How a broke 20 y/o uni kid hit 100+ Skool members with no list, no ads, no content 😅

Alright, real talk for a sec.

I am a 20 year old broke uni student.

No big audience. No email list. No YouTube channel. No ad budget.

When I opened The Skoolyard, here is what I actually had:

A Skool account
Way too many ideas
A stupid amount of belief that Skool could literally be the whole business model

Instead of trying to build the “perfect funnel”, I just did this:

1. Picked one simple promise

Help creators and solopreneurs launch a Skool that actually gets them paid.

Not 47 offers. Just that.

2. Built one Skool hub

Free front door, premium back room.

Everything happens inside Skool so I am not juggling 7 platforms and forgetting 6 logins every week 😂

3. Launched one 4 day sprint

I opened 10 spots.

I honestly filled 4 of them.

Those 4 showed up hard, did the work, gave feedback, and basically became the core “day one” squad of the Yard. S/O

yall are the best

4. Talked like a human

I posted screenshots, shared wins and Ls, and personally invited people in DMs.

No “perfect copy”. No mega funnel. Just “here is what I am doing, wanna join or nah?”

What happened in the first 30 days

The Skoolyard grew to 100+ members
4 / 10 sprint spots filled with killer humans
I proved to myself that a broke student with no list can turn Skool into a real thing

I am not a guru.

I am a tall kid in a hoodie who likes juice boxes and decided to bet on Skool. 🧃

That is literally the whole story.

The “formula” was not magic:

Simple offer + Skool hub + consistent invites = momentum 😎

Where this is going next!!

Next target is kinda insane ngl:

Win the Skool Games in Q4 2025 using this exact community.

If you want to watch that happen in real time and basically sit beside me while I build it:

Join Premium while it is still $22 / month

For the next 3 days, Premium is $22 / month.

After that it goes up to $67 / month and then you are gonna be like “bro I saw this at 22 why didn’t I just click” 😭

Inside Premium I am going to:

Reveal every move I make on the way to the Skool Games
Use the premium group as my live cohort / test lab
Teach you exactly what I am doing to grow members, revenue, and engagement
Offer one to many coaching so you can get help whenever you need it, without dropping 5–10K on some “high ticket” thing

You can literally follow along step by step and steal what fits your niche.

Extra incentive: open your Skool through my link

If you create your Skool under my affiliate link, you unlock:

All the bonuses, templates and tools from my Champions For Life Skool build
This is the stack I was going to (and still will) charge $10,000 for as a done for you Skool build
You get it free just for creating your Skool under my link

So you are not just getting a “ref link”.

You are getting my full Skool build toolkit plus my brain on top of it lol.

What to do next

If you want to launch your own Skool the way I did:

I will send you: My simple Skool launch checklist (The exact steps I used to go from 0 to 100+ members as a broke student)

And if you are actually serious about turning this into income, not just vibes:

👉 Upgrade to Premium at $22 before it jumps to $67

👉 Then follow along as we take The Yard from “cute little win” to Skool Games champion 🏆

You are already in The Yard.

Next level is owning your own. ⭐️😎
