What resources should I include in a "Start Here" classroom on Skool?
Based on the provided sources and our conversation history, here are the essential resources you should include in a "Start Here" classroom module to ensure effective onboarding and retention.
๐ญ. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ "๐ฅ๐๐น๐ฒ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ป๐ด๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐" & ๐๐๐น๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฒ
The most critical resource to include immediately is a clear breakdown of the community guidelines.
โข ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ถ๐ป๐ฐ๐น๐๐ฑ๐ฒ: Explicitly state what is allowed and what will get a member banned. This is vital to prevent spam and low-quality behavior.
โข ๐ช๐ต๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐: You want to set the tone immediately. As noted in the sources, you should send new members a link to a welcome post (or classroom module) that "breaks down the rules and anything that they need to follow" to ensure they understand the culture.
๐ฎ. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ "๐๐น๐ฎ๐๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐ผ๐บ ๐๐๐ป๐ป๐ฒ๐น" (๐๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฝ๐)
If you are running a free-to-paid model, your "Start Here" classroom should function as a sales mechanism rather than just a library of random content.
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฑ-๐ฉ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ผ ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐พ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ
Instead of overwhelming members, use a 5-video mini-course structure:
1. ๐ฆ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐: Overcome internal and external doubts.
2. ๐ข๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐๐ป๐ถ๐๐: Explain the "new mechanism" for success.
3. ๐๐ฎ๐น๐น ๐๐ผ ๐๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป (๐๐ง๐): A clear directive to book a call or join the paid group.
๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐
Include testimonials or case studies in this section. If you are promoting a paid offer, you "need to have proof" that your concept works. Including results from beta testers or free clients builds the trust required for a transaction.
๐ฏ. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ "๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐" ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ฒ (๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ด๐ป๐ฒ๐)
Your "Start Here" module is often the delivery mechanism for the hook that got them to join (referencing the "Zero Audience" strategy).
โข ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ฒ: If you ran ads or outreach promising a "Free Course" or "Template," this is where it lives.
โข ๐ฆ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ด๐: By placing this valuable asset in the "Start Here" classroom, you ensure every new member visits this tab, where they are then exposed to your rules and upsell offers.
๐ฐ. ๐ก๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป & "๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ช๐ถ๐ป" ๐๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ
Help members navigate the platform so they don't feel lost.
โข ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฅ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐บ๐ฎ๐ฝ: Explain where to find things (e.g., "Post 'Wins' in the Wins tab," "Ask questions in the Q&A tab").
โข ๐ ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ด๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป: You can explain how to categorize themselves. Use membership questions to determine if a user is a "beginner" or "advanced" so you don't give them the wrong advice. Your "Start Here" section can direct beginners to Module A and experts to Module B based on their level.
๐ฑ. ๐๐๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ข๐ป๐ฏ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ธ
While not a "resource" inside the classroom, you should use the ๐๐๐๐ผ ๐๐ feature to link directly to this "Start Here" module.
โข ๐๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป: Set up an Auto DM that says, "Welcome to the community! Please start by watching the video in the 'Start Here' classroom."
โข ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐๐น๐: This ensures 100% of new joins are funneled immediately into your onboarding process.
