@Zak King

TRANSCRIPT Welcome, welcome. Step right up, step right up. It's time for the weekly Skool, the weekly wise Skool spotlight here on the Community Showcase, where we put your Skool in the spotlight. Let me just tone down this nervous system regulation sound by Malte Marten. I've got playing in the one hour handpan music in a forest. It's very relaxing. It was in that distracting sidebar of the YouTube interface when I was working with the Skool news episode, putting it into the YouTube vault of the wise Skool community hub, where you can view it without all the distracting sidebar stuff on YouTube. No ads, no algorithm, look at me, or censorship or throttling or any of that business. Just Skool, simple, simple, simple. Satisfying Skool interface. I am here each week to give you the rundown on what happened on Skool news and what's happening in the Skooliverse and what's happening with our members, our VIP members here. Lisa has just posted an event you should definitely check out. Let me find the right tab to share. Oops, I clicked the tab and didn't share it. Let's bring that right together. We welcomed a new member just now. Show me the money. Your debt isn't just costing you interest. Yes, it's costing you vacations and savings, peace of mind. Yes, and that freedom for just making decisions without all the worry and whatnot. That's an external link. We'll have to fix that. Tonight, which was four hours ago, so it is 630. Yes, join Lisa. Stop avoiding your money. Start owning it. That's good. Own your money. Organize, build, navigate with confidence. Very nice stuff. Lisa, one of our VIP elite here. You can find her expo booth in the quote-unquote classroom, which for showcase is an exposition hall of sensational Skools for you to check out. Just click this tab and it takes you right to the expo hall where you can see there she is. Welcome to the club, the smell of money. You too can get your own VIP featured promo booth right here. We've been talking a lot about Skool Magazine. They just released issue number 11 and started production on number 12, a whole year of Skool Magazine. I met Zach in the comments of Skoolers community, the community for Skool owners. I jumped right in and started participating in the production and learning about it. We'll be having a showcase magazine soon. As soon as I own my money, better go to Lisa's workshop tonight. Yes, so all kinds of great stuff happening. Skoolie is always releasing new features, great stuff. I've got the simple money, the simple six Skool workshop. I offer a one day profitable Skool quick start for established businesses to just done for you, set up and grow Skool community. One day, just a few hours, I set it up for you, train you. I can train your team. And then for those that want more of a done with you experience, I have the simple six Skool workshop. And of course, a do it yourself in the wise Skool community hub where you can just go step by step through all of that right here in the wise Skool community hub. I am an expert community catalyst. That's right. Help you get things going, light that fire, ignite that community. That's the I invite and ignite. That's right. Get that party started. I've been all in on Skool since February 20th. I do have a few dim green spots now where I've only done my daily three to seven activities of minimum daily activities for myself, for my communities. I let my flame go because even the 10 was too much. I just did my communities and didn't dip into the wider Skool of verse for a few days. And that's fine. You don't have to have that flame emoji next to your name that says you're active more than 10 times each day. That's 10 activities. You can see the flame right here by my name. It's just an indicator that you've done 10 activities each day. And I just wasn't feeling it. I took care of my community and bounced and lived my life and let my flame go. And it'll come back someday. Don't you know, there's still green, even if it's not all solid, you can see right here. I've, uh, I've been taking a little more time to myself. There's still no gray. There's something every single day, three activities, seven activities, seven activities, nine, six, yeah, three, three, three is the magic number, right? Three activities. So if I keep it, you know, above 10 for the next 28 days, I'll get my flame back, but I'm not hung up on the metric. Um, if you visit someone's profile, you can see the Skools that they're choosing to feature on their profile. I do have the trifecta of the, the, the build it, share it, live it. You know, I have a wise life formula. That's three parts, move, meal, mind. Um, and there's, you know, a lot of threes, threes are W's on their side. Yes. So, uh, build and grow with the Skool community hub, show it. Don't you know it to put your Skool in the spotlight was showcased. We are, um, promotional productions, um, instead of just another, uh, pitch fest or directory. Um, it's a different kind of presence put your Skool in the spotlight. Yeah. So got a lot of things brewing behind the scenes right now. So just like with any kind of show, you don't see it until the show opens and it's on with the show. And then, you know, it closes and there's new, new backgrounds made or whatever you can, you can relate this to, to traveling, you know, bands or, or, or arts and crafts fairs, circus or antique circuits or community fairs or conventions, comic cons, or whatever you want, uh, vendors circuits, you know? Um, so we've got some exciting stuff going. I've got an itch that's distracting me in my back right now. Let's dive into this week on Skool right here, right now. This is the Y Skool spotlight. Ah, rolling. Here we go. Um, why is Skool review? I do this on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the Y Skool community hub. I do it before and after the Skool news broadcast notes that I did during the show. And then on Wednesday in between those two reviews, I do this spotlight show. So it is a week of Skool. Bing, bing, bing one, two, three. It's like a little w winning in the Skool of earth. The Skool news broadcast notes from yesterday, the 18th of August, 2026. The big news was global payouts. That's right. Let's just go back from this relaxing hand pan. Oh, I can't show you. Um, yes, that's the Skool news theme. You can hear it. Oh, these guys, um, global payouts. That's right. India, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Costa Rica coming to you. Previously, India couldn't get paid out, right? And now they're just working on getting it worked out all over the world. That's right. Getting you paid in your local currency. Fast, fast, global payouts. Very exciting stuff. Um, excuse me. That coffee is very exciting stuff too. But you can see here, they're prompting me to