187 // My thoughts on Skool, Patreon, and other "off social media" communities

In this episode, I share insights on the growing trend of moving online communities off Facebook to platforms like Mighty Networks, Skool, and more. I discuss the allure of these platforms, such as their unique features and the potential for a more intimate, distraction-free setting, but also highlight the significant drawbacks, including marketing challenges and decreased visibility.

 

Through personal experiences and observations, I emphasize that the key to a thriving community is not the platform but the strategy and skills in engaging and growing the group. I also advocate for the value of Facebook's algorithms in helping to organically grow communities and offer my Profitable Facebook Group Program as a solution for those struggling with engagement and growth on Facebook.

 

Happy listening!

Sarah
