This is how Claire got her first Skool members
Claire explains how she created her course, prepared Skool and got her first members into it by simply messaging a few people in her existing network. Messaging people in your existing network and asking them if "they would want to know more about your membership" is just on of a few techniques to get your first few members signed up. These are the other promotional techniques: - Already mentioned: Ask anyone in your existing network privately if they would want to know more about your membership that you just created, if they say yes, give them the link to your Skool About Page - Posting content on social media to build an E-mail list by giving away a lead magnet ... Simply post any type of content that sounds like: "Hey, I created this valuable VIDEO, who would want it? Comment VIDEO, I will send it to you" ... Then you send the Lead Magnet Video to people privately (it should sit on an E-mail Opt-in Page, people opt-in to get that Lead magnet), this builds your E-mail list, and on the Thank you page people can join your Waitlist - You can post content on social media and say: "Hey, I am about to open a membership community, comment WAITLIST to be one of the first ones to get more info when it's all ready" - People comment and we dm them the Waitlist Opt-in page (builds an E-mail waitlist) - You can send E-mails out to your existing E-mail list and ask: "Would you want to know more about the membership community that I am opening? Click the link, you will get on a waitlist" - You can send E-mails out and say: "Hey, I have this special Founding Members offer for you to join my membership as one of the first founding members, Click the link and Join!" - In these same E-mails you can say at the end of the E-mails: "If you have any questions about the membership before you join, simply reply to my E-mail and I will answer and help you out" - This gets people to reply, creates a chat conversation, and you close them via just E-mail chat, or you go on a call with them and maybe close them as a high ticket client as well
