Quick question for those whoβve grown freemium communities into paid memberships
I started my community less than a month ago. Itβs still small, but Iβve been putting a lot of work into the content and I genuinely feel Iβm on the right track. My model is freemium: free entry, forum access, and a few free modules that already help solve real pain points (maybe not the most critical ones, but still very valuable). For those of you who already converted free members into paid ones: How did you handle that transition? Do you actively communicate your paid plans (posts, DMs, emails)? Or do you let the value and the natural journey lead people there? Iβm not looking for aggressive tactics, just real experiences. What worked for you and what didnβt? Thanks in advance π
