🙏

[@dhajdu]

Your videos are awesome. I created some great automations already and am getting ready to launch a community for Founders and their teams.

[@StephenGPope]

Amazing to hear! Thanks for letting me know.

[@henrythomas7112]

Thank you so much for this video. Super helpful and well-presented. Your time and effort is most appreciated!

[@StephenGPope]

Thanks Henry!

[@60pluscrazy]

Thank you Stephen for you detailed videos. We are following them step by step. They are working perfectly. The amount of effort you are putting to create these is unbelievable 👏

[@StephenGPope]

so awesome to hear that!!

[@juanplascencia3097]

Wow! Wow!! Wow!!! So much value! 👏👏👏

Man, I’m so glad that I found you. Quality content. Greetings from Poland.

[@karol.francuz]

Nie sądziłem, że kogoś tu spotkam

[@StephenGPope]

Greeting and thanks for the warm welcome!

[@StephenGPope]

Witam!

[@barbiefigueroa]

Your teaching style is brilliant!

[@RF1re]

Keep in mind it's going to cost you about $200 in subscriptions (per month) just to start- Plus, depending how much you do, it'll cost more on top of that. Not saying that's a bad thing- But be prepared to pay some up front costs.

[@katelin_gates_rn]

I’m curious where you get that number? Skool is $99/month.

[@StephenGPope]

Yea definitely plan on making money from it all to pay yourself back. Can do skool referrals too. Only need 3 to pay for the community.

[@camilaaraujo4889]

Amazing content Stephan, my most difficult decision it’s to appear on video

[@bradtollefson4281]

Great content. What presentation software do you use to draw arrows and refer to your screenshots while working through the amazingly elegant outliner that allows you to click on the next topic you want to adddress? Not even Perplexity knows.

[@StephenGPope]

haha, not even Perplexity?? it's called Demo Pro, its just a Mac app, I can draw those anywhere.

[@FlowCreators]

Does Skool also have a Make integration that can give access to a specific course or is it Zapier exclusive right now?

[@StephenGPope]

no sadly, not yet!

[@apexwebservices]

There is s Go Synergetic module (3rd party) apparently

[@MetaPixArt]

I find skool communities have a hierarchy feel to them, unlike discord or Reddit where it’s more equal

[@greaterthanconsulting]

Besides the great video (all your content is wonderful), how do you make those arrows when your talking and drawing them real quick on the screen. Then they disappear right after you let go of the mouse button. I'm using loom and I thought that is what you were using, but I don't see that arrow tool. Thank you.

[@StephenGPope]

Its called demo pro on the mac

[@FlowCreators]

What screen recorder are you using to actively draw these arrows? It feels really engaging for the viewer it's a great format for teaching to help your viewers stay focused.

[@StephenGPope]

it's called demo pro on the mac!

[@abdullahoduro5493]

What about for a PC?

[@FlowCreators]

Might be a silly question but it seems like everyone who is all in on their Skool strategy has two separate skool communities, does a single plan allow you to have a free and a paid community or is every single person just forking over $200/mo for two seperate communities?

[@StephenGPope]

that is how it works yes, but you can get paid to give skool referrals or host a paid community or sell courses so its not so bad in the end.

[@tobiasburkhardt7602]

@@katelin_gates_rnno. That will require 2 communities at 99$ each

[@KimHelm]

@@katelin_gates_rn i think you have to pay for 2 separate communities

[@mattc3510]

Fantastic, great video you will grow massive sharing this level of knowledge 👌

[@StephenGPope]

hey thanks a lot for that feedback!

[@sales-in-motion]

Hey Stephen, silly question, but how do you link the post in the classroom text? either i can display a link or I can add a picture but this is not linkable....

[@whatifoundout]

That new 20k/month community you started is now at over 50k/month 😳

[@StephenGPope]

Lucky to have a bunch of cool people join and work together

[@leijerry1944]

I want to know which screen recorder tool.

[@StephenGPope]

Ecam live

[@hansknol3968]

Only when one has a large and engaged following

[@katelin_gates_rn]

Sorry Stephen for all the questions. I'm signing up for the trial tomorrow and right now I am planning everything. I want a group for my paid clients only and one for a free community. If the free community is it's own separate community, they won't see the paid group calls in the calendar and the course purchase option under classroom correct? If I am seeing this correctly, I would have to combine the free and paid clients. Is that correct?

[@StephenGPope]

Correct

[@katelin_gates_rn]

@@StephenGPope Thank You 😊

[@w00tastic]

Hi. I don't know if I'm understanding you correctly, but I'm in a few communities where they list events for paid groups in the free group, but add a note saying that it's for members of the paid community. Then they include a link to the paid community for people to sign up.

[@katelin_gates_rn]

@@w00tastic Thank You 😊

[@Frank-os6gq]

what is that little arrow tool your using? thats cool

[@StephenGPope]

Demo pro on the mac

[@Zoltronic.]

Why do you use skool over Kajabi?

[@StephenGPope]

Skool is built for engagement and simplicity, which I think breeds the best community.

[@katelin_gates_rn]

Do you need any outside subscriptions to follow this?

[@StephenGPope]

Thrivecart (if you use an external landing page) but that is a one time purchase.

[@katelin_gates_rn]

Man I hate Skool so much…love your content a lot but this community phase will be burnt toast in a year.

[@StephenGPope]

thanks for the feedback on the content. not sure I agree with you on the communities, communities are as old as time, its just where they happen. we'll see in a year 6/26/2025 😀

[@Neilstube356]

If my target market is mostly on Facebook, building a Facebook group community there is likely easier. For gamers, Discord is ideal since many already use it. I don’t see the point in adding a barrier by making people sign up for Skool when they don’t already use it? It might work good for your make money niche, but I don’t know if it’s the right move for everything. Is this a fair assumption, or do you think I am I missing something?

[@StephenGPope]

@@Neilstube356 that is always something to consider, but facebook wont promote your content to your entire group, only some people will see it. I work from the model that skool is the best group platform, and if I make a great place for my target audience they will go wherever I put the community, so best to put it on the best platform possible. thats me.

[@ClaudeEugenie]

@@Neilstube356hey, if your target market is mostly on Facebook why not stay on the Facebook. The issue I found with Facebook is That people won’t connect for you only at the end of the day. You are in competition for their attention from other videos. And you cannot really embed your courses in the Facebook group. Discord is good for gamers of course. In case of other products I enrolled in a growth hacking course. It was on discord, nobody even commented in the group. We had to go back to what’s app. And now we might be switching to slack. Find the plateform that is best for you.

[@gmog7857]

This is very annoying to do. What else do you have that I can replicate to make money?,,,,,,,please,,,,,,,,,,,,
