The Nike credit is real. He is not the owner of the studio that posted it.
April 20, 2022. Jacob Pedersen on LinkedIn. Moonboy Studios job for Nike x Foot Locker. “Nike Tuned.” Space Between. Credits: 3D by Jack Phoenix and Joshua Hoole. The owners in the public record are Jacob Pedersen, Kevin Bar, and Bronson Moyle. Moonboy Pty Ltd is their filing. Josh is a named 3D artist on a credit list.
That is the receipt. Quote his 7-figure line after.
He is 25 in his own 2026 bio. Australia/Brisbane timezone. Ginger. Navy crew-neck. Slight smile. Giant white PAID wordmark, the A sitting in a yellow parallelogram. Same face as the avatar.
On June 18, 2026 UTC he opened a $9 Skool called PAID and told Discover it is the only community you need for mastering AI cinematic videos. Eight weeks later the card says 1k. JSON says 1,093. Rank 62. The about page says once they hit 1,100, new people pay $49.
The $46 room is older. Same kid. Different checkout. Do not mash them.
That’s the person. Here’s the pitch, in his mouth, before I start throwing receipts.
The only community you need for mastering AI cinematic videos. Only 10 spots left at $9 a month. Once we hit 1,100 members, new members pay $49 a month. Limited time: save 40% on the yearly plan. Guided step-by-step roadmap. How I create realistic AI cinematics. Unlimited free creative support and ideas. Curated frameworks that make AI look real. Create content businesses actually pay for. Personal 1-on-1 feedback. Beginner-friendly lessons. Breakdowns of my most viral videos (10M+ views). How to attract your dream clients. How to build your personal brand. Job opportunities. Build your network, meet people IRL. Weekly challenges with cash prizes. No more hyped-up YouTube tutorials. No more drowning in new AI tools. No more fake-looking AI that screams slop. Start today. Lock in $9 a month for life. That’s under $0.30 a day to stay ahead. Cancel anytime.
OG card: learn how to master AI cinematic images and videos, then get PAID for it.
That’s their about page, fetched August 15, 2026. Not a classroom I sat through. Not a client list I audited. Not a TOS.
I still render the wrong frame and then stare at it like it owes me rent. You think I’m landing a Foot Locker brief from a $9 feeder?
Read on for my Joshua Hoole / PAID review.
freeTrialEnabled absent. Cancel is not a refund. Not Josh Forti. Not hellopaid.com. Not Moonboy-the-company.Who even is Joshua Hoole?
One founder on the live Skool. Public name: Joshua Hoole on Skool and YouTube. Josh Hoole on the Premium about. Brand Joshhoole / joshhoole.com. Handle @joshhoole. Joined Skool June 20, 2024. Time zone Australia/Brisbane. Location field blank. LinkedIn search-index: Brisbane, Queensland. Do not write a street home.
Live bio, his words: a 25-year-old AI and 3D VFX artist that has ran a 7-figure production company for the past 5 years. Working with brands like Nike, Adidas, and more. Premium about: the assets and proposals I used to run a 7-figure Studio. Self-reported. No audited revenue. No named legal studio on the Skool. No ASIC / ABN / LLC printout for “PAID,” “Joshhoole,” or Joshua Hoole this pass. Moonboy Pty Ltd is not his filing.
Adidas sits on Kevin Bar’s Moonboy client list. Studio list. Not a Josh-named credit this pass. Do not write him as Moonboy CEO or current Adidas creative director.
Same human. joshhoole.com on the profile and the Shopify footer. IG @joshhoole, YouTube @joshuahoole, TikTok @josh____hoole. LinkedIn /in/joshua-hoole-2bb4b2196 is the URL Pedersen tagged. Both rooms share one owner id. Navy-sweater face matches the cover. IG login-walled. YouTube chrome empty. Site HTTP 402. Owner JSON: 1,329 followers, 2 created groups plus 1 hidden membership. Do not invent the third room.
