You can now go into your Growth tab (inside your Group Settings) and see what level your community is at, what you need to reach the next level, and the ads Skool is creating for your community! 🎉 I've already seen a few people asking why they're at Level 2 and still aren't seeing their ads, so I wanted to clear that up. On Skool News, they explained that the new ads started rolling out last Friday, and they expect all groups to have their updated ads by the end of this week. So if you're at Level 2 or higher and aren't seeing yours yet, give it a little more time. They're still rolling everything out! Now, I wanted to show you guys something from my own communities. I haven't changed the cover photo in this community since January. I've been wanting to update it, but I decided to wait because I wanted to have something to show you guys once these ads became visible. As you can see in my screenshot, I'm getting enough traffic to qualify, but I really haven't given Skool enough information to work with when creating these ads. PLUS, I am not getting a return for the adspend really well here. Part of being Freemium and Public. We might see some ads generated from what I currently have, but I'm not going to wait around for that lol. Now that I have the screenshot to show you, I'll be updating things pretty soon! You can also see that even in my paid community, where I'm not pushing a ton of traffic right now (soft launch style & I really want people in who understand the value of showing up and asking questions), I've still managed to reach the Level 2 requirements of 100 About Page visitors and at least 1 Skool Network signup in the last 30 days. Well I'm getting ads there! I just don't have all 10 yet, which they also explained could happen during the rollout. A few things to remember: 1. Level 2 unlocks custom ads, but it doesn't guarantee ad spend. Skool still considers how efficiently those ads perform. 2. You might initially see 5 or 6 ads instead of 10 while they finish rolling everything out. 3. Your ads can change as Skool tests different creative angles and formats. 4. If you make significant changes to your cover image, About Page, or pricing, your ads should automatically refresh. They said this generally happens every hour.

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?

I’m opening up the 💬 Community Talk category so anyone who reaches Level 2 can create a post. You can ask questions or start conversations around Skool, community building, and Trafficmaxxing. Just remember this is a public community, and the community rules still apply. Opening this category does not mean we’re opening the feed up to general motivational posts, FYIs, self promo, thought articles, or unrelated topics. I want to keep the conversations useful and on topic for everyone here. You can find the community rules here. I may also pull questions from Community Talk to answer during The Skool Morning Show or another YouTube live, so keep in mind that anything you post here may be discussed publicly. 💪 Members from my paid community may have additional posting permissions. If you have permission or were invited to post something in the paid community that falls outside of these guidelines, just mention that you’re a paid member in your post so others know not to report it. My paid members do have permission to share their affiliate links to the paid community inside this community. Remember if you want to join try to remember to use one of their links! :) If you see something that doesn’t feel right, please report it so we can take care of it. This community is open to the public, so sometimes spammers and scammers sneak in. I don’t mind that part though. You know I’ll take care of it. 😉 If you’ve hit Level 2, Community Talk is officially open to you. 💬
