A lot of people think they need a big fancy website.
Here's the truth: most websites sit there collecting dust while youโre trying to figure out what to put on them, how to update them, and how to get anyone to even see them.
Meanwhile, Skool quietly does what business owners actually need: - brings people together
- keeps them engaged
- builds trust & loyalty
- makes offers easier
- and helps you stay connected without extra tech
Letโs break down why a simple Skool community usually does a better job than a traditional website. 1. Websites wait - Communities connect
A website is basically a digital brochure.
While it might be nice to have it doesnโt do much by itself.
A Skool community, even a tiny one, lets people: - interact
- ask questions
- share wins
- see what youโre all about
- get support
People stick around because they feel something, not because they read something.
2. Websites need traffic. Skool generates traffic Websites sit alone on the internet waiting for people show up.
- built-in discovery search
- millions of people searching
- billions of views daily
- filter by categories
- leaderboards spotlights
- a million more active members every 2 weeks
- trending posts pinned for extra visibility
When you post inside a Skool community, people are more likely to actually see it in relevant timing. Skool is a platform where showing up benefits you. A website is a place where you do all the work yourself.
3. Websites cost money. Skool can make you money. Websites cost:
- hosting
- plugins
- updates
- designers
- maintenance
- management
- memberships
- upgrades
- classrooms
- community tiers
- affiliate income
- simple intro offers
- fast ways to earn before youโre โreadyโ
And itโs all in one space you donโt have to babysit.
4. Websites get stale. Skool stays fresh. Most websites freeze in time.
...Last updated: ๐คท who even knows.
A Skool community updates every time: - someone comments
- you post something
- a member shares an idea
- you add a video
- someone joins
Activity keeps people coming back.
Websites donโt do that.
5. Websites are lonely. Skool creates belonging. People donโt bond with a homepage.
They bond with:
- stories
- conversations
- people
- support
- shared problems
- shared solutions
A Skool community (even a simple one) feels like a friendly space, not a sales page. People buy when they feel connected not when they're feeling sold.
6. You donโt need to be โtechyโ to run Skool If you can:
- write a post
- upload a video
- reply to a comment
- or show up once in a while
โฆ then you can run a Skool. Itโs simple on purpose.
Skool works better when you keep things simple: - a few posts
- a few resources
- one clear focus
- consistent connection
You don't need to be a content machine.
Just be a human who shows up and helps people.
Soโฆ do you need a website?
Maybe at some point.
If you're choosing between:
- a website that sits still and stagnates
- a community that grows with you
โฆthen Skool wins almost every time. You can always build a website and create content and never connect with anyone.
That might get you a few sales here and there.
If you start connecting with people, providing useful insights, solving problems and building trust,
that's when you start attracting beautiful money that flows freely because you have built something magnetic that people love so much they invite friends and shout praises attracting more members that become raving fans.
