Nail Techs: Build a SKOOL Community and Earn $10K+/Month Doing What You Love!
Turn your skills into a thriving digital business. Teach, connect, and get paid every month—without doing nails all day.
🔍 What is SKOOL?
Skool is an online platform where you can build your own private community — like a Facebook group, but better.
It lets you:
Host a group of people who share the same interest (like cooking, nails, fitness, etc.)
Sell access to that group — so you can charge people monthly to join
Post lessons, videos, challenges, or anything you want to teach
Talk to your members through posts and comments
Track progress and keep members engaged with points and leaderboards
💡 Think of it like:
Patreon + Facebook Group + Online Course — all in one place
But simpler, cleaner, and built for creators who want to build a real community.
Why Nail Techs Love SKOOL:
No need for a salon chair
Share tutorials, tips, or training
