I'm presenting on this exact topic live tomorrow at 7 pm London time (2 pm ET / 11 am PT), so it's front of mind. Here's the core insight for anyone not able to catch the session. Most people chasing YouTube monetisation are optimising the wrong thing. They're trying to squeeze more ad revenue out of views, when the real money is in what happens after someone watches. A free Skool community linked from your videos does something a website can't. It gives cold traffic one single action to take: joining is free, and once they're in, you're building a relationship instead of hoping they come back to your channel. That's the difference between a viewer and a member. I run The Content Revenue Lab this way. YouTube brings people in, the free community builds trust, and paid offers come later once that trust is there. No large subscriber count needed. No expensive setup. Just a clear path from video to community to income. If you're building a YouTube channel to grow a Skool community, this is what we focus on inside The Content Revenue Lab. https://tinyurl.com/TheContentRevenueLab Des Dreckett - The Content Revenue Lab

Pricing is one of those decisions that feels huge when you're making it. But if you ask most community owners how they actually landed on their number, the answer is rarely as strategic as it looks from the outside. So let's be honest about it. How did you pick your price? Drop your answer below - and if there's a story behind it, I'd love to hear it. 👇

Most Skool community owners never run events. It's one of the most consistent reasons growth stalls. I ran a session on this for my premium members, and the response was strong enough that I'm opening it up tonight for anyone who wants to join. We're covering why events build trust faster than regular content, and how to get booked as a guest presenter in other communities to bring qualified new members back to your own. Tonight. Free. One hour. 8pm London | 3pm New York | 12pm Los Angeles Join here: https://www.skool.com/classifieds/calendar?eid=14d6de00dbe640ae8747feb284262c77 Des Dreckett - The Content Revenue Lab https://tinyurl.com/TheContentRevenueLab

New 2026 study says yes - and the worse you cook, the better! A new study has just landed! It´s a 2026 research that is a total game-changer for how we look at our daily routines. We talk a lot about "brain hacks" and supplements, but it turns out the ultimate cognitive super-weapon might actually be sitting in your kitchen drawer. It's called... a spatula. A massive study recently tracked 11,000 adults, and the results are wild. 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗯𝘆 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟱%. But here's the kicker: The worse you are at cooking, the better it is for your brain. The researchers found that "novice" cooks (the people who probably burn toast and have to Google how to boil an egg) saw a nearly 70% reduction in risk. Why? Because your brain is working overtime!
