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?

If you join a paid group on Skool, be careful how you sign up. The way you arrive at the page matters a lot. Think of it like a shop. If you find the owner on social media and ask for their personal link, they keep almost all the money you pay. That is fair because they did the hard work to find you. However, if you click the owner’s profile and join through a "recommended" list inside the Skool app, the company might take a big cut of your membership fee. Depending on the settings, they could take anywhere from 30% to 70% of what you pay every month. The platform uses "last-touch" tracking. This means the very last link you click before joining decides where your money goes. Once you join through a link, that choice is locked in forever. To help your favorite creators keep more of their earnings, always ask them for their direct link before you sign up.

Anyone tried Whop? I’m experimenting. It’s very impressive so far! The AI asks you a few simple questions then creates your product, website and everything you need to start making money online - in just minutes! You can even run communities and courses etc like Skool.

I'll go first...

I'm not sure if it's something my local bank (in Australia) has changed or something Skool has changed or some other party along the way?? But I used to always see my payouts as from Citibank and now I see them from Stripe. Has anyone else noticed a change to their Skool payouts in their bank account?
