Keaton, thanks so much for sharing this. I have my guitar courses on Kajabi but have a Patreon to provide tabs and tracks for my monthly TH-cam lessons. I was considering Skool but man, when you mentioned all the spam, DMs, and posts...that's a turn-off. It seems it would be creating way more work!
They scammed me, signed up for trial to look at the site, canceled right away, they still charged me the monthly fee, and I’m still fighting to get them to stop charging he aware of this junk
Tested it out. The discovery page shows you members and monthly fee of groups. However, as a group owner you get two different links - one for inviting people for free and another one for taking people to the payment. Most people would do the math and assume all members are paid, which isn't the case. So i think the revenue of the communities are inflated (its a low key selling tactic).
I was excited to join as I joined yesterday as a Plan B but after viewing this, Im back with Plan A. My issue is coding to create automated emails but I'll figure that out versus paying $99 when I don't have incoming revenue/profits yet. Just starting out. Thanks for sharing on your experience!
Much success to you. I'm just starting out on the platform & launching my self care community as paid. I just started promoting today and have 3 subscribers at 1 buck a month for all those who join until I decide to raise the investment. Do I have $99 to dish out to use the patform? Nope, however this is my motivation to work my hard to promote organically and not letting it discourage me from moving forward. I want to encourage you no matter what you decide to do go hard with it for atleast 90 days. If after that you don't see upward progress by all means pivot.
Interesting, but it seems your biggest complain was having a free group, bc it created a lot of noise. Why did you not just create a paid skool group to get rid of the low value? That is what you did on GHL anyway.. Is this really a fair comparison?
My business is on GHL, I love GHL, and I don't plan on ever switching over to Skool. But this video seemed oddly biased against Skool. There are some things that Skool simply does better. Why would you compare a paid GHL community to a free Skool community? I like your content as a fellow GHL user, but the bias against Skool is a bit strange.
Thank you for this I have a GHL and I was trying to decide if I needed to do Skool to but I wanted a all in one hub! You've confirmed that I can do everything GHL.
Yo I was about to drop everything and start my own skool platform after thinking I was being left behind. I've been disliking the platform for a while especially because of this get rich quick culture that has come along with the skool games challenge. All these "communities" just trying to squeeze the highest dollar out of their audience + the noisiness of the platform really turned me off but I was finally ready to cave because of how well it integrates community, events, and courses. You just blew my mind. I had no idea GHL was making their own version and I've been wanting to find a reason to invest in that software for a minute I just couldn't justify the price before because I didn't resonate with being an "Agency Owner" I wasn't trying to offer those type of services at scale. As a community builder, with the potential to grow into an agency owner, thank you! I know how insane the GHL platform is I've worked with many entrepreneurs using it. I even went to a networking event back in 2020 and met the founder and saw the power of the platform up close now I finally have a reason to invest in it myself.
@@ItsKeaton the Communities feature is already out? Do you know if there are any example communities I can ivestigate? I'd like to see it for myself so I can make a final evaluation if I want to use this instead of Skool.
I understand the power of building a community, but why specifically use Skool for that? All features of Skool can be integrated to my own website with a single wordpress plug-in without paying $99 a month. Any opinion?
Facebook groups are not better. Skool allows the user to watch a video (or take a course) right on Skool. I find Skool also more personable as far as DM the group host. I wonder what GHL will charge monthly.
I use " Pay on close basis ", " We get paid only when we bring clients.. " In my outreach messages and manage to bring them on call. I find it hard to convince them to Upfront . They say it is said pay on results basis, now it's different. How to modify the outreach message now ? Or How to convince them in call to pay upfront?
I love these kinds of questions and why specific approaches work. I can help craft your outreach and offer to get you what you want. My private community is perfect for this. Here are the details: docs.google.com/document/d/1g-pBnjxIeE1PnVebF7SvKxmcJMFjlMOjimsPiVkyTRo/edit
Love you Keaton, but you're spreading wrong stuff here! With the new updates in Skool, you need to get to level 2 to access DM feature + You can't DM more than 10-15 people per week!
High Level already has the gamification feature and anything else they don't have that Skool does they will within the coming months. I did see that they will be enabling DM's in community within the next week or two but hopefully they make it so you can turn it off if you don't want it as I know spam can get pretty bad in school groups as it is.
I’m gonna be honest with you man, it seems like you just didn’t like the work that it took to maintain it and now you’re moving onto other things. That’s no reason to trash the community. That’s kind of a you issue.

