⚠️ If the video is too long for you, just read the summary I provided under the lesson in the classroom. This is not the summary:

⚫ KEY HIGHLIGHTS:

My membership questions that automatically filter spammers (and why the email one isn't what you think)
The 240-250 member sweet spot where everything changes (this happened to my friend too)• Why I stopped using pinned posts and you should too
How I rank #1 for "[topic] + Skool" searches without any hacks
My "educational ads" approach (I give value, you watch my promotions - fair trade)
The 3 engagement levels and why most communities die at level 1
Why the classroom feature is broken and what I do instead

⚫ Here's what I cover:

My onboarding setup: The specific questions I ask new members (hint: the email one is just for catching spammers, not building lists)
The organic growth tipping point: Around 240 people, communities start engaging naturally. Before that? It's mostly you talking to yourself
SEO positioning: How I get my posts to show up when people search school-related stuff on Google
The funnel inside the community: I create chains of posts that lead people through value, then to my paid stuff (it's basically ads, but educational ones)
Discovery page tricks: More text in your about section = better ranking. Simple stuff that works
Why I hate the classroom feature: It's too isolated from the community vibe. I show you my hybrid approach instead

⚫ The thing is:

Most people join Skool thinking "I'll build it and they'll come." Then they hit a wall because they don't understand how Skool actually works as a platform. This isn't just community building - it's understanding the specific way Skool functions.

⚫ I also talk about:

How other members are using my community to promote their stuff (smart), why some posts work for SEO and others don't, and the mindset shift from "engagement for engagement's sake" to "valuable content that happens to rank."

This is the actual strategy call where I walk through my whole approach. No fluff, just what's working right now.
