Hello lovely skoolers, My engagement has been down the last week. I think it's because of the time of year. I am always looking for ways to increase connection and group activity. But never at the cost of my community quality and experience. So engagement posts need to be genuine. And they need to make sense. And they need to increase connection. Yesterday I shared 2 that worked wonderfully and met these criteria. #1.) Ask your members to post 🎁 into ChatGPT - great conversation starter, quick win. #2.) And this one I like a lot more: Ask them to give back to each other with things that are free Think of…. - sending a kind message to someone - checking in on another member who's been silent - shouting out someone who helped them I attached both my examples here for you. Give them a try and let me know how it goes ❤️ PS: If you already tried the ChatGPT easter egg... let me know if you were naughty or nice and what you got for Christmas. I was naughty and got fruit bread 😭

Almost a year ago, I was the first person on Skool to have the Flame badge next to their name for a whole year. On January 9th, I'll have completed a two-year streak of daily activity. But here's the crucial point: It's not important.😂 It was never that important to me. It just happened that way. Taking a day off is perfectly fine. Not even Sam Ovens has the Flame badge. What's important is learning to love Skool. Personally, I prefer being a member to being a founder (which I also love). Therefore, I not only want to share that I'm proud of this streak, but also emphasize that it's more about being a passionate user; then it will come naturally. And if you ever lose the Flame badge, there's surely a GREAT reason for it :-) Stay tuned, you're in a great community here. Have fun and be active. Let's rock! Shoutout to @Evelyn Weiss Thanks for this amazing community and for all your support. lg Calvin 🫡

I rolled out tiers exactly one month ago and wanted to share what happened for me. I also hoped to hear from other Skoolers who've tried tiers. I rolled tiers out on the 3rd of November. What I changed: - Old setup: $99/month, $595/year - New setup: $33/month (community + challenge + 2 courses), $99/month for all other courses, resources plus calls. $595/year for everything in $99/month + lifetime access to 3 premium courses Impact on analytics: Members - October: 246 new, 150 churn, 2,136 total - November: 707 new, 453 churn, 2,390 total MRR - October: $5,550 new, $5,651 churn, $51,789 total - November: $11,767 new, $4,700 churn, $396 downgrades, $59,906 total  - Note, downgrades were way less than I thought would be when rolling out the lower tier Unit economics - October: $31 ARPU, $374 LTV - November: $32 ARPU, $418 LTV Traffic + Conversions: - October: 6,331 visitors, 3.9% conversion rate, 32.9% trial conversion rate - November: 13,719 visitors, 5.2% conversion rate, 38.6% trial conversion rate MRR retention - October: 91% retention - November: 94% retention  So although I don't think everyone should opt for tiers, for me they've been a huge win. I think it's worth testing for communities that have cornered themselves with price increases. I think that was the case for me, plus I also used tiers to implement one of Alex's attraction offers from the money models book so there was strategy and a new offer behind it as well. I started the new offer before I introduced tiers and asked all members who didn't stay after the free trial why they cancelled. They all said they loved it, but $99/month was too high for them right now. So it was really an educated guess. Would love to hear how tiers have been going for you so far. Have you tried them? Has anyone reverted back yet?

Hi amazing Skoolers, In this video, I share my 30-day traffic challenge results with you. It's incredible what can happen when you stay consistent for one month. I am not the only one, btw... we have 5 lessons full of people sharing their wins. Check it out and let me know if you want an update specifically about how tiers impacted these results.

Happy weekend! What are you up to? Working on your skool or are you taking some time off? Before I log off to spend some time celebrating my dad’s and my son’s birthdays, I wanted to share this video with you. It’s about the conversation between Sam and Alex at the last Skool Games winners event. This conversation was so valuable. I took four pages of notes, and in this video I share the top of mind takeaways from the discussion. There are some very interesting insights, especially now that Alex has his own Skool. Check it out and let me know what you think 🤗
