Hi, I'm Bg Jimy, and I just completed Day 1 of the 5-Day Grow Your Skool Sprint — about page, done! ✅ I help Indie artists to build their first 1000 fans and start making money with music inside my community, First 1000 Fans Club. My freemium is currently at 13% conversion. (Would love to improve). See the live page here 👉 https://www.skool.com/first-1000-fans-club-3445/about What's working? What would you change?

The Sprint is now LIVE in the Classroom HERE!

So I've created a 5-Day Grow Your Skool Sprint to help you! Over 5 days, we will take 5 simple easy-peasy actions to get more eyeballs on your about page. Which means you'll have WAY more traffic to your About Page by the end of the week (and hopefully, more members!)

I want to share what I learned because I think it's worth being honest about - especially for anyone considering adding a free trial to their Skool community. A little context: I started my community at $7 for a limited time, then bumped it up to $27 and I had 14 members who joined through direct paid before I ever offered a trial. Zero churn, high engagement, people actively going through the content and showing up to live calls. It felt like a really solid foundation. Then I decided to test a 7-day free trial in late February after seeing other community owners talk about how much it lowered the barrier to entry. The logic made sense to me - let people experience the value first, and they'll stay. Here's what actually happened with my 7 trial members: - 1 cancelled during the trial - 1 payment declined after the trial ended - 1 cancelled after their payment went through - so they paid once but left - 2 churned after converting - one cited cutting costs, one gave no reason - 1 is still active with no signs of cancelling - 1 is still in their trial So realistically I got 1 solid member out of 7. That's a ~14% real conversion rate. Compare that to my 14 direct paid members - zero churn, actively engaged, going through the classroom, commenting, showing up every day. The difference in energy between the two groups was honestly striking. My theory is that paying something - even $27 - creates commitment. The person who pays upfront has already made a decision. The person who grabs a free trial is still deciding, and a lot of them never actually commit. They came in curious, not convinced. I also noticed that the free trial seemed to attract a slightly different type of person - more casual, less bought in. My paid members treat it like an investment. My trial members treated it more like a free sample. I've gone back to direct paid at $27/month and I'm running ads without any free trial offer now. I'm watching closely to see if the quality of member holds up.
