This is the introductions thread. Say hi, tell us what your business is all about! In your introduction, answer these 3 questions: ➡️ What is your name? (feel free to share pronouns if you’d like!) ➡️ What is your business or platform? Who do you serve, what do you sell, etc ➡️ If you were to host your dream party, and the sky was the limit, what would the theme be? We can’t wait to meet you!

My 2nd foray into marketing 17 years ago ended up with 100,000 email subscribers and about 10% converted to sales But I didn't do it by "targeting my avatar" or by "optimizing sales pages" I did it by finding specific needs, creating free content that taught as if they paid, then made paid offers that simply taught more . . about 5% would buy a low ticket offer within days on my list about 10% joined a $97/month coaching program within 21 days But it's all about helping people I see so many questions here about "how do I get more sales" "how do I get started" and so on and my advice, as a 18 year veteran in this business (my first foray only lasted a short time, then I started my 2nd, 17 years ago) is to simply figure out: 👉Who do you want to help? 👉What problem do you want to help with? Then create free content like crazy helping people. Then have an upsell Skool group that gives MORE help with community + coaching and a % of the people you are helping for free, will join you and pay And instead of focusing on conversion rate and sales strategies - focus on radically increasing the # of people who interact with your FREE content and make your FREE content so great that when the 5% of buyers who are in any searching market buy from YOU when they are ready NOT because you have the best marketing the best sales page the best NLP - infused sales copy but they buy from YOU because you gave them the best FREE training when they needed it People buy based on trust, not words on a sales page Hope this helps!! @Sean Mize

Launched my free group a little over 3 weeks ago while following Mariah’s launch 🚀 plan for FREE groups and customized my group with a lot of levels of gamification, as well as meaningful connections and conversations! 🏆 It worked! Meeting new people coming in from Skool groups as well as my other social media platforms for the first time has allowed me to really warm up my audience - and attracted people who wouldn’t otherwise connect with me. This gave new members an opportunity to experience my work firsthand as well as my teaching style - and also have a minute to look around and get acquainted. I believe a paywall at first might have deterred even some of my best clients to leave the comfort of the platforms they know such as Facebook + IG and try Skool. I know that a lot of my paying clients are now enjoying the platform. Plus, as a high ticket coach, I prefer intimacy and connection over sheer volume, so I can adequately welcome and connect with my community. Of course the plan is to launch a premium membership, but I do enjoy the energy and experience and community building that is going on now! Wanted to share that building engagement is more for the people involved to feel they have a connection to YOUR COMMUNITY and not just YOU, which is why they stay! I also included a photo of the discovery page, and a few weeks ago I was in the 7000’s now in the low 2’s! How do you feel about FREE vs. PAID groups and do you have one or both? I’d love to hear from other entrepreneurs who also run high ticket 🤩 as well! Cheers!

There are so many things you can do to engage your audience, this is just a short list: 1) Write a daily post about your progress 2) Ask your members for their advice 3) Offer to help one new member each day, in a post 4) Do a weekly live training call 5 Do a weekly 5 day challenge right inside your group (just print, in your posts, not live on video) 6) Feature a "top member" each day of the week 7) Ask members for their hottest questions, get the other members to vote, and then answer the questions . . and this is just the tip of the iceberg any other experts want to weigh in here and add to this list? @Jade Jemma @Evelyn Weiss @Mariah Coz @Marisa Pell
