Steal this

  • 2 paid tiers: one price for access, another for proximity. Worth copying once you know which members want more of you.
  • The price is only shown after you click through. Hiding it is a choice: it filters for people already sold on the owner.

The one-liner

A beginner-friendly academy teaching creators to make vertical video and tell better stories.

What they actually sell

9:16 Academy, run by Afoali Ngwakum, lives on Skool. Its public pitch: "9:16 Academy empowers creators with tools & skills to make impactful videos, master storytelling, & build standout content, all beginner-friendly." A free tier sits at the front door, with Premium and VIP upgrades whose prices are not shown on the public page. The page lists weekly live workshops, Hands-on projects you can follow step by step, access to a global community of creators, and Guidance on how to create content that drives trust, & income. Inside sit 35 courses and a dense module library. A formal money-back promise is not spelled out on the about page. The public page keeps the promise practical and specific rather than vague networking talk.

Who pays and why

Creators posting into silence and wondering what actually grows. The loneliness is shipping without feedback. They join for feedback and craft systems for creators who want traction.

Where the members come from

Afoali Ngwakum's Instagram and website presence appears to feed the room. The Skool community reads as the member back end for people already drawn to that work. Exact follower counts stay off the public page.

What's holding it back

If feedback is rare, creators will lurk and cancel.

Steal this

Make creator community about feedback on shipped work, not growth-hack dumps.

Would this work in another niche?

Yes for other creator craft rooms with feedback. Weak for growth-hack dump groups.
