I say it again and again: The true value in a post is often not in the post itself, but in the comments. I really like reading comments because you often find out about things there that have a really high value. Yes, many posts are great, but especially on Skool the value often lies in the exchange and what you find there. Thanks @Jonathan Boshoff for this great comment:-) lg Calvin

Hey everyone!!! I don’t normally post, but after speaking to some of you in the Skool HQ I thought I’d share a couple of the things I’ve learned working on the support team for the past 1 year 😄 Here we go: 1. When members can’t reach you for help, their experience suffers—and they’re more likely to leave. Solution: Make your support email easy to find. Add it to key places like your community’s About page, the welcome post, or the first page of any course. The easier it is for members to get help, the better their experience will be. When members know where to ask for help, they’ll feel supported. They know you have their back even if they don’t contact you. 2. People get confused about what to do in your community without a clear community roadmap. Solution: Engaged communities provide a clear roadmap. The purpose of the roadmap is to guide members from point A to point B with simple, actionable steps. Outline precisely what members need to do to achieve their goal. This shows you have a proven plan and can help them succeed. People will join your community to achieve their goals. But they stay because of the valuable connections they make along the way. Speaking of connections… 3. Members are less likely to churn when they feel a personal connection with you. Community is like a party: If you don’t know anyone there, you will feel left out. And no one likes that feeling. By taking the time to connect with members, you make them feel included. Members who know you personally become invested in your community and are much less likely to leave. Solution: Start by building relationships through AutoDMs. Ask open-ended questions like, “Have you been doing this for a while, or are you just getting started?” From there, tag them in relevant posts based on where they are in their journey. Move from DMs to a one-on-one call. For smaller communities, consider short 1-1 calls. For larger communities, an onboarding call is a great time investment. You can even direct members to the onboarding call directly from your AutoDM.

There’s a new wave of success on Skool. People are changing what the standard of success looks like now. You don’t need to build a team of 20 people to generate $300,000 in a month. You DON’T need tens of thousands in marketing 🚫 You just need an offer, and the right way to present it to your marketing. And while “the right way” is as vague as vague gets, it usually comes down to just 3 simple steps. - Identify the pain points of your audience  - Identify who is profitably solving those pain points  - Model their system At least, that’s how we’ve done over $150k this month. And we started with less than $1,000 MRR 🫣 This platform provides an incredible launchpad. And I’m blown away by how supportive, helpful, and genuinely caring everyone is here. 🙌 I can’t wait to see what other incredible winners we see rising up next!

Hej @Sam Ovens I have a community for artists, and in one category, we showcase our work through pictures to get feedback. However, as artists, we often rely on videos to share our creative processes. It would be much easier if we could upload videos directly, as not everyone uses Vimeo or has a YouTube channel. Is direct video upload currently in development?

Community #1 is 10,410 in business. It’s never been setup. No members, no posts, nothing. Community #2 is 11,240 in business 20 active members, 0% churn and 8.7% conversion rate The algo isn’t calculating correctly.
