Quick choice! If you could pick just one platform to focus on for community growth, would it be LinkedIn or YouTube? Consider this.... Youtube is excellent for marketeering and can be quite useful in building viewers. However, Youtube is saturated with videos in your interest making it tough to stand out. Think about this though..... Did you know you can place ads on Linkedin? Many have no idea of the marketing gold Linkedin can be. LinkedIn has over 310 million active monthly users of its 1.2 billion registered users And of those 310 million users, less than 1% of them are advertising on it. That means the less than 1% of advertisers is getting viewed by millions on Linkedin than on Youtube because there are little to no one advertising what you're advertising. So, with that said, it would be a wise choice to check out Linkedin for marketing your skool or whatever your business is outside of skool. Or use as a strategy to create buildup for when you actually launch

Sunday reset was changed due to me not feeling well so this is a bit of an update If you have fished around in some communities, you may have noticed that some are posting repeatedly, several times a day. It had me thinking. Either they are on Skool full time or its ai or automation. So, I decided to do some dogging because although I am filled with toms of ideas, I wish I had the time to post engaging things all day but unfortunately, I don't so I thought it would be sweet to have some sort of scheduled posting system, similar to Instagram or Facebook. Or at least a draft tool that would allow you to build post and post them yourself later Turns out there are quite a few automation tools that will make it a breeze for you to post in your communities on events when you can't. For example, I have been not feeling so having something to post for me would have kept the energy going in my communities. These are the automation tools I found. Sticky Hive - Lets you schedule posts to your Skool community in advance including text, images, videos, polls, and categories. Works with multiple communities from one dashboard. Includes additional automation like AI content ideas and moderation. Best for: Community owners who want a full Skool-focused tool with real scheduling and analytics. 𝗕𝗨𝗧 𝗜𝗧 𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗧 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 Check out the cost as there is a trial period then it charges according to your needs. No credit card needed to start using the tools though Next is Skool AI Post Planner - AI-powered platform that can generate content and schedule posts to Skool. Comes with an AI writer trained for social/Skool content and scheduler built in. Pros: Content creation + scheduling in one I signed up for this, but Sticky Hive was the fastest to get going. In fact, this post is from Sticky Hive. It got me straight to the goal of posting to my community, I'm using a 14-day trial so we shall see how it goes from here. So there you have it. Tools to help automate your community and free up your time. The thing is, it takes money to make money, so you'll have to invest into one of these tools. You can get away with it early but once your community grow, this will be essential

Last week started the attendance challenge. And the plan was to do it each week but since it’s just a few of us, I think I will narrow it down to once a month, instead of once a week. Whoever has the best attendance gets a prize. Since we did do it for the last two weeks, Last week the winner was @Alice Ward-Johnson and this weeks winner @Matt Westerlaken At the end of each month I will announce a winner. Alice and Matt, you both won Starbucks gift cards. I will inbox you the details. Thank for showing up and being present here. It’s one of the most important things you can do to support a community.

I have a question, If we have a paid community, can we have free as well as paid courses in it?
