11 days ago, I had zero members on Skool.
Today, we're approaching Top 100 in the Money category. I didn't have a massive following. I am yet to share on any of my socials, and I haven't had a team promoting for me.
Here's what I've done:
β Posted ~3-5 times per day on avg.
β Lead with value and be personable
β Welcomed every single new member
β Rewarded the early members publicly
β Announced something exciting almost daily
The result? 450+ members. 7,000+ engagements. And momentum I can feel.
The biggest lesson?
People don't just want content. They want to feel like they're part of something being built.
Start messy. Build in public, and the audience will come.
A question I have for the group though -- at what point did you make your community paid? I'm trying to figure out the right timing. Do I flip the switch at 1,000 members? 2,000? Or is it less about the number and more about something else?
For those of you who've done this before; what worked? What would you do differently?
Drop your thoughts below. I'd love to learn from the group. π
