Hi folks, I love the idea of this community, and have some great people here, but I have to accept, once and for all, that i'm spreading myself too thinly across three communities. Watching the Hormozi Q&A just now also made me realise that I should also probably adopt the 'free and paid' duo model with my writing community. And starting a second writing group means that this one has to go. Argh! I will archive this group later in the week, which will mean all the posts can still be read, but no-one will be able to post, comment etc. Anyone who joined on the paid tier of the last few weeks will be refunded this week too. Thanks so much for joining! I'm only sorry I don't have three brains, three pairs of arms and three times as many hours in the day! 😫👊👊👊

Skool groups consist of three main zones, accessible via tabs along the top. Funnily enough, they all begin with 'C' and are as follows: 📌 COMMUNITY, where you're reading this. The most important place, where we all hang out and chat. 📌 CLASSROOM. The place for any and all resources I have to offer you, including downloads and videos. This section will grow and develop over time. 📌 CALENDAR. The place where we can all see upcoming group events. 🕹🕹🕹 GAME ON! 🕹🕹🕹 Skool communities have a fun gamification element baked in. Whenever another member hits Like on one of your comments or posts, you earn one point - and the more you earn, the more you progress up through the levels. 🔥 Reaching Level 2 here at Community Starters allows you to unlock my handy Skool Community Starters checklist PDF, which will help you ensure you're ready to usher in new members. Don't worry, it doesn't take long to reach Level 2! The gaps between Levels get wider as you ascend through the ranks, but they start off pretty narrow. 👊 You might also want to have a read of my Medium article about Skool and the basics of communities here. Always feel free to ask any questions you have about these main features of Skool, whether you're responding to this post or starting a new question post of your own. And trust me, NO question is stupid. 👊

On Alex Hornozi's (indirect) advice, I'm experimenting with raising the price of my Writing Confidence Lounge group from $5 to $27. In Alex's words, "The higher the price, the more people believe [what you're offering] will work." Does that make sense to you?

Monday's Skool Games hangout call is still going through my brain, as wisdom nuggets rise to the surface. Here's the latest. As I expect you know by now, when we raise the price of our community, the people who already joined stay at the price they signed up for. Alex expressed the best way of putting it yet, though: these early birds get a "life-long founder's discount". I am loving that. What do you think? :)

Last night saw the second Skool Games weekly hangout Zoom call. 🔥 Alex Hormozi was on FIRE with tips! I want to buy his brand of coffee, lemme tell ya. The session was so valuable that I'll be watching the recording again when it lands, presumably today, and sharing my own major takeaways with you this week. Here's one memorable moment for you, though, when Alex suggested a key Q to ask your community members: "What's one thing we could do in the community that would make it worth 10 times the price?" Strikes me as a great question. And of course, I'm going to ask you. Soon, this community will become paid (so nudge a Skool friend and get them to join fast!), so let's pretend it's $5 per month right now. What's one thing we could do at Community Starters that would make it worth $50 per month?
