I Analysed The Top 30 Communities About Pages ... this is what I found 😀
I wanted to see what's working, why, take what's useful, discard what's not (and add something uniquely my own) Free vs Paid Communities - Free communities: 8 (27.6%) - Paid communities: 21 (72.4%) Average Cost Per Month - $51.80/mo Niche Breakdown Business: 10 (34.5%) Finance: 4 (13.8%) Fitness: 3 (10.3%) Sport: 3 (10.3%) Spiritual: 2 (6.9%) Fashion: 2 (6.9%) Education: 1 (3.4%) Video Editing: 1 (3.4%) VSL Analysis Out of the 29 communities listed: - Communities with a VSL: 11 - Total Communities: 29 For communities with a VSL: - Average length: 7 minutes 31 seconds Average Number of Images - 2.5 images Average Character Description Length - 1,087 characters Key Insights - The majority (72.4%) of communities are paid, suggesting a trend towards monetization in community building. - Business-focused communities are the most common, making up over a third of the sample. - Not all communities use video sales letters (VSLs) or images in their marketing, but those that do tend to have relatively short videos (average under 8 minutes) and a moderate number of images. - Description lengths vary widely, but average around 1,000 characters, indicating that most communities provide a substantial amount of information about what's inside. - Some niches, like Business and Finance, seem more likely to have paid communities, while others like Video Editing and Spiritual topics have more free options If anyone would like the entire breakdown of each community, let me know - I have it in a Google Sheet 🙂
