I went from this idea to the first sale of 99$ just in a few days! In this post, I want to share my path to it with you and also celebrate the good news!
In my courses and in communities, I share my personal experience, and because I've been working in the education space since I was 17 (I was a school and private teacher for a long time), online work for over 10 years, and with AI 1,5 years, it was time to create a community for AI educators (like myself)!
But first, I validated my idea here in our community with a poll, and most people said they would be interested in such a paid community.
I did NOT create a new paid community immediately! It costs 99$ a month to host a community, and I am paying for this community already. Before I start a second one, I wanted to have even more validation. And what shows you more interest than a payment email? 😊
So, I created this landing page for the new "Stellar AI Society" community and decided to pre-sell a "Lifetime pass" with a one-time payment! I would start the paid community for 29$/month, increase then to 49$ and 99$/month. But before the launch on 01.03, I will pre-sell lifetime access and see if someone is really interested enough to pay for it! If there would be no pre-sale, I would not start this community on 01.03. Probably I would grow my audience and my subscriber list more and try again later!
I sent an email campaign to my tiny list of 202 people and made a few posts on Twitter. I was so tired from all the work in the last days with the landing page that I needed a nap.😅 And I woke up to the first sale of 99$! That was super exciting!
Luckily for us all, a member of my email list decided to give it a try and purchased the 1. pass.
That means 3 things:
- The new paid community will be launched for sure on 01.03.24.
- This means a ton of work in the next few days and in the future for me, but I really love it!
- This means that if you are interested in this community for AI course creators, where I will teach you strategies like this and provide you with useful templates, Get your lifetime access now!
The price for that pass will increase tomorrow to 199$ and soon to 299$, 399$, and 499$. The monthly price will be later also 99$/month. So the next 16 hours could save you a ton of money!
See you maybe soon in the other community!
P.S. As I am writing this, a second sale came in from a valued member of this community! Thank you so much! This will be so great!
