The short version: I don’t see the benefit in it. Is it really that important to mention that you delete inactive members to encourage others to stay active? This could result in members being active only because they don’t want to get deleted. That doesn’t make sense to me. It’s like a dance floor in a club—many people dance just because others are watching. I occasionally reach out to inactive members to ask why they’re not participating. If they don’t respond, I don’t delete them. Maybe they’ll return to the community in a few weeks or months. I place a lot of emphasis on posts I can send via email. I usually include a video announcing something. Why? Because you can’t play the video directly in the email, so you have to come back to the community to watch it. ;-) What are your thoughts on deleting inactive members? If you do it, why?

Last week, we recorded our FIRST EVER LIVE PODCAST at a private mastermind in Belfast with 50+ Skoolers who travelled from all over the world to be there. During the recording, @Calvin Hollywood & @Ted Carr dropped so many insane gems that we felt it would be EXTREMELY unfair not to share it with everyone who wasn’t in the room. So… we’re dropping the full 90 minutes in all of its glory to help take your community to the next level. A word of warning though: you might not be ready for the MADNESS that's inside👇🏼

We made it happen! Together with a partner, we secured an amazing location and hosted the very first Skool Festival, bringing together almost 250 people from across Germany. Our motto? Online is great – but offline is even better! Check out a few highlights below, and here’s our top tip: meet up in person! It takes community to the next level. Who’s up for an international Skool event? Thank you @Sam Ovens @Alex Hormozi and the Team of skool for your amazing work lg Calvin 🫡 In the comments, you’ll find more info about the event and how we made it all happen!

Before: The same groups showed every time you visit (meaning a few groups grow) After: Different groups show every time - try refreshing (meaning lots of groups grow) Before: Primarily focused on quantity (posts, comments, members) After: Primarily focused on quality (retention, engagement, members keep visiting) Before: One overall ranking (painting groups compete with business groups) After: Different rankings per category (each category competes with itself, evening the playing field) - Check it out and see what you think for yourself: https://www.skool.com/discovery. I think it reveals some really wholesome groups. - Note 1: Retention doesn't just apply to paid groups. If members regularly visit a free community for long into the future, that means you have good retention! We reward groups with high retention. Note 2: For more information we have three help docs. How to rank higher in Discovery? Why isn't my group visible in Discovery? How is my group categorized? Note 3: "We're fixing some bugs with the new discovery algorithm so things may change over the next few days. Don't read too much into the current rankings till the dust settles. This change will definitely help more groups get discovered." - @Sam Ovens
