Skool Description
Skool is a US platform launched in 2019 that combines an online community, courses and a calendar in one simple product. Creators set up a group, post discussions, publish course modules and schedule live calls, and members can access everything from the web or the mobile app. Skool adds game-like elements such as points, levels and leaderboards to encourage members to take part, and owners can unlock lessons as members reach higher levels. Groups can be free or paid, with monthly memberships or one-time course fees handled inside the platform. There is also a public discovery page where people can find communities by topic. Skool charges owners a flat monthly fee rather than per member, which appeals to coaches, educators and creators building a paid community. For affiliates, Skool suits creator economy content, online business tutorials and course-building guides. Its programme is notable for paying a share of the monthly fee for as long as the referred owner stays subscribed.
