I've seen @Andrew Kirby, @Brian Moncada, and many others build great communities FAST. It seems like a superior "lead nurture" model as opposed to email marketing or other social channels. I've been thinking about starting a community myself and am curious about those that have, how long did it take to "get off the ground?"

    Just depends on how much traffic you can drive

To build a successful community, you don't need 1,000 fans. You need 10 true regulars. (Credit to David Spinks for this idea... It's brilliant). This may contradict what most people imagine about communities — spaces with hundreds or thousands of people actively contributing and forming relationships where everyone is engaged and involved. In reality, only a small percentage of your members will actively participate. You don't need a lot of active members to get conversations flowing; you only need the right few. When new members join your community and see dozens of new posts and hundreds of new comments every week, they won't know if all that activity is coming from ten people or 100 people. However, getting to ten true regulars is not easy. My recommendation: Start with three. Get to the point where you have three members who are coming back every day (or most days) and posting and commenting. You probably already know the three people. A lot of successful communities have the same founding story: "It was just me and a few friends in a group, and it slowly grew from there." Who are you already talking to about the topic of the community? What three people would you text first with a question? You've already validated that they're motivated. They could be your founding members. Ask them if they'd be interested in joining a small group of friends who are interested in the same topic. Once you get them together, start conversations, discuss interesting articles, and share learnings. Be yourselves, the same way you would in a private text conversation. Be weird, tell jokes, have fun. It's that kind of organic, quirky core that can spark a thriving community. Slowly invite more people, but don't invite too many at once, or you'll smother the flame. Be selective and keep curating. Once you have 3 true regulars — reward them, make them feel special, hang out with them on Zoom 1on1, meet them in-person — give them what they need so they can continue being a role model in your community.

    @Ted Carr 100%. It's much simpler to think "how can I keep my 10 true regulars" instead of "how can I keep a multi-thousand community active"

  • 1 like • Apr 4

    @Ted Carr Great idea! Another great technique is to give the 10 true regulars status as a reward for providing so much value

I would love to be able to have more membership questions for someone to join the community. The reason being is that I want to be very selective in who I let into my community, because I know and have seen how quickly one or a few members who are not a good fit for the group can worsen the experience. Would be great to have at least 10 questions. Blake La Grange was saying that one of the reasons people pay so much to get into top tier universities is because it is extremely hard to get into and it's an extremely filtered group of people who are inside. That is what makes it valuable to others. If anyone could join it wouldn't be valuable for anyone anymore. So the more gated and difficult to join the communities are, the more valuable they will be to the people who are inside. Adding more membership questions is as far as I can see the easiest way to filter who gets in and who doesn't and thereby being able to increase the value of the community. I am doing this for my free community by the way. Because I see the free community more something mid of funnel, in the client journey, rather than top of funnel (how many people are using it). So I want it to already be filtered even though it's free. Something I also learned from the amazing Blake :). Blake's community is the best community I have ever been part of by the way. And it's precisely for this reason. Because he filters who gets in. So adding this change which is quite simple is maybe the most powerful way to ensure the skool communities are high quality. Please like the post and comment if you think the same way so it gets the attention of the team for this essential feature 🙏

    @Julien Wagemann 3 is annoying. 5 is enough.

It would be powerful if we could train a GPT like AI on our Classroom content. Have the AI watch for the posts made in our Community and comment on them with quality answers. Have it link to the Classroom lesson where it's pulling it's answer or answers so the clients can investigate further. Allow users to thumbs up / thumbs down the AI comments for further reinforcement learning. Think Github Copilot, ChatGPT, Notion AI, Jasper, etc.

    @Harry Whelchel Think it's pretty cool but I dunno

Hey all. I've started using Skool as a front-end marketing group instead of a back-end product group. Is anyone else doing this? Attached is the model I'm using. The key differences to the model most in here use: - No ads - No direct outreach - No sales tactics - No content treadmill - Focus on audience building (specifically YouTube) - Focus on community - Using Skool as a marketing community, not product community I ran the new model past Sam and he said he liked it! I also asked for permission to post this here and he said yes. I think this new model is a game-changer for getting to $100k/m profit. I know it's quite difficult to get the full picture from the image, so if you need more info then just comment "Loom" and I'll send you a Loom fully explaining the model. Hope it helps.

