The Hack That Pays For My Skool Memberships

Last week one of my Skool memberships auto-renewed.

I didn't flinch. Didn't white-knuckle my bank account before the charge hit. Didn't do the "should I downgrade this?" math in my head.

Because the commissions rolling in from my affiliate links already cover the cost. And then some. 💫

$640 in the last 30 days. $3,383 lifetime.

Which means every Skool I'm currently in is essentially paid for by Skool itself.

(And covers the cost of my own Skool)

Here's the hack most people miss:

Most Skool communities have an affiliate program built in.

When someone joins through your affiliate link, you earn a cut of their membership.

Every month. For as long as they stay.

And the communities you're already in and love?

The ones you're raving about to a friend over coffee anyway?

You can share them with your link and get paid for sharing what you were already going to share.

A few ground rules I hold myself to:

🫶 I only share Skools I'm actually in and actually getting value from. If I wouldn't pay for it with my own money, it's not going near my affiliate links. Integrity is the whole game.

👀 This is the most under-used revenue stream inside Skool. Most members don't even realize they have a link for every community they're in.

💸 Commission rates vary by community (some are 20%, some go up to 50%). Worth checking what each of your Skools offers. Mine also offers 50% by the way!

Then share those links where it makes sense. IG bio. A podcast show notes. An email signature. A conversation with someone who'd actually benefit.

Check back in a month and watch the balance quietly build.

Quick math on why this works:

If you're in a community that's $49/month with 50% commission (like this one!), two referrals covers your own membership. Everything past that is pure profit stacking in your Skool balance while you sleep.

Two people who would've benefited anyway. That's it. ✨