Wrong Joshes. Not Corporal Joshua Hoole of The Rifles, died Brecon July 19, 2016. Not the 2018 Penrith City Council Liberal councillor. Not Josh Forti’s #GetPaid Universe. If a payroll app or a UK inquest sent you, close the tab.
The $9 room is not the $46 room
People see one ginger kid, one word, PAID, and assume every “get paid” login on the internet is this password. It is not.
PAID is the review target. skool.com/getpaid. Created June 18, 2026 UTC. Owner @joshhoole. Skool Pro. Join on Skool. No sales call. 2 admins. 371 posts this pass. 9 courses / 83 modules. Titles login-walled except the eight names on his classroom still. Calendar, classroom, map on. groupMembershipProducts empty.
PAID Premium is a different Skool. skool.com/paidpremium. Created November 30, 2025 UTC. Live August 15, 2026: 32 members, $46/month. About: work one-on-one with Josh Hoole. Free access to PAID. Daily 1:1 / custom vids. “$58/mo soon.” Card: paid opportunities. Guaranteed. 0 native reviews. Do not write $46 as a /getpaid tier. The cheap door is the second product.
joshhoole.com is Shopify packs plus a Film & VFX Academy CTA. Site 402 this pass. Search-index: $79 / struck $159 sold out, older textures bundle $95. Not the Skool. Higgsfield “seedance-director” is a skill listing, 543 users this pass. Also not the Skool.
Wrong kitchens. IDALL AI is Darren Maen’s $9 Lite. AI Video Bootcamp is Riley and Mateo, 26.6k / $9. Ai Filmmaking is Jamie Heinrich, $7, LA. AI Realism Academy is Trevor Greenfield. AI Cinematic Directors is William Brown, $44. Josh Forti’s #GetPaid Universe is 466 / Free and a different Josh. hellopaid.com and Paid App are payroll / gig-wallet. Chill Money, Mikey’s Money House, Ranked Revenue, Gig Money Club, and WFH Job Hunt are money-name neighbors. Ai Influencer Network is Zandela. None of those are this login.
Got it? Good. Don’t pay $9 thinking you just bought daily Josh. Don’t pay $46 thinking you just bought a /getpaid Premium toggle.
Nine dollars is on the porch. The clock already moved once.
Live join floor, August 15, 2026: $9/month. Discover card $9, 1k, rank 62. About: only 10 spots left at $9. Once we hit 1,100 members, new members pay $49 a month. Lock in $9 a month for life. Save 40% on the yearly plan. Under $0.30 a day. That’s $9 / 30. Billing JSON: 900 USD cents, monthly. Annual cents were not in the public group JSON. Confirm the annual toggle and the 1,100 clock on publish day.
www3 / older about still has 5 spots and a raise at 1,060. Live about moved the cap to 1,100 and the scarcity line to 10. Date the number you quote. If the cap is real: 1,100 minus 1,093 is 7. They printed 10. “Lock in $9 for life” is a grandfather claim, not a contract we have. Skoolmakers still says 692 / 4.3 and, in the cons, 165. Stale versus live 1,093.

Fetched August 15, 2026. skool.com/getpaid · /plans · /paidpremium. Confirm the annual control and the 1,100 clock on publish day. Do not invent a Standard / Premium / VIP table because the HTML contains those i18n words.
Cancel is printed. Trial is not. A graphic promises a refund anyway.
Live about: cancel anytime. No refund sentence. No “free trial” sentence. Plans: silent. About reprint. Group JSON: freeTrialEnabled not present.
Official landing still, same about page, owner-designed: TRY 7 DAYS RISK FREE. IF YOU DONT LIKE IT, WE WILL REFUND YOU. NO QUESTIONS ASKED.
That is a graphic. It is not a TOS URL. Cancel is not a refund. Skool Help: refunds are the creator’s policy. Do not invent a money-back window in the checkout because a still said TRY 7 DAYS. Premium “Guaranteed” is a results claim on the other SKU. Not a refund. Not the $9 join.
One empty star. A collage he picked.
