@Cher V Both have a place depending on what you're trying to build — I actually use Skool as my primary community home and here's why I landed there over Substack. Substack is incredible for content distribution and building a reader relationship. The newsletter format is warm, personal, and searchable on the platform itself. But the "community" side is still pretty limited comments on posts don't replace the depth of conversation you get in a dedicated community space. Skool wins for me because the engagement is completely different. Members are actively participating, not passively reading. The gamification, the classroom, the chat, the ability to host events and sell directly inside the community it creates a whole ecosystem rather than just a content feed. That said I think they genuinely serve different purposes and the combo can work really well. Substack to attract and nurture cold audiences who aren't ready to join a paid or free community yet → Skool as the deeper home for your most engaged people. Substack is top of funnel, Skool is where the relationship deepens. The one thing I'd caution against is trying to maintain both at full effort simultaneously when you're just starting out. Pick the one that matches where your audience already is, build momentum there first, then layer in the second when you have systems to support it. Where is your audience most active right now? That's usually the answer to which one to start with. 👇
