โ€ข Skool has an affiliate program that rewards you for inviting others.
โ€ข Share your unique affiliate link (found in your settings).
โ€ข When someone joins or subscribes through your link, you earn commissions.
โ€ข Affiliates are a great way to grow the community while supporting your own goals.
โ€ข Affiliates are optional โ€” you donโ€™t need to use them to enjoy the community.

โ€ข Tip: Share your affiliate link in your bio or pinned posts for visibility.
