I get asked this all the time. Should I start a Skool community?

The answer depends on your availability.

Skool is a platform where you can build communities and sell info products. Members interact like a private social group and get access to lessons, resources, and discussions. It's mainly used by coaches, consultants, and creators who want a frictionless experience that feels more like a community than a course site.

But you need time to make it work.

If you don't have time to market it, grow it, and create material for it, your community will just be another dead zone.

I've stayed away from starting one. It requires too much attention. We offer done for you services, so it's not beneficial other than being a downsell and a way to give people free value so later they opt in for our main service.

Should you start one? It depends if your business fits the criteria and your market.

Some hosts post daily, run weekly calls, and have super engaged members. Others launch a group, post a few times, then abandon it.

The work is required. You have to give people reasons to care. Why should they join? Why should they stay?

If you can't answer those questions with something compelling, don't start one.

Here's what makes it work. Daily engagement. Weekly calls or live sessions. Clear outcomes. A reason to stay and a path to your paid offer.

Here's what kills it. Launching and disappearing. No clear purpose. No moderation or structure. Treating it like a course instead of a community.

So should you start one?

If you have time to post daily, run weekly calls, and actively engage with members, yes.

If you have a clear path from free community to paid offer, yes.

If you don't have time, don't have a clear offer, and can't commit to showing up, no.

Don't start a community just to have one. Start it when you can make it work.
