ChatGPT Astra Can Send Skool DMs Now?! ⚠️😱
The new ChatGPT model came out, and apparently ChatGPT Astra can actually control your computer and take actions for you. Including opening Skool and sending DMs. My Skool Morning Show cohost @Eric Howell tested GPT Astra 6 and told me to check my Skool DMs. I opened them to a message from HIS account that said: “Hello, this is ChatGPT.” And I am not sure how I feel about this. AI agents being able to use your computer opens up some really interesting possibilities. Eric already has ideas for how he could use the new ChatGPT Astra model to automate certain tasks, and I can absolutely see where that could be useful. But having AI actually communicating with people through your Skool account feels different to me. If I get a Skool DM from someone, am I talking to that person? Or could I be talking to their AI agent controlling their computer? That is the part that freaks me out a little. I recorded my reaction right after it happened because I genuinely want to know what other people think about this. Would you use ChatGPT Astra to send messages or take actions inside Skool? And where do you think the line should be between AI helping you and AI acting as you? ...Do you think Sam will find a way to block this?

Beware of Fake News on Skool ⚠️ (Don't Believe Nonsense!)
Just because someone posts something confidently doesn’t mean it’s true. I’ve seen a few things floating around lately about Skool that people are taking as fact, getting upset about, and then repeating to other people without actually knowing if the information is accurate. And that’s how fake news spreads. Before you change something in your community, get mad about how something works, or start teaching it to someone else, make sure you actually have the right information. I was just sent the craziest rumor yet about Google taking a percentage of payments that is just completely fake news. It made me go “what the helly?” so much that I decided tomorrow on The Skool Morning Show we’re clearing up fake news. Eric won't be here tomorrow, so just me answering and clearing anything up. So what have you heard? Drop it below or ask live on the show. Growth Boost? Affiliates? Payments? Attribution? Something else about how Skool works? Ask me anything you’ve heard that you’re not sure is actually true. If I know the answer, I’ll give it to you. If I don’t, I’ll tell you I don’t know. BUT I will find out the answer! ...if you try to tell me a rumor about the secret project, I will rick roll you. LOL this is not for trying to be sneaky! Let’s see how much fake news we can clear up tomorrow! (Cuz I'm over the BS and we need to be able to focus on truth and traffic.)

Growth Boost Tip: Don’t Assume You Already Did This (Double Check It)
Don’t assume you already did this. Go check. I’ve checked a LOT of profiles that thought they had, and nope... it wasn’t working! If you want Growth Boost to work for your community, one of the things Skool specifically tells you to do is link your social media profiles to your Skool profile. Why? It helps Skool see what your audience is like. And if your community eventually reaches the stage where your Growth Boost stats are performing really well, Skool may actually look at your social content, clip it, turn it into ads, and run those ads to promote your community. So go to User Menu Drop Down → Settings → Profile → Social Links and add the platforms you use. But here’s the part I really want you to do: ⚠️ Go to your actual Skool profile and CLICK YOUR LINKS. ⚠️ I’ve checked so many profiles where the social icons are there, but when I click them, they don’t actually go to that person’s social media profile. Maybe you changed your username. Maybe something changed with the URL. Maybe it was entered incorrectly. Even if you’re positive you already added them, go check that they actually work. This is one of the easiest Growth Boost tasks you can knock out today, and I’ll be sharing more things you can do to help Growth Boost understand your community and get it in front of more of the right people. Want more help getting traffic and making Growth Boost work for your community? Join us inside Make Money With Community. We’re currently running The Trafficmaxxing Cohort that you can observe and follow along, tracking what actually brings people in, and I’m sharing more Growth Boost tips and updates as we go.

Next Week Plans Page Audit! (Drop Your Skool Link Below)
Sometime next week, @Eric Howell and I will do a Plans Page Audit on The Skool After Dark Show. Not sure what day yet, but I want to give you plenty of time to share yours so we can check it out live. Now that Freemium also shows the plan page like other models when you go to join, all we need is for you to drop the link to your Skool below and we will get through as many as we can. ⚠️ IF you are open to it, I may have some time to do a couple for my regular YouTube videos. If you are open to having an audit done on yours for a YouTube video, then please put your link below AND "Please feel free to audit mine for a YouTube video". (If it does not have that then we will just try to get to yours on the show.) Your plans page is now part of the packaging and while your cover photo, group description, and about page are important... the plans page decides the conversion and what type of conversion if you have Tiers or Freemium. So if you have a plans page, drop the link to your Skool community link below & decide if you want it for just the show or maybe for a YouTube.
