I've been sharing my communities progress day-by-day to help newcomers on their Skool journey.
Here's another one 😇
Within two weeks, my free writing community has climbed to 594 in the global Skool rankings. Not gunna lie, I'm still trying to determine what this actually means for discovery. I suspect it doesn't mean much until you break into the top 30 & make it onto the homepage. Cool nonetheless.
Here are some recent lessons I've learned:
🥇 Post in Skool Games, Skool Community & Skool Masterclass often.
All of us are on the same journey, & this feed is like a street team on steroids. Everyones hyped to support, & I’ve had several people join my community after seeing my posts, many of whom have become top contributors (if that's you, thanks!).
🥇 Don't underestimate your free community.
Even if you're unsure how to upsell to paid right now, building a thriving free community of hundreds or thousands will naturally lead to revenue. A concentrated collective with shared interests brings immaculate vibes, and even if you begin by offering locked upsells in your free community, people will naturally opt-in if your product or offer is compelling enough.
🥇 Free calls with members to identify your core offering is underrated.
Don’t be a lazy NPC. You built your community for a reason, and you’ve seen how fast communities can grow here. Avoid the trap of thinking you have all the answers. In the first month, offer free calls to your members & let them book your time through Calendly. Ask them what they are looking for. This way you won't waste months working on something that no one actually wants.
That's it from meeee, hope this helped 🌹
