That cha-ching sound when someone joins a paid tier...Priceless !🎉 Let me tell you how I got here. On 26 April 2026 I started my little Skool community. I always dreamed of having an online community, long before I knew Skool existed. Barry advised us that to be taken seriously as a community and as a coach, don’t sign up on the hobby plan, and get your first 100 members. So that became my mission. On 26 July I launched my first Meta ad. I had about 26 members. I learned ads through Evelyn Weiss’s community (as recommended by Barry) and got 15 sign-ups. Then I tried other AI tools and it was an absolute dry run. Nothing. I kept going. I brainstormed a new ad with ChatGPT and it took off. 18 sign-ups in 2 weeks! I reached my 100 founding members. Then came the scary part. A week ago, I made the community paid. New ads went out and crickets. Not one sign up. I’ll be honest, I started doubting myself and wanted to make it a freemium plan again. And then, cha-ching. My first paying members. Premium sign up at $25. And Skool unlocked Level 2 growth for me.🤗 We have the tools, the platform, the support from Barry and Tams, and the support of this community. But it is important to show up daily and do the work. I’ve done that since 26 April. If I’ve come this far, you can too. 💯Who else is working towards their first 100 members?