Hey guys! As many of your know, I have a free Skool community. I started the community with zero intention of monetisation. I genuinely wanted to bring together 'my people'. But recently I launched an offer and... ... Drumroll please ... I made $100,000 in 10 days! With zero employees. And with only $99 in expenses (yes, Skool is my only expense apart from Stripe). From only one simple post. Would you guys be interested if I made a free course sharing how I did it? I could share: - Is a Free Group Funnel right for you? - How to START a free group funnel - How to FILL a free group funnel - How to MONETISE a free group funnel Comment a money related GIF if you'd be interested, so that I know who to send it to!

    @Bilal Malas A member of the community volunteered to host

We shipped three features that make things more discoverable on Skool: New user profiles — Ever wondered what groups somebody is a member of, or if they're a creator of their own group? Now you can see on their user profile! This makes profiles more interesting and groups more discoverable. (image 1). Category chips — How do you get the organization of categories/channels but the simplicity of a single feed? Now you can see categories at the top of the feed and filter for them with a click. This makes categories and content more discoverable. (image 2). Pinned posts redesign — We made pinned posts yellow, so they're more obvious. (image 3). Check them out and let us know what you think 🙂

Step 1: Start a Skool community Step 2: Get people in it Step 3: Wait for members to start their own communities (Skool's auto-affiliate pays you for this) Step 4: Do nothing Step 5: Profit

Hi there! I saw the amazing high ticket funnel from @Andrew Kirby from a few months ago in here and it looks really great. But does anyone in this group use skool for low ticket memberships ($47 /month or $99 /month)? I'm looking for recurring revenue without making sales calls and make a big community for entrepreneurs looking for learning specific marketing tactics. In the future I'm going to implement high ticket, but for now low ticket $47 /month membership with community, a course (monthly updatet), q&a's and other cool stuff.. My funnel in mind: traffic comes from Youtube Ads and Youtube organic -> VSL -> Email automation -> Salespage -> skool! I'm curious if there are low ticket membership communities on skool? Thanks in advance.

Do you offer leaderboard incentives? If so, what are they? I'm thinking of offering: - 1-1 Coaching Call (Top Level) - Case Study Bonus (Show students a live example of what's working now in our field) I'd thought of sending merch (hats, tshirts etc) but I don't think it really adds value to students lives' Let me know if you've come up with anything good!

    I think merch does add value. You want to create an identity for your course. "I am a ______" And associate certain beliefs/traits/skills with that identity. E.g. I am a Consultant. A consultant works to add value. Avoids all distraction and stays focused. Sells high-ticket etc. Then by creating merch around that identity, when they wear it, they act out those beliefs/traits/skills.

  • 1 like • Aug '22

    @Matthew Morgan maybe. My brands pretty solid and defines a new identity. So I think people would wear it.

Thanks for the free Skool investor merch! I'm in Bali at the moment, so I had it sent to my family home. Then I get this picture from my Dad. Merch (and Dad) looking great if you ask me.

    @Robert Boulos In the world of Skool.com, A new Easter egg was found, A cat to bring joy and fun, With funky beats to surround. Creators gathered in excitement, To see this feline friend, And soon they found the enlightenment, Of the music it could send. So if you ever find yourself on Skool.com, Take a moment to seek, The cat with the funky music tone, And let your soul feel complete.

Hey everyone, Introducing Skool Kompanion - A Free Mobile App for Skool I’ve made a number of tools for Skool over the past few months such as Skool Directory or the Members Export Plugin. I believe in Skool the product and ecosystem, and am excited to see it grow. As with directory, this project was inspired by seeing numerous requests about a Mobile App. In response I’ve gone ahead and created Skool Kompanion. Skool Kompanion is a simple mobile app that allows you to access Skool as you would from a browser. It also gives you access to real-time push notifications for posts and comments at the tip of your fingers. Over the course of the last couple of weeks — I have found myself more engaged with Skool due to the way notifications keep me looped in. I think this mobile app with notifications will lead to higher engagement within your groups. I encourage everyone to try it for some time, and see how much of a difference it makes. I think it will be an essential tool in order to stay engaged and connected with your groups. At this time Skool Kompanion does not support Android, and notifications do not support chat. These are things I may look at in the future depending on support and feedback. So please try it, and let me know if you have feedback.

