  1. 0:00All right, so how do I make $25,000 per
  2. 0:02month with school? As most of you may
  3. 0:04know who are watching this video, I run
  4. 0:06a school agency called School Scale with
  5. 0:08my partner Ramsha. We currently are
  6. 0:10doing $25,000 a month right now in
  7. 0:12revenue. We have a couple outstanding
  8. 0:14invoices. At the time of recording this,
  9. 0:16it's March 19th, so we have a lot more
  10. 0:18revenue coming in. So, by the end of
  11. 0:19this month, we'll probably be pushing 35
  12. 0:21to 40k. But, for pure transparency, this
  13. 0:25is what we have built so far. This is a
  14. 0:26GoHighLevel screenshot. And basically,
  15. 0:29we've won School Games twice now. We
  16. 0:33were there last quarter for Q4 of School
  17. 0:36Games in 2025. I'll throw up an image of
  18. 0:39me with Hormozi and Sam Ovens as well,
  19. 0:40too, as proof. I have my trusty School
  20. 0:44trophy back there as well, too. You
  21. 0:45probably can't see it behind this
  22. 0:46massive chair. But anyways, let's dive
  23. 0:48into it. That's just for, you know,
  24. 0:49obviously transparency and social proof
  25. 0:51why you should be listening to me. So,
  26. 0:53this is what most people do who are
  27. 0:55looking to start a school community or
  28. 0:56who are running a school community
  29. 0:57currently, okay? Basically, the first
  30. 0:59thing they do is they obviously start a
  31. 1:00school community. They begin adding
  32. 1:01courses and content with no
  33. 1:03transformation in mind for what their
  34. 1:05audience is going to experience. That
  35. 1:07audience starts consuming content, but
  36. 1:09there is no ongoing consumable content
  37. 1:11within that school community. Within
  38. 1:13most school communities and, you know,
  39. 1:16from what I see with my partner as we
  40. 1:17audit these school communities and join
  41. 1:19them just to take a look at what other
  42. 1:20people are doing is there is way too
  43. 1:21many live calls. Like, you as a creator
  44. 1:23are way too accessible to your audience.
  45. 1:26And then, inevitably, because you have
  46. 1:27course content that doesn't bring people
  47. 1:29through a transformation, you have no
  48. 1:31consumable content on a weekly,
  49. 1:33biweekly, or monthly basis, and you are
  50. 1:35way too accessible as a creator by
  51. 1:37hosting way too many live calls. And as
  52. 1:39soon as somebody joins those live calls,
  53. 1:40you end up with a high churn rate above
  54. 1:4215%, okay? Now, churn is what kills
  55. 1:45communities. It is the reason why most
  56. 1:47people avoid communities, and it's why
  57. 1:49most of the gurus that you probably
  58. 1:51follow say like, "Don't start low
  59. 1:52ticket. Just go straight to high
  60. 1:53ticket." Which I totally understand why
  61. 1:55they say that, because if you're someone
  62. 1:56that follows this method, you're going
  63. 1:58to fail, right? You're not going to make
  64. 1:59as much money as you should. So, here's
  65. 2:01what I do and here's what we have all of
  66. 2:03our creators do as well, too, so that
  67. 2:05they can have less than a 10% churn rate
  68. 2:07and they can make a ton of money. Now,
  69. 2:09by the way, full disclosure, if me and
  70. 2:11my partner are making around $25,000 a
  71. 2:14month, you know, at the time that I'm
  72. 2:15recording this, imagine what our
  73. 2:17creators are making because we work off
  74. 2:18of equity percentage. So, just keep that
  75. 2:21in mind, okay? So, what we have our
  76. 2:23creators do is at that first stage where
  77. 2:25you're starting a community,
  78. 2:26you're going to want to take 1 week to
  79. 2:28create your community, use Canva for
  80. 2:29your branding, use Word Docs to plan
  81. 2:31your courses, complete the about us
  82. 2:32page, complete back-end settings, set up
  83. 2:34welcome messages, set up pin posts.
