Skool Update: 500 Members and My First $1K Collected

Once again, I’ve been spurred into action by another new feature from Sam Ovens. Every time something launches, it gives me the push I need to stop tweaking and start executing.

If you would like to read my previous update its here in GWE and its also in Skoolers but I can post in the comments if anyone wants to read and cannot access !: https://www.skool.com/evelyn/200-members-243-new-subs-and-still-on-the-9-hobby-plan?p=9ef28b02

Progress has been a bit slower than I’d hoped, I still don’t have a working ads account 😅 but momentum is definitely building.

Here’s where things stand

Progress Stats to date:

1,111 new email subscribers added
523 total Skool members
Upgraded to Skool Pro for pixel tracking + auto DMs
Launched a freemium model + 1 paid beta tier
16 lifetime members joined since launch yesterday so far
$1,044 cash collected

A lot of my growth has come from digital bundles, referrals, and Skool Discovery ... solid proof that consistent networking still beats waiting for perfect systems.

When the new Skool tiers dropped, I decided to launch before I was “ready.”I created a beta tier with lifetime access, promoted it with just one Skool post and one email to my waitlist. The course is still a skeleton version right now, but I know exactly where it’s headed.

Why I Chose a Lifetime model: After reviewing my customer journey and doing the math, I realized my customer lifetime value would be better served by offering a one off cost instead of going straight to higher recurring tiers. That idea was later confirmed by

@Evelyn Weiss

during a GWE Q&A, which gave me the confidence to double down on that direction. Tiers don't have the one off cost so I will need to adjust billing somehow or switch to another option but its ok for now.

What I have learned: Don’t overcomplicate things. Right now, I’m focusing on one tier and making sure it converts consistently before I layer in anything else. Once it’s working, I’ll likely introduce a premium tier.

Having worked behind the scenes with Team Evelyn for many years and having tried multiple offers, I’ve seen how unpredictable conversions can be and how I can get burned out very easy, so just like with funnels, for my brain and ADHD: One offer. One system. One clear result.

What’s Next

Accepted into Lizzy’s Christmas Party Bundle (massive visibility opportunity!)
Joining the Skool Traffic Challenge
Reinvesting my first $1K into Facebook Ads
Getting help setting up a new Facebook + ad account maybe from
@Rafi Shaik
!

30,000 foot goal: I am just putting this out there, After checking the hobby category in the Skool games, The revenue totals are lower than some of the other categories and if I plan right and use my network for support and affiliates, I could place top five one quarter (ekk)

It’s not perfect, but it’s progress, and that’s what matters most !

Let me know if you have any questions !
