This past Friday, I finally pulled the plug on the $99/month plan for this community, and I’m glad I did. Why? Well let me tell you. First, this community is not my primary business and its growth is intentionally slow which makes it a perfect candidate for the $9/month plan. Second, I was also paying for Zapier to automate the collection of emails but that connection is not optimal (part of the pro plugins). How so? Well, Zapier was sending the new member’s email to my CRM before I could say yes or no. No bueno. I only want approved people’s data in my CRM. (Needless to say Zapier is also out!) Finally, I felt by using the Pro version, I was losing touch with those who don’t use it. And that’s also no bueno. I need to see what my members experience so that I can better serve them. >>> and another housekeeping thing I did… I added 2 member questions as part of the onboarding process. Now when someone wants to join the group or wishes to interact with the group, they need to answer those questions. See attached. Why did I do this? This is another way for me to see how I can help and if the member is aligned with the focus of this group. It’s all about alignment friends! ✅ Now, what are you doing this week to align your group with your goals?

This is a screenshot from my latest email newsletter…: notice the links to Add to your calendar now? Those go to a special event page on Addcal.co — that allows the user to add the event into their calendar and then get alerts! I’ll do anything to get enabled participation and remove friction in the user experience. Addcal is FREE to use. Yep. ✅ What do you do to help your audience remember your events?
