First of all, this post isn't even really ABOUT Joe. It's about - WHY everyone's talking about Joe - WHY this matters to the rest of us And I'm totally going to answer these questions for you. So here goes...! BTW. Joe being Joe DeFilippo, maker of Skooly. ➡️ #1: WHY IS EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT JOE? - Joe listened to what people were looking for, and he solved the problems by making those things exist with his fancy pants programming skills (examples: native-like audio shares in Skool, bookmark posts within Skool, easily make your own GIFs so others can share them in Skool, and actually a bunch of other stuff) - He made the price insanely affordable (like, I cannot believe the price is going "UP" to $9 because really this COULD cost way more!!) - He also just keeps on making things better (example! I asked for the voice transcription to be available in Hungarian and Portuguese, and WITHIN 24 HOURS he added those languages!) - SO. About the growth and "talking about Joe" side, a few days ago, I made the first of several posts in my group about this to spread the word. Already more than 10 friends from my group signed up right away, AND some other friends piped up to say "yes yes yes! it's great!" Joe made a point to thank friends for spreading the word. - Joe's not making a huge thing of the affiliate stuff. But we all know that the price will go from $5 to $9 next week, and it feels like a nice time to get friends in there quick! - WHEN SOMETHING IS REALLY GOOD, and people WANT AND NEED THAT THING, it's easy to spread the word! So it's been more than a little crazy to notice that now in the last couple days, there seem to be posts about this everywhere! And I'm not sure, but I think he's gotten something like 40-50 new members in the span of a few days! ➡️ #2: WHY THIS MATTERS TO THE REST OF US! - Make the thing people want. - Offer it at a fair price. - Keep making it better and LISTEN to feedback. - Thank the friends who are spreading the word! - You don't even have to make a big thing about your affiliate program. When you have a great thing, YOUR PEOPLE WILL SHARE!

I don’t know about you, but I’ve met some really lovely friends here on Skool. This place is different… I feel like there really is the right space and dynamic for us to be able to connect from human to human. But no matter what, there’s nothing like meeting in real life! IRL = In Real Life, BTW. I’m only explaining that just in case, for any friends haven’t heard that yet! So a couple of days ago, I had the great pleasure to have a genuinely fantastic and so-very-real conversation with @Heather Majors!! We went to the Hard Rock Cafe, which was cool! The next thing you know, we’re extending the date to walk along the Mall! My teenage daughter came along too for the walk, but she doesn’t want to be pictured on my Skool blog. 🙃🌻🤓 There’s so much I can say about all of this. - You’ll almost never regret making the time to meet a friend. - Whatever it costs to travel and to go do the things, there are often ways to minimize the expense, raise the funds, and/or make some kind of magic… AND it’s always worth it! - We can learn so much from each other! This is why masterminds can be so powerful… Putting our hearts and minds together as helpful both on a strategy level and just as a human! - Wear comfortable shoes on big adventures! 🤣🙃 P.S. I will absolutely come back to Washington DC. This was such a good adventure, and it’s a really cool place with a lot to see and do! P.P.S. Scout is the darling doggy pictured. 🐾💕
