Welcome to the 2026 version of my Official Skool Blog. Let's GO! What You'll Find Here: - Genuinely useful posts about best practices in Skool - Shared by a Skool-obsessed gal who has owned multiple top 1% groups and won the Skool Games (for the Connect & Collab group, we have a pretty awesome thing going there) - Favorite Skool groups and the cool things happening in those groups - Curated mix of some bangin' posts from around Skool What You WON'T Find Here: - Naval-gazing personal bits -- like what I ate for a snack today - Tons of personal stuff about me -- although sometimes I'll share personal stuff in the mix if it feels special and worthwhile enough - Boring rants (if we have a rant, the hope is that it will at least be interesting) How Often I'll Post: - Could be as often as 3-7x each week - At least once weekly - Probably not ever more than once daily unless there's a really good reason - We'll see as the year goes on, won't we?! Quick Background: - This started as an experiment, but in the last month or so I was too busy winning the Skool Games to keep it rolling (such a cool flex 💪🫠) - The flex was somewhat tongue in cheek. That last month was insane, and my MRR was nothing like what you'd see in the Money or Tech category. I had no sense of balance, and it was actually kind of a miracle that we won! 😃 - I freaking love the photo shared with this post because it might display just a tiny fraction of the obsession I have with Skool. - Pictured: my husband Carlos, married to this amazing man since 2005 and lucky AF, the Skool Cat (ha!), and me (hi! ::waving::) P.S. It's a "blog" but is also technically a group. Feel free to join by clicking the "JOIN GROUP" button, but you won't be able to post like in a normal group.

I haven't posted here since the day of the Skool Games. Instead of the Skool News, this week we got the Skool Games Mastermind. I'll just tell you right now, it was REALLY COOL. (The Skool Games AND the Mastermind.) I didn't think I could love Skool any more. But here's what happens... Every time I think I've hit the limit for how much I love Skool: - Another episode of the Skool News comes out - A new feature is released - I meet more nice real humans on here - I go and then MEET the Skool team and see that they are literally exactly as expected IRL: they really freaking care. SO that last thing... GAH... you guys... the Skool team is full of a bunch of Care Bears who are as obsessed with Skool as I am (I would say "even more obsessed than I am", but honestly I just think Skool is the most amazing software that ever existed, especially for creating community). THIS LOVELY VIDEO is from the mastermind with Sam Ovens (CEO of Skool) and Alex Hormozi (Skool investor, amongst other bits of course)... If you click on or go to about 1 hour and 45 minutes in, I got to ask a question AND profess my love for Skool. What a sweet life moment! BUT I recommend watching the whole video...! This was a pretty cool room to be in, to say the least! There's a lot to learn... it's amazing that they share the recording!

OK... who else cried on Skool News? Sam & Kirby had tissues ready (THEY KNEW!). I just sat here with tears in my eyes but kept on flowing to type up the recap. The "best post ever" below is the one that got us all crying! NEW FEATURE: SPAM RISK SCORE This is already live! (personal note: my main community is freemium, this has been a HUGE help already!!) ROADMAP/IN PROGRESS: - Risk Score is now at V1, more is coming soon. Huzzah! LOVE YOU SKOOL! - Notification improvements. A lot of people complain about notifications. The more groups and interactions, the more notifications. They're working on it tho! - Traffic Sources: Where are people coming from? This is a HUGE project. No one has ever had THIS level of visibility. Working on it for 6 months at this point. Estimated release date is early February. Will even show conversion rates from one source to another! ROADMAP/UP NEXT: - Moderation tools. Will give us the option to auto-approve low-risk members! Also working on SMS confirmation to be able to post in a community (as an OPTION) - Page load speed. The more people who use Skool, the slower it gets. (It's growing fast! "Every two weeks, Skool grows by more than it did in its first four years!" ~Sam) ("The lesson there is just 'don't quit!'" ~Andrew Kirby) ("Inspiring!"~Sam) ("Thanks!"~Kirby) - Languages incoming on Discovery SKOOL OF THE WEEK! (see screenshots) - Gert Leroy with the Underwater Squad - He's super rocking tiers with $3k MRR ($9 entry point + upgrades) - Super cool to see this --> he's got the Skool link EVERYWHERE! - "Gert! What a man!" ~Kirby "BEST POST EVER"(!!!!) (see screenshots) - Shout out to Glyn Dewis (Photography Community + Photography Creative Circle) - His community made this stinkin' amazing video for him. THIS is what made us all cry! FIND IT HERE* (*you must be a member of Skoolers to see this post, but the video is shred inside the YouTube video attached to this post)

OK. I want to share what could be BY FAR the most EPIC way to get paid advertising that WORKS to attract amazing SUPER-Skoolers into your world! But first. This really requires a touch of the back story to connect the dots and add context. - October 10. I woke up with an INTENSE thought about a group that I needed to open. (This would go on to be Connect & Collab.) - October 11. I opened the new group really quietly and first invited friends and clients to join. I decided to stay focused on word of mouth this time. - October 19. We started our FIRST group challenge, and it was LIT. Our members LOVED IT!! (There are STILL members going through it!) - October 21. Evelyn started the Skool Traffic Challenge, and I get even BETTER at tracking metrics! I GOT THE STAR DURING THE CHALLENGE!! - Anyways, over the last two months, we grew to hundreds of members who are freaking AMAZING. I wake up excited to come to Skool. (I mean, I do other things too. I have a full life most days. BUT I LOVE SKOOL and love my group so hard.) - But before yesterday, I think our biggest growth day was 12 members in the same day. That's still 12 whole humans but nothing crazy! - Flash forward to FRIDAY. I'm in this guy's EPIC group (it's called "The Skool Hub" and is highly recommended if you want a place where you can promote your Skool group anytime!!), and I see he has a new program where you can pay to pin a post. I figured. WHY NOT? THIS IS A GREAT IDEA! I snagged a pinned post straight away! - IT WORKS LIKE THIS: you pay for a pinned post in the classroom, then pop him over the text. He posts it FOR YOU so that the notifications go out to his thousands of members who are following him. And then it is also pinned for 24 hours!
