I just wanted to share a quick update on the incredible growth we’ve seen in our free community over the past 30 days. We’ve grown by over 1,000 members, and 100% of our members are actively engaging! 🎉 Firstly, I huge thanks to this group and for giving many people a tested path to follow.
Here’s what really helped us over the past few weeks.
- Leverage YouTube and Focus on the Right Keywords✅
I’ve been consistently posting content to YouTube, targeting keywords that bring the *right* traffic—not necessarily the most traffic. Tools like VidIQ helped me identify keywords with moderate competition, which boosted organic engagement in our community.
- Create Premium Assets in Your Free Group ✅
I designed valuable tools for my free members, such as a custom blog generator using OpenAI’s API. I then created an even better version in the paid community, showing the value of upgrading. This helped increase conversions into the paid tier. The idea has been to big a good taste in the free version of what they can expect in the paid group. - Consistency in Content Creation ✅
Stay consistent! Posting consistently on YouTube (3x a week) and TikTok (daily) played a significant role. Consistency builds trust, and I’ve seen a steady rise in both engagement and conversions as a result.
- Spam Management and Community Cleanup ✅
Once we hit around 500 members in the Free community we started getting a lot of spam accounts, this was very frustrating. So we enabled the plugins that requires members to unlock the ability to post and message other members only after reaching level 2, reducing spam and keeping engagement high. - Don’t Get Anxious … like i did ✅
If you’re like me and sometimes get overwhelmed by the numbers others post… like
@Max Perzon being at $100k +... I and here i am just scratching 4k a month 😅… just remember—it’s okay to go at your own pace. Focus on what works, and the rest will follow. - Do One Thing Well, Then Move On ✅
I think it's a good idea to focus on one thing at a time (at least for me anyway). Admittedly, I am a bit of a muppet and can't do two things at once very well … I can barely chew gum and walk. Regardless, I think its important to go step by step. For example, work on your email sequence for a good week or two BEFORE moving on to paid ads.
Next week we are going to start the free onboarding sessions in the Free group to try and convert more people to the paid community, I am looking forward to seeing the results from that…. If you have any recommendations I am all ears!
Thats it! Thanks for reading, i hope that helps someone
