by Ron Medlin — Skoolmakers Rating

Community Builders is Ron Medlin's free community and the oldest in our community-building category, open since November 2022 — close to four years. With more than 12,300 members it is also the largest, and it is organised around one outcome: launching a paid community and getting the first hundred members into it. The library is deliberately compact at 7 courses and around 25 modules, with checklists rather than a sprawling catalogue, and four admins keep a feed of roughly 3,600 posts moving. Medlin's profile lists a Skool Games win and top-earner status on the platform. Read the headline promise for what it is: getting a hundred members in ten days is a marketing frame, not a typical result.

❓ FAQ

Can I really get 100 members in 10 days?

That is the headline, and it is a marketing frame rather than a typical result. Some people with an existing audience manage it; most starting from zero do not. Use the checklists and ignore the timeline.

Is a 7-course library enough?

It is deliberately compact and built around checklists rather than depth. That suits launching, less so scaling. If you want a large catalogue on community building, other options carry far more material.
