🎨 Creatives: How to Start a Business on Skool (Without the Overwhelm)

As a creative — designer, artist, photographer, writer, or content creator — you have skills people want to learn from. Skool makes it easy to turn your knowledge into a thriving business.

It’s like having a course platform, community hub, and coaching portal — all in one place (without the tech stress).

Here’s how to get started:

🎯 Step 1: Pick a Niche

Choose a focused creative audience:

  • Beginner graphic designers

  • Etsy sellers or digital artists

  • Freelance copywriters

  • Aspiring photographers

Make it specific — the more clear your niche, the faster you grow.

🛠️ Step 2: Create Your Free Skool Group

Head to Skool and launch your group with a clear name and purpose, like:

  • “Freelance Design Mastery”

  • “Writing Clients Academy”

  • “Creative Biz Bootcamp”

🎁 Step 3: Upload Value

Start with 1 or 2 useful pieces:

  • A pricing template for creatives

  • A short course on getting freelance clients

  • Your go-to creative process checklist

📢 Step 4: Share It

Invite your followers or past clients:

  • Share the group link in Instagram stories

  • DM peers who’d benefit

  • Add it to your Link in Bio

  • Mention it in your email list

This builds interest and trust.

💰 Step 5: Add a Paid Offer

Once you’ve built connection, offer something more:

  • 1:1 portfolio reviews

  • Group coaching for freelancers

  • Templates or done-for-you assets

  • A creative business mentorship

You don’t need a fancy funnel — just real value and engagement.
