@Jaime OConnor You couldn't be in better hands than watching what Travis does and modelling it. He shows what he is doing right out in the open here in this community. There aren't very many steps. You've got this.

@Phil Wheatley outstanding pivot. Many cake shop owners would have folded with no idea how to recover. I see so many retail businesses totally beholden to the traffic that walks past their door. They are like vultures waiting for something to die in front of them (hat tip Dan Kennedy). Sitting ducks with no control of their future, but massive outgoings and risk. Next thing their shop is vacant or a new tenant takes the space over to do the same thing. And the cycle goes on. Occasionally one of them will ask for my email address but the majority of them are too busy taking 'now' money to get control of 'future' money and financial stability.

@Leandro Langeani not necessarily because grand parents are parents first. I think it’s a great idea what you’re doing

@Leandro Langeani this ⬆️

@Matthias Van Cauter Nice strategy. As Travis has said every author should have a community built around their book. Super way to monetise their audience

For quick reference, here is a list of the awesome monetisation ideas submitted by members so far: 1) The most common way to monetise Skool groups is to charge a monthly membership fee. Often people use a 2-group strategy by using a free group as a lead magnet and then ascend members into the paid group using an irresistible offer. 2) Sell Your Own Products, Services Or Coaching: It's easy to use a Skool group to host your digital products and the attached community is perfect for giving support, letting members contribute, and upselling them into higher level programs (next) 3) Upsell New Products And Services: It's very easy to sell more stuff to your members because you have already built a relationship with them 4) Make Affiliate Offers: Sell affiliate products to your audience, with or without added time or number-limited bonuses 5) Run Polls & Auctions: DM everybody who answers a 3 Question Poll or bids on an auction with a personalised offer based on their response or bid amount. **Polls and auctions can generate 5 or 6 figures in 24 to 72 hours 6) Goodwill Campaigns: Use a sequence of posts and emails to promote a product or service through a dedicated campaign. Can be run 12 times a year 7) Copy and Paste Courses: You can copy and paste entire courses from one Skool into another with the "Import Key" feature. License or sell your content into other Skool groups or sell other people's courses in your own 8) Offering Surprise Bonuses: Give surprise bonuses to people who purchase products or services from you or through your affiliate link by unlocking courses for them in the Classroom 9) In Person Events: Live or virtual events such as AMA's and Coaching Calls that can be monetised in all sorts of ways 10) Rent Access To Classroom Spots: Let other creators and course owners rent access to your classroom 11) Rent Pinned Posts: Allow people to place a Pinned Post in your group in exchange for an advertising fee or a profit share 12) Sell Sponsored Workshops: Have experts hold Workshops for your community and split the revenue from their offers

@Titus Di yes there are so many opportunities when they are all listed out
