Skool users can sign up to learn about everything from eCommerce to art. And they're often happy to pay monthly fees to do so. This is great news for creators who have been giving away educational content on social media for free and want to convert this knowledge into income.
Skool is ideal for coaches, consultants, and educators who've hit a growth plateau with 1-to-1 calls and free content. You can sell the same lessons within Skool to scale your helpful knowledge into a more passive business.
Achieving scale, however, requires automation. Here's how Zapier's automated workflows—called Zaps—will help you max out Skool's features and achieve new heights.
New to Zapier? It's workflow automation software that lets you focus on what matters. Combine user interfaces, data tables, and logic with thousands of apps to build and automate anything you can imagine. Sign up for free to use this app, and thousands more, with Zapier.

Export Skool leads to email campaigns
The first rule of creating a community as an online creator? Build an email list. If you have a robust list of interested students, you'll never have to rely on social media for your reach. Any time you have a new product to sell, you can take it directly to your email list and score all sorts of new purchases.
So, let's say your Skool community is getting some attention already. Now you need a way to turn those leads into a private email list. You can use one of these workflows to export new Skool leads to your email marketing software.

Turn one-time purchases into recurring Skool membership
If you have a skill to share online, 1-on-1 lessons might be lucrative, but this business model also has a flat ceiling. There are, after all, only so many hours in the day. To achieve scale, you might turn your skills into a product, like an eBook.
The problem? There's also a ceiling on digital products because one-time purchases don't necessarily turn into recurring revenue for your business. But they can!
Set a Zap so that every product purchase automatically invites your customers to join your Skool community. Think of it as upselling your Skool subscription. Since customers have already shown interest in your knowledge by downloading your product, they're the perfect candidates to join a paid community.
If even a fraction of those customers turn into new community members, you'll have automated a customer-to-student pipeline. And once you've set the Zap, there's no additional work on your end.
