@Chloe Wigan sounds like a great thing to share with your email list and IG followers who are reluctant to come and hang out with you on SS ;)

@Veronika Pyszkova great work!!

@Christina Laidlaw love that! How's it going?

@Lucy Reyes it’s a process hey?! I have been experimenting as well

Hey Mary, this is such a good question and honestly one I see constantly, so let me name two things that might actually help you move instead of gathering more data. First: a Skool community isn't automatically a low ticket offer, it's a platform. Loads of high ticket business owners are running a Skool community purely as lead gen and nurture into 1:1 or premium work, and there are many premium groups on here (including Hormozi who has a $1000/month membership). So the real question isn't "does a community fit my price point," it's "what job do I want it to do for me?" Second, and this one's bigger than choosing a platform or format: having to show up way before anyone else does is part of business life. When I first started my business, I realised that as an introvert (and a bit of a weirdo) I am used to and okay with being on my own, so I dug deep into WHY I was doing this work when it would be so much easier to do something else and held that as the reason I would show up... not if others do... but until. I believe it's THE key to building the resilience needed to stick something out for the long haul. I've been in business for 12 years and all the platforms have changed so much, even getting to a point where I got a lot of engagement in different places, that has changed now and they are ghost towns (*cough* Instagram and email). In terms of data collecting, the best way to do this is to start, commit for a set amount of time (I recommend 90 days, minimum), give it your all and collect your data because your audience, work, niche, and own needs/strengths/capacity is different from everyone else. There are many people on Skool (and any platform) who have had incredible success and others who have not. And then the majority of people in the middle who are sticking it out and continuing to experiment and try new things. This one goes deeper than what I unpack in here, it's exactly the kind of thing we work through inside Cozy Business Quest, but hopefully this is a starting point for you :)
