Forget Facebook groups. This new online community platform can make you rich
Have you thought about launching a lucrative subscription model business on a platform that combines community with courses and event scheduling, all in one place?
Look no further than Skool. Skool is by far the best platform I’ve found in this area. Kajabi is arguably too expensive, and certainly too bland, compared to Skool. Circle, meanwhile, threatens overwhelm with all those fancy features that you almost certainly don’t need. Created by the razor-sharp business mind of Sam Ovens and more recently invested in heavily by successful businessman and YouTuber Alex Hormozi (the biggest investment of his career, in fact), Skool is proving extremely profitable for many. As I write this, the most profitable community there, run by Evelyn Weiss, is making $67,656. That’s per month. Yeah. And a few creators are even making north of one million dollars per year. 👀 So how does Skool make this kind of feat possible? For a start, Skool’s user interface benefits from a wonderfully clutter-free design that reflects Ovens’ love of utilitarian simplicity. It also packs in pretty much everything you need under one roof. Each community centres around three main sections that you and your community members can hop between. Funnily enough, each one begins with C. Let me walk you through them: COMMUNITY This is the main feed where your members post and chat… without being distracted by notifications about their friends’ latest existential crises, as they are in those increasingly unbearable Facebook groups. |
CLASSROOM
You can host your video/audio courses or services here, or just gather some free resources for members. |
CALENDAR
Here, you can schedule things like Zoom calls, so everyone in the group can very easily see when events are happening. |
In addition to these three main hubs, there's also a fun gamification aspect baked into the architecture of Skool.
As alluded to in my story ideas article above, each community has a Leaderboard, which members can climb to unlock benefits/prizes. Every time someone Likes their comment or post, they score one point. That stuff is surprisingly addictive and really adds to the sticky nature of Skool. |
Nice, right?
If you've been looking to start your own community, or migrate away from Facebook groups, then I'm unaware of a better platform on which to do so than this one. As with most platforms of this kind, it's not free to create and run a Skool community. Still, the monthly fee of $99 is cheaper than competitors like the notably expensive Kajabi. And you can use my referral link here to get a free 14-day trial that you can cancel at any time. Build and test-drive a new community to see how you feel about the features (all of which are 100% unlocked during your trial), the near-boundless possibilities and the joy of it all! Where's the harm? You can cancel the trial at any time. You can even archive the community before the end of the trial, then decide to come back when you're ready to launch and pay the monthly fee. So you have nothing to lose. 🔥 LIMITED-TIME BONUS OFFER FOR SEPTEMBER 2024: If you do use my referral link and feel committed to starting a community, simply let me know (either by reaching out at Skool or dropping me a line via this site) and I'll happily help you for free to set up your group, using everything I've learned about Skool so far! 🔥 We can hop on a Zoom call if you feel that will be the easiest and fastest way to get you up and running! Still not sure about starting your own Skool community? That's understandable. This stuff is new. What you could do, in that case, is instead start a free Skool account as a general member (it's only community creators who pay to use Skool), join a few communities and get a sense of how you like the platform! |
