2/ 100 True Fans by @ljin18
Massive communities are overrated. Lower retention, harder to monetize, and members don't know each other.
π€ Instead, what if you REALLY helped only 100 people for $84/mo each?
π€ 100 true fans β> $100,000/yr

4/ Cohorts are King by @wes_kao
Biggest opp to monetize communities? Cohort-based courses (CBCs)
π CBCs have +90% completion rates & command 10x higher prices. And they're the perfect shared experience for a community.
Just look at @MavenHQ