listen to more of that hand pan music because I just listened to one. So distractions, distractions, distractions, but you don't have to have those distractions when you can come right into the YouTube vault here in the Y Skool Community Hub and watch every single episode like this with none of the YouTube distractions. That's right. You can make it bigger and not have any of those distractions. If you don't want to watch it, you've got the, the highlights from their post and see, um, which tab is it? This one's just black. Thank you, computer. Here. This is their post in the Skoolers community. And I copied that. You could see, and then I share it here in this public portal, the Y Skool Community Hub in the YouTube vault with all of the episodes so that you can watch it without all of this noise. You can focus on, I do take from the YouTube, these timestamps, the simple timestamps. Then I add a summary, some highlights, timestamps. Um, some of you like to read, this is largely for search engine crawlers, indexing search engine indexing so that I get greater results in, in searches and AI, um, suggestions. Um, but it's also helpful for a lot of you who enjoy the writing. And here is the clean transcript where I have AI helped me change every instance of S-C-H-O-O-L to S-K-O-O-L and have it there for those that like to work with the raw transcript. So let's just dive right in. You can see there's, there's more growth boost wins. The big topics were the global payouts, the languages, and more growth boost wins. And of course the Skool of the week for spotlights on Skools of the week. Now it was episode 60 when they introduced growth boost. So it's been 10 weeks of, I'm not sharing the right tab again, 10 weeks, 10 weeks of, um, working with optimizing, testing, refining growth boost in there. People are just having great results. So, um, that was episode 60 when they introduced it. Now, uh, last week they released the secret project, which don't get dizzy. Reviews. The secret project was reviews. And that was released last week. Very exciting stuff. So back to the emoji topic. If you used to have a star by your name indicating a top community, it would have been right here. Um, that's no longer an active emoji because it's now reserved for reviews. Yes. Um, there's still things like the clover, if you're making three K per month, monthly recurring revenue, MRR, or the rocket ship for 10 K MRR. And all of those assorted, um, indicators. Here we go. Get respect with a status emoji. Goated 1 million MRR red diamond, 300 K MRR diamond, 100 K MRR crown, 30 K MRR rocket, 10 K MRR clover, 3 K MRR and fire 30 days activity streak of at least 10 activities per day. And this is the Skool games leaderboards, which you can sort by community. And you can see that I would have to grow. My rank is 23,000. It's a free public portal community. So there isn't really any MRR. Um, and I would have to grow by $2,996 to get the clover. So evidently I have one four dollar. Um, but yeah, folks are doing good here. Um, all kinds of uh, communities about, uh, pretty much anything you can imagine. So check it out. See who's doing what boom, boom. This is your gauge. I'm making $4 with this community. Hey, that's something it's not paying for itself yet, but we've got other communities doing that and services and stuff that isn't on the Skool radar of income monthly recurring revenue. So, uh, back to not Skool magazine, Skool news, Skool news, number 70 Skool goes global, global, fast payouts, reviews, update, um, their AB testing the reviews now. So, uh, yeah, interestingly, they discovered that, that communities with a few not five star reviews, you know, not perfect actually were converting better than those that had all five stars. It's like people don't believe it's too good to be true or something. If it's, how could it be all five stars? This must be fake engineer and AI. You know, we're living in this age of huge touch trust gaps and, and the fakeness is really real. Oh, so exciting. Lots of growth boost wins Skools of the week. Let's take a look at those. Um, I will remember to share this tab instead this time. There you go. Oscar Patel is back in the Skool of the week again with his health maxing health equals looks name, this community. And, uh, folks are just eating that up. Of course. Um, what was this? Oh, something about reviews, users with reviews, groups with reviews review percentage with five stars average star rating. Yes. The metrics on reviews, the reviews metrics they're testing like they do with everything. So very exciting. Adding a system to review reviews that, you know, cause they're getting some people post just questions or nonsensical stuff that aren't actually reviews. So they're now integrating a system that will review reviews, go Skool reviews, languages, global, fast payouts, efficiency score, growth, boost optimization, all in progress, refining, and, um, just always making it better. I love Skool, the Skool of earth, the culture and the team is just absolutely phenomenal. And our, our leaders, our fearless leaders coming to us every week on the Skool news broadcasts with their sparkling water up next is payment methods and global currencies, um, just ever improving better and better and better and better. And here are some growth boost wins. Skool is my number one growth channel. Go a tool justice Jackson, making more from Skool than last platform in one month, 30 days. Boom. There's some of her metrics. If you want to come check out the post win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win. I made a comment with a whole bunch of screenshots from those. And also, um, the Skools of the week. Um, again, I've been adding the raw audio for those that don't want to wait for the replay that miss the broadcast, or maybe aren't Skool community owners. So they don't have access to the live broadcast, the raw video complete with dog barking and me click clacking the keyboard and sniff snuffling or whatever, talking to myself, raw video or raw audio right here for those of you that care to indulge in that. You can't wait for the replay. Um, growth boost wins, wins, wins, wins, wins, wins, wins day Wednesday, ready for growth. Yes. Growth boost is insane. And here's a sample of the ad that Skool makes, um, that Skool made for this community. Very exciting stuff. 18 free trials since August 1st. Yeah. How about that? Very exciting. Look at that spike. Boom. Tons of wins. If you're in the Skoolers community, you, you see these all the time. I just, uh, toss some up. Oh wait, but wait, there's more. There's a whole second comment to that comment. Even more growth boost 29 signups in one day. Yeah. Go growth boost. Go. Yeah. Five times. And people are all over are experiencing this. Boom. Right on up there.
