Testing Skool as a Social Feed (Yep, Iโm Breaking the Rules Again)
Soโฆ I hit a bit of a stumbling block this morning. Yesterday I announced that Iโm testing using Skool as a social feed, basically bringing all my socials together into one platform to see what happens when it all lives in one place. Now, most people know Skool as a community platform โ but Iโm doing this one a little differently. Iโve kept it open to the public. So technically, thereโs not that much reason for people to join right now, but if they do, they get notifications, can comment, and it helps me actually see whoโs seeing what. Plus, they get to be part of the social experiment itself. They can share their thoughts in the comments, join the conversations, throw in their opinions, just like you would on any other social feed. Iโll be posting everything there, old stuff from Facebook, new things going forward, random thoughts, full posts, the lot. Itโs not something thatโs going to burn me out or take a shed load of time, itโs literally just putting everything under one roof. Because letโs be honest โ Frank can be a grump[y knob at times and doesnโt like links. Frank doesnโt like a lot of things. But Susan (aka Skool)? She doesnโt care. Anything goes. And the bonus? I actually own this platform. I pay for it. Itโs searchable because I have set to public. (This is where the magic will start happening, this is Strategy) And over time, itโll start showing up on Google, which means whatever Iโm creating now will have a longer life span. So yeahโฆ Iโll be using SEO, keywords, and all the strategic bits behind it, and Iโll share what I learn along the way. And as of this week, Iโm also bringing YouTube into the mix โ part of a new YouTube PACT experiment Iโm running inside The BackRoom. Apparently, Iโve realised I bloody love testing things with people, sharing the full shebang, and actually showing what works (and what doesnโt). But hereโs what hit me this morning, I started thinking about how strategic my profile actually is or maybe isnโt Like, I post a mix of random sh*t, business stuff, messaging and marketing content, promos, vegan lifestyle bits, day-in-the-life moments, stories, all of it, heaps of variety.
