Hi Evelyn! I totally agree with your thoughts, loving Skool but the only thing I don't like about the Leadership Board is that I see a lot of people 'chasing' the next level by just liking everyone's content and giving random comments that feel like they're given more for the points then for the contribution on topic... I'll be very interested to see how you will tackle that which I'm sure you will 🙌🏻 xo Jacky

Thank you for this insight. It helped me balance my decision on which platform to use.

Thank you for sharing your insights about Facebook Groups VS the Skool platform. You shared information I wouldn't know to ask - especially that Skool takes care of the payments and removal of members . I love being an Alumni with all the added benefits and training.

Thanks for the clarity! I just started a new community for the first time and decided to build it on Skool. Since I’m a newbie to community building online, this information is very helpful. A monthly membership of $99 is an investment into myself and my community. Signed, Pink Era is my new community, with a focus on empowering our mindset for this swiftly changing world. 💕

Thank you for the breakdown. It was VERY informative. I love both of your groups by the way. You and your team are fantastic!

Wow. Thankyou for the clarity. My niche is parents with special children. My fb group has been dead for a while. I’m basically starting from scratch with my framework but I can’t tell you how many times parents have asked me if I ever was going to hold community off FB. Some are just refusing to get on it. I will be sifting through FB group and will seriously consider this Evelyn once my brain can wrap around it more. I see what you are saying. I love the big picture thinking.

Hi Evelyn, now seeing the difference of reach in Skool versus FB groups, do you still recommend starting a free group? 😊

[miracletimberlake]

i am new just started today. I am not sure of what to do

[kimberlymahurin-methodofho]

Question: People have such a short attention span. We run adds of FB to skool. People in FB are extremely addicted to scroll etc. I hear courses don’t even get opened when they buy so I’m wondering if those that actually come from Facebook will struggle getting to skool regularly. Kinda out of site out of mind thing. Does skool have an app they can download to get alerts?

[bibienricakupe]

I hate looking videos on fb! So I am in the membership but I never look at it.. i don’t like fb! It is not functional! Especially b-b should be on a better platform

It's $99/month - like, SCREW THAT!!
