Hello, wonderful people! I just joined this community a couple of days ago, and I thought I'd make a quick introduction. My name is Vatsal. I am joining from Atlantic Canada. I have a community here on public speaking, and I'm hoping to grow that more in 2026. Hoping to learn more from Evelyn and from the rest of you amazing people here. Happy new year !

Alright, let's do something uncomfortable real quick. I want you to describe your community in ONE sentence. (And without saying the name of your community) But here's the catch. You can't use these words: - help - support - teach - connect - share I know. That just took away like 90% of our toolkit, right? Here's why this matters. Most of community builders have been describing what happens INSIDE their community. The activity. The stuff they host. But that's not what makes our communities valuable. What makes it valuable is what CHANGES because people show up. Not what they consume. What they BECOME. So when you strip away all the "helper" words, what are you actually left with? That's the real thing. That's what you're building. So let's see what you're really building. Drop your one sentence below. No forbidden words. Just the truth. And if you can't figure it out yet? That's okay. Post "I don't know yet" and maybe the community here can help. Drop it here 👇

Hi amazing Skoolers, In this video, I share my 30-day traffic challenge results with you. It's incredible what can happen when you stay consistent for one month. I am not the only one, btw... we have 5 lessons full of people sharing their wins. Check it out and let me know if you want an update specifically about how tiers impacted these results.

I rolled out tiers exactly one month ago and wanted to share what happened for me. I also hoped to hear from other Skoolers who've tried tiers. I rolled tiers out on the 3rd of November. What I changed: - Old setup: $99/month, $595/year - New setup: $33/month (community + challenge + 2 courses), $99/month for all other courses, resources plus calls. $595/year for everything in $99/month + lifetime access to 3 premium courses Impact on analytics: Members - October: 246 new, 150 churn, 2,136 total - November: 707 new, 453 churn, 2,390 total MRR - October: $5,550 new, $5,651 churn, $51,789 total - November: $11,767 new, $4,700 churn, $396 downgrades, $59,906 total  - Note, downgrades were way less than I thought would be when rolling out the lower tier Unit economics - October: $31 ARPU, $374 LTV - November: $32 ARPU, $418 LTV Traffic + Conversions: - October: 6,331 visitors, 3.9% conversion rate, 32.9% trial conversion rate - November: 13,719 visitors, 5.2% conversion rate, 38.6% trial conversion rate MRR retention - October: 91% retention - November: 94% retention  So although I don't think everyone should opt for tiers, for me they've been a huge win. I think it's worth testing for communities that have cornered themselves with price increases. I think that was the case for me, plus I also used tiers to implement one of Alex's attraction offers from the money models book so there was strategy and a new offer behind it as well. I started the new offer before I introduced tiers and asked all members who didn't stay after the free trial why they cancelled. They all said they loved it, but $99/month was too high for them right now. So it was really an educated guess. Would love to hear how tiers have been going for you so far. Have you tried them? Has anyone reverted back yet?

So excited that skool is bringing the skool stories back. I had the great honor to be on the 1st episode of season 2 with Claire and Kirby ❤️ You can check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePflZFEYgvE&views
