Free or $1/mo for spam discouragement?
After a couple of weeks of going back and forth with this question while prepping my new public Rock Singing Success Community, I think it's time I ask for help. I understand the appeal of free, but without spam protection in place in Skool, I'm also highly considering charging $1/mo to discourage spammers from signing up. I know it will likely still happen anyway, especially given that I'm dealing with musicians whom the majority of don't seem to know how NOT to spam people. But $1/mo will at least stave off bots and hopefully a good percentage of people who only use Skool free communities in order to promote themselves. I'm also concerned that $1/mo can discourage many normal people from joining, even if the perceived value goes up a bit because of it. What are your thoughts? The good news is that all I have left to do is some podcast edits, all the images (my team is doing), and connecting Thrivecart to a few of the courses, and then it's ready to launch! My long-time coming, already mostly-developed high-ticket program is next on my agenda! That's after years of testing and developing various proposals of the same thing for someone else that kept pivoting directions at the last minute. I'm super excited!
