What I've observed from joining other Skools

Buying a Skool membership is like buying a video game.

When you buy it, you have high expectations. You’ve seen the gameplay, read the back of the game, etc., and if the gameplay is not good, or if there’s not enough content in the game, it feels like a letdown. Don’t let this be your community.

I've found that there needs to be a lot for the members to do. The course content needs to be appealing with captivating thumbnails. Also the courses should be things that unlock something in your member's journey. They should be the solution to their specific problems, which is why you have to know your members well.

But beyond the courses, their should be things for the members to do daily. Weekly calls are good. Daily calls or multiple times per week are better. But beyond that, there should be "side quests" for your members.

Weekly challenges
Posting their goals for the day
Doing something specific and posting it to complete the challenge

Obviously a highly engaged community will help, but if all there is to do is post/comment in the community, watch courses, and get on calls, it can get boring ): and this may lead to a high churn rate.

That's why, by adding side missions and "tasks" for your members to complete, you'll make being in your community 10X more fun and rewarding because they are actually doing things in the real world.

That's it. Just some observations I had while interacting with other communities. Hope it helps someone 🖤
