📌Welcome to Skoolology!
We're so glad you're here. 👋 If you're building a community and wondering... - Why aren't my members engaging? - What should I improve first? - How do I build a community people don't want to leave? You're in the right place. Skoolology is a learning community for community builders who want to stop guessing and start improving. Together, we study what works, test ideas in real communities, and learn from each other's experiments. Before we talk about your community... Let's get to know you. 👋 Your first step takes about 10 seconds. 👇Drop ONE WORD in the comments below. It might be: • A value you live by. • A word that describes the community you're building. • Or simply a word that's meaningful to you today. We'll create something special from your word and welcome you personally. ❤️ We read every single one. Your next step When you've posted your word, head over to the next pinned post and take the 5-minute Community Snapshot. It will help you discover exactly what to improve next. Welcome! Donna & Todd Learn. Build. Lead.

📌What Should You Improve Next in Your Community?
Most community builders don't need more ideas.🚦 They need to know what deserves their attention first. Maybe... • Members join but disappear. • Conversations depend on you. • You're working harder than ever but aren't seeing the progress you hoped for. • You know something needs attention...you just don't know what. The truth is... You can't improve everything at once. The fastest way to build a healthier community is to identify the one area that will create the biggest impact. That's why we created the Community Snapshot. In about 5 minutes, you'll discover: ✅ Your community's strongest area. ✅ Your biggest opportunity for improvement. ✅ The one thing I'd focus on first. Your first win isn't a perfect community. It's finally knowing what to improve next. 👉 Step 1 and 👉 Step 2 Access the free SkoolMe Snapshot and share your results here: 📊 Community Snapshot Results & Personalized Feedback I'll personally help interpret your scores and suggest where I'd begin. 👉 Step 3 Ready to improve your score instead of simply knowing it? Join this month's 30-Day Community Improvement Sprint. One month. One focus. One meaningful improvement. Because better communities aren't built by guessing. They're built by improving the right thing at the right time.

🔨 In the Build: Bring Us Into It
In the Build is where we bring the work that is still...well...in the build. 😂 Not just the finished version. The graphic you’re deciding between. The offer you’re testing. The post that got crickets. The community you’re getting ready to open. The idea that makes perfect sense in your head but isn’t quite translating yet. The thing that WORKED and now you’re wondering why. The little win that happened before you’ve reached the finish line. This is the messy middle. And we think there’s a whole lot we can learn from each other here. When we created In the Build, we kept coming back to four questions: What are you trying? What are you wondering? What would help? What are you learning? A few of you have since reminded us of something important... Sometimes knowing you’re welcome to post isn’t enough. It helps to know how to start. So if the blank post box is staring back at you, here’s a little shape you can borrow: What I’m building: Who it’s for: Where I am right now: What I’m working on next: What would help: That’s it. Use all five. Use two. Ignore the whole thing and tell us the story your way. 😂 This is a starting point, not a formula. Explorer Panda would approve. 🐼🧭 You don’t need the whole map. You just need to show us where you are right now. Then keep us in the build. You don’t need to create a brand-new post every time something happens. Come back to your original Build and tell us: What I tried: What happened: What I’m wondering now: Over time, that thread becomes something pretty cool. It becomes a record of the decisions, experiments, wrong turns, little wins, surprises, and changes that got you from there to here. And those are surprisingly hard to see when you’re the one doing the building. When someone lets you into their build, come alongside them. This may be my favorite part. You do NOT need to have the answer. Ask a question. Tell them what you notice. Share something you tried. Look at the graphic. Click through the page.

Happy Halloween, humans!🎃👻🐈‍⬛️
Nick here. Reporting live from Skoolology. Apparently, today is the day humans dress up, knock on strangers' doors, and demand treats. I've been doing that in my own house for months, and Mom calls it BEGGING. Double standards, people. Double standards. Anyway, I hope your day is full of treats, absolutely no tricks, and plenty of naps. And remember, if something scary jumps out at you, just do what I do. Run sideways, puff up your tail, and blame the dog. We don't have a dog, but I blame one anyway. Love, Nick P.S. Mom says I look adorable in this hat. I'm currently reviewing my options for a new management team.
Happy Halloween, humans!🎃👻🐈‍⬛️
🎙️ Behind the Build: It's Auli's Turn in the Spotlight!
Auli Takala is joining Todd and me for Behind the Build this Wednesday, and I'm really looking forward to it! ❤️ Some of you may remember that Auli recently invited me to be a guest on her Backstage Roadshow. We had such a wonderful conversation, and now we get to turn the tables on her! 😂 Wednesday, November 4, at 12 PM Central We're going to get to know the woman behind Backstage. What inspired her to build it, what she's learning along the way, and what it means to create a place where other people can be seen and discovered. And there's something else I want to share about why this conversation matters to Skoolology. One of our promises to you is that we won't just help you design a community. We want to help you get your community in front of the right people, too. That's one reason we're building relationships with other communities. Auli welcomed me into Backstage to share our story. Now we're welcoming her into Behind the Build to share hers. And through those conversations, we're creating opportunities for our communities to get to know one another. That's the kind of community building I believe in. Not simply showing up somewhere to promote what we do, but taking the time to get to know people, support their work, and find ways to help one another grow. I'm excited about what this relationship with Backstage might mean for our builders, and I'd love for you to be part of it! Come join us Wednesday! I'll add the link to our calendar, too!
