Every day, community builders are told to...
๐ Get more members.
๐ฃ Post more content.
๐ฅ Increase engagement.
But what if those aren't the first problems to solve?
Over the past several weeks, we've been studying communities from a different perspective.
Not asking...
"How do I grow my community?"
Instead asking...
"How do I design a community that actually works for the people it's meant to serve?"
Because here's what we've noticed:
A mastermind shouldn't be built like a support group.
A learning community shouldn't be measured the same way as a networking community.
A paid membership shouldn't be expected to engage like a free one.
Different communities have different purposes.
So why does so much community building advice assume the same strategy works for everyone?
That's the conversation we're exploring inside Skoolology. Not another "grow your community" community.
A learning lab for community builders who want to make intentional design decisions based on their members, their purpose, and their vision.
Because we're convinced of one thing...
Healthy communities aren't copied.
They're designed.
๐ฌ I'm curious...
What's one piece of community building advice you've heard that just didn't fit your community?
