Full transcript
- 0:00Let's build the home for your business,
- 0:02which is going to be your school
- 0:03community. So, right here on the screen,
- 0:05this is what you'll have at some point
- 0:07with your school. And if you want to
- 0:09launch your school, you can just
- 0:11literally go over to school.com
- 0:14/make once. And if you go right here,
- 0:17you can just click this and launch your
- 0:19school. And then you'll get to a place
- 0:21where you can basically set up your
- 0:23school. So, if you click this,
- 0:26it'll just say launch your school. It'll
- 0:28say that you were invited by Mike
- 0:30Gowans. I get a little bit of credit for
- 0:31that. Thank you. And then you just click
- 0:34create your community. And then you're
- 0:36going to sign up, okay? And then once
- 0:38you sign up, you're going to be building
- 0:40out something like this, which we're
- 0:42going to cover here in just a moment.
- 0:44And what you'll do next is you'll just
- 0:45pick a simple name for your school. Let
- 0:47me give you an example here. So, this
- 0:49one is about pickleball. So,
- 0:52pickleball school. Pretty simple.
- 0:54This one's about AI automation. So,
- 0:56that's what they named it. Or
- 0:57calligraphy school, the acting lab. It's
- 1:00about acting, okay? School of mentors,
- 1:02okay? It's about that. Pocket singers,
- 1:04okay? Trading for women.
- 1:07Family screen time challenge. So,
- 1:09basically what you're doing is you're
- 1:11just picking something simple and keep
- 1:13it very, very simple. So, when you start
- 1:15it, you can start a free school or you
- 1:18can do a low entry point or you can
- 1:21really charge whatever you want, but let
- 1:23me let's just look at what some of the
- 1:24top schools and what some of these other
- 1:26schools are charging, okay? You want to
- 1:27just keep it simple, okay? You can
- 1:29always change the price. It's a lot
- 1:31easier to go,
- 1:32uh, you know, from the bottom up than it
- 1:34is from the top down, okay? So, let's
- 1:36just take a look at this. So, like this
- 1:38school, uh, it's nine bucks a month.
- 1:411,000 members times nine bucks a month
- 1:43is 9,000 a month. This one's 39. This
- 1:45one is a free one. Look, 49,
- 1:4999,
- 1:50119. So, you see the pricing there. Like
- 1:53mine, I just mine's at $59 a month. And
- 1:56one of the cool things that you can do
- 1:58is like on mine, my price is going to go
- 2:01up to 109 at 500 members. So, right now,
- 2:05if you get in at like four like we have
- 2:07430 members,
- 2:10you can get in now at $59 a month and
- 2:12you'll lock in your price. So, when the
- 2:14price goes up, it doesn't go up for you.
- 2:17It just stays the same. So, you get a
- 2:18better deal.
- 2:19That's something that you can do with
- 2:21your school as well. And then you're
- 2:23going to set up what your school's
- 2:24about. Mine's real simple. It's how to
- 2:25create a highly profitable online
- 2:27education business using AI School and
- 2:29YouTube, which is what we've been
- 2:30learning about today. Then you can put a
- 2:32little video here. You can put some
- 2:34testimonials here. Like we've got all
- 2:36these testimonials of people that um you
- 2:40know, have done well. Like you know,
- 2:411,800 a day, another sale, 2,100 in 2
- 2:44weeks. So, that helps, right? And then
- 2:46you can put a video about your business.
- 2:49We've got one here shows when we won the
- 2:50School Games. We've got video here, some
- 2:53testimonials,
- 2:55another testimonial, you know, just some
- 2:57stuff to show different things about
- 2:59what's inside. And you're usually just
- 3:01showing what's inside, right? And then
- 3:03down below here, you can have again,
- 3:06what's inside. Keep it very simple.
- 3:09Okay? And then they can join. That's
- 3:11what you want to do when you get in
- 3:12there. Just either pick a low price or
- 3:15you can go free and then they've got a
- 3:17tiered model, which in some coming
- 3:20videos here, I'm going to show you how
- 3:21that all works out, okay? And that's
- 3:24that's it. that it's real simple. So,
- 3:26now let's dive into the classroom. All
- 3:28right, so let's set up your classroom.
- 3:29This is where you're going to put the
- 3:30stuff that people are coming to get. And
- 3:32remember, they're coming more for the
- 3:34accountability, the support, being a
- 3:36part of a group. You know, it's more
- 3:39about getting that transformation,
- 3:40having that feedback.
- 3:42But they're also going to need the
- 3:43step-by-step playbook, too. And we call
- 3:46this like the blueprint or the road map.
- 3:48And you set this up inside your
- 3:49classroom. And just remember, you want
- 3:51to keep this extremely simple because
- 3:53simple actually creates speed, speed
- 3:56creates proof, proof creates trust, and
- 4:00that's what we want. So, let's take a
- 4:01look at how this works. Once you get
- 4:03inside of here, you'll you'll it'll look
- 4:05something similar to this. You obviously
- 4:06wouldn't have any members yet, but you
- 4:08would go up here to your classroom, and
- 4:11in your classroom, yours will be empty,
- 4:13but what it'll look like is this right
- 4:15down here. It'll say create a new
- 4:17course. You just click on that. You can
- 4:19name the module. You can choose a
- 4:21description, and then you can choose how
- 4:22it unlocks, and I'll be covering all
- 4:24this stuff in some other videos. Of
- 4:26course, we cover inside of the course.
