If you are already on the Premium tier and want to know how to make the most of it, or are thinking about upgrading, here is everything you need to know... ⭐️ 🗞️ In the Standard tier, you can post in the community once a day in any category (except for days with a hashtag prompt, then you get an extra post!). There are two kinds of acceptable community posts: "anything" promoting your Skool group, or offers that are free (freebies, free workshops, podcast promotions, your own YouTube channel promotions). You can see the list of categories in the How It Works pinned post. These "rules" are for both standard and premium members. 🌟 🗞️ Now for the additional benefits for Premium members: 1. Premium members are allowed to put an "ad" in the classroom to advertise anything they want - free or paid. The ad stays up for as long as they are a premium member. Ads rotate weekly. 📰 You can place your ad by creating a draft course in your own community and then copying the course key and sending it to me to copy into the Classifieds. Course keys can be found by going to the thumbnail of the course in your classroom and clicking on the three dots in the top right corner. 2. Premium members also have access to all live events on the calendar. This includes meetups twice a month (called the PERSONALS) and open drop-ins once a month. 📆 The meetups are structured and focus on improving your visibility as well as helping you make connections and foster collaboration. 3. Premium members also have the opportunity to host their own free masterclass for all members on the CLASSIFIEDS calendar. This gives you the chance to provide value to the members and then pitch your group or product at the end. 💵 In order to qualify to host a masterclass, you have to first take my How to Teach a High-Value, High-Converting Masterclass workshop ($27). The next one is being offered on January 6th with doors opening for registration January 2nd. After taking the prerequisite workshop, the first masterclass you offer is of no charge. Subsequent masterclasses that you would like to offer will be subject to a $10 administrative fee.

Today was another travel day - we left a day early to avoid the snow again. We had a wonderful holiday, but it's nice to have everyone safely tucked into bed at home as well! There is just a little over 24 hours left in 2025 and we are only 28 members away from our goal of 1000 Classifieders by 2026! You all have done an amazing job with the referrals and the shoutouts, and I couldn't have reached this goal without you! Every single referral is important, but I want to give a special mention to @Jake Hill and @Diana Frank who have referred the most Skoolers in the last 72 hours. If you were at the last PERSONALS meet up, you will know that I have a special opportunity planned for January, but because of the amazing work you all have been doing since Sunday, I've decided to start the challenge a bit early. So here it is... 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟴, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗝𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝟮𝟴, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝟳𝟮 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀! Qualified Skoolers means someone who has an active Skool group showing on their profile. They cannot be an admin, a moderator, or a co-owner. They have to show as the owner of the group, and the group has to be visible on their profile page. Use your personalized invitation link (found in the right panel under active members) to have your referrals credited to you). The winner will have a 72-hour period in February where I will pin a post of their choice. The post must meet my standards for quality (we will work together to ensure quality if necessary). There will be other ways in the coming weeks and months to earn/buy pinned posts, but I hope this is a fun way to kick things off! Even if you don't have a lot of Skoolers in your own group, you can still reach out to Skoolers you know in other groups who are looking for enhanced visibility or who are looking for an amazing group to network and collaborate with.

Thank you all for rallying behind this incredible group. All your contributions, support, and positive energy have come together to make this an amazing place to be. I can't wait to see what we all create in 2026 together. It's going to be a great year. Now no one churn! 😂

IN THIS GROUP, I am waiting to see the members tip over to 888 members. At 883 now at 7am EST! Today will be the day, I'm sure of it!! Or maybe even 900?! Who do you want to invite to the Classifieds?! IN CONNECT & COLLAB... I'm still pinching myself that we won the Skool Games(!!!). Today in "Connect & Collab", we'll have a SUPER real chat ALL about the Skool Games. Pop in and join us if you want to be part of the chat. I'm pretty sure it will be a good one! WHAT WE WILL COVER: - rules of the Skool Games + how does all this work? - the history of the Skool Games and how + why 2025 = very different from 2024 - generally: how TO win - how WE won - what winners win + the private Skool message I got about the details (will share only what is appropriate!) - the crazy surprises that I didn't see coming (but should have) - why I'd do it all over again EXACTLY as we did - thinking about it all from a "connection and collaboration" perspective -- OF COURSE - I will share the numbers breakdown too, including how many members joined with affiliate links (THIS IS SUPER COOL!) HOW THE CALL WILL WORK: - workshop style for the first hour or so - after party for open Q&A, ask anything you want - will set aside a full two hours for this, so the after party should be loads of fun! P.S. This call is open to members at ALL levels >> https://skool.com/connect

The real breakthrough I had on a 1:1 call: stop doing more and start doing it in the right order I jumped on a 1:1 call recently and I walked away with a reminder I think a lot of beginners need to hear. It wasn’t about finding a new product. It wasn’t about writing “better hooks.”It wasn’t about posting more. What I learned is this: Most people don’t need more things to do.They need things to feel simpler, and they need to know the next step. On that call, it hit me how often people drop off because they feel confused or alone, not because they’re lazy or not trying. And once I saw that clearly, it changed how I think about content, selling, and support. Here is what we covered 1) Funnels don’t usually fail… they just go silent at the wrong moment Most people don’t want to be “sent to a system.”They want to feel escorted. If someone feels alone, confused, or unsure, they don’t push forward.They exit. Your job is to reappear as the guide exactly where trust wobbles. 2) Most conversion gaps aren’t traffic problems Here’s the hard truth: The difference between 2 sales and 9 sales is often not more views It’s fewer unanswered questions. More traffic doesn’t fix confusion. It just sends more people into the same leaky moment. 3) Selling starts before the offer and continues after the video This reframes everything: - social media isn’t for selling - videos aren’t for closing - pages aren’t for convincing They’re for preparing belief. Buying happens when enough emotional and logical friction has been removed. 4) Beginners don’t want funnels, they want safety If you lead with words like: - funnel - automation - systems you can lose beginners instantly. What they’re really asking is: “Will I get ripped off?”“Will I be abandoned?”“Will this work for someone like me?” When you answer that, you build trust fast. 5) People don’t buy information… they buy not being alone People aren’t against learning. They’re against paying and then feeling like: “Okay… now what?”
