(BTS Update) Soft Launch blew my socks off 💣 🧦 🤯
It's been a little over a week now since I soft launched this new Skool community. I thought I'd share with you all what's happened since opening up the doors on 1 September. My plan was to open up to the first 100 members for free and then switch over to paid once we hit that (which I anticipated sometime this week or next). We hit 102 members before I could switch over, within 24hrs of opening the community! 😱 🎉 🥹 Here is the breakdown of stats so far... Members: 156 Paying Members: 23 👥 Balance of Members: 31 (personal invites due to paying members of other memberships - 64 invites still pending) 🎉 When we hit the 100 free members I gave out a gift of $50 Credit to 2 people who were the 100th members (because including me, there kinda was 2 people - the 100th and the 101st and I felt that was the most fair approach). I'd like to do more of these for future milestones. Monthly Payments: 10 x $1/monthly Annual Payments: 13 x $9/yearly Course Sales: $63 ($5 Donation + $9 Workshop) 💵 We hit cost-neutral for the $99/monthly Skool fee on Thursday (day 4) First 7 Days Conversion: 39.43% (151 sign ups/383 visitors) 📈 Discovery Ranking: Best result so far #761 on Wednesday (day 3) Active Members: 150 💬 34 have already created an intro post (with info about their collab preferences), there are 10 collaboration listings already shared and 7% of members are already at level 3. ➡️ Next steps: Hard Launch with a Challenge (Bootcamp probably) to promote the $1/mo community + my $27/mo membership at the end of the month. 1️⃣ But first, this all happened so quickly and predominately due to the creation of a FB chat group (aka a holding group kinda like a waitlist) for the (177) people who showed interest in migrating over from my existing free FB group. Because of this, I actually haven't even written any proper emails or posts to share about this new community. And I'd like to increase the ranking as it's now slipped down to #913 as of today - so I have to plan out some more posts in the community + record some 'how this works' videos.
