I've been studying creators with small audiences, trying to find the best way to monetize. I now think it really isn't that hard to make good money, even with little to no audience. I see creators all the time making 20k/month or more with less than a 100 followers only getting about 100 views per video. Implementing these strategies in my business makes me money with only 14 subscribers on youtube. If you have little to no audience and are trying your best to monetize, here's a few tricks I've learned that works: 1. High Ticket Offer Since your traffic is very minimal and you have little to no lead flow, you need to make it count. Selling 10 people a $49 offer won't make you $10,000. Selling 10 people a $999 offer will. Your problem isn't scalability, it's that nobody wants to buy your stuff. To justify the price, your offer needs to be DWY (1-1 coaching) or DFY (services) or a combination of both, there also needs to be some kind of guarantee that minimizes the risk. For example, if your clients don't achieve a certain result within a certain timeframe you will give them their money back or work with them for free until they do (preferably both). 2. Value Funnel Give away as much stuff for free as you possibly can. Everything you're thinking of making people pay for, make a free skool community and give it to people for free. The goal is to build trust and credibility with your audience. Provide them value and get them results for free and they'll want to buy whatever you're selling no matter the price. Give away all the information for free, sell the implementation. (A skool games winner last month got me to buy his high ticket offer this way 👀) 3. Sales System It's very important to have a free community if you have a small audience. It builds a degree of authority, and it allows you to have a place to provide more value to your potential customers. But it also puts them all in one place so that you can convert them. The only conversion method you should be doing is onboarding calls, get as many people on the phone with you as possible, coach them for free for 30 minutes, if they're a good fit for your offer pitch it to them at the end of the call. A lot of people are scared of getting on calls, i was too. But when i finally gave it a shot i realized how powerful selling on calls is, if you can just book calls and you have a good offer you will make money.

What is more effective? Running paid AD's to your Free Community or to your Paid Community? Would love some guidance from Community owners who run Paid Ads to their Skool Community 🙌

Hey all, we since increased our price from $50 to $150 in our cybersecurity mentorship program which helps IT professionals go from IT to cybersecurity analyst. Since increasing the price, we have not converted anyone at the new price. Our conversion method is via Skool DM where we send a tailored pathway to the student in the free Skool community and then show them our offer at the end. We have people who said they really like the offer but cannot afford the new price but could afford the $50 price tag. We think the program is worth $150 but how can we convert people at this new price? 1. Does our ideal customer genuinely not have the money or cannot they not see the value? 2. Should we switch to sales calls instead of DMs and a tailored Loom video? Thanks all!
