If you've seen me mention Skool Growth Lab before but haven't checked it out, just a quick heads-up. I've been building it around a pretty simple idea: Figure out where your Skool is stuck → fix that → move to the next thing. Depending on where you are, that might mean: Building the foundation — getting clearer on your niche, creating better posts and ideas, finding collaborations, getting listed in the directory, and learning from successful Skool communities. Finding what's holding you back — improving your About page, fixing onboarding drop-off, strengthening your offer, understanding your members better, collecting testimonials, or building courses. Or building a complete growth system — reverse-engineering successful Skools, creating your Growth Flywheel, and building stronger transformation paths for your members. You can try Skool Growth Lab free for 7 days and actually use it with your own community to see if it helps. One reason I'm mentioning it now is that the monthly tiers are changing on October 1st: Core: $8 → $17/month Premium: $24 → $37/month VIP: $49 → $67/month So if you've been curious, this gives you a week to get inside, try it on your own Skool, and decide for yourself whether it's useful. No pressure to upgrade or stick around if it isn't. 7 days free to try it.

They look for someone with a big audience. I'd rather find someone with the right audience. A good collaboration partner doesn't do what you do. They do something that fits naturally as an extension of your offer. Instead, look for someone who: ✅ Serves the same type of people ✅ Solves a different problem for them ✅ Has something genuinely useful for your members ✅ Would benefit from what YOU can bring to their audience For example, a fitness community might collaborate with a nutrition, sleep, mobility or healthy-aging community. Same people. Different problems. And you don't need to start with some huge partnership. 🎙️ Podcast swap 🎓 Guest training 📧 Newsletter swap 📹 YouTube collaboration 💬 Joint Q&A 🎁 Resource swap 🤝 Community introduction Start small.

I used to do this a lot when I first started. Every post, piece of content, video all pointed back to Join My Skool. What I didn't realize was that not everyone is ready to do that the first time they meet you. Someone who just met you 30 seconds ago probably isn't at the same place as someone who's been following you for three months. So rather than ending everything with “Join my community,” think about what the next small step should be. Maybe it's: → Answer a question → Comment with their experience → Try the tip you just shared → Read another post → Watch a video → Grab a free resource → Take a quick assessment → Or, when it makes sense, check out your community The CTA should match where the person is right now. If they're just discovering you, give them an easy next step. If they already know you and understand the problem you solve, ask for a bigger one. Take a look at the last few promotional posts you used to for your Skool. Did the CTA feel like the natural next step? Or did you jump straight to JOIN?
