Building a Paid Community on Skool: My 3-Month Review & Insights
|
Hi Reader, If you’re a course creator, coach, or community builder, chances are you’ve come across Skool. A growing platform designed to bring education and community under one roof. In 2025, Skool has continued to gain traction as an all-in-one solution for hosting content, managing members, and building recurring revenue. But what are my thoughts on the platform after spending 3 month building a community on Skool? After personally using Skool (for three months) to run a self-publishing community, I wanted to share my experience and help you decide whether it’s the right platform for you. While I eventually paused my community and focussed on building my brand using Thinkific, the lessons I learned and the potential I saw left the door open for a future return.

Hi Reader, If you’ve ever tried creating children’s book illustrations using AI, you’ve probably faced one big frustration — keeping your characters consistent.

I’ve been there too, and it’s one of the biggest roadblocks for self-publishers if you're using AI for illustrations. After experimenting with countless tools and...
Hi Reader, When people tell me they feel stuck creating their course, it's rarely about the tech.More often, it's this: “I have all this knowledge… but I don’t know how to structure it into a course.” It’s a common problem, and a crucial one. A well-structured course doesn’t just make your content easier to teach, it makes it easier for your students to learn, and when your students get results, your course gets shared, reviewed, and recommended. That’s how you grow. Here’s how to make sure...
