If you’re coming from a Facebook group, a course platform, or you’re looking to make money online with Skool… read this before you launch.
I just went through a massive discussion thread with 100+ creators talking about what actually works — and what burns people out — when it comes to monetizing a community.
Here’s what I pulled out for you 👇
1️⃣ “Access” is NOT a Selling Point
Your giant library of videos, PDFs, and trainings?To you: hard work and value.To them: homework. 💡 People are drowning in content. They don’t want to “keep up” — they want a shortcut to the win.
2️⃣ Solutions Beat Subscriptions
Give them one specific result faster than they could get it on their own.
❌ “Join my group for all things marketing.”✅ “Launch your Skool group & get your first 10 members in 30 days.”
3️⃣ Community > Content
Connection, accountability, live calls, challenges…That’s the sticky stuff people stay for.Endless content? That’s what they quit.
4️⃣ Retention Is the Real Game
Selling is easy compared to keeping people.If your only “value” is a content dump, expect them to binge & cancel.Run monthly sprints, workshops, and events that give them a reason to stay. 5️⃣ Not All “Solutions” Look the Same
For some niches, the solution is connection, entertainment, or inspiration.That’s fine — just make it clear. People pay for outcomes, not archives.
6️⃣ Simplicity Sells
The most profitable products are often the smallest:
- A 5-day challenge
- A starter kit
- A one-page template pack
No one wants the haystack. They want the needle.
7️⃣ Build Trust Before You Sell
In a free Skool group, deliver quick wins first. When people see you can help, the offers feel like the next logical step — not a pitch.
💡 Here’s the Bottom Line: Your Skool group should feel like the fastest path to the fix. When you sell results over access, you stop competing with free Facebook groups, dead courses, and unread newsletters… and you start building something people are excited to join.
