It's time to celebrate each other! In the COMMENTS BELOW, please share a Skool community you think is doing really great things. It can be one you've participated in yourself or one that you've heard from others is amazing. Please do the following: 1. Tell us the name of the community and link to it (affiliates allowed). 2. Tag the person who owns the community. If they are not in the CLASSIFIEDS, then please send them a DM and let them know that you mentioned them here. I promise you will make their day! 3. Describe why the group is so wonderful and how it has helped you. Please DO NOT just copy and paste the About page! 4. Comment on each others comments and scroll through the referrals to see if there's an amazing group you are missing out on! Thanks so much for supporting each other and this community! Please note that any #FriendFriday mentions that are created as new posts will be deleted. Thanks! Please DO NOT promote yourself. 🤨. The entire community is for promoting yourself. This post is for celebrating someone else. 😊

Try searching for your niche in Skool Discovery. Do you actually show up where you'd expect? Skool's search has gotten a lot better at understanding what people are looking for — including topics and even misspellings. That makes this a good little test for your group: Go into Discovery and search the way a potential member might. Don't search your group name. Search the problem you solve, who you help, or the topic you teach and see what comes up. If your group isn't showing where you'd expect, take another look at your group name, description and About page. Sometimes we describe our groups in a way that makes perfect sense to us...but isn't necessarily how someone looking for help would search for it. Worth testing. It only takes a couple minutes. BONUS: Check the About Pages for some of the groups that do come up. Make special note of their name, short description, copy and how clearly they explain how they help and how. Then compare that to your own page. Do you come up for the searches you thought you would?

If you aren't collecting and showcasing testimonials, you're leaving new members on the table. When someone visits your Skool About page, they're asking themselves one question: "Has this actually worked for people like me?" Your About page tells your story. Your testimonials prove it. That's why every Skool Growth Lab member gets a FREE public testimonial page that's indexed by search engines and designed to build trust before someone ever joins your community. Your page helps you: ✅ Showcase your best member success stories ✅ Share one simple link anywhere online ✅ Get discovered through Google and other search engines ✅ Build credibility with real social proof ✅ Send more qualified visitors to your Skool About page Every testimonial is reviewed and approved by you before it appears, so you're always in complete control. Setup only takes a few minutes, and once it's live, it becomes a marketing asset that keeps working for you 24/7. If you've already helped people... don't let those wins disappear into old comments, DMs, or buried posts. Put your proof where everyone can see it. Need a hand getting yours set up? Just send me a message—I'm happy to help. 🧪 See you in the Lab... let's get growing!

Here’s a simple way to spot things you might be overlooking in your Skool. Set it to “View as a member” and have a spouse, friend or family member go through it. Start them on your About Page and don’t help them. Just watch. Can they tell what your community is about? Do they know where to start? What do they click? Where do they get confused? And every time you want to say, “Oh, you just need to click here…” write it down. When we work on our own Skools every day, everything makes sense to us. Sometimes you just need a fresh set of eyes to show you what doesn’t.

We find the Skool community owner. Notice how they stare patiently at the screen... waiting for engagement. A member appears. The owner remains perfectly still. They've commented. Remarkable. The owner quickly responds before the member can escape back into the wilderness. But survival in the Skool ecosystem requires more than patience. A clear niche helps attract the right members. A good onboarding experience gets them moving. Useful conversations keep them returning. And an offer people actually understand gives the community a reason to exist. This particular Skool owner has discovered Skool Growth Lab — a place where community owners can experiment, compare what's working, use growth tools, and figure out what might be holding their community back. Will the community flourish? Will engagement return? Will someone finally finish that 17-module Classroom course? Nature... finds a way. 👉 Come explore Skool Growth Lab.
