What skill set do you expect someone to already know before joining Maker School?
I don’t expect any prior knowledge or skills to join Maker School. All you need is the ability to drag and drop files—if you can move a file into the recycle bin, you’re good to go.
The road map for somebody that's starting from a complete beginner is right over here. It's called road mapap to 25k a month with automation. Check out this link. It is what will teach you everything you need to know as my free resource. If you want paid, head over to Maker School where I'll run you through it in significantly more detail and hold your hand through the process. Hey Nick, just learned about you a few days ago and I watch the school games awards. Think you fit right in with ROS and Sam. Very valuable stuff. Thank you very much.
Maker School is a daily accountability program on the School platform that helps you get your first AI customer in 90 days with a money‑back guarantee. It’s not about gatekeeping knowledge; I provide daily check‑ins, text chat, video reviews, a daily curriculum to improve your chances of landing a first client, plus templates, lead‑generation methods, live coaching, and $21k in software discounts. The value is compiling the information into a simple roadmap. It also covers using MCP to duplicate templates into a workspace via API keys, which can be done in about 90 seconds.
Results come from consistent daily habits—completing tasks, building grit, and gaining your first client. It’s not about a fixed timeline; the program works if you put in the effort, and many members have landed clients quickly (e.g., first‑month wins, part‑time $11k/month, etc.). The process is boring but effective: a big task list walked through step by step. If you can go from zero to one fast, you’ll scale from one to a thousand fast. I encourage you to join Maker School and learn directly from the source, focusing on consistency and foundational business concepts rather than chasing a specific model.
Being 15‑20 gives you a mixed bag: younger people can be seen as inexperienced, but also as naturally tech‑savvy. I’d front‑load Upwork applications until you land your first client, and spend the first few weeks on community posting. You probably don’t have a full‑time job yet, so you can watch my videos, do direct outreach, and land that first client. Once you have a paying client and can justify the expense, consider joining Maker School. Until then, the free content should give you plenty of value.
