Onboarding LinkedIn Contacts to Skool: Challenges & Solutions

I’ve recently started inviting some of my LinkedIn contacts to join my Skool community, and I’ve noticed a few recurring challenges in this transition:

Lack of Familiarity with Skool: Many of my contacts simply don’t know what Skool is, and they’re hesitant to sign up for yet another platform just to join my community.
Misconceptions About Skool’s Focus: There’s often confusion due to Skool’s emphasis on monetization and sales, while my community is entirely free. This mismatch creates a barrier in communicating the purpose of my group.
Concerns About Platform Costs: Some ask if there’s a fee to maintain a Skool account, which I realize could be a major hesitation for those unfamiliar with the platform.

I’m sure I’m not alone in facing these questions. So, I’m curious to know how others here handle the process of transitioning LinkedIn connections or leads into Skool communities.

One strategy I’m planning to try is sending a quick Loom video explaining how Skool works, showing them how to log in, and highlighting the opportunity to join other communities and benefit from the platform as a whole.

If anyone has additional tips or strategies for making this process smoother and more appealing, I’d appreciate hearing them. Thanks in advance for sharing your insights!
