If you are new to Skool, one of the most common questions is what the difference is between Skool and Skoolers. Mark Novikov, Creator Success Manager on the Skool team, recently started a YouTube channel and shared this video explaining what Skoolers is, how it is different from the Skool platform, and what you get access to inside the Skoolers community. What is Skool? Skool is the platform. Skool is where all communities are hosted. When you create a Skool account, you can start your own community, invite members, post content, and choose whether your community is free or paid. Your Skool community is your space and you decide how it runs. What is Skoolers? Skoolers is a community for Skool owners. Skoolers is a private community inside Skool. It is only for people who own a Skool community. Skoolers is not the Skool platform itself. It is a place where community owners talk specifically about building, growing, and managing communities on Skool. That difference matters. Skoolers is where people share what is working on Skool, what they are testing, and what they are learning as they grow their communities. Posts in Skoolers should always be related to Skool or community building. Promotion of your own community or unrelated topics should stay inside your own Skool community or a community on that topic. Inside the Skoolers community, there are a few key areas worth knowing about. The Classroom This includes Skool 101, created by the founder and leadership team. It walks through how to use Skool, how to set up your community, how to get members, how monetization works, and how to reduce churn. Skool News Weekly updates that cover new Skool features, product changes, and platform updates. This is one of the easiest ways to stay up to date on what is changing inside Skool.

Being considered a Skool "Power User", I'm in a lot of communities.. But I don't see that as a bad thing. One of the signs that someone is going to stick around on the platform is when they get plugged in and are a part of several communities! There are a mix of people in here.. some OGs, some who have been around a bit, & some brand new. I want to know how many communities you're in and what makes you join and stay in a community? Be as specific as you want to be :) This will be helpful for those who are wanting and working on creating a community worth joining and investing time to really become a member. 🫶

This is the moment a lot of people have been waiting for.. & you don't want to miss it! @Matthew Thompson, the man behind the Skool Stories Podcast that spotlighted the best lessons from top Skool builders, is back on Skool!! If you do not know him yet, here is why this matters.. He is launching a community that can change lives while also giving you a front row seat to how a successful Skool launch is built using the 7 Day Free Trial! His new community, The Screen Time Challenge, is designed to help you reclaim one month a year from screens in just 15 minutes a day. The first 7 days are free and if you finish, you are automatically entered into a $1,000 giveaway! 🎁 After that you can keep building momentum inside the community. 🧙‍♂️ The real magic is how he has set it up. This is a textbook example of how to structure a sticky challenge and grow it fully through Affiliates! This is another thing you should be paying attention to as you're either building your own community or supporting one. Now, I wouldn't be sharing this with you, unless I believed in the community and in the 7 day challenge itself. I have gone through 6 days already and seen a huge change for myself and for others going through it. The way Matthew has set up each day with his structure.. it's majorly impressive and very doable for many on the subjects they want to share with a community and succeed with! It made me realize not only does this help you get out of the constant "learning without applying" mode and start implementing, but you gain time to create something successful that you get to hands on experience. I fully believe this is the way more people should be using Skool and it needs to be studied. 🔍 I had this thought that I've paid $297 for a course before to learn how to do xyz for my business, and that's what this is like. But if I'm honest.. some of those $297 courses, I never opened or did at all. 🫣
