For the right business with a Skool group, there is so much potential for Skool's Growth Boost program. I love watching groups take off and thrive with that lovely tailwind! Because I grow primarily with collaborations, my business is not one of them at this moment. Many of the "Skool Network" attributed individuals, as it turns out, are not truly thanks to Growth Boost and/or Skool marketing on my behalf. GROUPS THAT DO WELL WITH GROWTH BOOST: - Bring in a lot of outside traffic - The humans who show up, often join (high conversion %) - Extremely clear niche and "target" "avatar" (But let's be real... they are simply lovely humans who are a good fit for what we offer. The marketing lingo can sometimes feel so very inhumane!) BUT. I have a whole different situation right now. 1️⃣ I love collabs and will be ramping them up. This is my favorite way to grow because when a new friend arrives they are ALREADY connected in a way. So it feels lovely to drop in. 2️⃣ ALSO FYI: We have the affiliate % turned up to 50% for now, and that feels like a great way to grow! AND 3️⃣ IS THE REAL CHARM / A QUICK ATTRIBUTION STORY. It's about a friend I adore. He's a super cool guy, and I joined his paid group. But before I did, I waited and got his direct link. He DM'd me the link, I joined his group at that exact second without clicking anywhere else. Guess who got the attribution? SKOOL NETWORK got it. Whattt?! Right now a lovely team member at Skool is looking into this to understand because that's not the intended design. BUT -- I don't need her to do that research for me to know with 100% certainty exactly what I did. I was intentional about the whole thing. Making sure that I clicked the message then joined his group directly and immediately from his direct link. He's my friend and someone I want to learn from, not some rando who's group got placed in my face. This leaves me with some real questions about attribution. THAT + MY SITUATION DOES NOT MEAN: 1. This glitch is consistently happening (my hope is this was an anomaly) 2. Growth Boost is bad 3. YOU should turn it off for your group

Did you see the freemium experience upgrade? This went live today. 1️⃣ the "plans" page is visible BOTH for members AND non-members (example with mine: https://www.skool.com/focusedfounders/plans) PERFECT TIMING for us because we have a huge special this month! 2️⃣ that's what is shown when they click "join group" as well --> now potential members see BOTH the free option and paid tier(s) the moment they enter the group. This is HUGE. Great for transparency and a better likelihood that your new members upgrade right away or in the future. I'm a HUGE fan! Anyone else with a freemium group who loves this news?!

I'm SUPER excited to invite you to join in the SKOOLx Finals on Saturday. This is the largest speaking competition on Skool, and much to my very happy surprise, I'm a finalist!! Just to be in the finals is humbling and thrilling -- I saw ALL the talks. Being part of this is pretty exciting, but I'm also looking forward to seeing the others share live!
