Congratulations to @Donna Thornton! She rewrote our About page and created a new community image, and now we appear in the number 1 position in Skool Discovery when people search for "Skool growth." We all know she doesn't like to talk about her own success, so I'm doing it for her. P.S. I usually get a very serious look from her afterward. :) Also, Skool started showing Skoolology in its Meta ads this morning. Coincidence? I'll share my thoughts on why later. Remember the new very important rule: once one person clicks your ad and pays to join, Skool moves your community up to Growth Boost level 2, where Skool creates about 10 different custom ads for you, as long as you meet all of Skool's other requirements.

Donna rewrote the Skoolology About page, and it is ranking better than anything we've put there before. She built it with a new framework she has been developing for about pages. I had nothing to do with it, which may explain a lot. So the framework now has a working name: Todd You So. (Say it out loud. It sounds like "told you so," which is what Donna gets to say to me now.) Two things to keep in mind: 1. Rankings are an early signal. The real verdict comes when we see long-term conversion percentages. 2. Not every framework, or even every template, works for every community. What fits ours may not fit yours. We'd like your take. Read the About page, then let us know in the comments: why do you think Skool loves this text more than anything we've done before? Todd --- STOP BUILDING YOUR SKOOL IN PIECES. Growth here. Engagement there. Offers, tech, traffic...another expert, another strategy, another community. Skoolology is one room for the whole build. Your community is a system—not a collection of tactics. Bring the decision. The stuck spot. The half-built idea. What you're testing next. We don't look at your build through just one lens. Donna brings 30+ years across learning, leadership, community design, behavior, research & implementation. Todd brings 30+ years of tech, systems & tools. Builders here bring experience neither of us could provide alone. This isn't another course library. We build here. Bring real work. Get thoughtful eyes on it. Try something. Come back with what happened. Your next question will change. You shouldn't need another community every time it does. Stop collecting answers. Start building. Bring your build. You've found your room. Start your free trial ↓

Hopefully some of you wonderful people are as I sure am ready and super exited to update anyone of you following my 12 week mission of bringing my first 100 members to my new and free community by using the beautiful art of relationship building ONLY😃 PLEASE KNOW that the love and support within this group has truly been so so so giving in so many ways, and I want you all to know that I love and appriciate every single one of you 🫵❤️‍🔥 Now to the second most important part! THE UPDATE😃 Not only have a had some amazing fun connecting and getting to know af few handfuls of people from around the world in only 48 hours, I have also gained so much powerful knowledge through these new relationships that I already know a lot more about what they all need me to serve them of value within my community 🥰 This is what i call a HUGE win win win for all 😃 Please check out the screenshot shared and let me know if you think that this is just as amazing as I do🤣 I do want to add that I also have 3 pending members request and the reason a have not accepted them is because they did not border to answer my 2 simple entry questions that are made for them to open op and for me to understand more of how i can serve them the best possibleway in my community. If they dont engage at first point of contact, why would they engage within the community? We dont want to work with all the people guys! We want to work with the right one😎 Once again thank you for everything 😘

Our very own @Alex Beviss is being featured on the Backstage Roadshow! And the timing couldn’t be better. Alex just joined us and has been sharing more about what he’s building and where he wants to take it. Tomorrow, we get a chance to hear more of his story and meet the person behind Prostata Paladin. 📅 October 8 ⏰ 11:00 AM GMT 🔗 https://meet.google.com/qxc-swdt-kjr Alex, we’ll be cheering you on from Skoolology! 🙌

@Jen Ps brought me a question today, and we decided it might help someone else. 🤗 She’s already getting traffic from Pinterest. Some people land on her quiz, some on her blog, and some on Lighter. But none of those paths currently lead to her paid community, The Room to Breathe. So she was trying to figure out... Do I send people from Pinterest directly to The Room? Invite them through my quiz and emails? Add invitations to my blog posts? And 😂 her strategic thinker brain was trying to do ALL THREE at once. As we talked, the question shifted. Instead of: “Where should I send my traffic?” we started asking: “What’s the most natural next step for someone who found me HERE?” Someone taking her quiz may need a different next step than someone reading one of her blog posts. And someone who sees a pin specifically about putting down mental load might be ready to visit The Room directly. So Jen has a test. She’s going to connect The Room more intentionally to the things she already has AND try a few pins that lead directly there. No new funnel. No new thing to build. 😂 Just connecting the dots and watching what happens. And it made me wonder about the rest of us. Where are people finding you right now? And once they find you…where do they go next? And Jen, you know we’re going to want the deets later! 😂🩷 Thanks for such a fantastic question!
