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. I spent 3 months running a paid Skool community—testing the features, pricing, and earning potential firsthand. 👉 Was it worth the time? If you’re curious about building a recurring income stream or creating a hub for your audience, this post breaks it all down, with real numbers and honest lessons.

That’s how you grow. Here’s how to make sure...
Hi Reader, It’s no surprise that so many self-publishers focus on no-content and low-content books. They’re quick to produce, easy to publish, and offer a great way to learn the ropes. But what if the real opportunity was somewhere else? In my latest YouTube video, I unpack why children’s books might just be the hidden goldmine on Amazon KDP. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/yHZh68653aM Having published over 20 children’s books myself, I’ve noticed something interesting: while the time and...
Hi Reader, One of the most common concerns I hear from course creators is: “I want to create a course… but I don’t have an audience yet.” I get it. It can feel like a chicken-and-egg situation. You need an audience to sell your course, but you also want to launch your course to build an audience. So here’s the truth:You don’t need a massive following to launch a successful course. What you need is the right strategy and a few foundational steps to grow an audience of people who trust you and...
