Many community owners get stuck scripting and recording courses, only to spend weeks creating content nobody asked for. In many cases, they disappear to build courses, which can also hurt community engagement and growth. A simpler approach is to create a Google Doc and a short 5–10 slide presentation for each topic, then teach it live to your existing members and record the session with Loom. This also helps you to build the course with your members instead of guessing what they want. It keeps the content relevant, provides real-time feedback, and helps you validate demand before investing more time. End each session with a Q&A, the questions and discussions often become the most valuable part of the course.

I see many community owners are asking how to grow their community so here’s how you do it 1. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 (𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁) First you have to choose a niche that is in demand and solves real problems. If your niche doesn’t provide real value, growing a community becomes extremely difficult. 2. 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗮 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 Give people a reason to join by offering them a free mini course, free templates, exclusive guides, and weekly live coaching. For example you can say: "𝙅𝙤𝙞𝙣 𝙢𝙮 𝙎𝙠𝙤𝙤𝙡 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 10 𝘼𝙄 𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨" 3. 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝘁𝗼 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰 Most Skool communities grow from external platforms like: - Instagram - Youtube - LinkedIn - TikTok Increase and drive audience from social media by making content like tutorials, case studies, “How I did this” posts etc. At the end say smth like: “Join my Skool community for the full guide.” 4. 𝗛𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗹𝘆 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 When members see you live, hear your voice, and interact in real time, it feels more personal and authentic. This helps them trust you more than just reading posts or messages. 5. 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 Share case studies because nothing attracts people more than results. Examples: “𝙅𝙝𝙤𝙣 𝙢𝙖𝙙𝙚 $1,000 𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙙” “𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙎𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙝 𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙙 10𝙠 𝙛𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙞𝙣 30 𝙙𝙖𝙮𝙨” 6. 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗢𝗻𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 When people join: - Welcome them - Ask them to introduce themselves - Direct them to the first lesson This increases retention. 7. 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮 𝘃𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 Create a welcoming and growth-focused onboarding experience by setting a warm emotional tone, giving clear first steps, personally welcoming members, guiding them to early wins, encouraging to give introductions, keeping the environment simple and supportive, staying active in the beginning, and clearly showing the community’s culture from day one. 8. 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 Increase engagement in your community so it feels vibrant, active, and welcoming, where members enjoy participating, sharing, and coming back regularly.

First, we repositioned our Instagram to align with our offer. We used a simple strategy: analyzing successful creators in our niche. We analyzed the type of content they were creating and identified what was already working in the market. Then we researched trending editing styles and retention patterns so that we can make our reels attention-grabbing and engaging Then we modeled our reels according to analytics while adding powerful hooks (to capture viewer’s attention) and smart CTAs (to drive them into our community) Then we focused on consistency, posting 2–3 times per week. And BOOM the strategy started working. Our reels began consistently hitting 40K–200K views, eventually turning Instagram into a funnel for driving community members. ❓❓What’s your strategy to drive traffic from other platforms❓❓
