Think you need a ton of content ready before launching your Skool community? Not necessarily. In fact, starting with minimal content—or even no content at all—can be one of the best ways to create something truly valuable with your founding members. Instead of loading up your Classroom with pre-recorded videos, focus on real-time engagement. Here’s what I suggest: 🔑 Invite your initial members and build your content with them. Host live sessions based on their needs, and let their feedback guide your future lessons. 📹 Repurpose your live session recordings as modules for your Classroom. This way, your community grows alongside your content, making it interactive and personalized. 💡 Want to keep it simple? You can even run a thriving community without a Classroom at all! Some creators prefer to focus solely on weekly live calls without offering formal courses. It’s all about what works best for you and your members. 💻 Pro Tip: Manage which features are visible to your members by toggling tabs on and off in your Skool settings. Start simple—just activate the Calendar for your live sessions. You can always add the Classroom later if it aligns with your goals. Check out the screenshot below for guidance! Your turn: How did you approach content when launching your community? Did you start with pre-made lessons, build them as you went, or skip the Classroom entirely? Drop your experiences below—let’s share ideas!

Hey Tribe Builders! 👋 As you scale your YouTube channels and membership communities, here are some game-changing strategies from Alex Hormozi's masterclasses that will take your paid memberships to the next level. 🚀 1. Leverage Annual Memberships for Long-Term Success Annual memberships are the key to increasing your cash flow and commitment from your members. By offering compelling discounts (e.g., "pay for 6 months, get 6 months free"), you can: - Boost your cash flow upfront - Significantly reduce churn (Hormozi notes that annual memberships have churn rates as low as 2% per month!) Consider this: annual members feel like their membership is “paid off” after a few months and are more likely to purchase additional products or services! 💰 2. Use Your Free Community as a Lead Magnet Your free community should be more than just a gathering place; it’s a powerful tool to nurture leads and funnel them into your paid membership. Here’s how: - Provide general advice in the free group, but save the personalized, high-value insights for your paid community. - Host events like 3-day paid challenges to convert engaged free members into committed paid subscribers. 3. Drive Engagement with Accountability & Personalization In today’s sea of free resources, people pay for one thing: accountability. Add value by offering personalized touchpoints—whether it’s one-on-one calls, tailored action plans, or exclusive implementation checklists. Remember, people will stay for the personalized attention you offer. 4. Test Your Pricing to Find Your Sweet Spot Are you afraid to raise prices? 🤔 Don’t be! Hormozi emphasizes that pricing tests are your best friend. Keep pushing your prices higher until you see a dip in conversion rates. Your core audience will continue paying if they see the value, and this can massively boost your profits. 💸 5. Make Your Membership a Long-Term Asset Finally, focus on creating a membership that grows over time. Annual plans aren’t just about locking people in for a year—they build a deeper relationship with your members, leading to higher renewal rates and a compounding asset that drives your business long term. 🌱
