I want to share a win today. I started this group on November 25, 2025. In less than 2 months we've reach 200 members. This is the fastest I've ever grown a community. And it was 100% organic traffic. I did not run a single paid ad. The traffic strategy is going to be part of what I'm building. If you want to be included click here and vote "YES" to join the waitlist. Thank you for helping hit this milestone! P.S. What is everyone up to this weekend? We are inside all weekend in Chicago as the temps are -20 with the wind chill 🥶

Well, being new I haven't finished everything in the classroom, but I really have the three-idea-virus. We'll have to talk about it on our call as I really like all three, but I understand the importance of picking one to focus on.
Using a Skool Community to Validate an Online Business Idea
When I opened this community on November 25th, I didn’t have a big launch plan. I had one very specific goal: Solve one problem for one group of people. That problem was simple… “What online business should I start?” Fast forward to today (January 10th): • 155 members • 37.7% About Page conversion rate • Grown mostly through YouTube and email • This group is the lead magnet • This group is the email list No funnels. No daily posting hamster wheel. Just one public Skool community built around one clear problem. Here’s why I’m sharing this… A lot of people in here have told me they’re not ready for Mindset Skool yet, and that’s completely fine. There’s no rush and no pressure. But I am curious about something. Would it be helpful to you to see exactly how I used a public Skool community like this as: • A lead magnet • A way to gather the right people • A place to validate ideas before building products • An audience you actually own • A clean path to eventually flipping paid (when it makes sense) This post is me doing what I teach. I have an idea. I’m validating it before building anything. If there’s interest, I’ll put something together that goes deeper on the mechanics, decisions, and mistakes... likely as a small paid resource inside the classroom or a paid tier. If you’re already in Mindset Skool, you already have access to this stuff. This would be for people who want to go deeper without jumping there yet. So let me ask you directly… Would you want to learn how to use a public Skool community as a lead magnet to validate ideas and build an audience? Leave your vote below ⬇️

So really finding this info helpful for clarification. Once finding a subject validated for monetization, one would launch a new community versus a course inside your initial community? I'll have to check out mindset SKOOL obviously. But I'm trying to get my head around where the structure an idea inside an existing community or creating a separate community totally focused on the one idea as I'm learning here.

@Brian O'Neill perfect and it makes sense.
Multiple communities on Skool
I am curious about what people's thoughts are on having multiple communities in different niches. For example, I want to have my main community become my main income earning business eventually, but I also have strong interests in several other create areas.

@Brian O'Neill I think this clarifies my question as to whether to have a separate community. I think I can take my idea and keep it inside my current and main community.
Youtube stream
I was wondering if we can go live on Youtube and share our screen like we can in the skool group or if we need an add on like OBS? I'm very new at Youtube stream, and wish it was as easy as what skool offers! How do I set it up?

@Stephanie Klotz yes I don't let the watermark bother me for lives. And I've never had anyone even mention it let alone complain about it.
