I Made My Skool Community Public. Here’s What I’m Sharing Next 👇

🔥

2d • Posts

Over the next few days, I am going to be sharing a series of posts about public Skool communities. Public communities rarely get the spotlight they deserve for how powerful they can be.

It has been a long time coming, and I have gotten a lot of questions about this decision from people building on Skool, people considering it, and people trying to decide what direction to go.

So instead of making one long post that could turn into a novel, I wanted to break it down into a series of posts so we can cover everything properly and answer questions as they come up. ✍️✅

Here is what we will cover:

Why I made my Skool community public

Should you have a public Skool community or a private one?

Things to make sure you do if you go from private to public

What will help your public Skool community

Skool tips for a public community, including how to prevent spammers and low quality posts

And the Skool strategy I personally recommend and will lead by example with

After that, I will shift back to what this community is here for:

Resources and templates you can use.
New Skool videos and podcast episodes.
Highlighted communities that are worth checking out.
Posts about new Skool features and platform changes.
Breakdowns of how different Skool communities are structured and what is working.
Plus, little things I find across Skool that most people miss, like features, pages, or tools you might not know exist.

Yes, I did say a podcast! 🎤 I finally can announce that my podcast host Eric and I are launching a new one together! We had one when we first started on Skool two years ago, took a break, and now we are starting fresh with a new one focused on online communities and what actually works in practice.

So… who is

@Eric Howell

If you are building a Skool, it is really easy to feel like you should be able to do everything yourself. Content, community, offers, systems, traffic. And the truth is, you probably can.. I know I felt like that.

But traffic is the one piece that is too important to just stack on top of everything else and hope it works. It is what almost everyone struggles with, and it is the main reason good communities stay invisible.. or what's worse.. constantly looking for another easy hype way to hack it.

That is where Eric comes in! 🦸 Eric has been working in content and video for over 10 years. He has helped create thousands of videos and course materials, and his work has reached tens of millions of views across different platforms.

Yeah I know there are a lot of people who could say that, but the part that actually matters here is this. He is taking those skills and applying them to building a Skool. Not just making content, but figuring out what content, what formats, and what distribution actually drive traffic to communities. So instead of just being good at video or content creation, he is deep in the real problem most Skoolers have. Turning content into actual visibility, members, and growth.. that way your consistent effort will pay off.

He and I will be doing this podcast together. I bring the business and community side, he brings the traffic side. And together, we will be seeking out people who are actually building real communities and getting real results, so we can break down what is working and why.

We are both going to be running free public communities as part of our plans, so if you want to be one of the first in his free public community when he launches, you can request to join here. It will be opening soon. 🤩

👇 We already have a few guests in mind and lined up. Who do you want to hear from?

Every day Skoolers! 🤗
