WARNING: This post may completely change how you approach online sales. If you’re a coach, guru, influencer, or teacher and you want to be making an extra $5,000 - $10,000 in fully automated, recurring monthly income... Keep reading because... In this post you're going to see how you can make monthly recurring income (MRR) with your own micro-niche online community using Skool. (Have A.D.H.D. & can't read? Just scroll down to the very bottom and you'll get my 8 Step Framework to follow to set up and grow your own 5-10k/month community, without needing a big following, and without needing a ton of content.) Let's begin: What's a micro-niche online community? Think of it like a subscription membership you can offer, either in addition to, or instead of, traditional 1:1 coaching & 1 time courses. (@Sam Ovens says to think of it like a 'country club'.) Typical deliverables may include: • Community Q&A forum • Weekly or monthly group Zoom call • Videos • Other helpful resources like ebooks, mp3's, etc. But here’s what’s cool: Micro-niche online communities can still sell extremely well even if you DON'T have a big following… I heard about this guy named Nick who sold 180 spots to his audience of 200 people... because he knew exactly what they wanted and made them a deal they couldn't refuse. And strangely enough, these micro-niche communities also work really well even if you don’t create a ton of content for them... Turns out, the #1 reason people say they unsubscribe is because there's “too much content” to go through. So now that you know WHAT a micro-niche online community is… Let me show you WHY they're by far the best thing to sell going forward... In fact, here's why they're better than high ticket, better than stand alone courses, and better than 1:1 coaching... Though first, just so you know what I'm talking about… here's some context: I wasn’t always an online community expert. Making tens of thousands every month from communities and helping others build & grow their communities was NEVER my intention.

And I sincerely hope it happens to you someday too. I went through some of my favorite testimonials we received in the last 24 days ... since launching on Skool. And I edited them together. - "I knew my purpose was to help people, i just didn't know how." - Tiffany - "I (used to) always had this fear of what people thought of me" - Sally - " It's one of those things that I look back on a think that was meant to be" Patrice - "They're the kindof people you want to hang out with in real life" - Ted - "Thanks for having the patience to teach me" - Benny - "Thank you for helping me unfuck my life" - Kat And I think i spent most of that editing time weeping through it. I've never been in a place that was more connecting than this. And without Skool it just wouldn't have been possible. Ive been doing it by myself for so long, that i forgot how wonderful it was to have a team. and to see the result of my impact so many lives. Its a tough skool game this month and I hope we stay in the top 10, but no matter what happens im just in gratitude and feeling mode today. Thanks for making this place what it is, you beans. Its really something special that we have here. And thanks for sharing your feelings with me @Ted Carr @Benny D @Patrice Moore @Sally How @Joren Desmedt @Lydia Newell @Kat Heart @Tiffany Bacon

I wrote this as a blog post that has images and tutorials on certain things (you can read that here https://entreresource.com/skool-tips/) but here is the summary so you don't have to jump over there if you don't want. #𝟭 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 (𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗘𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝟲) If you don't plan on having unlocks, you really aren't getting most of the benefits of Skool. Seriously, the unlocks are the heart of the program. The gamification is what drives engagement. More engagement leads to a better community. Engaged members see better results, which leads to word of mouth marketing for you which means, you guessed it, more sales and less churn! I mention level 6 specifically here because that is the level that requires above average, consistent engagement. However, it's also realistically obtainable. The best thing you can do is have unlocks at each level eventually. I'd start at level 6 though and make it something that is genuinely awesome and then do the others after. #𝟮 𝗨𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝘀\ Don't let the words "Classroom" or "course" fool you. Unlocks don't need to be courses. They just need to be delivered in the same style as a course. They will always appear in the classroom area, but they can be things like access to events (in-person or cyber) or downloadables (PDFs, eBooks, Worksheets, etc). For my unlocks, I have courses, bonus videos and useful spreadsheets. They include a training video and a link to open and copy the spreadsheet. This is what that looks like on the inside. Get creative here, you could also offer things like free software or discounts on other things you offer. That's big "win-win" as it could drive additional sales off Skool. If you want to deliver a digital download like an ebook or cheat sheet, you'll just need to host it somewhere. If you have a wordpress website, it's very easy. You can learn how to host your files and make them downloadable for free here.

Hey, My name is Josh Gavin. As per request, I'm here to share how I'm using a $27 offer to fill my Skool group with members who engage, collaborate and upsell into my $3k+ offers. To give you some history... I grew a Facebook group to 5200 members and collected $486,000 cash from it without running a single paid ad. But while I was doing this I noticed my homies over at Clients & Community had invented this new concept of running ads to a lead magnet which would then point to a free group. So after some time, this method became very popular which meant new problems appeared. But here I was... Growing just as fast as everyone else without running paid ads. So I decided to launch an LTO (low ticket offer) as a side mission to teach all these struggling group owners how to get new members without ads. I never planned on this becoming my main offer since I hated the thought of becoming another one of those 'coaches' who help 'coaches' with organic marketing lol But here I was with a method no one else was teaching... So I launched it! And just 30 days later I enrolled over 200 people at $27 + 40 people into a sass upsell. Using my V1 funnel here: https://www.organicgroupmethod.com/join Then I decided I wanted to take this more seriously and increase my AOV as I started learning more from the LTO God himself Alen Sultanic... So I added new upsells and launch V2 which you can find here: https://www.organicgroupmethod.com/offer Then in December, I launched V3 which you can find here: https://www.organicgroupmethod.com/launch But here’s where things get spicy… Although I believe Facebook is still better for a free group since you can get more attention to funnel people into sales conversation… I don’t like FB as a client portal for paid products…
