One thing I think people are going to regret is NOT starting their own Skool community sooner. When I got started back in 2024, there was no $9 Hobby Plan. I’ve been paying the $100/month plan ever since. I could downgrade now, but honestly, the affiliate feature alone has been worth keeping because it gives members an incentive to share your community and bring in new people. That has absolutely helped this community grow. Another thing I’m noticing? Skool is investing heavily into helping communities get discovered on the platform itself. Right now there’s still opportunity because the platform isn’t completely oversaturated yet. The earlier you build, the easier it is to establish momentum before thousands more communities flood in competing for attention. Now obviously I’m not a Skool insider, but personally, I wouldn’t be shocked if the $9 plan doesn’t stay around forever. If you can lock that pricing in now, there’s a good chance future-you will be happy you did. So if you’ve been thinking about starting a community… stop overthinking it. Yeah @Greg Junge @Todd Rosenthal @Vicky C @Lisa Jeffries - I'm talking about you 😉 Open the group. Start posting. Start building relationships. Start learning the platform. Why wait when it’s only $9/month? ➡️ START YOUR COMMUNITY NOW

I was always the one drawing ✍️, from early childhood to this day, at home , in class, getting in trouble for drawing in my notebooks and on my desk 😅! I drew for my home, my friends and family’s gifts, at work, decorated spaces, created crafts… But never allowed myself to believe I was a “real artist “ 👩‍🎨 and I could make money off it. Then last year, I thought “what do I have to lose?!” Apart from money, time and efforts 😆?! So I taught myself digital illustration (thank you YouTube!) and self publishing (thank you KDP but I wish I knew Skool and this group!) and now I have 4 books on Amazon, I sold 113! Two of them are about my other passion: sharing my language and culture 🇫🇷😀! I am so excited to be here and learn more!!

Huge congratulations, @Krista Brea for bringing in 1000+ members to this beautiful group! 🎉 Thank you for all that you offer us!

You might have heard of Linktree…it's a way to create a microsite that you add to your social media platforms. But here’s a better option built inside the Skool ecosystem by one of our own. @Jeff Baer runs BIO BUILDERS, and it’s honestly one of the most practical tools I’ve used for turning social traffic into real conversions. I recently updated my own microsite (you can check it out here 👉 https://ez.to/kbrea) and made one simple change: instead of just listing links, I featured my Skool community visually right at the top. Not just a button—but something that actually stands out and pulls attention. That one shift made a noticeable difference. My conversion rate from microsite → Skool community is now close to 50%. Most people treat their bio link like a dumping ground for links, but it should really function more like a focused landing page. Whether you’re trying to grow your Skool community, promote a book, or drive traffic to an offer, you want one clear priority that people can’t miss. What I like about Jeff’s setup is that it actually supports that goal. It’s: - Simple to customize - Built with conversions in mind - Affordable (under $9/month) And if you don’t want to build it yourself, he also offers a VIP option (~$160) where he’ll set everything up with you on a Zoom call and optimize it for conversions. If you’re already creating content and getting traffic, this is one of those small upgrades that can make a real difference in your results. ➡️ GO JOIN BIOBUILDERS
