[FULL GUIDE] How To Grow Your Skool

I have 650,000 YouTube subscribers, and 11,000 members in my Skool.

Here's step by step how Iโ€™d grow my Skool if I had to start again:

  1. Warm Outreach
  2. 2-Step Post
  3. $1.80 Strategy
  4. Content

Do this 1st because itโ€™s the fastest and easiest way to get your first members.

Hereโ€™s a full guide from Hormozi on how to do it.

โ˜ ๐ด๐‘๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘œ๐‘› ๐‘ ๐‘ก๐‘’๐‘: Reach out to 10 people

This is a simple strategy that leverages a loophole in social media algorithms to generate a tonne of attention even without thousands of followers.

Do this 2nd because it only takes a few minutes, but can quickly grow your group (if done well).

Hereโ€™s a full guide I wrote on how to do it.

โ˜ ๐ด๐‘๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘œ๐‘› ๐‘ ๐‘ก๐‘’๐‘: Make a 2-step post on all your socials

๐’๐ญ๐ž๐ฉ ๐Ÿ‘: $๐Ÿ.๐Ÿ–๐ŸŽ ๐’๐ญ๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ž๐ ๐ฒ (๐Ÿ“๐ŸŽ - ๐Ÿ“๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ ๐ฆ๐ž๐ฆ๐›๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ)

The $1.80 strategy is very effective at growing your group. This tactic got me my first 1,000 subscribers, made

@Hamza Ahmed

his first $1,000 online, and was the strategy

@Goose Dunlavey

and

@Zain Miah

used to win The Skool Games.

Itโ€™s free, it works even if you have no audience, and it can be used on all of your favourite social sites (Instagram, Linkedin, Twitter, Reddit, and even Skool).

Do this 3rd because itโ€™s simple, you learn a lot, and it works almost all the time. It just requires work.

โ˜ ๐ด๐‘๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘œ๐‘› ๐‘ ๐‘ก๐‘’๐‘ 1: Find 5 places online where your target audience spends their attention. It could be online communities, or influencers they follow.

โ˜ ๐ด๐‘๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘œ๐‘› ๐‘ ๐‘ก๐‘’๐‘ 2: Join the communities, and follow those influencers on all their socials. Turn on notifications.

โ˜ ๐ด๐‘๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘œ๐‘› ๐‘ ๐‘ก๐‘’๐‘ 3: Comment your 2 cents of value 90 times a day. Thatโ€™s where the $1.80 comes from. Creating your own social posts relies on algorithms for reach. If youโ€™re just getting started, itโ€™s hard to make your content good enough to get attention. Start with comments.

โ˜ ๐ด๐‘๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘œ๐‘› ๐‘ ๐‘ก๐‘’๐‘ 4: Add your Skool community link to your bios. When you become a valuable member of the community, people will check you out and join your Skool.

Reminders:

  1. Donโ€™t make low-quality comments. Become the most valuable person in of the community. The simplest way to make high-quality comments is to just spend longer than everyone else on your comments and posts.
  2. Build a relationship with the influencer and admins. Give the admins what they want. Put them on a pedestal. Thank them. Share your wins and give them credit. Support other people. Do their customer support for them.
  3. Donโ€™t self-promote. Youโ€™ll be hated, bullied, and banned.

๐’๐ญ๐ž๐ฉ ๐Ÿ’: ๐‚๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ž๐ง๐ญ (๐Ÿ“๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ+ ๐ฆ๐ž๐ฆ๐›๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ)

The better you get at creating content, the more money youโ€™ll make.

โ˜ ๐ด๐‘๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘œ๐‘› ๐‘ ๐‘ก๐‘’๐‘ 1: Pick one platform to create on. Start with the platform you consume content on the most.

โ˜ ๐ด๐‘๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘œ๐‘› ๐‘ ๐‘ก๐‘’๐‘ 2: Commit to creating one piece of content by this Sunday at 11:59pm. If youโ€™re reading this on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, then your deadline is next Sunday not this Sunday.

โ˜ ๐ด๐‘๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘œ๐‘› ๐‘ ๐‘ก๐‘’๐‘ 3: Pick a content idea. Everything you create comes from the life youโ€™ve consumed. So look at your calendar last week, the content youโ€™ve watched, and the lessons youโ€™ve learned, then pick one that excites you to share.

โ˜ ๐ด๐‘๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘œ๐‘› ๐‘ ๐‘ก๐‘’๐‘ 4: Create the content. It will be bad. But bad content is a prerequisite for good content. Start, then learn. Donโ€™t learn, then start.

โ˜ ๐ด๐‘๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘œ๐‘› ๐‘ ๐‘ก๐‘’๐‘ 5: Donโ€™t stop. Content compounds, and compounding requires time. The winners are the ones that didnโ€™t stop.

Reminders:

  • Content is a mechanism to trade value for attention. The more real value you provide, the more attention youโ€™ll gain.
  • Itโ€™s not about seconds of value, itโ€™s about value per second. Make your content dense with stories, insights, and value.
  • The simplest way to improve value per second is to make it shorter (but just as valuable). Do this by simply spending longer than other people per piece of content.
  • The packaging is the product. Get better at grabbing attention.
  • The messenger is the message. Who you are (or how people view you) dictates how they consume the message. Get authority, state authority.
  • Grow quickly by making content people love that no one else is making. High demand, low supply.

And those are the four things Iโ€™d do to grow my Skool.
