🔧 Product Roadmap Highlights
Traffic sources dashboard is coming.
This is the big one.
You’ll be able to see where members actually come from: Skool network, Instagram, Facebook, direct links, etc.
Building this for ~6 months.
Expected early February.
Why this matters:
- Ends guessing games.
- Finally see what’s pulling weight
- Proof that the Skool network itself drives members, not just external socials.
Moderation tools are next.
Focus areas:
- Cleaner membership requests
This is about keeping groups usable as they grow.
Speed + Discovery are the core theme for 2026.
- Main focus this year:
- Better search results
- Improved categories
- Ranking systems that reward quality
- Discovery that’s actually fun to browse
Objective = to surface good communities more often, not just noisy ones
Languages + currencies are on the roadmap
leaning into international growth
🏆 “School(s) of the Week”
Spotlight on:
- Extremely niche combo: spirituality + beekeeping
- Free group with tiered options
- High-quality about-page video (cinematic level)
Traffic insight:
- ~45% of members come from the Skool network itself
- Instagram drives some traffic, but Skool discovery is doing real work here
🎸 Guitar Shredding Community (Jack Wood)
- Teaches metal / electric guitar
Traffic insight:
Key point:
niche + quality + discovery
= members without massive socials
🧠 Almost every successful example follows the same pattern:
1. Create a community around one clear passion
2. Put your Skool about-page link in your bio
3. Post content about the thing you already care about
4. Start free
5. Watch what people ask for,
6. Add paid tiers later
This works across wildly different niches:
The niche doesn’t matter.
Discovery does.
🎯 What's key about this update
- Traffic sources removes ambiguity. You’ll finally know what’s working.
- Discovery improvements favor well-structured, quality communities over hype.
- Moderation tools reduce friction as groups scale.
- International features open new doors
Here's something 🆒 😎
Because this was a Skool Livestream of Skool News...

Maybe not if you're a community owner! 😺
