Honestly, I'm buzzing. I didn't come in chasing a badge. I came to learn, to connect, and to be part of a community of women who cheer each other on. The levels just crept up on me, one comment, one welcome, one conversation at a time. It turns out those small moments really do add up, so never underestimate a kind word. Thank you to every one of you who's replied, encouraged or chatted with me along the way. You made the climb fun. 💛 And yes, I've won a Premium Membership, so I'll be popping into the Q&A calls very soon! So tell me, what level are you on, and what's been your favourite part of the climb so far? Let's cheer each other on. Onwards and upwards, Firekeepers! 🚀🔥

I’ve been on Skool for about 28 months. And I definitely didn’t figure it all out on day one. For roughly the first 18 months, I was selling low-ticket memberships and generating around $400/month in recurring revenue on Skool. I was still making money in my business through coaching, consulting and fractional COO work. But Skool itself? $400 MRR. Then I decided to simplify everything. I shifted to a Freemium Skool model. Free became the front door. Premium became my recurring revenue offer. I started using summits and collaborations to drive traffic. And instead of constantly creating more stuff, I focused on three things: Traffic. Conversion. Retention. That changed everything. My communities have now grown to 13,000+ members. I’ve built $10K–$15K months. I’ve grown my Skool affiliate income from about $2,500 in 2025 to nearly $7,000 so far in 2026. But some of my favourite proof isn't mine. It’s watching the women inside my communities take what they’re learning and run with it. One member grew her new Skool to 150+ members. Another ran her first bundle and showcase with 141 live attendees and a 93% show rate, then went on to build her first full summit. Others have rebuilt their communities, simplified their offers, grown their audiences and finally created a business model that feels manageable. Some of these women have stayed and worked with me for 6, 9, 10, even 15 months. That matters to me. Because I don’t think the goal is just to build a big community. The goal is to build one that creates results for you AND your members. It took me 18 months to really understand that. Once I did? The rest is history. 🧡

Thanks to the advice I have received here i finally did it! I now have free, basic and VIP tiers. Given I'm in the Aussie Homesteading niche I have called them Front Paddock, Top Paddock and Home Paddock. They are free, $19 month ($190 annual) and $99 month ($950 annual). I only have 50 members but given all the advice here I wanted to make it clear to my members that it was always going to have a paid element to the community. I have no problem asking for money for my expertise, I know I am good at what I do and have experience that others don't have. I'm still nervous as hell putting it out there. Wish me luck everyone. Thank you @Brenda Rigney for all the free stuff, I can't wait to see what you have in VIP
