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.

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.

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.
