case is market research. - New PAID member: that's right, the triger only works for members who paid. If your community is free, you can't use that. And another stupid limitation: the trigger also don't work if a member joined at a free trial! What a joke. ---> Actions: stuff you can do after the automation already started - Invite member: invite a member to a specific classroom course - Unlock course for member: the name says it all That's it. Shitty triggers with anoying and unecessary restrictions and patetically limited actions. No way to automate messages, posts, calendar events, add auto moderation. No way to get info for stuff beyond member's answers. And no open API to get around those limitations in an ethical way. THE SOLUTION: Panda is the best Skool addon at the moment. It still does not solve the mailmarketing issue but it's on the roadmap. And it's only 24 usd, less than a third of what you pay to upgrade to Pro.

Roast my pinterest page! I'm keeping my roasting identity with my pinterest. Everyday I can post those on Pinterest Games, and it's just fun to keep coming up with these. Whenever I'm ready to do paid traffic I can just repurpose those, but untill than I'm just getting organic traffic with the pinterest games hack. And from now on Roaster of the Week winners will also be promoted liken that, as well as VIP members. Here is the link if you want to check it out!

For now the playground is unpinned. I already put that i my onboarding, I'm using the third pinned post to pin roast requests that are either recent or not getting a lot of attention. My only fear is people being lost here on where to start because they don't read DMs. But oh well, those who want to participate here will problably figure things out without the intro post. So now you will get more attention on your roast requests! Let's go!

Am I important now? Here is the post btw
