I launched a paid Skool community and got a subscriber the next day 😮
I started the Skool Monetisation Lab on a 14-day free trial. Set it up on a Thursday. By Friday, someone had subscribed at $5 a month. 🤯 Here is the thing. There was nothing there. A welcome post. An empty classroom. That was it. Now, I had a lot of content online, so this person already knew who I was. I am not pretending I built this out of nowhere. But even knowing that, I was genuinely shocked. I expected people to wait until there was something to see. They didn't wait. And it reminded me that your audience is often further along in trusting you than you think. The lesson I took from it is simple. Don't wait until everything is ready. Everything is never ready. The person who subscribed to an empty community did not need a full course or a polished classroom. They just needed to back someone they already believed in. Start before you are ready. The community is the product, not the content inside it. Has anyone else launched something before it felt ready and been surprised by what happened? Des
