Skool · Albert Shiney·$7/month · $49/year (7-day free trial)Albert Shiney's Skool community (≈164.8k members), one of the largest of its kind, built around a 7-day challenge that takes a beginner from zero to a first AI automation agency client, with daily software giveaways and a newer optional 1:1 mentorship add-on. It is $7/month after a 7-day free trial, and the page states the price becomes $50/month for new members once it passes 165,000. Funnels toward an external paid tool (Buildmyagent). Best for beginners wanting a fast, cheap challenge; skip it if you want tool-specific depth instead.
