So I changed my community into a subscription based now. I give members 50% savings full access to my platform for monthly and yearly. I did this because I noticed that growth bonuses from skool only apply to paid communities and id hate to lose out on benefits to me. Id love opinions if this good idea?

i asked my members in Community Income Mastermind last week. then i said: let's find out. we are doing a $3k challenge in Community Income Mastermind, in November: - $3,000 of new cash, in your bank account - any route counts: a Black Friday, flash promo. 1:1 clients. premium members into your community. choose your own adventure. members in CIM are doing very different things: - one member is going for $1k — one client for a new offer - another said $3k would help a lot - my answer to both: you know the rules — there are no rules. $3k is the target. realistic, with a bit of stretch. your exact number, we pick together on the kickoff call. next week! the events are in the calendar. the lessons are mapped in the classroom. we are kicking-off on Nov 3. implementation calls always in two time zones, so everyone can join live. replays for every class and session. and the fun part... i'm doing it too. i am determined to make it happen — for you & for me. ➡️ are you in? ps as always, doors to CIM are only open 4 last days every month. so, November 1st, we are closing. next window is the end of November — when this challenge is already done.

Ben organized a competition. i took a chance. i got shortlisted. more importantly, i got visibility. it took me about 30 minutes to put it together with the scrip and rehearsals. 5+ ppl joined my community from that efforts. and, which is amazing, one person bought VIP offer here in Skool First 100 right after my presentation the learnings? - don't trust growth boost to grow your community. - trust yourself to be able to communicate your offer clearly. - take chances, who knows where they lead you what do you think? was it a good pitch? are you joining VIP? ⬇️

we are opening our Community Clinic event with the offer. why? cause we must build it backwards. nobody is buying? today we will fix that! today's schedule: - 15:30 UK / 10:30 New York - a Welcome Session - how the next 3 days work - 16:00 UK / 11:00 New York - a Case Study: community owner who is actually making money ☘️ - 16:30 UK / 11:30 New York - a Roundtable discussion with two amazing experts ⬇️ - 18:00 UK / 13:00 New York - Hot Seats: come and fix your offer/monetization strategy - we stay until every problem is solved ♨️ the EXPERTS: @Liz Lemarchand is a sales strategist, NLP coach, author, and founder of Money & Growth for Women, with 25+ years in sales and marketing. she helps women sell without pushy tactics or constant hustle. if "i don't want to be salesy" lives in your head, bring it to her. a very good friend @Stephanie Hetu , who has been an online marketing strategist for 25 years. she trains people on generative AI and founded Skool en Français and IA pas que ça - IA simplifiée. her job is making offers, content and sales simpler. if your offer takes a paragraph to explain, bring it to her. between them + me that's almost 75 years of selling, and neither of them will tell you to rent a Lamborghini 😎 are you coming for these amazing sessions?

not after a pitch. not off a sales call. there wasn't one. one of them wasn't paying me anything at the time. she was in the free community, she'd been there a while, and at some point she went looking for the payment link herself. that's the part nobody teaches, because it doesn't work as a tactic. yesterday i said September's theme is nobody's buying. this is the other half of it. when what you give someone actually changes something for them, paying you stops feeling like a cost. it starts feeling like the obvious next move. WHY MOST OF YOU DON'T ASK - you've done the hard bit. you started the community, you post, people show up, some of them even reply. - then someone asks how you make money from this, and you change the subject. - i know why. the selling you've seen modelled is horrible. WHAT YOU'VE BEEN SHOWN - fake countdown timers. - "only 3 spots left" when there are clearly not 3 spots left. - DMs that open with a compliment and pivot to a pitch in the second message. you don't want to be that. so you've decided you'd rather not sell at all. that's not a confidence problem. it's a model problem. selling means being clear about what you do, who it's for, and what it costs. and saying it out loud more than once. the discomfort comes from thinking you have to perform, and you don't. so that's September in Community Income Mastermind. offers that sound like you, prices you can say without flinching, and building the kind of room where people ask how they can pay you. ➡️ join Community Income Mastermind for $37/m until 1st Sep (going to be $97/m) with 7-day free trial. cancel anytime. p.s. this is post 5 in a series of 8. p.p.s. glad to have @Zena Ryder part of the CIM crew
