11 days ago, I had zero members on Skool. Today, we're approaching Top 100 in the Money category. I didn't have a massive following. I am yet to share on any of my socials, and I haven't had a team promoting for me. Here's what I've done: — Posted ~3-5 times per day on avg. — Lead with value and be personable — Welcomed every single new member — Rewarded the early members publicly — Announced something exciting almost daily The result? 450+ members. 7,000+ engagements. And momentum I can feel. The biggest lesson? People don't just want content. They want to feel like they're part of something being built. Start messy. Build in public, and the audience will come. A question I have for the group though -- at what point did you make your community paid? I'm trying to figure out the right timing. Do I flip the switch at 1,000 members? 2,000? Or is it less about the number and more about something else? For those of you who've done this before; what worked? What would you do differently? Drop your thoughts below. I'd love to learn from the group. 👇

If you are already on the Premium tier and want to know how to make the most of it, or are thinking about upgrading, here is everything you need to know... ⭐️ 🗞️ In the Standard tier, you can post in the community once a day in any category (except for days with a hashtag prompt, then you get an extra post!). There are two kinds of acceptable community posts: "anything" promoting your Skool group, or offers that are free (freebies, free workshops, podcast promotions, your own YouTube channel promotions). You can see the list of categories in the How It Works pinned post. These "rules" are for both standard and premium members. 🌟 🗞️ Now for the additional benefits for Premium members: 1. Premium members are allowed to put an "ad" in the classroom to advertise anything they want - free or paid. The ad stays up for as long as they are a premium member. Ads rotate weekly. 📰 You can place your ad by creating a draft course in your own community and then copying the course key and sending it to me to copy into the Classifieds. Course keys can be found by going to the thumbnail of the course in your classroom and clicking on the three dots in the top right corner. 2. Premium members also have access to all live events on the calendar. This includes meetups twice a month (called the PERSONALS) and open drop-ins once a month. 📆 The meetups are structured and focus on improving your visibility as well as helping you make connections and foster collaboration. 3. Premium members also have the opportunity to host their own free masterclass for all members on the CLASSIFIEDS calendar. This gives you the chance to provide value to the members and then pitch your group or product at the end. 💵 In order to qualify to host a masterclass, you have to first take my How to Teach a High-Value, High-Converting Masterclass workshop ($27). The next one is being offered on January 6th with doors opening for registration January 2nd. After taking the prerequisite workshop, the first masterclass you offer is of no charge. Subsequent masterclasses that you would like to offer will be subject to a $10 administrative fee.

EDIT: Price goes up at midnight EDT TODAY. It has just been brought to my attention that the pricing of tiers in Skool is a bit different than it was for a regular paid group. What does this mean for you: 1. If you are already one of the 74 Premium members on an annual plan, you are locked in at $22/year and you are all good. Nothing to worry about. Thank you so much, and I look forward to working together this year! 🙏 2. If you are one of the 70 Premium members on a monthly plan, you are locked in at $2/month and that will not change. HOWEVER, if you decide to upgrade to annual after Monday, Dec 1, you will no longer have the opportunity to upgrade at $22/year and you will have to upgrade at the NEW increased annual price. Bottom line: if you are thinking about upgrading to annual, now is the time to do it. You can change to an annual subscription by going to your settings and then going to the settings for this group to manage your subscription. 😊 3. If you are a Standard member, you have a couple of decisions to make: - You can stay standard for as long as you like and continue to reap the benefits of promoting and collaborating in this amazing community of supportive Skoolers, - You can upgrade to Premium before the end of the day Monday, Dec 1 for $2/month or $22/year. - Or, you can upgrade to Premium after Dec 1 and pay the new rate. Why would you want to upgrade? Great question! 😉 Benefits for upgrading are: - Attend any of the live meet and greet sessions (PERSONALS and drop-in socials). The PERSONALS currently average 20 people in attendance per session. - Advertise your offer (free or paid) in the classroom (ads rotate weekly so everyone has a chance to be on the Front Page) - Be eligible to offer a masterclass on the CLASSIFIEDS calendar. In order to fully qualify, you must take the “How to Teach a High-Value, High-Converting Masterclass” workshop for $27. Your first masterclass is no charge and then future masterclasses are subject to
