In my last post titled The Path to $10,000/month with a Skool community I described what a micro niche MRR community is, and the benefits of having one. In this post you’ll see an Automated Skool Community Growth strategy you can use for getting paying community members. Here’s how it works: Step 1: Automate genuinely helpful video content to go out on YT, FB, IG, etc. using a scheduling software. In your video content, have a CTA that sends people to an opt-in LP to get your free course (or whatever other freebie you want to give away)... just make sure the freebie is highly congruent with the content itself. Step 2: When they opt in for your free course, the thank you page tells them to join your free Skool community to access the course. Step 3: When they join your free Skool community, they get an auto-DM from you (or an admin on your team) with a link to the first video of the course. Step 4: The first video of the course should act sort of like a VSL in that it gets them to see the potential of your process and gets them to feel very excited. Step 5: The VSL’s CTA tells them to apply to work with you/your team for free in exchange for a testimonial. Step 6: They sign up for free on a 7 day trial. And voila. Now you have a new paid Skool community member, and it’s your job to get them results and keep them happy. So now the question isn’t how to get new members... The question is: How do you KEEP members? For that, you need to use a few Retention Tactics. If you want to see the BEST Retention Tactics I’ve ever used to prevent churn, comment below with the word RETENTION & give this post a thumbs up and I’ll write another post going into detail on 10 different retention tactics I use to keep members paying month over month to grow my MRR.
We're working on subscription billing, and we need a few creators for the private beta. Interested? Give me a money GIF in the comments below if you want subscription billing.
Last month the engagement in our FREE community was dropping off a cliff ... despite sending welcome messages, tagging new members, giving away prizes and releasing new mini courses at the start of the month. Initially our plan was to load up all of our best free resources and trainings into the classroom tab but it was getting disorganized and although members said there was so much value... they really weren't engaging with it. So I decided to simplify. I unpublished all of the content and turned it into a 14 day challenge. - Releasing 1 new challenge each day. - inviting members to post their work underneath the video... ... which then shows up in the community and people are connecting and commenting on each others posts in an entirely new way. Our new "challenge" welcome post got more engagement in 1 week than our previous welcome post did after 6 months. Making the transition from facebook groups as a funnel to a community funnel using skool has been a challenge but it's starting to pay off and the community is loving it. Anyways thought I'd share a win and something that has been working in our community that might help you in yours :)
I've recently migrated my FB group to skool, but given how its a platform that many people don't use atm compared to FB or IG, I'm having trouble getting users to check their DMs more frequently (this is how I get calls booked - via conversations). Outside of hounding their emails with reminders, do you guys have any ideas of how you can make people who join your group come back more often? Thanks! @Sid Sahasrabuddhe
@Sid Sahasrabuddhe current methods Im using: - tagging members in posts - sending weekly broadcasts for value posts - sending initial DMs + follow ups - sending 2-3 emails to make them check their DMs
