Skool Community

Episode #75

🧾 Friday is for tightening the screws: raise the floor, cut the fluff, keep delivery sharp. The Ramen Hustle ends the week with a profitable skill play and the simplest next step to start getting paid.

Your documentation is the first thing developers evaluate before adopting your product. Mintlify helps you ship docs that accelerate adoption, reduce support load, and convert users into customers.

Turn Docs Into Pipeline

❌ The problem: Paid communities launch on vibes, then go quiet after week one. People don’t pay to chat. They pay to solve a problem.

💡 The pitch: Start with a service that produces wins, then bottle those wins into a group.

🚀 The outlook: The best communities will look like ongoing delivery, not hangouts.

A paid community launches and it’s quiet after week one. A tiny client group chat stays busy because everyone has the same problem and a reason to show up.

The shift is that community is not the product. Outcomes are the product. Community is the packaging once you have proof.

The mechanism is simple. Service forces clarity. You learn what people actually need, what they will do, and what they will pay for, then you turn the best fixes into templates and calls.

Anthony Castrio built Indie Worldwide by starting with free calls, then adding a 1-to-1 matching system and charging $290 per year. It’s made about $2,000 to $5,000 per month, with about $1,000 going to software and help.

Turn Delivery Into Programming

Tom Ross built Learn.Community to $50k revenue, and capped the operator load with hard time limits, plus office hours and member-led workshops. He was explicit about building time-savers first so the community stays sustainable.

Monica Lent launched her paid community and pulled in $5,000 in the first week by anchoring it to a clear audience and a clear purpose, then planning growth like a system instead of relying on constant social posting.

The solopreneur takeaway is to sell the outcome engine, then invite people into the room where that engine runs, so the group is a multiplier of delivery instead of a replacement for it.

What this means next is more “service-to-membership” ladders built from real client wins, not guesses. Watch cadence, because without a weekly reason to show up, even good communities fade.

EV charging is moving from “build more” to “make it work.” The NEVI program’s reliability expectations are pushing the conversation toward uptime, maintenance, and operations, including a widely cited 97% uptime requirement for funded fast-charging ports.

Legal and industry guidance for 2026 is already framing public charging as a monetization problem with contracts, site hosts, and maintenance economics, not just hardware. The opening is a service business: field tech dispatch, inspection rounds, and parts logistics for small networks that cannot staff this in-house. Twist: chargers fail for boring reasons, and the operator who fixes boring fastest wins the site partnership.

The opening: Start a “charger uptime” maintenance route for one metro area.
