#MetricsMonday Feb 2 - 53% of requests declined!
It's that time of the week when I share the numbers with you. The only reason I do this is because some of the members early on asked for it, and since the group is about visibility, I thought it made sense! # Members Total: 1286 (+45) #Premium Members: 207 (+4) Percentage of members who are premium: 16.1% (-0.3%) Conversion Rate: 22.8% (-3.5%) Ranking in Money: #24 (-3) Ranking Overall: #87 (-8) Highest Activity Day: 1570 (-1704) Lowest Activity Day: 469 (-380) The Context: Last week was a week in between challenges, and as expected, it was quieter. This is totally okay. A community goes through ebbs and flows, and it's no need to panic. It's kind of like how some weight-loss coaches will tell you not to weigh yourself every day because the scale is going to go up and down. What you want to do is track trends over time...😊 An interesting this I did this week was track how many membership requests I was declining. I did this for a period of four days and found that, on average, I am only accepting 47% of the membership requests. More surprising, only a small percentage of these are flagged as spammers. There are a lot of people who do not have active Skool communities who are requesting to join the community, so every time I get a little down about growing more slowly than similar communities, I have to remind myself that we could be growing a lot faster, but I have consciously chosen to keep the group focused, and I think the payoff in terms of quality is more than worth it. I hope you think so too! 😉 This week, we are focusing on the Classroom Ads Challenge, and I really hope to see you participate. My (secret) goal is to have at least 100 of you represented there, but I would be ecstatic if it were even more!!!
