DON’T EXPECT YOUR $9 COMMUNITY TO GET YOU TO $10K MONTHS Low-ticket communities sound great. Charge $9 a month. Get lots of members. Build recurring revenue. But there’s a math problem. At $9/month, you need 1,112 paying members to hit $10K MRR. And those paying members don’t magically appear. If you convert 20–30% of your community to paid, you’d need roughly 3,700–5,600 total members to produce those 1,112 paying members. And then you have churn. So unless you already have a massive audience, a strong ad engine or a reliable source of high-volume traffic, $9 is a volume game. I’d rather make the math easier. Start Premium at $49+ per month. Build reliable traffic into your free community. Create a clear reason to upgrade. Focus on traffic, conversion and retention. Then offer VIP for the people who want more access, support or faster results. You don’t need thousands of paying members to build a $10K/month business. You need a business model where the math actually works. So ask yourself: Are you trying to build a community that needs massive volume? Or one that can make more money with fewer members?

Congrats and a BIG THANK-YOU to @Kimberly Armatys who is going to get to Level 8 this week in our community!! She's a few points away from reaching this significant milestone. When you get to Level 8, you win a 1-year Premium Membership. ...but we're going to give her a VIP Membership because she's our first Level 8 and broke the record. Let's help her get there a little sooner. Drop some 🧡 in the comments for Kimberly!!

Would love to know what everyone is loving (or not) about the graphics tools you use for infographics and branding. Is Canva enough these days? If not, what's worth the time and money to add to the toolkit?

Share one win for the week 😉 ... and drop words of appreciation for 3 community members in the comments below 🥰

Paid communities are growing with Growth Boost now. Freemium communities will start getting features in Skool's Meta Ads in two weeks. This is a great opportunity to grow on Skool with social media (like Facebook, IG or YouTube) What do you think?
