I'm at 96 members after 50 days (yeah I didn't make it to 100 in 30) would be at 103 but 6 have churned (and I removed 1). I've been sending a personal DM to everyone who leaves, just a check-in and an open invitation back. 3 have replied with their reasons, mostly life and timing, but I'm still wondering if better onboarding would have kept them longer. I send each new member a welcome DM and invite to engage with an introduction post and ask them a specific question about their business but when someone joins but doesn't engage at all in the first week do you DM them again after the welcome message? Or does that feel too pushy? A lot of people don't reply to the first DM... I don't want to be annoying but I also don't want to just watch people quietly disappear.

When I planned the Community Clinic & Mastermind, I did not know, that my husband (Alex) needs an urgent heart surgery. Now, I had an option to cancel everything. Or to push through without telling anyone like a martyr. I choose different. I choose to keep going, but also to share this with you. What that means for you/ for this space? The next week might be hectic for me - jumping between the house, and the hospital, and the community. And I am asking for your help - to keep this place alive. Please - like, comment, post (do not wait for me) - continue with the hackathon lessons to build your own communities (this is most important) - support each other - when questions are asked (cause I might not be available) Also, I might not be able to respond to your DM/post/comment right away. I will do my best. Big thanks to everyone for your support to date! PS BTW do not be surprised to see me around Skool communities a lot - cause I don't know what else do while sitting in the waiting room/ICU.

For a while, I was doing what most people do. YouTube video, CTA, landing page, opt-in, email list. The standard funnel. It worked okay. But okay wasn't good enough when I looked at the drop off between click and sign up. So I tested something. Instead of sending people to a landing page, I started sending them directly to my Skool community, where my lead magnet lives inside the classroom. Conversions went up. Noticeably. And here's the part that made it even better. Because I'm on Skool's pro plan, every new member who joins automatically gets added to my email list. So I'm building the community and the list at the same time, with zero extra steps. Two birds, one stone. If you want to try this yourself, here's the basic setup. Step one. Create a search-based YouTube video targeting a specific phrase your ideal member is already looking for. Step two. Put your lead magnet inside your Skool classroom, locked behind membership. Step three. In your video CTA, send people directly to your Skool community link, not a landing page. Step four. Connect Skool to your email provider using the pro plan automation so every new join captures the email automatically. That's it. No complicated tech stack. No leaky funnel. Is anyone else here using Skool as their primary lead magnet destination? Would love to know what you're seeing.
