A new update to the site. You can now add your email provider (I use Mailerlite) to your site so when people register they can choose to sign up and join your email list. They also get an opportunity after checkout as well. I will make a video on how to use it soon and add documentation. So now you can use a call to action form and add your newsletter sign up on a page and you can capture sign ups when people register and after buying a product.

Not everyone agrees with the 1000 True Fans model and I just want to say RELAX. Its really not that deep! I watched a video of someone breaking down why the 1000 True Fans model doesn't actually work the way the fantasy version promises. They're not wrong. The maths does break. 1,000 fans paying $10 a month sounds like $120,000 a year. But then reality shows up. Growth is slow at first. People cancel. Getting customers costs you either money or time. By the time you account for all of that, the number looks very different. So WHY AM I BUILDING around this idea? (,,•᷄‎ࡇ•᷅ ,,)? Because the maths was never the point. The point is that your brain needs something to move toward. FACTS. There's a concept called the Reticular Activating System - your RAS - and it's basically the filter your brain uses to decide what to pay attention to. Give it a target and it starts noticing everything that moves you closer to that target. Conversations. Opportunities. Content ideas. People. Things that were always there but invisible until you had a reason to see them. 1,000 is a target. That's its job. It's not a promise. It's a direction. The full article to this is in the classroom under MINDSET 📈🧠💡🎯📈 https://www.skool.com/sell-digital-products-7402/classroom/2ccd0ef6?md=881cda8f31c342c3a56abc0ee1728fca Your number doesn't have to be 1,000 You can play this adventurous game and aim for 1,000 true fans but you don't have to - many people sell well with smaller numbers. Also you may not go from zero to 1,000 (although that is what I wish for you... and myself!) chances are it will be a slow burn so you may want to focus on a smaller milestone. This will help keep your momentum in check. It can be 100. It can be 200. It can be 500. The number was never the thing. The thing is having a number. Pick a number that feels real to you right now. Not aspirational to the point of paralysis. Real.

I have been adding videos into the classroom that will help you set up your Djangify Storefront. If you need additional help about the set up process leave a comment below. If the videos and documentation have done their job hopefully there won't be many questions. I think a video on setting up Stripe is the only one not available but there is documentation on it. All documentation is at https://www.djangify.com/docs

Introduce yourself here. Here's a short template. Tell us who you are (the real version) Drop a comment. No pitch, no polish needed. I'm [name] from [location]. I've been building [what you do] for [who]. You can find me at [your Djangify link]. One true thing about where I'm at right now: [one honest sentence]. I am here to learn how to build to $500 [A year / A month / A Week / A Day] After adding your introduction I recommend you spend your first 48 hours getting to know your fellow community members. Like a few comments. Say hi. Leave new people a welcome comment. It all helps to build a community vibe. Of course if you are just here for help that's ok too. This community has been built to work with what you need rather than what I want. ☺️

While I run experiments I do want to support people with a Djangify store So people who own a Djangify site get free access for right now. That's the entry requirement. Skin in the game. If you don't have your engine setup yet, launch your store at djangify.com to secure your automatic invite. Inside the classrooms you'll find the full experiment to sell digital products - what worked, what didn't, whether paid ads beat organic, whether Skool itself moves the needle for me at all. You'll meet other site owners running their own experiments. You'll find joint venture opportunities, collaboration, and the kind of honest numbers nobody puts in a case study when it comes to running an online business and selling digital products.
