I thought opening a community would be mostly about getting people in. But after the first week, I'm realizing it's much more about creating a space people actually want to return to. I'm learning that : - you don't need to fill the space with content for it to feel alive - a simple question can create more connection than a perfect crafted post - people engage at different rhythms, and that's okay And maybe the most importantly, you have to give the community enough room to become itself. I'm still learning obviously. That's probably my biggest takeaway from week one. What's something your ccommunity taught you in its first few weeks that you didn't expect?

We’ve grown plants. We’ve designed islands. Now we’re hitting the trail! 🌲🥾 Welcome to Level Up to the Ridge — our end-of-summer community challenge. Everyone starts with an empty backpack. 🎒 Drop a backpack emoji (or GIF) 🎒 below in the comments! Then help your fellow community members get ready for the climb by adding: 🥾 Boots — to build a strong foundation 🔦 Flashlight — for clarity on the path ahead ⛺ Tent — a place to regroup and recharge 💧 Water — to fuel their momentum 🪢 Rope — support so they never climb alone See someone on the trail? Reply to their backpack and add something they need for the hike. The more people you support, the more support comes back your way. And remember, every time you level up in the community, you unlock new resources, opportunities and exclusive perks. 🎒 Drop your backpack below and let’s see how many of us can make it to the ridge before summer ends! 🏔️🙌

Is it possible to offer a trial for the paid tiers in the fremium format? I know that coupons aren't an option yet... but I want to offer a month of the premium level at an event I am speaking at in September. Any tips? hacks? Work-arounds people have tried that work?
