If you’ve been running your business, membership, or online community through a Facebook Group, it’s officially time to rethink that strategy.
A few years ago, platforms like Circle, Mighty Networks, HighLevel Communities, and MemberVault gave creators a new way to move their people off of social media and into dedicated spaces they owned. But today, a major update from Skool just put them all on notice.
🚨 The Update That Changes Everything
Skool — the platform created by entrepreneur Alex Hormozi — has just launched membership tiers, and this one feature changes everything about how creators can build and monetize communities.
Here’s why this matters:
Before today, you had to juggle two or more platforms just to grow your audience. Maybe you had…
- A free Facebook group to build community
- A separate course or membership site for paying clients
- Another platform like Circle or Mighty Networks to host your conversations
Now, with Skool’s new tiered membership system, you can do it all in one place.
Imagine having one community where everyone joins for free — and your premium members simply upgrade to unlock extra calls, courses, or private group access. No more pushing people to “click out” of your ecosystem or chasing logins across platforms.
Everything — community, content, payments, and progression — lives under one roof.
👇Here’s a full video on how I’ll be using it:
🧩 Why Skool Beats Other Platforms (Yes, Even Circle and Mighty Networks)
Let’s be honest — most “Facebook group alternatives” start out strong but fall short when it comes to growth, engagement, and monetization.
Here’s how Skool just surpassed every major player:
| Platform | What It Does Well | What Skool Now Does Better |
|---|---|---|
| Facebook Groups | Easy to start, familiar | Algorithm limits visibility, no monetization, no structure |
| Circle | Clean interface, structured | Doesn’t have built-in gamification or tiered monetization |
| Mighty Networks | Great for courses + community | Feels clunky, lacks fun + reward systems that keep people active |
| HighLevel Communities | Integrated with CRM + funnels | Too complex for non-marketers, the community feels secondary. I’d only use this if you have a strong customer base and need this integrated with other sales processes in your business. |
| MemberVault | Excellent for hosting offers | Not designed for long-term engagement or group interaction |
| Skool (Now) | Combines all of the above — community, content, courses, and connection — in one ecosystem, with gamification and tiered upgrades |
Skool isn’t just another membership platform. It’s what happens when you merge the best parts of Facebook Groups, Patreon, and a learning management system — then make it fun, profitable, and sustainable.
💡 The Game-Changer: Tiers, Gamification, and Engagement
Here’s what makes Skool’s new update a true game-changer for business owners and creators:
- Membership Tiers – Offer multiple price levels or experiences inside one community. No more free vs. paid silos.
- Gamified Levels – Members earn points for engagement, unlocking access to new resources or privileges.
- Built-in Courses – Upload your programs or trainings directly to your community.
- All-in-One Simplicity – One login, one platform, one thriving ecosystem.
It’s not just a more powerful community — it’s a more equitable one. People who engage can unlock rewards, and people who want to move faster can upgrade for direct access. Everyone wins.
🚀 Why I’m Moving My Community to Skool
I’ve been using Facebook Groups for years — and I’ve tested almost every platform out there. But when I saw this new update, I realized Skool wasn’t just catching up… it’s leading the future of online community building.
Inside my Build It Faceless community, I now have:
- A free space where anyone can learn about building faceless brands
- Paid tiers that unlock live calls, deeper trainings, and exclusive courses
- A thriving discussion feed where everyone can see what’s happening — no algorithm hiding posts
It’s not just a community. It’s an ecosystem where visibility meets profitability.
