My Skool Journey So Far
It was April 20th 2024...
The day everything changed for me...
I woke up, grabbed a cup of coffee and watched this hormozi video
After watching that video I knew I had to get in on this thing called Skool.
I started a community for all of my past clients that I had taken out fishing.
Around 50 people joined for free in the first couple of days because I already had relationships with them.
I spend WEEKS building out a course and pretty much wrote an entire book.
Now I was finally ready to monetize.
Or so I thought.
$29/mo for exclusive access to all my weekly fishing reports.
Blasted FB ads.
Posted on every other platform I had an account on.
Reached out to everyone I knew.
Total MRR...
$0.00
It felt like the universe slapped me in the face.
I asked myself "why didn't this work?"
And then I realized I was selling what I wanted to sell and not what the marketplace wanted to buy.
It was a hard lesson to learn because I had poured my heart and soul into this launch.
It took me a couple days to figure out what my next move was going to be and then it clicked.
Thats it!
I'm going to help other fishing guides like myself!
I scrolled for DAYS on Google sending messages to fishing guides all around to USA and collecting leads.
"Hey! This is Captain Nate, I started a free community for fishing guides. I don't know what its going to be about yet, but if you want to join just let me know and I'll send you the link."
102 guides joined.
I bet you think this is the part where I start making money.
WRONG
I had another epic fail.
My offer was helping them set up their own skool community.
I sent personalized looms with links to start their 14 day free to each of them with plans of raking in that 40% affiliate commission.
I thought I had figured it all out.
The next day when I woke up I checked my phone and saw exactly 0 people signed up.
But what I did see were some angry messages from people who thought I was running some sort of pyramid scheme.
They were posting in my community and bashing me.
It sucked.
I had to fix it.
So I took the next 2 weeks to get on a call with each and every one of them to speak with them directly.
Talking with these people is what made me realize what they actually needed.
Clients.
So I found 5 people in my community who were struggling and I helped them for free.
And you know what they did.
Gave me banger reviews!
Now all I had to do is ask for money and I would make my first dollar online.
So thats what I did.
I went to another member who was clearly struggling and said
"look what I did for those people do you want me to help you do the same?"
He said yes and paid me $100
Finally, my first dollar online after almost 3 months!
Now that I found something people actually desire and proved that it actually works I felt ready to scale.
I knew I had to find a mentor if I wanted to speed up the process.
So thats what I did.
It took me three months to earn $100 MRR
Then in month four alone I earned $1,100
The only thing that changed was I had a mentor.
There are wayyy to many people along the way that helped me to list out.
But you know who you are.
The game has only just begun!
