Derrick Jaxn's Skool: 2,071 Members at $7 a Month

Better Convos is Derrick Jaxn's podcast membership on Skool, and on 7 September 2026 it held 2,071 members and earned $2,000.58 in monthly recurring revenue at $7 a month, ranked 41st in Relationships and 2,953rd globally. Revenue per member was 97 cents, which is 13.8% of the button.

That room holds four separate records on the fifty room Relationships board at once: the largest roster, the cheapest price, the lowest revenue per member, and the thinnest staffing at one admin for all 2,071 people.

Who is Derrick Jaxn?

Derrick Jaxn is the founder of Better Convos, listed on Skool under the handle derrick-jackson-1304 with the profile title "Derrick Jaxn" and a bio reading "I create strategies to help you get your power back." He is a relationship commentator with a large existing audience, which the about page treats as the entry point rather than something it needs to explain.

He is also a public figure whose name carries heavy branded search demand about his personal life. Of the fifteen suggestions Google returned for "derrick jaxn" on 7 September 2026, six concerned his marriage, divorce or a controversy and three concerned his work. We are not adjudicating any of that, and we cannot measure what any of it contributes to the roster; it is recorded only because it is the search environment this business sits inside.

Derrick Jaxn

Founder of Better Convos, created on Skool on 11 October 2025 and run as the room's only admin. The Skool profile carries the title "Derrick Jaxn" and a bio reading "I create strategies to help you get your power back." The viral clips, the exclusive episodes, the extended call-ins and every other claim quoted below are the founder's own published copy and we have verified none of them. The member count, the $7 button price, the post count and the revenue figures come from the live about page and Skool's public Games board, both read on 7 September 2026.

It is 568 characters and it assumes the reader already knows who is speaking. Below is the copy as published, with curly apostrophes set straight. No wording was changed, dropped or supplied, and no headings were added. Hover a number for our reading.

Why does the largest roster earn the least per person?

Because $7 is the cheapest price on the board and only a fraction of the roster appears to be paying it. 2,071 members at $7 would be $14,497 a month; the room collects $2,000.58, which is 13.8%. Divide the revenue by the price and you get roughly 286 paying seats, or about one in seven of the listed headcount.

That is not a failure, it is a shape. A low share of sticker usually means the roster includes people who joined without paying and Skool counts them, though discounted, annual, legacy and lapsed seats can produce the same reading. The room at rank 36 reads 3.9% of its own button and the room at rank 42 reads 16.7%, so this is the ordinary condition of a large free-to-enter community. What makes this one unusual is the size of the free layer, roughly 1,785 people.

The strategic question is whether that layer is an asset or an overhead. At $7 it is very cheap to convert someone, and 286 paying seats out of 2,071 is a conversion rate a lot of operators would take. But a free member still reads the feed, still asks questions and still counts against a single admin's attention. See the Skool freemium model for what the free layer costs and how to price a Skool community for whether $7 is leaving money on the table.

Can one admin run a 2,071 member room?

On this design, yes, and that is the most useful thing in the breakdown. One admin per 2,071 members is the thinnest staffing on the whole board, and the room is not obviously failing, because the product does not require the founder to be present.

The about page promises exclusive episodes, extended call-ins and deeper conversations. All three are recorded assets. There is no live call, no coaching, no accountability structure and no community promise anywhere in the copy. A membership that delivers recordings scales to any roster size, because publishing an episode costs the same for two thousand members as for twenty.

The post count confirms it. 378 posts across 2,071 members is 0.18 each, the lowest ratio in this batch by a distance, against 3.77 at Circulo de Diosas and 6.70 at Patriarchy.com. This is not a discussion community that happens to have a podcast; it is a podcast feed that happens to sit on community software. Twenty four courses and 132 modules is a substantial shelf, and it is the asset doing the work.

The exposure is that it all rests on one name. Revenue fell $186.00, or 8.51%, in the thirty days to 7 September 2026, and listed traffic was 90, among the lowest on the board. A room with no discovery traffic and no second admin depends entirely on the founder continuing to publish elsewhere.

The formula you can copy

Only open with "you've heard the clips" if they have. This page's first line is worth more than most entire about pages, and it is worth nothing to an operator without an existing audience. If nobody has heard your clips, you need the page to do the work that his audience does. See whether you need an audience to start a Skool community for the version of this problem from zero.

Negate the objection before you make the promise. "No sugarcoating. No gender wars. No cycled dating cliches." pre-empts what a sceptical reader expects from this category. Three negations cost one line and they buy the positive line that follows.

Match the price to the labour. A $7 membership that delivers recordings can carry 2,071 members on one admin. A $97 membership that delivers live access cannot carry four hundred. Decide which of those two businesses you are in before you set a price, because the wrong pairing kills you slowly.

Do not confuse a large roster with a large business. 2,071 members produced $2,000.58 here, and 20 members produced $1,746.00 at another room on the same board. Headcount means little unless you also know what share of it pays. See how to write a Skool about page and Skool community engagement for what happens when a feed goes quiet.

Frequently asked questions

What is Derrick Jaxn's Skool community?

Better Convos is Derrick Jaxn's podcast membership on Skool, created on 11 October 2025 at the slug self-crowned-inner-circle-1777. On 7 September 2026 it listed 2,071 members, one admin and 378 posts, and ranked 41st in Relationships and 2,953rd globally with $2,000.58 in monthly recurring revenue. The published offer is exclusive episodes, extended call-ins and deeper conversations, sitting on a shelf of 24 courses and 132 modules.

How much does Better Convos cost?

$7 a month on the live join button on 7 September 2026, a single price with no additional membership products configured in Skool's metadata. That is the cheapest price of all fifty rooms on the Relationships board. Revenue per member was 97 cents, which is 13.8% of the button. Prices change, so check the community's own page before buying.

Is Better Convos the biggest community in Skool Relationships?

By roster, yes. Its 2,071 members were the largest of the fifty rooms on the Relationships board on 7 September 2026, ahead of Topia Love at 2,049 and Derek Hart's How Couples Heal at 1,869. By revenue it ranked 41st of 50 at $2,000.58, which is the point: on this board a 2,071 member room, a 1,404 member room and a 20 member room produced $2,000.58, $2,543.67 and $1,746.00 respectively, so size and revenue came apart completely.

Why is revenue per member only 97 cents?

Because the roster includes members who are not paying and Skool counts them in the total. At $7 a month, $2,000.58 implies roughly 286 paying seats out of 2,071 listed, or about one in seven. That is the ordinary shape of a free-to-enter community and not evidence of anything going wrong, but it means the headcount cannot be read as a customer count.

Can you make money from a podcast on Skool?

This room is one working answer: a $2,000.58 monthly recurring business built on recordings, run by one person, from an audience acquired elsewhere. The structure works because a recorded deliverable costs the same to serve two thousand members as twenty. The constraint is acquisition, not delivery, and this room's listed traffic of 90 shows the platform is contributing almost none of it. A podcast membership is monetising an audience you already have, not building one.

Is a cheap price better for a Skool community?

It depends what you are delivering. $7 with recordings supports the largest roster on this board on a single admin. $97 with monthly live access supports twenty members and earns almost the same monthly revenue. Cheap prices buy volume and forgive a low conversion rate; high prices buy time to serve people properly and punish a thin roster. What does not work is a cheap price attached to a promise that requires your personal attention.
