I have not been able to keep up with my affiliate marketing plan as much this week with TikTok and doing my 2nd LIVE. It’s ok it will get done and family comes first. Dad is in a routine now and each day brings different challenges. I pray things get easy for him. Ameen.
I am entering my last week at my current job and I will finish on the 5th of July. I’ll have 10 days off and then will start my new contract position which is really exciting and I can’t wait to tell you about it soon.
On the TikTok front, views are growing and are now at 1,396 followers and 21.4k likes. Thank you all for being part of the journey.
Dean has released to us his new community and learning hub. I will tell you about it in this and next weeks post. It’s a great way of our affiliate marketing team communicating and helping each other which is a tremendous support. There is a new training hub for ‘The Affiliate System’, which I mentioned a few weeks ago. A very exciting future for us!!
This week I will talk about the SKOOL app, its purpose, features and next week the specific tailored system that Dean has created for us.

Pros and Cons of SKOOL
Pros:

User Engagement: The platform’s gamification and interactive features foster a high level of user engagement and motivation.
Customisation: Highly customisable to meet the specific needs of different communities and individuals.
Support for Affiliate Marketers: Extensive features designed to aid affiliate marketers in their business activities.
Cons:
Learning Curve: Despite its user-friendly interface, the sheer number of features might be overwhelming for new users.
Cost: Depending on the plan and additional features, SKOOL can be a significant investment, which might be a barrier for some users. Free for US! Well included in our Affiliate System subscription.

Hi Atif, I am enjoying SKOLL. It is one more way I get to know our community more deeply. Dean Holland is a brilliant connector, and is teaching us to be connectors, too.
I look forward to our regular show! I am fortunate to have found such a great friend and comrade.
Hey Atif. This was very informative and timely for me. I am a bit behind and hadn’t explored Skool yet. So this was a great summary of what to expect.
As always, Atif, an awesome post. What a great overview of Skool, and what an amazing app Dean got us on. You are the star of our Skool community and I am learning quite a bit from your posts. You are one of my behind the scenes mentors. I enjoy watching your success.

Hi Atif – This is a great description on this new community that I am also a member of thanks to the generous and supportive nature of our shared mentor, Dean. I really do look forward to diving into this community and utilizing all of its resources as intended. There is a big learning curve, but I don’t think it will be a difficult one to master once I play around with it and learn all that it has to offer.
