Set up a paid online community on Skool where members pay every month. They get a library of course videos, a discussion feed, and a calendar of recurring live Q&A calls on Google Meet or Zoom. What keeps them paying is that you keep adding new material, run live calls and stay involved. People find it through your YouTube channel or email list.
Enfroy says he runs four or five Skool communities. Skool charges a flat $99 a month no matter how many members you have, and you can drop to a $9-a-month hobby plan for old communities you manage alone. He says many creators start at about $80 a month and raise the price to $150-$200 as organic reach grows. Even a small niche community at $10-$20 a month can be worth $240 per person if members stay two years. For hobby topics, he argues a $1,000 program with a weekly live Q&A is good value, because 52 hour-long sessions works out to about $20 each, cheaper than a local adult-education class. He records lessons in StreamYard, uploads them straight to Skool's built-in video hosting, and uses Zapier to add buyers automatically.
Teachers and hobby experts who enjoy regular live interaction with a group and will keep producing new content every month, rather than recording a course once and walking away.
Recurring paid communities are a real, popular model, and the Skool pricing he quotes is specific (check current rates). The member-price figures are his description of what other creators do, not verified data. Monthly memberships need constant new value or members cancel, which he acknowledges, so this is an ongoing job rather than passive income, and like any paid product it depends on first building an audience that trusts you. The video promotes Skool, Thinkific (30-day trial affiliate link), Kajabi and Mighty Networks with affiliate or trial links, and it pitches Enfroy's own paid communities and programs. Parts of it are older recorded course material.
