Why Skool community owners don't need a big YouTube audience
Most Skool owners who want to use YouTube to grow their community are waiting for the same thing. Enough subscribers. Enough views. Enough proof that the channel is working before they start pointing people toward the community. That threshold never arrives because it was never the right metric to begin with. A YouTube channel built for community growth does not need scale to work. It needs relevance. One video that speaks directly to the specific problem your ideal member is trying to solve will send more qualified people to your Skool community than a hundred videos chasing broad appeal. The viewer who watches a specific, targeted video and then joins your community already understands what you do and why it matters. That person is not a passive subscriber. They are a member before they have clicked the link. The professionals who grow Skool communities on YouTube fastest are not the ones with the biggest channels. They are the ones who stopped optimising for views and started optimising for the right viewer. This is the foundation of what we cover in Thursday's live workshop.

Why Skool community owners don't need a big YouTube audience
Warning: contains actual numbers and zero fake success stories.
Are you sick of watching people talk about their $30k months while you're still trying to figure out how to make your first $1k without quitting your job? Same. Which is why I'm not doing that. I'm still in my 9-to-5. I'm building a business alongside it in real time. And every month I run a new experiment - list growth, bundles, offers, systems - and share exactly what happened. The real numbers. The things that worked. The things that absolutely did not. This month's experiment: can I get 100 community members in 30 days by hosting my first ever bundle? Current count: 40. Days left: 25. Verdict: genuinely unclear. ๐Ÿ˜‚ If you're building a business alongside a job and you're tired of advice from people who forgot what the early stages actually feel like, come on in. It's free. There are resources waiting for you. And at minimum youโ€™ll probably cringe/laugh at my mistakes but ideally you'll get to watch someone figure this out in real time and steal what works. ๐Ÿ‘‰ย From Job to CEO: The Experiment

Why do profitable businesses still go out of business?
๐Ÿšจ Does Pinterest Actually Work in 2026?
Short answer? Yesโ€ฆ but only if you use it the right way. Thereโ€™s a lot of noise out there: - โ€œPinterest is deadโ€ - โ€œIt doesnโ€™t work anymoreโ€ - โ€œYou need to post 50 times a dayโ€ ๐Ÿ‘‰ None of that is true. Inside our community, we have a Pinterest Skool member who is: - A blogger - An Amazon Influencer - Currently getting 7,000,000+ monthly views Not from luck. Not from going viral once. From a simple, repeatable system. Letโ€™s break down whatโ€™s actually working in 2026 ๐Ÿ‘‡ _____________________________________________________ ๐Ÿ”‘ 1. Pinterest Is Still a Search Engine (Not Social Media) Most people approach Pinterest like itโ€™s Instagram โ€” posting pretty images and hoping for engagement. Thatโ€™s where things fall apart. Pinterest doesnโ€™t prioritize likes or followers the same way social platforms do. Instead, itโ€™s built around search behavior. Users go to Pinterest with intent. They are actively looking for ideas, solutions, and inspiration. That means your success comes down to how well your content matches what people are searching for. When your titles, descriptions, and pin topics align with keywords people are typing in, your content gets surfaced โ€” even if you have zero followers. ๐Ÿ“ˆ 2. One Keyword Can Still Explode Your Traffic The biggest myth in 2026 is that you need to constantly chase new ideas. In reality, growth often comes from identifying one strong keyword and going deep on it. Thatโ€™s exactly what our Pinterest Skool member did. By identifying a trending or high-demand keyword and building multiple pieces of content around it, they were able to dominate that search category. Instead of spreading effort across dozens of random topics, they focused their energy where the demand already existed โ€” and thatโ€™s what led to millions of monthly views. ๐ŸŽฏ 3. Multiple Pins = Multiple Chances to Rank One of the most common mistakes is creating a single pin per blog post and expecting results. On Pinterest, each pin is its own opportunity to rank in search. If you only create one, youโ€™re limiting your reach significantly.
