honest reviews and guides

Skool, side projects and making money online

I'm John. I write about tools and platforms that help you build an income online. Right now I'm focused on Skool, the community platform. No fluff, no fake hype. Just honest opinions from someone who actually uses this stuff.

Why Skool?

Skool is a community platform backed by Alex Hormozi. It lets you create communities with courses, gamification and built-in payments. I've been using it for a while and writing about it since 2024. If you're thinking about starting a community or joining one, I've probably covered it.

  • Skool Pricing
    A breakdown of the Hobby ($9/mo) and Pro ($99/mo) plans. Transaction fees, the break-even point, and which plan to pick.
  • How to Make Money on Skool

About me

I'm John Simeone. I've been building websites and writing code for years but I spent most of that time stuck in a loop of starting projects and never finishing them. I got out of that loop by changing the way I work. Now I write about the tools and strategies that actually move the needle. No courses to sell you, just content.
  • Blog
    Long form guides, reviews and tutorials. Mostly about Skool right now but also covering web dev tools and frameworks.
  • Skool Affiliate
    I use Skool myself and earn through their affiliate program. My content is honest but I do include affiliate links.