  84. 2:35Basically, basically go through the
  85. 2:36entire back-end of School and just make
  86. 2:38sure everything is set up. Setting up
  87. 2:40your school community should take no
  88. 2:42more than like 1 to 2 weeks. Putting
  89. 2:44together your course content might take
  90. 2:46another 2 to 3 weeks. That is it. Now,
  91. 2:48in my other videos, I also talk about
  92. 2:50how you should launch your school
  93. 2:51community. Pre-marketing for that should
  94. 2:53take three to, you know, I don't know,
  95. 2:55two to three weeks I would say, max. So,
  96. 2:57all in, it may take you six to eight
  97. 2:59weeks to actually launch your community
  98. 3:01properly. Anyone telling you just to
  99. 3:03like launch your your community in 1 to
  100. 3:052 weeks and get it going, like, they're
  101. 3:07lying to you. You should not do that.
  102. 3:09Make sure you do it properly. Make sure
  103. 3:10you take the time to actually get your
  104. 3:12school community built out and then do
  105. 3:14some pre-marketing as well, too, okay?
  106. 3:16So, that is the first stage, which is
  107. 3:18start your school community. The second
  108. 3:20stage is your courses need to be set up
  109. 3:22to create a specific transformation. So,
  110. 3:24before you start filming, you need to
  111. 3:26ask yourself, what problem are you
  112. 3:27solving and how are you going to get
  113. 3:30your audience results, okay? Your
  114. 3:32courses should take your audience from
  115. 3:35zero to hero, all right? It needs to be
  116. 3:37content that literally identifies their
  117. 3:40problem clearly and walks them through a
  118. 3:42transformation to solve that problem,
  119. 3:43okay? Now, as a beginner, you can use
  120. 3:46something like Loom to film your videos.
  121. 3:48write out your courses on Google Docs or
  122. 3:50within slides and just keep the creation
  123. 3:52process easy, okay? What What matters
  124. 3:54right now in 2026 is value. It's not
  125. 3:57high production value. It's not buying a
  126. 3:59$3,000 camera with a $2,000 lens, and
  127. 4:02then having an editor film a video for
  128. 4:05you every single time, and then before
  129. 4:06you know it, you're like all into
  130. 4:07building a course that people haven't
  131. 4:09even consumed yet, and you've spent over
  132. 4:1115 grand. It doesn't It just doesn't
  133. 4:12make sense, okay? Go get Loom. It costs
  134. 4:14you, I think, $10 a month. Go get your
  135. 4:17Google Docs. It's literally free. Go
  136. 4:19build out your courses, okay? That is
  137. 4:21it. That's all you need. Just make sure
  138. 4:23that the content inside your courses is
  139. 4:25highly valuable, and it takes people
  140. 4:26through a transformation. Now, the next
  141. 4:28component of this is monthly consumable
  142. 4:30content. So, to retain members, you need
  143. 4:32consumable content, monthly reels,
  144. 4:35right? Whether it's monthly reels,
  145. 4:36trends, daily viral TikToks, weekly
  146. 4:37stock picks, monthly new winning ad
  147. 4:39creatives, like whatever it may be. It
  148. 4:40doesn't matter whatever niche or
  149. 4:42category you are in, there's a good
  150. 4:44chance that you can create consumable
  151. 4:45content. You just need to be creative,
  152. 4:46okay? That is the literal definition of
  153. 4:49being a creative is you just need to be
  154. 4:50creative. Okay? You're creating things.
  155. 4:53Your content needs to be something
  156. 4:54people look forward to, and also get
  157. 4:56value from
  158. 4:58above what they are paying for for your
  159. 4:59community, okay? So, if you are charging
  160. 5:02$100 a month, or $50 a month for your
  161. 5:04community, the value that you are
  162. 5:06sharing with your community in a
  163. 5:08consumable format
  164. 5:10needs to be more valuable than what you
  165. 5:14are actually sharing, right? So, if
  166. 5:16you're helping them trade stocks, if you
  167. 5:17charge $100 a month, if you are giving
  168. 5:20them picks that's helping them make $200
  169. 5:22a month, that is profitable to them,
  170. 5:23right? Maybe it's helping them make $500
  171. 5:25a month, whatever it may be. Maybe
  172. 5:26you're doing something that isn't in
  173. 5:28exchange for tangible value, like maybe
  174. 5:30you're teaching people, um
  175. 5:32for instance, like how do you become a
  176. 5:33better soccer player, right? How to
  177. 5:35become a better midfielder or striker,
  178. 5:36right?