Shoutout to @Hamza Ahmed for the crazy transformation! Niche: Personal development for young men. How: YouTube organic + NEW paid Skool community. Even though Hamza had a big audience, after expenses it was hard to made good profit. But then Hamza launched his paid Skool community and it changed the game! He made a 2.5 hour video explaining the details. And I made a 5 minute summary (for the busy people).

Affiliate signup on Skool Community The Skool Affiliate program is one of the best. I’ve built a number of tools in order to be a better affiliate of Skool and to help continue to grow this amazing community. I noticed recently that when creating a group from here, Sam always gets the affiliate credit. I think this is slightly unfair to the affiliates of Skool who are getting users to signup. Skool Community is one of the best entry points for users to see the value of Skool as a whole, and as such I send a lot of traffic to this group. I believe this group should honor pre-existing affiliate codes for users who ultimately choose to signup from here. I don’t think it’s fair to punish affiliates who want to show their potential signups this group. Does anyone else agree? Affiliates, please let me know what you think.

Good communities highlight their members. It's all about the members. That's YOU! We want YOU to share how you're using Skool so others can get ideas and learn. We'll give spot prizes (like Skool merch) to members who share something cool. If you share something people find useful — we'll promote you to our 800k email list, 134k YouTube subs, and put you on our website that gets millions of monthly visits. We created a new category called "How I'm using Skool". Check it out! If you want to share how you're using Skool, create a post in that category with a good title, a short description, and a quick (less than 5m) Loom video sharing your setup/use-case. Help us help you!

@Andrew Kirby stopped by Skool HQ the other day to hang out. We talked about Skool for 6 hours. He's doing some interesting things with his free group "Synthesizer School". He basically funnels his audience (social, email list, etc.) to his free group + mini-course. He builds a relationship with his audience in the group, and occasionally promotes his paid course. It works! The funnel: Audience → to Community → to Customers. Anyway... I got Kirby to create a "Free Group Funnel" mini-course sharing his process. If you have any questions, comment below, and I'm sure Kirby will help. Enjoy!

I say keep exploring Skool, I keep joining new groups, I wish there is a feature where you can organize the level of priority programs, so the one with the most priority can be on the top. Is this something I can do?

    @Tamás Tukszár The most liked comment won't always be the best comment. But it's more likely than just the first comment

When I was in LA with Sam, we talked about a new way of running an info-business, with community at the core. Many of us create content in order to build our business/grow our community. And the way most of us do it is using the OUTSIDE IN approach. I grew my YouTube channel by creating content for people OUTSIDE my audience to try to bring them INSIDE my audience. As a result, I was obsessed about algorithms, mass-market appeal, and attracting more more more. But there's a few problems with this approach: - Most of my focus was on marketing (bringing people in), and less was on product (making the people already here happy) - It was never clear to me WHO I was creating for. Because I was always creating for people who weren't already in my audience, it was difficult to imagine who they were, or what they liked. - There was always a slight difference between what my audience wanted, and what I needed to do to grow my audience. Difference groups wanted different things. This caused tension But what if we flip the model on it's head? Enter the INSIDE OUT approach. Instead of creating for people OUTSIDE your audience to try bring them IN. Create for people INSIDE of your audience, until they become raving fans, and they bring people OUTSIDE IN. If you have a community, make content for them. If you have a product, create for your customers. Then just share any content you make for them publicly. You can actually see Sam doing this by shutting down his podcast, and his talking head videos, and just reposting his Office Hours on his YouTube. - Now you get a few people who LOVE your content (which is better for niche fame, gets you 1000 true fans, and probably gets you more customers). Instead of trying to attract the attention of everyone, now you attract the attention of the RIGHT PEOPLE
