Quick question: my Skool is growing (🎉 yay) but I’m also starting to get membership requests that are a bit strange. I have a freemium model. We have 15 members and 3-4 that engage consistently. The last two requests were definitely some kind of bot and maybe a man. I ask three questions in the sign up. One requires a tiny bit of reflection.
I’m not judging just trying to ensure my first welcome message hits the right spot. The other two questions ensure that what we do will resonate with them. Both times the answer was “yes” but in looking at the name, profile image or lack of, and other communities, it seemed best to decline.
My worry is how do I maintain a safe space for these mature professional women who are just beginning their journey within the community. If a man or a bot gets inside… then what 😮.
I’m actually planning to launch another community that will include men down the road, but it’s not a priority now.
Would love to hear others perspective… Am I being too careful?
