Hey Tampa Bay Skoolers, I figured I’d throw this out there in our group since there’s only a handful of us here so far. Over the past year I’ve had some encouraging wins with Skool, and it convinced me there’s a real opportunity if you stay consistent and keep building. So for the next 12 months I’m going all in on Skool. My goal is to get to 750 total members across three communities and grow that into around $30K/month in MRR between membership revenue and affiliate income connected to the communities. Obviously that doesn’t happen easily or overnight, but the plan is pretty simple: • Build genuinely helpful niche communities • Keep improving the content and resources inside them • Market them through YouTube and other channels • Stay consistent and let things compound over time One of the reasons I started this Tampa Bay Skoolers group is because doing this kind of work can be a little isolating. Most people in your everyday life don’t really understand the whole online community / creator world. It’s going to be so nice having a local group where people actually get what you're working on. I’d be curious to hear what goals everyone else here has for the next year too. It will be cool to see what this small group builds over the next 12 months.

Clear your calendar. Get a babysitter. Tell the spouse you’re “going to a business meeting.” 😄 We’re kicking off our first Tampa Bay Skoolers meetup at Southern Grounds & Co. If you run a Skool community in Tampa Bay, come grab a coffee, chat, and connect with other creators who actually understand what you do online. When you work for yourself building things on the internet, the people around you at home don’t always get it. This is a chance to meet others who do. Come hang out, talk about what you’re building, swap ideas, and make some new connections. Who knows what could come from it. (This is a casual, laidback meetup) 🙂 Here's the meetup link

Hi everyone! My name is Amanda. I’m in Lakeland, FL, but I’m always happy to travel to connect with other Skoolers. I run two communities on Skool — one called Cool Dog Skool, and the other is a free service dog educational space connected to my nonprofit service dog organization, ASA Service Dogs. I’ve been in the Skool ecosystem for about a year now. Looking forward to meeting some new people and seeing what everyone’s building! 🚀

If you're here, there's a good chance you're part of the Skool ecosystem, and you live somewhere around the Tampa Bay area. Which probably means one thing… You spend a lot of time behind a laptop building something. Courses. Communities. Online businesses. Content. Marketing projects. I’m an online marketer myself, and at some point I realized something… I probably need more friends who actually understand what the hell I’m talking about. (Because my wife sure doesn't) That’s the whole idea behind this group. No awkward networking events. No pitch fests. No name tags. Just Skool members meeting up in real life to hang out, talk about what we're building, share ideas, and support each other. Most meetups will happen in or around St. Petersburg, since it's pretty central for Tampa Bay. So if you're in Tampa, St Pete, Clearwater, Sarasota, Bradenton, or nearby, you’re in the right place. First thing to do: Drop a comment below and tell us: • What city you're in • What you're building on Skool (or online) • And how long you've been in the Skool ecosystem Looking forward to meeting some of you in real life. Let’s build something cool in Tampa Bay.
