Good review, a lot of gurus make everyone think they can make a lot of $ from whatever. The reality is that you are right, if no one knows you or you have a good skill to share, it doesn't work. Most people just don't pay for "whatever".
Excellent balance of salesman ship and honest review. You would probably make a million faster at a car lot with those skills. I'm definitely a subscriber now.
@@HimanshuBisht My friend, you know how this works. Community is unbuildable without building trust first. Keep doing what you're doing. Lean heavy on Honesty and what it really takes to build. Everyone focuses on which niche, The newest, freshest niche will be my niche. Honesty. The formula is so simple it evades most. See the current gurus focus on the beginners. As the beginners learn the ropes, They drop out from all the bullshit creators. Do a survey, find out the market on people on their second, 3rd year of playing this game but are frustrated going down all rabbit holes. Although the beginners market is easily attainable, It's not evergreen. The 2nd or 3rd year person that finally finds a creator that they learn to trust is a life time community that builds itself.

Aight, enough of me babbling about. Peace and Love. Whoever else is reading this, If you believe in what your trying to accomplish, DO NOT QUIT. I will meet y'all on the other side of the struggle.
Thanks for this review, as an aside, can I ask what you are using to actually film this video with yourself overlaid in a screencast - is it Loom? I've been recommended that for screencast style presentations within my course but it seems you have to pay for producing anything over a few minutes? Also using Camtasia at the moment but I prefer the look of whatever you are using here. Thanks in advance! 😊
My friend is a calligrapher - he wants to launch 🚀 a Skool community - helping people being artistic . I said it’s very hard as most people don’t care about art
Did you watch my video on "1000 true fans". If he can find 1000 people in the world who care about what is he doing he will do incredible. The question is, CAN HE FIND IT? And How will you find them. Watch my latest video... it will give a perspective :)
I disagree art is a form of expression for many people to the point some people pay thousands to look at a dot on a white canvas. Art can be pretty much anything, there’s easily millions of people on this earth who cares about art I was one of them for a long time and there’s people who takes art seriously. If he can niche it down then he’s done like 40% of the work. People literally pay for art all the time or I’ve at least seen people start an animated RUclips channel with their art or sell their art using clothing brands. You’re just thinking too close minded because you’re not interested in it. All he really needs to do is niche it down fr
This was very bad advice to give to a friend. It's easy to categorize something you don't care about as something most people don't care about, but many people care about art. What Himanshu said is true - if only 1,000 out of the 6b+ people on this planet think your friend makes great art and would like to learn from him, he would be successful. The best thing about these small niches like calligraphy is that there aren't many people doing it, so it's much easier to get a name for yourself as a teacher. Imagine opening a skool community to teach people how to ride a bike - almost everyone can do it, and almost everyone can teach someone else how to do it. I would tell your friend he should give it a go, what's the worst that can happen?
I know it's a growing perception just like with any SaaS business but here is the thing... Pyramid/Ponzi scheme: People on the top solely depend on the payment of the new customers to make money. Skool is not really a pyramid. It's a SaaS company like Kajabi, Circle, Apple iCloud, Hosting services etc. On Skool, you can make money with your own communities or you can promote the product itself. You can also sell the courses and 1 to 1. It is 'just a tool'. Depending on who uses it, it will reward the user. You are not wrong with decent loyal following part. For a low ticket product, you need a decent following. For high ticket, you can be profitable with just 100 members. The main thing is, 'TAKING ACTION'. Most people don't do it. They watch reviews and make their judgement. What do you think?
I have started as blank as you can, and am hauling ass to create content. Very much wishing I had waited a week, but it has lit a fire under my ass lol
Love how you emphasized creating value/ connection in an authentic, helpful, community. The old saying goes: People come for content and stay for community.
@ no I don’t think they can be. Not of a true technical product. Game dev is not the same as platform web/mobile dev. They are out of alignment. There is no room for non technical people in a technical startup. If I were the CTO, I’d fire them both and be the sole founder. Charging a month subscription after 14 days is comical, it should be free and and take a percentage of the earnings. Instead of selling “make money online” “get rich quick” it should be focused on learning but these guys are out of sync. The only people offended by this are non technical people bc they simply lack technical knowledge. This app could be huge but it’s just another fake guru thing that will fiddle away or get some private equity buy it for an uninspiring flip. Discord is free practically. Dev focused.

Exactly. Skool is a tool. YOU are the business. Fundamentals never change.
Alex has clearly mentioned in his videos that 30.44% people make money and the average is ~$1200/month. So I don't think he's lying.

Thank you for words. Would love to know what are you building 🫡🔥

That's a great idea. There are many people who would love to join such skool.

You're so welcome!
I think skool is good if you already have a decent loyal following. Otherwise it could be a bit pyramidish as they offer 40% affiliate incentives.

Let the fire burn bigger and brighter 😂
I just signed up this evening this was your first video I seen and you offered to help me as best you can and very computer illiterate hook me up bro
See you inside the community ;)
After checking this, it feels like it's only for those who want sell courses/lessons.
What do you want to make the community for?
Thanks
Glad it was useful.

@@HimanshuBisht awesome 👍

Exactly Donna. People forget that part and try to find the shortcut. Glad you could notice it.
This is a product of 2 gurus who are non technical who created an app, how else is this supposed to go 🤣
Alex is a schmuck. I’d pay for Tate info before Alex. He cannot even spell school, how is he legit!?
Do you think a non-technical founder can't be successful?
CTO is ex-League of Legends developer by the way.
