If you had the power to change, add or delete something on skool, what would it be?

I say it again and again: The true value in a post is often not in the post itself, but in the comments. I really like reading comments because you often find out about things there that have a really high value. Yes, many posts are great, but especially on Skool the value often lies in the exchange and what you find there. Thanks @Jonathan Boshoff for this great comment:-) lg Calvin

It's been a very busy 23 days.. in the best way possible! I want to share with you the details to either encourage or help you.. or avoid what I didn't do right. Yes, I could have done a few things better. This isn't a short post. Grab a snack and drink. Limitations: - No ads campaigns. - No active social media accounts. - No previous network off Skool was brought with me. - No camera. I do this faceless besides this one profile photo. (Yes, it is me.) - No babysitter. I am a single stay at home mom to a 3 year old boy. (Adoption, so it's just me.) 🔍 Full Transparency: I have been in the business and entrepreneurial world for almost 2 decades, so what I do have is experience that I brought with me. About a decade for online communities. However, I share the above, because starting from scratch can be tough and daunting at certain points. Face the fear and do it anyway. There are so many supportive people in this community that are willing to help, and there are so many very valuable communities that are free too. Knowledge + Action = Results. Good or bad results, they are still there for you to make adjustments and move forward. Okay enough of that so I don't sound like a thought leader. Results: - 151 members - Ton of Auto DM responses - 444 comments on the Welcome Post (Sorry Sam I know 444 is not lucky) - $51 in sales for my low ticket classroom ($3 low ticket/high value) - 30 Clarity Calls Completed - 16 Clarity Call Reviews Via Post or Comment - All Great Reviews Pinned To Booking Area - 10 Clarity Calls Booked To Do - 34 people have been added via the Invitation Competition (@Artin Asghari in the lead & @Ethan Brits close behind him) - 26.76% Conversion rate - 50% are still Level 1s - #138 rank in the Business Category for Discovery - Activity metrics are green some more than others. Today there are 252 activities already. - 7 Churned members. - Personal "Ahhhh" fan moment. When @Calvin Hollywood shouted out my community in Skool Games.. yeahhh you know the theme. I did tell my mom & some Skool besties. LOL

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?