No Kyle video this pass. Trustpilot, Reddit, BBB, lawsuit, FTC: none found for this SKU. Do not recycle Payfare threads or the 2016 soldier inquest as his file.
Native reviews: 1 at 5.0, fetched August 15, 2026. MD Fahimul Islam. 5 stars. Same day. Paying since July 24, 2026. Asia/Dhaka. Body: empty. n = 1 versus 1,093. Platform math, not a Trustpilot pile.
The Wins collage is owner-selected. Hanashi Productions, Jorg Kelpin, Michael Rice, Farzan Farhani, June Mg, Henry Apaw, Styve Djami. Styve: landed “first 3d client.” His post on Josh’s still. Not audited. Farzan talks daily calls. Those also live on Premium about. Do not write the collage as a review file. There is one native review.
Eight named buckets. A ninth behind the wall.
About has no course catalog. /plans reprints the about blurb. “Standard” / “Premium” / “VIP” strings are i18n. Do not invent a $149 Premium on /getpaid because the HTML contains those words.
Official classroom still, eight named buckets: Start Here. AI Images (IMAGE GEN). AI Videos (VIDEO GEN). Cinematic Editing. Sound Design. Branding and Making Money. Viral Tutorials and Prompts (BREAKDOWNS). Prompt Library. JSON says 9 courses / 83 modules. The ninth title is login-walled. I am not inventing it.
Official weekly still: live calls, walkthroughs, workshops, projects, cash challenges. One Loom, about 4 minutes 30. Classroom interior beyond those eight cards was not opened.
The $9 about also promises “Personal 1-on-1 feedback.” Premium sells daily 1:1, custom vids, work one-on-one with Josh, and includes PAID. Do not write the $9 card as the full Josh bench. That is the other fight, sitting next to the refund still.
Who this is for (and who should skip)
This is for you if:
- You already wanted to mess with AI cinematics and $9 is coffee money you can lose without calling your mom
- You can read a two-room menu and not confuse the $9 feeder with the $46 1:1 closet that launched first
- You understand “lock in for life” is a sentence, not a contract we have
- You wanted a cheap staffed Pro classroom with a real Nike 3D credit on the tin, not a hidden closer
Skip if:
- You thought $46 was a /getpaid tier, or that “personal 1-on-1” on the $9 about is daily Josh
- You need a published refund TOS. They printed cancel anytime. The 7-day hug is a graphic.
- You thought he owns Moonboy, or that Adidas is a named Josh credit we extracted
- You landed here because of a payroll app, Josh Forti, IDALL, Heinrich, Riley, Greenfield, or a UK soldier. Wrong kitchen.
Verdict?
Joshua Hoole is a real Brisbane-timezone 3D / VFX kid with a real 2022 Moonboy Nike credit, a real $46 1:1 room that opened first, and a real eight-week-old $9 Skool that already printed a $49 raise at 1,100 members. The 25, the 7-figure studio, the Adidas, the 10M+ views, and Premium “Guaranteed” are his. The Nike receipt is a contractor line, not a company. Live August 15, 2026: PAID 1,093 / $9. Premium 32 / $46. About says cancel anytime. A landing still says 7-day risk-free refund. Native reviews: one empty 5.0.
Not a scam per se. I didn’t find a courtroom, a Trustpilot pile, a Reddit wake, or a Kyle video. I found a low-ticket staffed Pro classroom, a raise clock that already moved once, a 1-on-1 sentence on the cheap door and a 1-on-1 checkout on the old door, and a refund graphic the about page does not repeat. Useful if $9 is a toy you already wanted and you can read a feeder. Price theater if you thought nine dollars bought Josh every day and a Nike brief on your résumé.
I’m good.
Q&A
Q: Is Joshua Hoole legit?
A: Real person. Real Skool since June 20, 2024. Real rooms at /getpaid and /paidpremium. Real 2022 Moonboy 3D credit on a Nike x Foot Locker job. The 25, the 7-figure studio, the Adidas, the 10M+ views: self-reported. Legit 3D kid with a contractor receipt. Spicy brochure on the studio. Those can both be true. Not Cpl Joshua Hoole. Not Josh Forti.
