I am setting up my skool community right now and I noticed that we can't turn our affiliate link on unless we pay the $99 a month. I'm wondering if others invite people to my community do they still get connected for affiliate payout later, if I start paying the $99 a month after I get paid members? I want to work with other people in my group so I was hoping to pitch the affiliate commission to work with me.

Entrepreneurship is NOT art. And if you don't understand the difference between the two you're going to be in a world of pain. Yes, you CAN blend the two, but they are completely different things and if you're not making at least $10,000/month right now, you need to read this: Entrepreneurship is about the customer. And the more you focus on what the customer wants, the more money you'll make. Entrepreneurship is not about you - at all. I've paid for coaching from people I don't even like. I paid them for what they could offer me. It wasn't about THEM as the coach at all. Conversely, I've NOT paid many coaches I like, simply because their offer sucked. This is because success with entrepreneurship requires you to sell something people want. You have to ask: "What does Jessica want for lunch?" And then you have to make Jessica what she wants. Regardless of if you want it, or not. Jessica doesn't care what you want. But she will happily (and repeatedly) pay you for what SHE wants. Art, though? Art allows you to do whatever you feel like. It has no rules and no boundaries. I just got back from an Art Expo in Brisbane, Australia. It was full of random art pieces. Most were meaningless to me. Some of the pieces I liked. But most I did not. And this is why it's a lot harder to sell art. This is why most artists are broke. They focus soley on themselves, not the buyer. Which is fine! For art. Just don't expect to get rich doing it. Most artist are never taught entrepreneurship and don't realize that getting paid for art is a matter of LUCK. If you create something because YOU want to, and someone just so happens to want to buy it, that's luck! And what do we call an artist who changes their style to sell more stuff? "A SELL OUT!" Yeah, because they've learned the #1 RULE of entrepreneurship: To sell more stuff, make stuff you know people wanna buy. (Note: I'm not a fan of when artists do this, but I understand why they do it.) Personally, I don't run a Skool community teaching people how to make $10,000/month because I'm passionate about MONEY.
