Keep it simple [5min Checklist]
I wanted to give you a handful of tactical learnings I got from one of my mentors after he had tens of thousands of people succeed with communities. The following actions below are statistically proven to increase your chances of winning (we have the data).
So this isn’t motivational fluff.
Just follow his process (5 min MAX).
1) Don't lurk--->LIKE!
Engagement is the first and easiest thing you can do. Making liking posts/comments you like a habit. It also tells the platform how to better serve you. Find a post (or posts) you find valuable - and let the person who wrote it know. It's a free gift you can give to someone else. Everyone here knows it's nice to be appreciated. And it literally takes a tap or a click. (And yes, statistically, people who like stuff succeed on Skool more).
2) Complete your profile & onboarding steps in your community.
Make it your own. It’s much cooler once you’ve added your “decor.” And if you don’t know what it’ll be about - that’s fine - I find it’s most commonly:
A) a passion (anything you’re interested in)
B) pain (some experience you overcame or problem you solved for yourself that you show other people how to)
C) Or a profession (something you already get paid to do as an employee but you either sho other people how to do that profession or you do it on the side now for more businesses).
Of course, there are many other variations, but that’s a good place to start. And don’t take it too seriously - you can always change your mind!
3) Text/DM 20 people (goal is to get 3 People in - and ideally - get to 10 regulars - this is where things really get fun):
“I’m starting a community about XYZ (or that helps people get GOOD without BAD), do you know anybody’s who’s into that?”
4) You can also post to whatever profiles you’ve got on social media that you’re starting a community to help people XYZ.
Pro tip: The biggest and most successful groups put their link in bio/video descriptions. Seems to work great.
5) Groups can either be free or paid (or freemium). But I think it’s important to see how getting paid actually works. So I’d recommend putting $1 or whatever through the system. I think once you see how easy it is - and how to works - you’ll be excited to get a stranger to go thru the process too. You can just put up a $1 course which just has a link to your calendar and no videos just to see how it works in a free community - or - you can make your group paid day 1. (Unless you’ve already got traffic I recommend starting free or free + course/service upsells inside). Much easier if you’re new.
6) This is a simple business. It’s basically an online party you’re inviting friends to. and if you already have an in person business, just add them to your community online (you won’t make less money having more surface area with your customers - trust me on that one).
Beyond that - have fun. We’re all gonna die. Might as well do the stuff we like with people we like in the meantime.
Go win!
