I see this all the time when I audit communities. The thinking is: “If I make Free amazing, I’ll get lots of members and eventually convert all of them.” But you don’t need to convert everyone. If you have 500 members and 20% upgrade at $49/month, that’s 100 Premium members and $4,900 MRR. At $99/month? That same 100 members is $9,900 MRR. Free doesn’t need to contain everything you know. Free helps them get started. Premium helps them get the transformation. That distinction matters.

I discovered a prompt in a group on one of the other platforms...but IT REALLY NEEDED THAT SKOOL TOUCH.. LOL. This one was fun.. I have found my business home at SKOOL. #skoolingforlife I received a few requests for the prompt, but I have to give credit I got this one from Teresa Coleman of aidigital_impact I tweaked the original prompt to lead with Skool, my handle, and the platforms I use. Have fun I would love to see what you do with it. Create a premium 3D social media icon collection featuring the SAME elegant Black woman across every icon tile. STYLE: Ultra-realistic 3D render.

If I had to share with you what I’ve learned so far about growing my skool it’s this, talking about what and who your skool is and does, stay consistent, use your green squares to stay consistent every day, interact with your members, if you only have a few ask them what they would like in your community l, make them feel special even if it’s only a tag Or emoji reply.
