Skool is paying my monthly bills now. Woot woot! 🥳 I recently calculated all the income from my biggest Skool community, memberships, one-off payments, affiliate income, everything. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱: 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝘆 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀. 🎉 And it’s not even one year old. 👀 I built it as a side project alongside my other businesses, and my approach has been the following: 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 → 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 → 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 has always come FIRST for me, in all the communities I've built (a Facebook group became the foundation of my 6fig coaching biz). I know some people build communities mainly as funnels or content vaults, but that was never what I wanted, 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝘁𝗼𝗼! Then I focused on 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵. And now my big focus is 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, turning what started as a side project into a serious income stream. You don’t need one of those rare $100K/month communities we constantly hear about. My message today is that a Skool community can become a very real, very substantial source of income, way below that fancy mark 😎 Mine went from side project → paying my bills in less than a year. And I’m nowhere near done, hahaha... 🚀 Just sharing this as a little Monday reminder that it’s absolutely possible. Keep building. ❤️
