Build a free group as fast as possible, get it to, say 500 people.
You can do a simple invite from your other social:
-- Hey [firstname]
- just released a new training program, (xyz result) thinking about charging $97 ++
(use an honest number)
want to take a look at it and give me your feedback?
(link to Skool group)
or do a 2- step get them to reply yes then send the Skool link . . .
This is my #1 way of getting leads in externally
Key: you must be committed to volume
if you are serious building your Skool up . . . go hard in the other socials, invite people from facebook, twitter, instagram, linkedin, to come here to get your free training
Use the main carrot a few lessons or trainings, so that community isn't necessarily the hook.
once you have some number - say 500 free members
launch your paid group, and focus on community and live coaching and involvement . .
make it great
don't make a "okay" just because it's small
You want to have an amazing program and make $10k/month?
Then make it amazing even when it has just 5 people in it
Start it at a low price, something totally irresistible -
say $9 or $19 a month
Let your free members know you are going to raise the price to $49 a month once you hit 50 members . . .
But for the first 25 members, you get in for $9 a month
and for the next 25 members, you get in for $19 a month
you could do 2 more rounds of that . .
25 more at $29
25 more at $39
Now, you have 100 members . . .
Turn it up to $49/month
Massively engage your audience
and grow from there
Hope this is helpful . . .
