I've been thinking about this for at least a year... and the more I think about it, I'm convinced that the easiest way to make your community THE BEST is to narrow its focus. This isn't about "the riches are in the niches." This is about being able to "give away the farm" inside of your community while NOT reducing the likelihood that someone would invest in your paid course(s)/offerings. If you want to make your community THE BEST (and dominate your niche), spend some time thinking about what single area of your community you could narrow the focus of your community to. For our 55,000+ person dental community, we ONLY talk about clinical tips and techniques. We don't discuss staffing, marketing, buying materials, insurance, patient follow-up, or anything else. So, if you have a community about tennis, try to figure out ONE element of tennis to discuss. Maybe that's serving techniques, mental toughness, tennis-specific fitness, footwork, or how to hit the perfect tweener. Doing this will allow you to give give give and hold NOTHING back. This makes it more likely that you’re helping people in your community. It builds your authority and trust while elevating your chances that people in your community will invest in your course(s)/offer. If you want to brainstorm what your narrow-focused topic could be, leave a comment below with the niche that you're in.

Two things: 1. How do I block someone who started spamming other members? 2. I recently switched to a free group, but some members are still being charged. How do I switch them to free? Thanks.

Just hit a record month & made $200,000 USD from my free Skool community. Total ad spend: less than $5,000. Here are 2 mistakes I see 99% of people on Skool making, including many Skool games winners who I spoke with in Vegas last week. • Mistake #1: Not having a free Skool community. Going directly from an ad/social media to a paid group looks sexy on paper, I agree. But the reality is: A free Skool community nurtures leads & gets them to convert at a rate like nothing else I've ever seen. With a free Skool community, you can nurture leads in 4 ways: 1) The DM's (auto-dm to kick things off) 2) The community feed 3) The classroom 4) The calendar All without ever coming across as salesy! • Mistake #2: Telling people to join your free Skool community. I used to tell people to "jOiN mY fReE SkOoL cOmMuNiTy!" but nobody was joining :( I thought it was an issue with Skool. But then I started doing something insane... I started leveraging human psychology and talking to people about their DREAM OUTCOMES and frustrations. I started saying stuff like: "If you want to achieve <dream outcome> in <X timeframe> without <pain/effort/frustration>, click here to download my new free training that shows you how." And then I'd link them to my free Skool community. Guess what happened? People joined by the TRUCK LOAD. Turns out, nobody gives a 💩 about your free Skool community - until they're in it. To get them to join in the first place, you need to use bait. The best bait I've found? Free (GENUINELY HELPFUL) stuff like courses, pdf's, etc. that help people achieve their specific dream outcome in a specific time frame without a specific pain point. Hold nothing back in your free content. Give give give. Upsell the DFY/Done-With-You implementation - but give away all the DIY instructions. Growth has been insane ever since I started taking the above 👆 seriously. $200,000 in 30 days!!! Hope this helps, Ted P.S. I've attended 5 Skool Games events in Las Vegas and even a lot of the top winners don't know this stuff... but once they implement it, they make even MORE money.

What’s better?

When you visit Skool, What are you hoping for MOST. Obviously we like all these things but what is the 1, most critical thing? -*don’t be a smart Alec and say “all of them” or “for community” the point is to find out the #1 reason you go to a community
