The Rabbit Hole

During the digital renaissance, where creators, entrepreneurs, coaches, and consultants are the new Da Vinci’s, making online education more accessible is one of the key areas for impact.

People have used all types of places for serving online education and creating communities, from Facebook groups to custom platforms with courses and communities.

But, there’s one specific platform that has been built by the great entrepreneur Sam Ovens and has been used for a while by multiple creators but gained a lot of traction recently due to a big investment from Alex Hormozi.

It’s Skool.

Designed with the creator's spirit at its core, Skool offers a place to go for both people who want a place to learn and seek knowledge, and the ones who want to teach, educate, and share their knowledge, while at the same time, being inside communities away from the distractions of traditional platforms.

Every feature is there to enhance engagement, learning, and genuine connection.

You can have a free or paid community, with multiple courses inside that get unlocked (or not) by the level of each individual inside the community. There are communities, events, classes, gamification, and much more.

Skool is a revolution in the making. For digital creators and entrepreneurs, the call to action is clear, there’s a potential for transformation, for leading a new wave of digital engagement, and for writing the next chapter in the creator economy.

I genuinely believe this will be one of the tools for the future of education.

The Revenue Stream

Skool

Now that you know about Skool, let’s see where there’s an opportunity to create a business or revenue stream.

Alex Hormozi said joining Skool is like being an early Facebook adopter.

And that is not just a comparison. He's spotlighting an opportunity.

Skool is a movement, a shift towards more meaningful digital engagement and community building.

The First-Mover Advantage: Starting early in Skool now means growing with the platform. As it evolves, so does your community, and you become a pioneer in your niche.

Monetization: Skool is designed for deeper engagement, and offers creators a direct line to monetize in a way that feels authentic and impactful, with all the tools built in already.

Collaboration: The platform's DNA is made for collaboration and discovery. As you are part of other communities you start to connect and collaborate with others. As people join communities in Skool to be educated, they will start to look for other communities inside it.

The Skool Games: They have started a competition with prizes and amazing resources to help you start your community inside. Plus, you get to try your own Skool community for free for 14 days (after, if you want to have your community, it’s $99 per month).

For those ready to ride this wave, the possibilities are incredible and endless. The journey ahead is uncertain, but for the bold, the innovative, and the visionary, Skool offers a once in a lifetime opportunity to redefine digital education and communities.
