Is anyone using skool or a similar platform for a course?

11 replies
This summer, I am taking my sweet leisure time to create a course to be hosted at skool dot com. As I am creating my course, I am documenting my step by step way of doing it.

It is for my hobby of lottery play using DATA as the tracking methodology, or I sometimes call it lottery "moneyball". The film MONEYBALL with Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill is about how the Oakland A's brought statistical analysis into the game and since then how sports now invest a lot in analytics.

The core philosophy of Moneyball remains identical: replace gut-feeling scouting with empirical data, ignore flashy but inefficient skills, and maximize team efficiency on a limited budget. I want to bring that to a small % of Lottery Players who use data and not emotion (birthdays, old addresses, etc.) or magic (hunches, dream interpretation, etc.) to play the lottery games.

So for the Warriors, do we have anyone using skool, or a similar platform and if so, can you give me some insights to how you may have structured your courses?

I want minimum video, minimum chit chat, just a here it is, get it if you want it type thing.

If using something other than skool, can you share why you chose that platform.

Thanks in advance.

  • I haven't personally used Skool, but I have heard many course creators like it because it combines courses, community discussions, and member engagement in one place. It seems like a good option for building an active learning community.

    Hello GordonJ!!!

    I have been on Skool for about a year and so far I've
    developed 150+ courses there.

    Not sure whether lottery content is permitted, it's in the
    terms, you should check before proceeding:

    https://www.skool.com/legal?t=acceptable-use

    Otherwise, I highly recommend it, there's crazy money
    being made, some members' MRR is through the roof,
    there are currently two Skoolers competing to see who
    reaches $1M MRR - that Is ONE MILLION DOLLARS
    IN MONTHLY RECURRING REVENUE!!!

    Then there are all the others making lesser amounts like
    $50K, or even just $10K. Skool issues "badges" based
    on actual earnings so there's proof, it's not just claims.

    There's also Skool Games where we can see all of the
    top earners' MRR - the dollar amounts being made is
    astonishing.

    Skool has a fantastic affiliate program that's also making
    millionaires, and there are dozens of business models
    such as coaching, consulting, providing other services,
    so it's filled with opportunities for online marketers.

    What happened to your tip sheet thing?

    I mean, 5000 tips sheets a month at local carryouts for $1 each, and you've made 5 grand. Split half with the carryout, and you've made $2500.

    Plus, your tip sheet leads them to a website where they can buy more?

    The old school stuff still works, Gordon

  • Prahblem we gaht rn is we so satchraytid with content, an' courses an' info, it is way easiah to SWITCH THE FRICK OFF before the next darn gurusome ovaload invayiddes both inbox & soul.

    Howevah ... if'n you on a partickuler journey ... an' you see a sign in the road promisin' glories ... what bettah process you need than "just here it is"?

    As the IRL means of destructschwaahn proliferate daily as make the Zaaahmbie Apocalypse a walk in the park, evrywan wants to git from A to B sweetah & surer, I guess.

    Speakin' poisnlly, I would always wish for a zucchini in my funnel, but I see valyoo in a minimlised sloose.

    Will Skool permit Moneyball?

    Who knows?

    Be cool to see what happins.

      Thanks PB and Monitize, I asked before I leaped. My whitepaper is:

      Combinatorial Field Reduction via Nested Structural Filtering,
      Predictive Trend Tipping Points, and Integrated Capital Allocation
      Portfolio Architecture.


      The lottery lab will focus on the math behind this theory, not a typical prediction type site and is targeted toward a very small less than 1% of all lottery players who use statistical analysis for their plays. These people are more akin to ROI day traders who only look at bottom line at the end of the year.

      And big thanks to Max5ty too, who helped me test and choose what I actually wanted, and through a two year process, came to this conclusion; MY prospects are very targeted and specific, not general lottery players, but we (partners) may have something for them but I won't have any public face for that).

      Thanks for your thoughts.

    I think you should further narrow down your market.

    Do your target really want math or do they are really after the end result?
    If it's the latter, I don't know the niche, but you might want to look up courses with respect to blockchain for developers for inspiration, that's the closest thing: the core is deeply mathematical , but it is focused more on practical implementation (e.g. the math checks out but things like formal proofs are --I believe-- mostly handwaved away). The jargon is also very specialized.


    In my experience, there isn't really a lot of market for advanced math classes in the private sector. It's not like e.g. IT where there is a bazillion certifications.
    Math education past freshman year is almost exclusively the domain of academia and for very good reasons. But mostly, there is almost always a simpler and cheaper way to do things than math. So there is no real incentive to explore deeper than that beyond the ivory tower.

      You make a very valid point socialentry; all lottery players, gamers, sports bettors want results. Practical implementation is exactly what the offer will be. Truthfully, the math is already done, the skooler will not be doing the math, just using it in a practical planned out way to play.

      They may not even understand it. But they don't need to. Their part is using the charts and tracking forms for whatever lottery they play, a simple 5 min a day strategy, once they have the forms and follow directions.

      You hit the nail squarely on the head (on my mind because my neighbor is getting a new roof put on today, so I type this to the beat of the hammers) so thanks for the reminder, RESULTS are the real reason for the skool.

    I have a skool account as I'm a big fan of Alex Hormozi but I don't currently use it for hosting any communities.

    Im in a few communities though.

    It's a platform that I'm considering for hosting my community though.

    Yes,I am using Skool for one of my classes.I appreciate how everything related to the course,including discussions and events,can be found on one platform.It has been easy to navigate,and it helps in keeping people engaged.I have used other similar platforms such as Circle and Mighty Networks, but I find Skool easier to use.
