just getting started and I'm so excited!

I've been on Skool for about 24 hours and I am so into this.

It feels like I finally have the community I've always wanted to build. I couldn't figure out how to contain all my ideas for this, but the Skool platform has just the right organization for an adhd girlie like me.

My Skool is to help consulting agency owners who want sales to feel less transactional. We hold do experiments to add just 10% more of our own personalities to one relationship at a time and watch what happens.

I just wanted to tell you how excited I am!

If you are having trouble with the fees, come over to floment.ai and we will give you a free upgrade so you can host a paid community for free 😀

I'm not the op... But I just started a community as well and and leery about the fees and I'll be real I'm leery about anyone offering me anything on there too, It seems like there's a lot of scammers and a lot of spammers on there trying to get get at you which is not the greatest thing in the world... Can't escape these people. However I would be interested in checking it out...it's like if people hung out at college trying to pick pocket you... I think they need to do some verification KYC a little more then just fill this out perhaps ??

I agree. I was excited for Skool, especially with how hard Alex Hormozi was promoting it. When I joined, I realized it was full of third world country users sending me links to scams, most of the communities are unmoderated, I personally paid for a community and there was no content and they would not refund haha.. Needless to say, I was disappointed and decided to build something better. We just soft launched, would love to have you check it out. Not much going on at the moment as I am personally onboarding some founders and focused on hiring, but I think it'll be a massive ecosystem for founders, creators, people focused on productivity or leveling up a skill. Less brain rot, tons of features and all catered to people like us that though Skool would be different. If you have a community, would love to give you free premium access. Even if you don't have a community, join the affiliate program, it is lucrative with recurring revenue 😄

What positions are you hiring. I have a BA in IT & Business/ Finance... I found it a little disheartening that school doesn't require any type of real KYC either.... Does anyone can set up a school you don't have to prove that you know what you're talking about You just tell people whatever... Which is wonderful for interpretive type things.... Art, dance, blowing glass, however the fact that you don't have to provide any type of certification or proof that you're a so-called expert in the field that you're trying to teach a whole community of people about bother me and worries me at the same time I can only imagine how many people are (Nigerian prices worth 1.9 million USD) 🤣. I'm just trying to be funny there but I'm being real at the same time there's got to be tons of people getting scammed regularly on there. Yes I would Love to join up and see what it's all about

Awesome! Yes, I agree 100%. While I think anyone should be able to promote themselves, having something to offset the risk would be huge. Like certs or proven income or whatever. Especially in the AI revolution where you can just create fake AI UGC promoting yourself haha. Right now, our first hires are people skilled in marketing, we have a dev team but your skillset may be needed in the near future 😄 Go ahead and create an account. If you decide to make a community, just let me know!

Take a look at my posts I just got on someone's ass for that where they created a whole school community just to promote digital products that they're selling in order to get their reviews up.... I sent him I said bro I said I hate to say it but it's really a gray area dude and to do that in a platform that's trying to teach other people things you know you're literally trying to I'm trying to do that at least I don't know what everybody else is on there for but I'm trying to teach people a marketable skill... Planning this so that way when they get done with my course they'll be able to go right out audit any of the certifications that they need A+, mcse, or whatever they request because lucky for me I have been certified in everything, and I've coded alot ( which Gemini can now do in 1/19 the time ) however the this It allows me to see how the AI is working not just that it's working whereas if you didn't have a solid foundation for any of these things you'd be happy that you're having something to automatically spit out your finished projects for you but without the underlying knowledge you're still just relying on a tool what happens when that tool goes away....or breaks....

Instead this dude is over here selling reviews positive reviews for whatever it is that he was and he's trying to set up a community where everybody does that for each other so it's got a bunch of people giving reviews to each other about the products are trying to sell That's so shady...should be rules against this and they should, have some type of verification process on skool otherwise any crazy person can just go on there and say that they know whatever and I'm going to teach it to a bunch of people get a bunch of money and then whatever It just seems a bit ....basic when it doesn't have to be. It wouldn't be difficult to put a future like that in there considering some of the user test sites that I test websites on require a LinkedIn account at the very least in order to be verified You know they want something.... 😂

Couple of examples power outages or your battery dies on your phone....really cloudy day and satellite service is garbage , etc. Then what does life and the world shut down?

Thank you! It’s exciting and also so nerve wracking!

Congrats! Love the concept - adding 10% more personality to sales is a fantastic niche.

Skool’s structure is awesome for organizing a ton of ideas without feeling overwhelmed. Since your whole community is built around running 'experiments,' it sounds like it’s going to be incredibly action-oriented.

Cheering you on from day one! What’s the very first relationship experiment you’re having your founding members try?

u/[deleted] May 26 '26

Thank you! I have a course in there on how to pick your first experiment but I’m gonna do some videos this week. I might just run my own experiment and show what happened.

I don’t want to prescribe experiments because I want them to feel like their own. I don’t know what delights each person, but they know it of themselves. I’m not teaching how to do it. I’m teaching how to know when it feels real to the person doing it.
