Skool News | the Axe Verdict

the latest Skool updates. and the honest, unfiltered verdict from me.

THE VERDICT (text and video below)

i see Growth Boost is like a casino married to a financial pyramid:

if you are free, low ticket, low conversion/retention rates, forget it - no ads on you
if you are doing okay, they will include you in the carousel 🎠 which is no different from option 1. it means you only get visitors from discovery and search and profile. it means, they are growing Skool, you pay for it
if you are doing good (based on efficiency score we have not seen - but know how is calculated), you get dedicated campaign with $1-5k per day budget. but, let's get real here for a sec: if they do it for 100 communities, spending $3k on average, their daily ad spend is $300k, monthly - $9mln.

well, do you believe that they have such investment?

and even so, 100 communities is 0.16% BOOM! because, there 160k members in Skoolers. forget free communities. even then there are 60-80k paid communities.

my real verdict is

i just don't see ppl joining small/ paid / expensive communities right away

focus on getting traffic to your community by yourself
they just announced "re-adjustment" so, sorry, you might not see results for next 1-2 weeks
getting your community into the carousel?? i see no value in it. and then, ppl search and find you and you pay Skool 30-70%. is it fair?
more importantly, you advertise, ppl go to skool, check your profile, join from there and you give Skool 30-70%. is this fair?

here is the summary for the curious or find the recording in the Vault, as all previous recordings

🤩 New Features:

Skool reviews are now visible on Google. YEY. i could see them for Community Income Mastermind. but not for this community. it's weird. i will ask in Skoolers and update you once i understand the issue.
now Skool in the browser will autodetect the language and will translate the menu, and the content of the groups.

🗞️ Growth Boost News:

Skool is re-structured, re-set, re-whatever GB. so, it will take 1-2 weeks to get back to how it was before

🚀 Growth Boost Tips (if you decide to use it):

put your Skool community link on all of your socials (make sense anyway) and in your content (also good).
drive traffic to your about page. duh, it make sense to drive traffic to one place.
improve packaging: Cover Image, Title, About page photos and text. duh, you want it to be good either way. use Discovery to teach your AI to help you improve it.
make sure you have an annual option (30-50%) so Skool get their cash back quicker - not me, they said it 😎 well, seriously, you should have an annual option for your paid community. it is good for everyone.
give more money to Skool, if GB is not working right now - turn it up to 70% - and once it starts working, dial it down.
if free trial conversion rate is below 40%, consider turning it off. my honest opinion - something is wrong inside, in packaging or with traffic. and i don't think turning it off will help much.

❓ Growth Boost is not working? here is why:

your price is too low and other stats are average. how to solve? give Skool more money
you have to wait for your turn

💰 If you WIN the lottery ticket on Growth Boost:

you get a dedicated campaign
they promise to spend $1-5k per day on your ads
or if you are SUPER exceptional, they will spend $5-10k per day and create partnership campaigns using your content

so, are you turning it on or off? ⬇️

GB on 💰

GB off 😡
