🎉 Today at GIF, we blasted past a wild milestone: 100 paid members and officially hit #160 ranking in discovery! 🤯 Ryan, Eric, and I are trying to shake up the skool scene by proving you can create FUN first, education second communities. I can't believe that we started a fun experiment three weeks ago that catapulted us to page one of the finance sector (@Sid Sahasrabuddhe can you please make a fun category for us?!) 🙈 As we always preach post a GIF in the comments if you love GIFs as much as we do. We are loving this journey with you all ❤️

Hi I’m Oli 👋 I run several paid Communities on Skool that make around $800k /month collectively. Today, I’m sharing with you how to fill, sell, operate and retain a successful Mastermind Group. In this post I’ll be covering: - How to fill a Mastermind Community - Captaining your group and managing Mastermind Operations - Protecting your recurring revenue with a Retention Playbook To illustrate I’ll be spotlighting one of my Communities called NextLevel Scale™. Quick context about this particular Mastermind and Me… I started this Community about 5 years ago back in 2018. Primarily to help other info Business Owners who are scaling to 7 and and 8 figures with their own Masterminds, Group Coaching Programs, Memberships and Online Courses. The investment has risen each year, but currently stands at $48k for 12-months Membership. Right now we have 50 active members which contributes to around $2.4 million in annual recurring revenue. My role is to lead and facilitate the group with a Team that comprises of one full time Coach and a part time assistant. But I didn’t start here. My journey goes back over the past 20 years of being in the info business. Since then I’ve ran virtually every kind of model you can imagine: Full Format Franchising, Online Memberships, Area Exclusive Licensing, Online Courses + Digital Products, In-person training centre, Group Coaching Programs, a National Association, Home study courses, Marketing Agency, Publishing Partners, Live Events, Equity based Consulting, Retreats, Private Consulting, Certification programs, Printed Monthly Newsletter Subscriptions… …and obviously Masterminds Groups. The high ticket Mastermind Community model is hard to beat. It’s almost like “alchemy“, and the timing to grow your own Community like mine is especially fortuitous right now. My goal here is to summarize the lessons I've learned, share what has worked, and what to avoid. Fair warning: this post will likely be long, so be sure to bookmark it now in your browser to refer back to later.

Hey guys, wanted to show how I'm using Skool. I'm using 1 community to work with free and paid users (despite everyone sayings you should use two). I explain why in the video and why I think it's working for now (and helping generate more sales). I'm selling a $97/month membership to help people get clients with video. A $1,497 automation product to automate your content workflow. And soon I'll have a $7,500 product where I show people how to hire/train a content specialist to run their content marketing program. More of my logic is in the video. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.

in this video I break down exactly the strategy I'm currently using to scale both my free & paid Skool community. We started offering Free Onboarding Calls with a "Specialist" and it has been working like a charm. We're providing massive free value to our group and we're converting customers as well. Win-Win! On top of this I've been playing around a lot with paid ads lately. I think I've found the formula that works the best right now (Prior to free trials getting released) Let me know what you guys think and if you have any questions. Hopefully this was helpful 🚀

Very stoked about this!! If I can get 5 members...I can get 500. SKOOL is a great and simple platform to use! I know this is nothing compared to what the biggest accounts are doing but ...... You have to start somewhere!!!
