Best Skool Communities for Small Business Owners (2026 List)
What are the best Skool communities for entrepreneurs and community managers?
Skool is a phenomenal resource for anyone who is starting a business, growing and scaling a business, or looking to gain new skills. It's quieter than social media (no ad feed!) and prioritizes simplicity over fancy widgets. It's also a fantastic space to create a community to support your business goals, create a course, or just connect with others over your favorite hobbies. Two draws (for me at least) are the gamification elements and the affiliate earnings options.
This page is a curated list of the communities I think are especially helpful (and that I've enjoyed being in!). They include free and paid options. It's a living list... in the interests of getting it up and usable, some communities may not have descriptions. That doesn't mean I don't have anything to say, just that I haven't had time to get them written yet!
Please note, many of the links below are affiliate links, and I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Please also note, that I am not including any communities here that I haven't personally explored or joined.
Which communities allow you to promote and advertise your Skool community?
A public (i.e. searchable by Google) community where Skool owners can promote their communities, grow their businesses, and connect with one another. Billed as being "just like the classifieds section of the local newspaper but without the obituaries" it's like the Yellow Pages (remember those?!) but better.
Another public (Google-searchable) community, this one allows entrepreneurs who don't have a Skool community to gain visibility.
This sounds like yet another advertising space, but it's so much more than that. Inside you get mindset, strategy, visibility, and sustainable momentum.
What about communities that help you learn about or improve your marketing?
Of course I'm going to include my own community! Inside you can assess your funnel, see where the leaks are, and get access to resources (and ME!) that will help you fix them.
Got a Pinterest account that's DOA somewhere? Or do you just treat it as a place to hoard recipes and craft ideas you never actually make? Well, dust it off, optimize it, clean up those boards, and say hello to your new best traffic-driving tool. Pinterest is free to use, pins can drive traffic for years, and is one of the most highly used search engines after Google and YouTube. And if you think it's only for folks selling physcial products — think again. Service-based businesses can harness its power too! Inside the Pinterest Skool community, you'll learn exactly how.
For the would-be or growing YouTube creator... this community is specifically geared for those of us who are over 40 and making a go of it with video!
How about groups that help you amplify your business in other ways?
If you've ever thought about pubilshing a book on Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), either as an authority-building complement to your business or as a separate revenue stream, then this is a fantastic space to learn how to do that.
Whether you're building (or tweaking) a course on another platfom or creating one inside your Skool community, this is hands down the best resource I've found that shows you how to structure it and what to put in it.
Just. Get. In. Here. The growth you'll experience (personal, professional, financial) is beyond words. Run, do not walk.
If you run any sort of community — whether that's a Meetup group, Skool community, Facebook group, GHL membership, whatever — this group gives you access to a searchable platform where you can curate reviews, get more visibility, and attract members.
As a HUGE fan of word-of-mouth referrals and collaborations, this is a group to connect with others and turn any of those connections that align, into referrals, partnerships, and new opportunities.
What are some of the best communities for folks building their own Skool communities?
There are quite a lot to choose from. But these are my favorites.
Any other communities worth exploring?
Oh hell yes!

Hope to see you inside one or more of these communities!
