Joey Does Tech Skool: Electronics Repair at $19

The Joey Does Tech Skool community, listed as Electronics Repair, is a $19 a month room holding 482 members and 12 courses on 7 September 2026, and its about page positions it as diagnosis through real broken devices rather than through theory. Its offer is unusual in one specific way: it names, as a target buyer, the person who does not know what to fix.

Who is Joey Does Tech?

Joey Does Tech is a repair creator with a YouTube channel, an eBay shop and a Discord, whose Skool bio reads "I help people repair electronics through practical ways. Whether it's for fun, or to earn". He is the searchable asset here, and the search results say so.

Joey Does Tech

Founder of the Electronics Repair community on Skool. His bio describes his aim as helping people repair electronics practically, for fun or for income. He publishes repair work on YouTube, sells through an eBay shop, runs joeydoestech.com and is active on Instagram and X under the same handle.

Google autocomplete returns fifteen suggestions for "joey does tech" and every one is him: the eBay shop, the Discord, the microscope, the equipment list, the raffle, and "joey does tech skool". That is the same shape we saw with Ben Heath and it is the opposite of what a room named after a concept gets.

What does the Electronics Repair community sell?

It sells practical fault finding: a beginner curriculum that gets you through your first device repair, group diagnosis sessions on real faults, expert help with the repairs you are personally stuck on, and guidance on charging for the work. Below is the about page word for word, with the key parts numbered. Hover a number to see what each line is doing.

The fifth "who's this for" line is the whole insight. Every other room in this category sells to someone with a broken phone. This one also sells to someone with nothing broken, which is a much larger group and a much harder one to serve, because it means the community has to supply the projects as well as the answers. That is a genuine differentiator and it is a real operational cost.

Why does a hobby community charge $19 and not $9?

Because it is not selling a library, it is selling other people's attention on your specific broken device, and that does not scale down. Three of the five listed benefits are humans: the founder, group diagnosis sessions, and experts looking at your own repair.

Six line items, four of them recurring human effort. At $19 across 482 members that is a maximum of $9,158 a month before Skool's cut, split across three admins, which is a workload with a ceiling. The price is not high because the content is scarce; it is high because the help is.

Does the "hobby, side hustle or full time" framing do any work?

Yes, and it is the reason this room can charge more than a hobby room usually can. Putting all three on one line lets a buyer arrive as a hobbyist and mentally price the subscription as a business expense, without the page ever having to promise an income.

The autocomplete data supports the framing. "Learn electronics repair" returns fifteen suggestions dominated by free and YouTube modifiers, which is a hobbyist search. "Electronics repair course" returns a list heavy with "online", "near me" and "with certificate", which is a training search with a budget behind it. A page that speaks to both is fishing in two ponds with one line, and the earning mentions are what convert the first into the second.

The funnel, step by step

The room converts on a creator's existing repair audience and a first-device promise, and it retains on scheduled diagnosis sessions and feedback on the member's own work.

The retention driver is that the member's next fault is always new. A curriculum on soldering can be completed; a queue of other people's broken devices cannot, and neither can the specific board sitting on your own bench tonight.

The formula you can copy

Teach the diagnosis, not the fix. Any repair can be looked up on YouTube. What cannot be looked up is why this particular unit is dead, and a community built around fault finding is selling the one part the free tutorial cannot cover.

Stack the identities rather than choosing one. Hobby, side hustle and full time on a single line lets three different buyers see themselves without three different pages, and it lets a $19 price feel like a tool to one of them and a treat to another. Other hobby rooms we have covered take the same route, including Printable Stickers Club and Merch Makers, both of which sit at the hobby-to-income boundary.

Sell the room when the room is the scarce part. Four of six line items on this page are human effort, which is exactly why it can price above a content product. If you are weighing what to charge, we measured a $39 median and a $17 lower quartile across 768 priced Skool communities in Skool community cost, and there are more starting points in Skool community ideas.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Electronics Repair Skool community?

Electronics Repair is a paid Skool community created on 16 October 2025 by the YouTube creator Joey Does Tech. It teaches device repair through practical fault finding and lists a beginner curriculum, 12 courses, weekly calls, group diagnosis sessions, one-to-ones with repair experts and feedback on members' own repairs. It held 482 members at $19 a month on 7 September 2026.

How much does it cost to join?

The join button read $19 a month on 7 September 2026. That is below the $39 median we measured across 768 priced Skool communities but above the $9 tier common in large hobby rooms, which reflects an offer built mostly on live help rather than recorded content.

Can you learn electronics repair online?

You can learn the theory and the common procedures online for free, and Google autocomplete shows that is what most people try first: the top suggestions for "learn electronics repair" are "online free" and "youtube". What free material does not give you is someone looking at your specific dead board, which is what a paid room of this shape is selling.

Can you make money repairing electronics?

The community's about page lists tips on earning from repairs and a "Make Money from Repairs" section, and its founder runs an eBay shop alongside the YouTube channel. No income figures are published and we have not verified any. Treat it as a stated path rather than a promised outcome.

What if you do not know what to fix?

The about page names that reader explicitly as one of five target members, which is unusual for the category. Group diagnosis sessions and the community's own repair queue are the mechanism by which someone with no broken device of their own gets something to work on.

What can another hobby-community builder copy here?

Teach the part that cannot be looked up, name the reader who has not started yet and then supply their first project, stack hobby and income framing on one line so a single page serves two budgets, and price for the human help rather than the video library.