Q: Wait. The UK soldier? Payroll? Josh Forti?
A: Different humans, different products. Corporal Joshua Hoole of The Rifles died Brecon, July 19, 2016. hellopaid.com is US payroll. Paid App by Payfare is a gig wallet. Josh Forti’s #GetPaid Universe is 466 / Free this pass. If a W-2 or an inquest sent you, close the tab.
Q: Is PAID a scam?
A: No regulator hammer, lawsuit, BBB, Trustpilot, or Reddit pile for this SKU this pass. I found a $9 sticker, a $49-at-1,100 clock, a sister $46 room that launched first, cancel-anytime copy, a 7-day refund graphic that is not a TOS, one empty 5.0, and a Nike credit that is Moonboy 3D, not ownership. Thin receipts is not a fake company.
Q: How much does PAID cost?
A: Official August 15, 2026: $9/month. JSON 900 cents. Threatened raise: $49/month at 1,100 members. 40% yearly is their sentence. Annual cents were not in the public JSON. /plans reprints about. No second monthly tier on this slug. Live count: 1k / 1,093. Created 2026-06-18 UTC. The clock already moved from 5 spots / 1,060 to 10 / 1,100.
Q: What’s PAID Premium?
A: His other room. skool.com/paidpremium. Created November 30, 2025. Live 32 / $46 a month. Daily 1:1, free access to PAID, 13 GB of sounds, “$58/mo soon,” and “paid opportunities. Guaranteed.” 0 native reviews. Not the $9 join. Do not write $46 as a /getpaid Premium toggle.
Q: Refund? I saw a 7-day graphic.
A: No PAID (/getpaid) refund TOS found. About prints cancel anytime and does not print a trial. JSON has no freeTrialEnabled. The landing still says try 7 days risk free, we will refund you, no questions asked. Graphic. Not a TOS URL. Cancel is not a refund.
Q: What’s actually inside? Do I get Josh 1-on-1 at $9?
A: About promises a roadmap, his method, 10M+ breakdowns, jobs, cash prizes, and “Personal 1-on-1 feedback.” Classroom still, eight names: Start Here, AI Images, AI Videos, Cinematic Editing, Sound Design, Branding and Making Money, Viral Tutorials and Prompts, Prompt Library. JSON: 9 courses / 83 modules. Ninth title login-walled. Premium sells daily 1:1 and includes PAID. Do not write the $9 card as the full Josh bench.
Q: Nike? Adidas? 7-figure studio?
A: Nike: one named 3D credit on a 2022 Moonboy Nike x Foot Locker job, posted by Jacob Pedersen, next to Jack Phoenix. Adidas: on Kevin Bar’s Moonboy client list this pass, not a Josh-named credit we extracted. He is not the owner of Moonboy. 7-figure / 5 years is his bio. No audited revenue. Quote the credit. Do not write “studio of record.”
Q: What do the reviews say?
A: One native review at 5.0. Empty body. Same day as this pass. The collage is seven community posts he selected. Styve’s “first 3d client” is Styve’s post on Josh’s still. Skoolmakers 4.3 / 692 is stale and also says 165. No Kyle, Reddit, Trustpilot, or BBB. Absence is not a halo.
Q: IDALL? Bootcamp? Heinrich? Greenfield?
A: Neighbors. Not sisters. IDALL AI is Darren Maen. AI Video Bootcamp is Riley / Mateo. Ai Filmmaking is Jamie Heinrich. AI Realism Academy is Trevor Greenfield. William Brown’s AI Cinematic Directors is $44. Same hunger. Different checkout.
Q: Okay but I still wanna make money online without locking in $9 for life because a clock said $49 at 1,100.
A: Wild concept: build little local websites, rank them in Google, and rent the leads to real businesses. No “only community you need.” No cash-prize challenge. No 7-day refund graphic that is not a TOS.
It’s about as sexy as organizing the junk drawer… which is why filthy SEO goblins like me keep doing it.
