I have not been on Skool that long but this is for sure my favorite place to be at the moment. I'm having so much fun here and I just wanted to share 3 things I've learned since joining Skool and working with the communities with @Ryan Duncan and @Dave Heraud 1. Building trust within online communities begins with transparent communication. 💬 Creating trust within a Skool community starts with being open and honest in how we communicate and what we communicate. Using Gifs has been a fantastic way for us to break barriers and foster a community where people go to have fun and enjoy themself. Why so serious right? I also believe it's about creating a safe space for people to feel comfortable giving their opinions. Someone who has also done a great job of this in their community is @The Mind Supply 2. Less is more 😌 On the Skool games ceremony, Alex mentioned today how less is more. When there's less to process or understand, it's easier for people to grasp the message or concept within a community. Having fewer distractions allows for better concentration on what truly matters, leading to deeper understanding or appreciation and also deeper connections that allow you to retain members for longer. A concise message or a minimalist design can often have a more significant impact. 3. Focus on the small things while you build 🤏 Small wins count just as much as big wins. Take it step by step: Don't overwhelm yourself by looking at the big picture all at once. Break down the process into smaller, achievable tasks. Just focus on one thing at a time, like setting up your about page or connecting with other people. And lastly, remember your why: Think about why you wanted to start this community in the first place. Keeping your purpose front and center can help you stay focused and driven. What have you learned since joining Skool?

A really unique community engagement strategy I am implementing is using the calendar for learning times. I've noticed that when only 1-3 calls a week are schedule there is a lot of dead space in the community. And it seems that not many members are ticking of that they have completed the classrooms!!! So what I am doing is scheudling 'learning hours' inside of my paid groups that are basically there to prompt people to watch the content. This is also a really good way to get them to watch the content prior to a call, and keeps them inside your community longer! You can add a link inside of the calendar tab and it will work the same as your calls. They just click the link to the classroom and they can watch it right away! Please try this and let me know if it makes a difference in your community!

I’m wondering if there’s a way to search for the members name inside our own community. I wanted to see if they already signed up yet before I reach out to them. If not it will be a good feature to have.

I just wanted to share my excitement from going from analysis paralysis to actually launching!!! 😂😂🥰🙏🏼 I have a question of when you decided to go from free to pay if that was the route you chose? Or if you went straight to paid how much you started charging? And if it’s free, how many members would you like to have before moving to paid?

Hi, so I had some questions and they didn't answer them to join so I declined them. But wanted to tell them why but their info disappeared. How do I contact them?
