I made my first $1 with my community yesterday. Steps I took: 1. Flipped my free community to paid. 2. Enabled the 7-day trial. 3. Allowed annual payments. 4. Ran some Meta Ads. 5. Immediately setup a call with the member. The person just went ahead and chose annual, so I made $102. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Beliefs broken for me: 1. I can’t make money on here. 2. No one cares about what I know. 3. No one will buy annual. 4. A trial member will just lurk and then churn. Anyway, I’m pretty excited. I’ve been on Skool for a while but just not “taking action” as many say. I’ll update this post as things develop.

What's makes you suspicious of someone on Skool

10 activities a day keeps the blank profile pic away.

Until today, I avoided using polls in my emailed posts. I assumed the UX wouldn't be great. The product folks at Skool are, of course, way ahead of me. If you include a poll in a post you email to your members, your email will have a "Vote Now" button instead of the usual "View Post". It's a subtle difference. But, it is exactly the CTA I wanted. That's all. I hope this helps somebody.
