Don't Use Skool
Why so many fail with Skool communities
The BIGGEST MISTAKE I see coaches make?
Thinking that a hyped up software is gonna make or break their business for them
Here’s the truth about Skool:
It’s fine
It’s not good
It’s not awful.
It’s just fine.
Yeah it’s missing loads of features, and the dev team are super slow at getting those features added
Yeah the payments systems are funky and really not ideal for 99% of coaches
And yeah the “community aspect” of most Skools are pretty bad
But in reality, whether or not you build a successful coaching program isn’t going to be decided by which software you use to host the community
We’re talking at absolute most a 20% impact to your sales when you pick your hosting platform
Usually that’s going to be 20% less if you’re using Skool because of all those features it lacks
And if you’re using a platform like Whop it’s going to be 20% more because it has everything Skool lacks
And obviously being able to increase your sales by 20% by simply not using a certain sub-par software is something everyone should keep in mind
But if you’re already on Skool? And you have managed to make it work?
Don’t mess with it
If you’re looking to get started?
Or you’re struggling to scale?
Stay stoic
