I joined this group a couple days ago, and I hopped over to the leaderboard tab just to see how the levels are named, and was shocked lol. If my math is correct, that’s 162,635 people 🤯 Why do you think this is?

I've been active on Skool for over a year now, and I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about why some people stick around while others leave. In my opinion, people stay on a platform when they truly understand it—both technically and in terms of how to use it effectively. 💡 Here’s my key thought: When you bring people from social media into your Skool community, their first interaction is with Skool itself, not your community. This is so important to understand. Our goal should be to make new members like Skool as a platform. If they enjoy using it, they’ll stick around and log into your community regularly. I believe a lot of new members drop off and go back to social media because they don’t fully connect with Skool. 💡 𝗦𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆’𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝘄𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆’𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗹. So, what should we do? Skool makes it super easy for us since it’s really user-friendly and self-explanatory. We don’t need to spend too much time explaining how the platform works technically—maybe just add a few tips in the onboarding process. But what’s even more significant, I think, is explaining how Skool is different from social media. Here, it’s not about endlessly posting about yourself or mindlessly scrolling. It’s about being active and engaging in conversations. That’s something we should highlight during onboarding. Conclusion New members engage with the platform first, and only then with your community—especially if they’re coming from social media. We need to meet them where they are and guide them the right way. If we can get these new members to genuinely like Skool (the way we do), they’ll stay, join multiple communities, and everyone benefits. So, we should all ask ourselves: "What can we do to make new members love Skool and want to stay?" What do you think?

What's makes you suspicious of someone on Skool

I literally created my community 12 hours ago. (sound the noob alarm) What's one piece of advice you would go back and give yourself?

❓Curious if you find yourself on IG, FB, TT, X, etc. less or more than you used to be or if it's about the same... I've only been here for about 3.5 months, but I'm finding I spend less and less time on other platforms as time goes on. I was already not very active on SM and had been looking/hoping for something else. I still check in occasionally on my family/friends, and I know I'll probably need to show up more as I grow my new business, but for now as I'm creating and building, Skool has what I need (to feel part of an authentic, engaged, & trustworthy group of likeminded/likehearted people with similar goals.)
