📣 How to Get Your First Few Members into Your Group (Without Any Fancy Tactics)

Hey ladies! Starting a Skool community from scratch can feel intimidating, but the good news is that it doesn’t take big tactics to get those first few members in. Here are some super simple ways to start building your community with people who genuinely want to be there.

1️⃣ Start with Your Inner Circle

Think about friends, family, or anyone you know who would resonate with the purpose of your group. They don’t have to be your exact “ideal member” just yet. Having a few familiar faces can help create a supportive, welcoming vibe that encourages others to join in. Plus, people who are in your life might know others who are the perfect fit, so don’t hesitate to ask them to invite someone who’d love it!

2️⃣ Social Media Shoutout

This one’s easy and totally within reach just share a post on your personal social media announcing your group. It could be as simple as, “Hey! I just started a community for [your group’s focus, like ‘moms creating side hustles’ or ‘women interested in wellness’]. If you’re interested or know someone who is, come join us!” Your friends and followers will feel invited to something meaningful, and it’s an easy way to reach people who already know and trust you.

3️⃣ Make the Community Itself a Free Resource

Invite people into your free community where they can get valuable tips, support, and inspiration. Give them a taste of the content, advice, and connection they’ll find inside. Position your group as a place where they can get access to practical help without feeling pressured to spend money right away just a space to explore, connect, and grow.

4️⃣ Share Value Right from the Start

Even if you have just a few members, start posting tips, conversation starters, or quick wins related to your group’s focus. This makes the group feel like a worthwhile place to be from the beginning. People who see value are more likely to invite others and spread the word, knowing they’re bringing friends into something truly beneficial.

5️⃣ If You Have an Email List, Reach Out!

If you already have an email list, even a small one, let them know about the group! You could say something like, “I’m starting a new community and would love to invite you in.” This gives people a warm invitation to be part of something fresh and valuable, without making them feel like they’re committing to anything too big.

Starting with these simple, natural steps can create a solid foundation for your group. You’re building a space people want to be in, not just adding members for the sake of numbers. Keep focusing on genuine value, and those first few members will turn into an engaged community before you know it.

You’ve got this! Excited to see the connections and impact you’ll create!
