I wanted to share a behind-the-scenes experiment we’ve been running in my healing Skool, in case it sparks some thoughts for your own groups. For a long time, I've felt that rigid paywalls can get in the way of what communities are actually meant to do. My core goal is that financial strain shouldn't block someone from getting support when they're struggling. So I decided to test a shift toward a gift-economy model. Here is how we set it up and how it’s running so far: - The Dual-Tier Setup: Our premium tiers ($33/month or $16/month yearly) remain completely intact for members who can comfortably pay full price. That revenue helps hold the door open and sustains the backend. - The "Pay What You Can" Path: For members facing tight budgets or high medical costs, we opened a flexible tier where they can contribute any amount that feels right to them—no questions asked, no one turned away. - The Operational Workaround: Because Skool's native checkout is fixed, we handle the flexible option via an external giving page combined with a simple note system (PayPal/Stripe) where members drop their community handle, and I manually move them into the Premium tier within 24 hours. It adds a tiny bit of admin work on my end, but it completely removes friction and gatekeeping for the member. I’d love to hear from other builders here: Have any of you experimented with gift-economy models, sliding scales, or hybrid pricing in your communities? How do you balance financial sustainability with radical accessibility?

I just officially launched my first skool community that's a book club focused on personal and professional growth + turning what we read into real actions/results in our own lives. We've officially hit 5 members (yay!) but to keep it running we need at least one person on one of the paid tiers within the next month and just more members in general so there is enough of a community to want to participate in the discussions. I'm looking for any and ALL advice you have about: - getting my first 100 members (or more) - where to share/market the community without spending money to run ads for it (because it's a free community) - How often to post, engage, tag people/etc. - & if you want to take a look and tell me what I'm missing in the community too, please let me know and I'll send you the link to check it out (A little background and specific question, I'm the CEO of a successful company and an awarded efficiency/systems expert, which is where the strategies for implementing what we learn from the books we're reading comes from, so the value to join the community is there because it's the same strategies we implement for clients, but in a DIY way instead of services - but I don't know if this should be a part of the language/marketing for the group or not because I'm not sure if it sounds more like true value or just self-promotion). Again, any and all advice is greatly appreciated, thank you for taking the time to help!
