Hi Guys and Gals,
I’m currently running a free community, but I’m seeing the usual pattern: decent joins but light engagement. I believe people like it… but I don't believe they value it.
I’m debating two next steps:
Option 1: 7-day free trial → paid community
Option 2: Freemium model (free + paid tiers)
My main goal isn’t growth at all costs. It’s better engagement, more participation, and members actually doing the work.
For those of you who’ve tested either (or both), what are your thoughts please?
If you were rebuilding today which would you choose and why? 👀👇
Thank you very much for your time.
