Your Email List Can’t Do This 😎
I have nearly 10,000 people on my email list.
And you know how many people regularly reply to my emails?
Not many. 😂
That’s the weird thing about building an audience.
You can have thousands and thousands of subscribers, followers, viewers, and customers . . .
. . . but if YOU are always the one doing the talking, you don’t really have a community.
You have an audience.
And there’s a HUGE difference.
That’s why moving my free LEAP community from Facebook to Skool in December completely changed my business.
I went from zero to 1,300+ Skool members in just 8 months.
For comparison, it took me more than 5 YEARS to grow my old Facebook group to around 2,000 people.
And hardly anybody talked in there. Crickets, baby. 🦗
Here's What Skool Changed:
People see my posts.
They reply.
They ask questions.
They help each other.
They DM me.
They talk about my products.
They buy!!!
I’m even currently #364 on Skool’s Discovery page in the Self-Improvement category.
So here are 5 reasons your business needs a Skool community too.
⭐ 1. Your audience can TALK BACK. ⭐
Email is fantastic. I make most of my money through email, and I’m certainly not giving it up.
But email is mostly me talking TO my subscribers.
Skool is a conversation.
People can ask questions, share wins, get feedback, respond to each other, and actually get to know the humans in the room.
Stop building an audience that only consumes. Build a community that PARTICIPATES.
⭐ 2. Your members help YOU run the community. ⭐
This might be my favorite part.
I don’t have to be the only expert answering every question.
Members help each other!
They recommend resources.
They share what worked for them.
They celebrate each other.
They mentor people who are a few steps behind them.
That means the community can keep buzzing even when I’m not actively posting.
It becomes much more self-sustaining than a feed where everyone waits for ME to create the next piece of content.
⭐ 3. Your customers naturally sell your stuff for you. ⭐
Not because you told them to, but because they’re having conversations.
Someone asks, “How do I get more clients?”
And another member might say, “Oh! Sage has a training about that. I loved it.”
THAT is powerful.
Your happiest customers become walking social proof because your audience can actually SEE people discussing your offers, implementing what you teach, and getting results.
⭐ 4. DMs turn community members into CLIENTS. ⭐
This is the biggie.
More than 90% of my Goodbye 9-to-5 Mastermind clients come from conversations I start inside my Skool community.
I’m not blasting strangers with awkward sales pitches.
I’m TALKING to people.
“What are you working on?”
“What’s your goal?”
“Where are you stuck?”
“What are you trying to earn?”
And when my big offer is genuinely the right solution, I can lead that person toward the next conversation.
You can’t expect people to invest in your biggest offers while refusing to actually GET TO KNOW THEM.
Skool makes those conversations ridiculously easy.
⭐ 5. It can become the HUB of your business. ⭐
This isn’t just another social media feed.
You can have a Classroom filled with trainings and resources.
You can organize events.
You can create automations.
You can DM members easily.
You can see who’s participating.
And instead of begging an algorithm to please, pretty please, show your content to the people who already asked to hear from you . . .
YOUR PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY THERE. 🙌
For me, switching from Facebook groups to Skool meant:
✅ More engagement.
✅ More conversations.
✅ More visibility.
✅ More sales.
✅ And WAY fewer crickets.
If you’ve been trying to grow your client base with nothing but emails and social media posts, I want you to consider adding the missing piece:
A place where your people can become a COMMUNITY.
Your audience shouldn’t just know YOU.
They should know each other.
That’s when things start getting REALLY interesting. 🔥
