I never wanted a free community but can now say it's a good marketing tool for those without an audience. We sell "The Tribe Method" so we had to build our own Tribe in order to walk the talk, and it's been a beautiful way to hone our marketing and niche down to be able to sell people into our higher ticket paid community. So yes it costs an additional $100 a month to host a free community, but you can easily make that money back with offers to your audience.