  179. 5:38Then you need to plant the idea in their
  180. 5:40head that they are going to get more
  181. 5:42opportunities to, you know, maybe you're
  182. 5:44trying to help that person get off, you
  183. 5:46know, riding the bench, and get them on
  184. 5:48the first string so that they're
  185. 5:49starting on the field, right? Maybe
  186. 5:51you're trying to help that person who's
  187. 5:52like the best player on the team who's
  188. 5:53trying to go pro, you know, go pro.
  189. 5:56Whatever it may be, like you just need
  190. 5:57to help your audience get to the next
  191. 6:00level of where they're currently at, all
  192. 6:02right?
  193. 6:03And you're going to do that through
  194. 6:04consumable content.
  195. 6:05Now, in terms of going live, okay?
  196. 6:08Because running a community is literally
  197. 6:11all about building a culture and
  198. 6:12environment where people can be able to
  199. 6:13connect, right? This is why I'm so
  200. 6:15bullish on communities now because
  201. 6:16everyone and their dog has purchased a
  202. 6:17course.
  203. 6:19Courses are great, but people are going
  204. 6:20to be craving community more than ever
  205. 6:22as years go by because AI is going to be
  206. 6:23replacing so much stuff and people are
  207. 6:25going to crave human interaction. So,
  208. 6:28these live calls are going to be super
  209. 6:29important, but the problem is is again,
  210. 6:31as I pointed out, way too many of you
  211. 6:32are going live like every second day.
  212. 6:35You're having like three live calls a
  213. 6:36week, which is just overkill, right? Go
  214. 6:38live once per week max, right?
  215. 6:42And if you need to drop this down to
  216. 6:45once every two weeks or once a month, go
  217. 6:46go ahead, right? But you need to start
  218. 6:48off by just being consistent. So, your
  219. 6:50members want to hear from you directly,
  220. 6:52start with maybe one call bi-weekly and
  221. 6:54increase as your volume um of calls, you
  222. 6:56know, are needed as your community
  223. 6:58grows, okay? That is that is basically
  224. 6:59the biggest thing. So, I would probably
  225. 7:01start on the lower end of calls per
  226. 7:03month and then increase the volume of
  227. 7:05calls as your community gets bigger. And
  228. 7:07then as your community gets so big,
  229. 7:08instead of you having to jump on calls
  230. 7:10every single day or once every week, you
  231. 7:12can bring on special guests and you can
  232. 7:13bring on coaches to do all these live
  233. 7:15calls for you, okay?
  234. 7:17Now, if you do all of this properly, you
  235. 7:19start your school community with these,
  236. 7:21you brand it nicely, you create your
  237. 7:24courses with a transformation in mind,
  238. 7:27you have monthly consumable content, and
  239. 7:28you're going live in the correct amount
  240. 7:31of volume, you will experience less than
  241. 7:3310% churn, okay? Aim for 10% churn.
  242. 7:37Anything below 7% is extremely good.
  243. 7:40Um this was something that was shared at
  244. 7:41School Games, you know, if you are below
  245. 7:4310% that is a really good place to be.
  246. 7:45If you're below 7% this is like the
  247. 7:48epitome of success, okay? You should be
  248. 7:50able to manage churn very, very simply
  249. 7:52at below 7%, right? Even just with some
  250. 7:55low-budget retargeting ads you can be
  251. 7:57able to replace the people who are
  252. 7:58churning, okay? So,
  253. 8:00ladies and gentlemen, that's basically
  254. 8:01it for how you can be able to make, you
  255. 8:04know, $25,000 per month with your school
  256. 8:06community. Obviously, like I said, like
  257. 8:08this is what our agency is billing out,
  258. 8:10but just imagine with what our
  259. 8:11communities are doing.
  260. 8:13Um, they are doing, you know, way bigger
  261. 8:14numbers than this. So, just make sure
  262. 8:16you are following exactly step-by-step
  263. 8:19what I laid out here and you're doing
  264. 8:20the complete opposite of what is up
  265. 8:22here. As always, if you have any
  266. 8:23questions, drop them in the comments

  273. 8:34the video. I know it probably helps with
  274. 8:36the uh YouTube algorithm. And um, yeah,
  275. 8:39that's basically it for me, all right?
  276. 8:40Enjoy the rest of your day and I'll see
  277. 8:41you guys in the next video.
