Over the last couple of weeks, I've been having some really interesting conversations with women inside our VIP communities. Here are five worth sharing. 1. "How do I get more engagement in my community?" Stop designing onboarding around engagement. Start with your Premium offer and work backwards. Give members meaningful steps, quick wins and reasons to keep moving forward. Engagement should be the result. Not the goal. 2. "Should I switch from paid back to freemium?" Or vice versa. Not so fast. I see community owners changing their business models every 30 days without giving anything enough time to work. Your audience is often 3–6 months behind your decisions. Before you pivot again, look at your traffic, conversion and retention. Sometimes you don't need a new model. You need better data. 3. "Why aren't people joining my community?" Your About page might be the problem. We spent time reviewing thumbnails, messaging and positioning. Your audience needs to know three things immediately: Who is this for? What outcome will I get? Why should I trust you? Stop selling the classroom. Start selling the transformation. 4. "What should I focus on in my first 30 days?" Traffic. Conversations. Research. Not building 25 classroom modules. Get people into your community. Ask questions. Run polls. Start conversations in the DMs. Find out what people actually need before you spend weeks creating something they might never use. 5. "Should I be selling Premium or VIP?" My approach? I sell VIP. Premium is there for people who want a lower monthly commitment. But I focus my messaging on one core offer. Annual memberships give me upfront cash flow, more time to work with members and fewer competing offers to explain. More offers don't necessarily mean more revenue. Sometimes they just create more confusion. Here's what I'm noticing across all five conversations. ➡️ Most women don't need another course, another offer or another business model. They need to simplify what they're doing, get clearer on their messaging and spend more time talking to potential customers.
