About Your Last YouTube Video
I just saw this tweet from Mr Beast - he spent about $10Million and more than a 1,000 hours on his last video. I usually grab my phone, film what I'm thinking about, upload it and I'm done within half an hour at no cost. Might explain why he has over 500 million subscribers and he gets WAY more traffic than I do! lol What's your YouTube process?

@Shaz Jones Not that far from Shaz and likely light years from Jimmy. His videos are 100% entertainment. Mine are 100% educational. I just need a smartphone to create my videos. Not some big production.

@Shaz Jones True.
Slow progress and NO progress are not the same thing.
But most people treat them like they are. No progress only compounds to nothing. But slow progress can compound into a future fortune. Every giant tree starts slowly from one tiny seed. But if you don't sow and you leave that same powerful seed on the shelf it grows into nothing at all. Apparently Albert Einstein said, “The most powerful force in the Universe is compound interest.” Small numbers that keep growing are the most powerful thing in business. A single dollar becomes two, then twenty, then fifty and a hundred dollars. A hundred becomes two hundred. Two hundred becomes five hundred. Five hundred becomes two thousand. And two thousand becomes the month that changes everything. But only if you don't quit when it looks s-l-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-w. Quitting *guarantees* no progress! I heard this today from @Mark Douglas : "The beginning was ugly. The middle was quiet. But the end looked like cheating!" Trust me it gets easier, and it gets faster. The people who built something real? Almost every single one of them *almost* quit at the same exact point... Right before it started working. When I first started on Skool my affiliate earnings (passive income) was only $4 in the first month. But it was $4 that hapened without me doing any work. And it keeps coming in month after month without me doing any work while I'm out enjoying my life. Now that $4 (and others like it) has compounded into over $100. That's still small for some. But I can see the day when it compounds into more than a $1,000 - and beyond. TURN THE TAP ON. Don't worry about how small the first drops are ... it can soon become a more powerful stream of income than you ever imagined. If you haven't started yet, here's the first step #Make Your First Skool Dollar $

@Sharon Horne-Ellstrom Agreed.
How did this happen?
I turned 60 on the weekend ... and I still can't quite believe it! But I celebrated anyway ... what did everyone else get up to on the weekend?

Experiment Results
So you might recall on the 1st of August we switched from Fremium to Paid to experiment with results in two main areas: 1) Improving Conversions with Growth Boost - Skool seemed to be really pushing paid communities in their ads and discovery/traffic algorithms, and 2) Preventing spam,scam, bot member applications We now have a month's worth of data and it was a spectacular success for preventing spam/scam/bot member applications - 100% reduction in that ✅ But on the Growth Boost side it was a total failure - we didn't have any legitimate conversions either ❌ So if there is no market for paid content in this niche from me, I'm rethinking the whole community. But FIRST I'd love to hear from YOU. What would you like this community to be?

Would love to chat with you before you do anything drastic @Shaz Jones. There is a formula for Growth Boost, and not many are aware that it exists. Send me a DM and let's have a chat.

So you've made your first dollar on Skool. What's next for you - growing traffic, members, MRR??

@Shaz Jones Not really. I don't think Kirby's comparison was Apples to Apples. Also, the traffic models are completely different. The way Aiden drives traffic is quite unique because it leans heavily on partners within Skool, like Kirby and Evelyn Weiss. In essence, he converts better because he isn't driving traffic through social or FB ads, so it's not fair to compare the About page numbers.
