👉 I am considering changing my free group to a $9/month group here's why: My premise for having a free group is building new relationships and having them in one place. I've used email for years for this, but connection has gotten harder. I've built an fb group in the past (only 990 members) and the thing I didn't like was the low engagement., I THRIVE on engagement. So with the free skool group, the engagement is fun. But it still remains that I prefer to teach and only talk with people online when there is a serious way I can help them. With the free group, I am finding myself compelled to comment on everything . . , and most of it is not me giving helpful advice. I MUCH prefer the help I've been giving in these comments and posts. 👉The biggest reason I haven't gone to paid for the free group in the past is two-fold: 1) I viewed it as a way to build audience. But now I am seeing that the audience (YOU) right here in the Skool group is just as much of an audience as "my own free group" 2)I wanted my clients to have a ready-made group THEY could use as practice. (and yes, I'm going to ask them this same question on my live weekly coaching call in the next hour) 👉But if I were to remove those 2 criteria, I am left with the stark truth that: a) I don't like fluffy social media. I want to pick and choose and ONLY comment when the question is interesting or I can add genuine value, which I find I am doing BETTER in 10 groups like this than my own free group b) The cheap paywall keeps out the spammers (I have 12 trying to get in right now), and the low-interaction people who just joined to "see" what I am doing - but never post and drive engagement down the money doesn't matter to me . . . I make good money at $97/month and $1000 - $10 clients the $9/month would be a moat to keep those above types of people out and then: 👉The RESULT: because I am no longer spending my time sorting spammers and people who never post, etc I can spend my time giving GENUINE VALUE in my group

In this post I will be sharing what I learnt while helping 6 content creators from a variety of niches launch their Skool communities. Ones ranked #360 currently. So here is what i've learnt from creating these communities for these content creators and how you can use it for your own communities. 🏘️ 2 Communities - Paid & Free Money is always in the outreach. A client of mine has a betting group and I helped them launch two groups; one free and one paid. The free one has 1/2 picks a week whereas the paid one has 1/2 a day. We found that launching a free taster of what it is like to be in the community increased conversions heavily and more and more people where signing up. ⭐️ Outreach DM is King If you have a small audience and want to launch a community make sure to personally DM each and every follower of yours. I found that the clients that DM'd their followers had a quicker boost in their initial members compared to ones that just relied on posting content about their community. Make sure to contact your followers personally and let them know about this opportunity. ❗️ OFFER OFFER OFFER I mean if you didnt hear about Offers from Alex Hormozi then you must be living under a rock. I went through the offers with a lot of my clients and we tweaked it and refined it till we found that: 1. it was realistic 2. was enticing 3. over delivering and under promising I hope i havent mentioned things that were already said, just sharing my experience. Have fun guys an enjoy the journey

Retention - How to make clients stay longer on your Skool (Paid or free) 1. Weekly calls (3 times per week) 2. 1 value post/day (step-by-step guides work best) 3. New courses often (every 2 months) 4. 1 guest call/month (e.g., 7-figure expert explains..) 5. Lock some courses for certain member levels to keep them longer and engaged 6. Giveaways 7. Name your Zoom calls with the subject (e.g., How to maximize productivity - mini training before Q&A) 8. Grandfathering price - if a member joins when the price is $62/month and then the price goes to $125/month, they will think twice to leave because they will have to rejoin at the new price 9. After 1 month unlock this, after 2 months unlock this, after 3 this etc. (THIS FEATURE IS COMING SOON) 10. Onboarding calls (If you have too many members, do group onboarding calls) 11. Get the member a quick win in a month or even faster! 12. DM people that cancel with a funny gif, for example, and start a conversation with them to learn why and FIX IT. The more of those you implement into your groups, the faster the growth and retention will be! Hormozi's strategy with GymLaunch was - 5 Horsemen of retention: 1. Exit interviews (when someone tries to cancel, you or your team interview them to learn why - 50% of the people will go back into the program just because of that) 2. ReachOuts (You or your customer success reach out every 2-3 weeks showing that you care for them and their success) 3. Attendance (Someone that will cancel has a pattern - shows 3 times/week, then 2 times/week, then 1 and then cancel. So have a system in place when someone goes at the certain 'trigger' level ramp up the reach out) 4. Handwritten cards (Every month or so, send a handwritten card or something personal to them) 5. Member events (They can also bring friends for free so your clients eventually do lead generation for you. Do them every 6 weeks and on every event, announce the next one)
