I run a couple of Skool communities… a paid one ($7/month or $59/year) called Midlife Nervous System Rewire and a free one pop up one I’m using right now to host a live Midlife Recalibration Week (March 23-27,30). I feel like I’m in that in-between stage where the content is good and people do engage (albeit often the same people!) but growth isn’t as fast as I’d like 🤷🏼‍♀️ but I’m in it for the long game… Here’s where I’m actually stuck… People join. And they stay. I have a challenge that gets people started, and engagement is decent. But it’s often the same type of people who really lean in… those who’ve already done deeper work with me (higher ticket) or who really value the work and have been with me a while. And then there’s the other side…people who seem to want a lot for free or very low cost, where even $7/month feels like a stretch. I feel the tension in that. Because I do want this work to be accessible. I want to offer low ticket so people get a sampling and have some support. But I also see that the people who invest more tend to engage more and transform more. My high ticket people literally rave and say it’s the best investment they’ve ever made, absolutely life changing etc. (And it’s not that some low ticket people are not very committed, I do realize there are many other factors that impact people’s level of involvement including capacity, nervous system response, neurodiversity, personal circumstances… so it’s not just the investment, but I’ve seen it enough that it’s hard to ignore!)! So I’m trying to find that middle ground, how to provide accessible support, while also ensuring people are invested enough in themselves? Would love to hear your thoughts!

@Brenda Rigney this is so good - accessible work - is your IG - maybe I need to start using it. 🤦‍♀️

Help each other find your next 3 members

One of the best ways to grow is to support each other on Skool. So let's do that 👇 Drop a comment with: 1. Your Skool community name + link 2. Who it's for (in one sentence) 3. What members get when they join Then scroll through and join 3 communities that genuinely interest you. Not to game the algorithm. Not for a follow back. Because you're actually curious and want to connect with people building cool things. Let's help each other get those wins 🙌

Ask a Question (Level 2+)

💫 For those who have grown your communities from 0 → 1,000+… 💫

What did it take in the beginning to stay encouraged and keep going? I see a lot of newer community owners here (myself included), and I’m curious— What actually helped you: - stay consistent when there were only a few members - keep showing up when engagement was low - continue building when it felt slow or uncertain And for those who’ve made that jump… What shifted for you as you moved from 50 → 1,000? Was it - strategy - consistency - energy - something else? Would love to hear what made the difference and what worked for you. Thanks. 🪷 Ann-Marie 🪷

Great question @Ann-Marie Burtell What actually helped me stay consistent, keep showing up, and continue building? No matter what I built in the past or am building now, there is no difference in how I show up, no matter how small or large my community is. I bring the same energy, the same level of care, the same commitment. The only thing that changes is that larger communities require more of my time and effort to engage with members because they are pretty active. Especially my free community: we're currently #14 in Discovery, and I'm intending to win Skool Games with it when I start monetizing it with MRR. Right now it's monetized through summits and one-time payments. How I grow my communities: I grow my communities, sell offers, and launch with live launches and summits: both participating in them and organizing my own. I have a lot on my plate (hello, multipassionate), and I'm a big fan of FB Ads. My approach: I bring an audience to a free live event first, then convert a percentage to paid offers during the live launch. I've done this very successfully on the book of faces, and when I moved to Skool in September, I first tested it with a very specific live launch. It worked even better on Skool. You can find my detailed post on how I do hybrid live launches in Skoolers. If you want me to find the link to that, let me know, or you can search by my name. I also have an almost 2-hour video ( I know that's long) with step-by-step on how I run live launches my way. I also plan launches strategically around summits I participate in and make sure my summit talk aligns with my offer. My communities: I have two large communities that I grew to over 1500 members. One to 1,500+ members. That one is now a paid-tiers community. Second to almost 2,800 members now, and it will be close to 5,000 by the end of my next summit in May. I also have one small community with only 8 amazing people in it, and I am equally invested in all of my communities. Just not all at the same time.

I'm stirring the pot on Skoolers

What do you think of a 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿 so you can see all the events in every community you are a member in one place? - now you can use 𝗕𝗢𝗟𝗗 font in your posts and comments - see all your membership calendars with events - voice text in the chat!! - get the Skool cat anytime - see unread messages in the community thread - and a bunch more things... We shouldn't think of this as competition. We all want more members in our calls. Therefore, I recommend you also recommend this extension to your members. The extension also offers some additional features (bookmarks, focus mode, stats, etc.). Check it out here skool-extensions.com Will you use it?
