4. Getting your first few members.
Watch the video “4. Seeding your group” or read below
- All good communities start small. You only need 10 consistent contributors to have a great group. Aim for 3 people (because 3 is a great start, plus if they’re paid it unlocks the 1-day recordings).
- Because you don’t need many people to have a great group, you can be niche and specific with who your group is for. E.g. vegan mom powerlifters who love cats. The narrower the group, the more the members will value it.
Consider narrowing who your group is for
- To get your first 3 members, message everyone you have access to who may be interested in your group. Go through your Facebook friends list, Instagram follower list, contacts, and anywhere else you have access to people. Then message the ones who could be interested in your group. If you invite everyone in your contact list, you’ll get more than 3 members. Don’t be afraid, we’re just inviting people to a party! If they don’t show up, we can invite them to the next one.
Reach out to everyone you have access to who might be interested in your group
- Reminder: Don’t skip steps. If you follow every step listed here, you will make money.
