I can’t be the only one here who isn’t aiming to build a paid community. My goal is to create a space where I provide education and value entirely for free. My vision is for it to be like a big funnel a place where people can gain knowledge, share experiences, and grow together without any cost barrier. If anyone else is working with a similar approach on Skool, I’d love to connect and exchange ideas! Let’s build something impactful together.🚀

My community relies heavily on video analysis and it is tough to have to download every video to watch it. Is there any way around this or is there a fix in the works?

Sunday evening here at my place, and I'm wrapping up the final plans for a big week ahead. I'm excited because my community is almost ready to welcome its first members! 🎉 The roadmap and about page will be live soon, with more content rolling out steadily through October. I know there are already a few people eagerly waiting to get started, and I’m ready to help as many as possible from day one. What are your plans for the week? 👀

I want to show you how I use launch ads that optimize for purchase to reach people who have probably not heard about your paid community before, or at least you're likely not top of mind for them right now. These people are in the market for a community like yours. This can boost your personal brand and help you connect with potential members who are new to your world, and convert them relatively quickly. This strategy works great when you have a launch offer for your paid community that has a sense of urgency. Like when: - You’re having an event / special training / guest speaker etc. in your community - You're increasing membership fees soon - You're adding a limited-time bonus for new members, and it's expiring - You're switching your community to a waitlist model Here's how it works in three steps: Step 1: Make Social Proof Ads First, we need to make ads that showcase the value of your paid community. Here's how: 1. Ask your current members what they love most about your community. Use their testimonials to create 5-10 different ads. 2. Share these ads with your existing members and ask them to like and comment honestly. 3. This builds up social proof and helps protect against negative comments when you show the ads to potential new members. Step 2: Set Up Your Main Ad Campaign Start this 14-10 days before your enrollment deadline: 1. Create a new campaign and set the budget for each ad set (not the whole campaign). 2. Use the ads you made with all the likes and comments from your current members (see in the video how to do that using “existing ad” plus post ID) 3. Target different groups: 4. Start with $50-150 per day for each ad set. This works because Facebook shows new ads to people most likely to join, so we're finding interested potential members fast. Step 3: Set Up Retargeting Ads 1. Create ads that focus on the urgency of your community offer  2. Start showing these to people who've visited your about page, for the first 24-48 hours. 3. Then show them to people who've engaged with your ads in the last 30 days. 4. In the last 3-4 days, show these ads to all your warm audiences.

I’m celebrating my new all-time high MRR - $329. I’m close to my May goal of $500 MRR to break even with all my expenses! We keep climbing! :)
