This is what Growth Boost is paying for. This Skool group is about as far from my interests as it’s possible to get, yet it showed up on my Facebook.

if you check your settings, and go to Discovery tab, you will notice that it is different + keywords are GONE. hope you have them written down somewhere else, outside Skool. people noticed and asked in Skoolers. Sam commented below... hm, it would have been nice to share this in Skool News before removing them, or am i asking for too much?! rhythorical question... anyway, now you do need to focus on: - your community name - short description - about page text to include keywords so that the big smart algo pick them up and use them for search. good old SEO rules.

yes, it's that time again. Skool News is out. and i have a controversial opinion about it (always). in this Skool News issue, they talk about "creator burnout" and "content treadmill". both are true. but they do not apply if you are NOT a content creator, but a business owner. here is what they are saying: - outsource growth to Skool - focus on delivery only sounds very attractive, right? spoiler alert - no, it does not. if you are a business owner, and you outsource smth to an external party, you want "a bulletproof service contract with clear performance metrics" (not me, Gemini said this). what does it mean? - "Clear Service Level Agreements (SLAs): Define exactly what success looks like. Include specific deadlines, quality standards, and response times so there is no ambiguity." now, tell me, do we have this with Skool GB? well, i will answer that - no: - no control - no clear deadlines - no expected standards all we are asked for is TRUST US TO DO IT RIGHT. well, you can do it - you can trust them to do it right. i don't. and here is the REAL PROBLEM: - they said "it is working for a bunch of people". cool. what bunch? give me real numbers, please! - i can't outsource smth, if i don't have any control over how it actually works for ME. it is not the way to do business. and i am a business owner, not content creator. - and then, they are saying "continue to create content and drive traffic". what?! why? wait? didn't you just said i will end up with creator burnout?! final point. difficult to digest. remember how they said that "only 5.0 rating is not good for a community"? hm, i wonder if the same applies to their own feature. so far, they never mentioned a SINGLE bad thing about GB in the news. that just sucks. to me. - never acknowledged people's concerned - never mentioned what does not work - never said anything bad about it so, i am sorry to say what Stanislavski used to say "I don't believe you". but, it's just me.

i am not complaining. totally understand the person. yet, it hurts. the situation: i registered to participate in the summit. did not submit, what i was suppose to submit by the deadline. the complication is the host agreed to be a speaker at my event. this morning, i got a message: - i am now removed from the summit (fair) - i am also removed from the host's community (okay) - she has removed herself from speaking at my event (ouch!) again, i understand, why i was removed from the summit. but the last two... logically, i understand. but emotionally, fucking hard. oh, well. i am not looking for emotional support (maybe just a little). i think everyone has the right to do what they want to do. and face the consequences. me - i would not do it like that. but, business is business, nothing personal. my lesson learnt, be extra careful with what i agree to do for other people - speaking, participation, help. it's my problem - i overestimate my capacity, grossly. so, i am going to play "collect 100 No's game". which means, every external opportunity, invite i get, i am gonna say NO or I NEED TO THINK, before i say yes. anyone else struggle with overcommitment?