Good stuff. Creating a course now. Will be aware of the out of control DM issue now.
Wait, can you really compare a free community in skool to a paid community one ghl?
More compared free ones to FB

Ease of use and network effect
you need to maintain your own server + regular buggie worpdress plugins

I agree. Facebook groups are a hot mess.
GHL includes it in all their plans
Good intel. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
The first 2 issues can actually be fixed so easy with moderation.
Cool

Soooo… you didn’t want to Pay a VA to moderate your Group?
And everything else I mentioned yes
This poaching effect seems to be the only online community business method.
Lol What you mean by Poaching?
Thanks for your feedback
Always welcome
Appreciate your valuable insights.
My pleasure!
thank you ❤❤
I did a video like this but opposite take and I use GHL Progreda too
Just make it $1
I have personaly never got a pitch messege while using Skoll for 2 months and i have joined 3 big groups
Are they paid groups? He says it only happens in the free groups.
Patiently waiting for you to make me choose the red pill or the blue pill. ;)
😂
i have 6000 members in a facebook group but reach sucks. you had ideas to et people to move to the GHL community from Facebook?
In skool you have 100% reach.
This doesn’t sound like a real problem. Don’t make it free, fixed. I don’t get any spam either.
Good for u
Thank you for saying that Jaren. I didn't realize it was free groups that he was talking about. Your commebt really helped me.
Dude, I might be able to take you seriously if you lost the glasses.
🥲
Then you may be broke because you are focused on the wrong thing.
@@AugustDavinDeepson Being broke isn’t a sin.
Hey keaton, it GHL starter include the community?
Yes
Thanks for the insights.
Why not just use a phone (whats app/ telegram groups whatever) when it's just about asking and answering questions?
Some ppl don’t like getting messages for everything
Great video thank you for your sincere video... I see facebook is still the best option.
Ermmmmmmmmmm
Hey there, I'm new to copywriting and don't know where to show what i know/ test my knowledge. plz help..
I am new to this as well. It appears that sync publishing is the quickest way to own your intellectual property.🎉
I use " Pay on close basis ", " We get paid only when we bring clients.. " In my outreach messages and manage to bring them on call.
I find it hard to convince them to Upfront . They say it is said pay on results basis, now it's different.
How to modify the outreach message now ?
Or
How to convince them in call to pay upfront?
I love these kinds of questions and why specific approaches work. I can help craft your outreach and offer to get you what you want. My private community is perfect for this. Here are the details:

Hello Keaton, can I edit your videos?
Helluva sales skills you got there, champ! 👏
Does high level have the calendar?
Not yet
Sounds just like another creative way to collect affiliate marketing commission from GHL
Among other things, of course it is. But I also have some Skool affiliates haha
Love you Keaton, but you're spreading wrong stuff here! With the new updates in Skool, you need to get to level 2 to access DM feature + You can't DM more than 10-15 people per week!
Thats great they’re policing this!

Why the sunglasses?
For extra comments asking why the sunglasses
How do i monetize my IG?
Depends
Seems like you are just promoting another platform that looks exactly like Skool🤓
😜
You mean being an affiliate?!!!😳😳 no way
would you recommend GHL for communities or going with CC360 or Elite360 which is just GHL with a bunch of stuff prebuilt?
Depends on your situation. I have bonuses for CC360 at go.itskeaton.com/affiliate
@@ItsKeaton appreciate it, did you use CC360 or your own GHL set up

@@ItsKeaton 😆😆
facebook is still the place you get most people to join your community: At least the freemium version of it.
Facebook reach is just hard mate it is good tho
Why are you wearing sunglasses in doors.
So the video gets more comments like thus
Also, no way to charge for a one-time product or different tiers of subscription. Two majorly dumb things amongst a long list of dumb things.