- 4:27You want to create something that is
- 4:29like your start here. So, this is the
- 4:31back of the Make Once. We have our 7-day
- 4:33rapid launch blueprint. This like gets
- 4:35people up and going. Then we've got step
- 4:37one, helps them create their course
- 4:39idea, then, you know, the course
- 4:41structuring agent, the teaching style,
- 4:44you know, come up with their price and
- 4:45offer, how to do the YouTube, how to
- 4:47create school so that it converts, how
- 4:49to get traffic and scale. And then I
- 4:51teach people how to use school and
- 4:53CapCut and Chat GPT and all this stuff,
- 4:56which you can do whatever you need to do
- 4:58to get the point across and to solve the
- 5:00problem, but you want to create a module
- 5:02or a course like this, and I have this
- 5:04as like the start here. So, when people
- 5:06join our program, they start here, and
- 5:09then I take them through welcome, the
- 5:11weekly rhythm, what is this, what is
- 5:14this, what is this, and then, you know,
- 5:16I get them into the
- 5:18you know, the launch and the blueprint,
- 5:19and I just walk them through as simple
- 5:20videos. So, that's what you're going to
- 5:23want to do is you're going to want to
- 5:24create your first module, which is that
- 5:26start here module, so that when people
- 5:29join, they can start here. And you're
- 5:31just going to build this as you go. Now,
- 5:33what's cool about this is you can
- 5:35actually put in, you know, PDFs, you can
- 5:37put links in here. You can link them to
- 5:40Google Docs. You can put the transcript
- 5:43of all your videos in there.
- 5:45And you know, people can search and find
- 5:48things.
- 5:49And this is cool. This is where you put
- 5:50like your templates and your PDFs and
- 5:52all the stuff that they need to to solve
- 5:54the problem or to figure out the thing,
- 5:56right? Then you have this calendar here
- 5:58where you can you can see we do a weekly
- 6:00call and you know, people can click on
- 6:03that and then they can come to our live
- 6:05call and I help them. I support them.
- 6:08Those recordings then go into the
- 6:09classroom and then they can come back in
- 6:12here and you know, all those recordings
- 6:15just go inside of here weekly these
- 6:17weekly workshops and then they can get
- 6:19in here and they can watch those weekly
- 6:21workshops. So, it's really cool, right?
- 6:24And here's the thing that you want to
- 6:25remember.
- 6:26People are not going to
- 6:29you know, join you because things are
- 6:30perfect. They're going to join you
- 6:32because you actually launched it because
- 6:34there's actually something there and
- 6:36they're going to grow along with you.
- 6:38You don't like wait till it's all
- 6:39perfect and then launch. You get an
- 6:41outline of what you're going to do. You
- 6:43think about some start here moments, you
- 6:45know, like what they need to know like
- 6:46an onboarding and then you launch the
- 6:48damn thing and you get going. Again, you
- 6:51can't make something better that doesn't
- 6:53exist and you don't want to
- 6:55take all the time to build something
- 6:57until you've proven it out and got that
- 6:59concept figured out. But, it's so
- 7:01inexpensive to get started. You can
- 7:03launch your school and you can get going
- 7:05and people can join and build along with
- 7:08you. Okay? They'll get on the calls with
- 7:10you. It's very, very simple. You'll have
- 7:12a weekly call that you do. You'll have
- 7:14the community working together.
- 7:16Everybody's helping each other. You can
- 7:18then take them on this journey and they
- 7:21can join you as a founding member and
- 7:23then they get a special perk because
- 7:25they're at that moment where they're
- 7:27with the founders, right? The founding
- 7:29group and they kind of you know, they
- 7:31kind of hold that close to their heart.
- 7:32They're like, "Oh, I was part of the
- 7:33founding group." And then they watch you
- 7:35grow. They get a little special, you
- 7:37know, lower price because they were
- 7:38building it with you
- 7:40and then you can launch, optimize, and
- 7:41grow and increase the price as you want.
- 7:43You want to get that thing launched.
- 7:45Don't worry about perfection. Get the
- 7:46dang thing up and going and you'll have
- 7:49your school here. There's so many neat
- 7:51things that you can do. You've got, like
- 7:52I said, the classroom, the community tab
- 7:54up here. It's so neat, right? It's so
- 7:56cool. So again, I don't want you to
- 7:58overthink this. I don't want you to sit
- 8:00there and rummage around with it. That's
- 8:01the worst thing you can do. The best
- 8:03condition that you could ever have is
- 8:05just starting. You're never going to
- 8:06feel like it's time. It's never going to
- 8:08feel perfect. You just start. And your
- 8:11first 10 members are joining because
- 8:14you're actually building something.
- 8:16You're not thinking about building
- 8:17something.
