Hey Flames, I run a book club in Chandigarh (India) for entrepreneurs who read business/psychology books and actually apply them. We're 5-10 members. Meet twice monthly. Discussions go deep, sometimes until 1-2 AM. Zero networking BS. We have electric camaraderie. I want more peeps like them. Trying to grow from 10 to 20 members, so I ran FB/IG ads. What happened: 50,000+ people saw the ads. 194 clicked through to the Google Form application. 0 people filled it out. Not one. (no tech issues, i triple checked) The form isn't crazy: - Name, business type, location (multiple choice) - One paragraph question: "What's one business concept you're currently trying to implement?" - Culture fit question (multiple choice) - Phone number My theory: Maybe there's a trust gap. One ad had our meet photo, the other had a designed poster. Both got clicks. But when they land on the form, just questions, no context so they bounce. The ads seem decent.... (screenshots below). They were written to put browsers into problem state, starting with a question. Then telling them the benefits if they were to solve that problem. At last show them how our club is the vehicle for the solution. What I'm thinking: Build a Google Doc bridge between the ad and form. Going through @Travis Sago "2 Page Google Doc Cash Machine" training now to write it. G doc will show them what actually happens at our meets, who attends, culture, more photos. Shower them with our FUN meet photos, warm them up a lil. Group is 3 years old, so we have ton of pics. THEN send them to the form. Then ask them to experience a trial meeting. Trying to use Travis's "First Date" principal. Our culture will filter the networking types naturally. The movement piece: I created this community before I joined FIRE, so the movement isn't sharpened yet. That's a work in progress. Right now it's: "Entrepreneurs who implement books, not just read them." But I know it needs clarity.

When you run an auction you can do it in multiple communities and have multiple winners, right? Like: have 10 spots - 10 communities - 1 winner per community (not exactly, just as an example) So I was thinking: Ok I don't have my own community - so let's partner with other people and use theirs! (check) But then I was like.. Is it ethical for me to replicate that on as many communities as I can? ------------ Is that what ya'll do or this is a terrible and complicated idea? - should I keep it simple and just do one for the love of God? Recommendations please! ✌️ Thanks!

I observed a big email marketer how he designed his black friday offer. He had coupon codes saved in his shopping cart. Attached how he structured it. The people had to test combinations to get the right code. My idea: Let's do it in public and get IOIs. Not sure if I would do different levels. Maybe just one or two. I was also thinking more in the realm of this old Codebreaker game. That we tell them how many numbers are in the right spot?!? Didn't try it yet, but love your input.

What has worked best for you? Make your skool very low ticket ($5, $9, $11, etc) OR --> FREE (and have paid stuff on the menu) I know that the answer depends on the goal! In my head...I'm thinking ok aside putting my community in other peoples flows... I can put some basic adds yo drive traffic too! So I'd looove for the ads to pay for themselves... like charging $8/mo and insveting those back on ads ... And inside have more stufff too (and amazing free content too of course) THE OTHER OPTION COULD BE: Make it free... inside have a mini $8 product etc... Thoughs? What has worked best for you? Thank you ~ Nelson

I know this is like asking 'how long is a piece of string,' but I'm curious what you guys think. I just started a community yesterday and I've sent two emails about the group to a list of 800-ish people who I email daily. So far I've only added 8 members, about 1%. Some of them are my best customers, and some of them are people who barely read my emails. I know we can grow our communities leveraging the members themselves, and I already have plans to do so, but I don't know how long the group can have such a low member count before it starts to feel like nobody showed up to the party. Am I overthinking this?
