Hey Navigators 🧭
This episode was a bit different.
Instead of just features…
it was a behind-the-scenes look at what’s actually working right now on Skool.
From the Skool Games event in LA.
And honestly…
this is where things click.
Because you don’t just hear theory.
You see real communities.
Real niches.
Real numbers.
🎬 SKOOL GAMES EVENT (WHAT WENT DOWN)
Winners flew out to LA.
Red carpet.
Live talks.
Photos.
Time to connect and talk shop.
Not just “sit and listen.”
More like:
👉 meet other builders
👉 share ideas
👉 see what’s actually working
And yes…
a lot of casual conversations.
That’s usually where the best insights come from anyway.
💡 11 UNIQUELY PROFITABLE EXAMPLES
Here’s what stood out:
📸 The Photo Project
About $30k/month
Photography community
🎸 Grateful Mic
~$4k/month
Super niche → fans of Grateful Dead learning guitar
🤖 AI Video Bootcamp
~$133k/month
This one was wild.
Notifications going off every ~30–60 seconds.
Same audience.
Same platform.
Different positioning → completely different scale
🥗 Club Raw
~$18k/month
🧠 Identity / mindset (Mandarin market)
~$12k/month
✨ Manifestation School
~$4k/month
🧬 Gut Health Community
~$23k/month
💼 Career Development
(another solid performer in the mix)
🥋 Jiu-Jitsu Community
~$7.6k/month
…and more in the room.
Around 40 creators total.
Different niches.
Different audiences.
Same platform.
🧠 WHAT’S THE PATTERN?
This is the part most people miss.
It’s not about the niche.
It’s about how clearly it’s defined.
Look at the range:
AI video
gut health
jiu-jitsu
manifestation
guitar for one specific band
No overlap.
No “general business advice.”
Each one is:
👉 specific
👉 clear
👉 easy to understand
That’s why it works.
🗺️ ROADMAP (QUICK PEEK)
Main focus stays the same:
👉 Discovery + Search
What’s coming:
- new search (major upgrade)
- trending feed (more dynamic discovery)
- better attribution (cleaner data)
Goal is simple:
help you get more members from inside Skool
Not just from outside traffic.
🔍 NEW SEARCH (SNEAK PEEK)
They showed a quick demo.
Example:
Old search → messy, irrelevant
New search → actually understands intent
Even:
handles typos
understands similar words
works better across languages
That’s big.
Because search is already the #1 source of Skool Network traffic.
If that improves…
everything improves.
🎯 WHAT THIS REALLY MEANS
My take:
This episode is not about “11 communities.”
It’s about proof.
Proof that:
👉 You don’t need a massive audience
👉 You don’t need a trendy niche
👉 You don’t need to be everywhere
You need:
a clear niche
a clear outcome
a simple path into your community
That’s it.
Some people had:
40 members → $10k+
small audiences → high revenue
simple ideas → strong positioning
That’s the game.
