Most community owners spend all their energy trying to create more content. But one of the easiest ways to increase engagement is much simpler: Ask members for a tiny contribution. Give them something they can answer in 10 seconds or less. That’s it. Low effort = more replies. More replies = more conversations. More conversations = a community that actually feels alive. And once someone comments once, they’re much more likely to participate again. So before creating another long post, try giving your members an easy win. 👇 Your turn: What’s ONE thing you want to make progress on this week?

I’ve been building something new, and it’s finally ready for people to start using. It’s called VoiceDrop. It lets you record and send actual voice messages inside Skool DMs, Comments, and Posts. You can record your message, listen back, attach it to the conversation and send it. The person on the other end can listen to your VoiceDrop right there in the DM. I built it because voice messages feel like one of those things that should already exist in Skool. VoiceDrop solves that. Sometimes it’s quicker to talk than type. Sometimes you want the other person to actually hear your tone. I’m opening it up to more people now. Jump in early. www.VoiceDropHQ.com

There’s too much at steak here. 🥩😂 Spring Farm Shopping Centre has made the questionable decision to leave its Dad Joke Showdown open to the entire internet. So naturally, I’m calling in reinforcements. 😂 One of my terrible dad jokes somehow made the finals, and I am currently fighting for the honour, the glory, and most importantly… a meat tray. I need a 𝙩𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙡 𝙬𝙖𝙫𝙚 of votes for #6. Please click through to the main post and comment 6. It’s one vote per person, so just one comment each counts. And if you’re feeling especially chaotic, 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙩 so we can see just how far outside Kingston this very local shopping centre competition can travel. 😂❤️ Help me make Spring Farm wonder why people from all over the world suddenly have such strong opinions about a very small rump steak. VOTE #6 HERE: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1EtF3fe2a9/ If we win this thing, I promise to treat the meat tray with the respect it deserves.

I talk out loud a lot. If I’m trying to explain something properly, give feedback, reply to someone, or just get a thought out of my head, I usually find it much easier to say it than type it. Now I can do that directly on Skool with VoiceDrop. You can drop a voice message in a post, comment or private chat. It gives conversations a bit more of that personal touch without needing to jump on camera. You can stay completely faceless, skip typing out an essay, and people still get to hear your voice, your tone and how you actually meant something. That can be useful whether you’re just chatting with people on Skool or you run a community and want a more personal way to reply, answer questions or give feedback. Each VoiceDrop can be up to 10 minutes, which is plenty for quick back-and-forth conversations. If you’ve got more to say, just drop another one. I’ve attached one to this post so you can see exactly what it looks like. The full rundown is at VoiceDropHQ.com

Well, this is a pretty ridiculous milestone. Logan Sendle and Blue-Collar Biz Accelerator have officially crossed $1,000,000 in monthly recurring revenue on Skool, making Logan the first person to ever hit seven figures in MRR on the platform. And just to make sure that number actually sinks in, we're not talking about a million-dollar launch, a million dollars in lifetime sales, or one unusually good month. The leaderboard is showing $1,000,380 in MRR. Recurring. Every month. Even more absurdly, the community added another $166,102 in MRR in the last 30 days alone. Regardless of what niche you're in or what size community you're trying to build, I think this is a pretty significant moment for Skool. A few years ago, the idea of building a community on a relatively simple platform and taking it all the way to a $12 million+ annual recurring revenue run rate would have sounded completely insane. Now there's a giant $1,000,380 sitting on the leaderboard proving it can be done. Congrats to Logan Sendle and the team. Someone had to be the first. Now the race starts to see who becomes number two. Now, obviously, I'm not posting this because I think everyone here is going to build a million-dollar-a-month community. That's not the point. The point is that communities have become a legitimate business model in their own right. You can start with a handful of people, solve one specific problem, improve the offer as you go, and build recurring revenue around something you already know how to help people with. Every community starts at zero members. Logan's did too. You don't need the perfect name, 50 lessons recorded, a giant audience or some complicated funnel before you begin. You need a clear person you want to help, a reason for them to join, and somewhere for the first few members to actually gather. If you've been sitting on the idea of starting your own community, this is probably a pretty good reminder to stop waiting for it to feel finished. If you want to build yours properly from the beginning, go through the Classroom here in OCL step by step, in order. It will take you through the process from choosing your idea through to actually getting your community live.
