um then that's the kind of foundation and then it's that there's like tons of like techniques and but ultimately the most important thing is make sure um you're building connections between other people it's not like a newsletter like an audience you need to make sure you're naturally building those connections and it scales beyond just you having to introduce people

Yeah, I wouldn't say I'm charging too little.

I think we probably charge on the slightly higher end of like kind of bootstrapper based communities that I've seen.

But the reason we do that is like we can just offer a much better service for that.

Like as you touch on with like country clubs, not saying we're trying to be like that, but I just think we can offer people a lot more and also make it a lot more sustainable if we charge a bit more money.

Originally, I never planned on charging for community.

I used to think I would never do that, but I realized I can just offer a far better service if we do that.

And it's not like way more than everyone else.

It's just like a bit more.

And it means like, I think people know we're going to be around like, I think quite a long time.

No, people don't come every weekend.

I wouldn't say it's that consistent.

You probably get on average, because you've got to remember, it's also split across two different time zones as well.

I'd say on average, each member attends two a month out of obviously four or five a month, basically.

um but it depends people people sometimes go in cycles like sometimes they'll do like three in a row then you won't see them for like a month or some people might just do it consistently every other um every other week or something like that do people do you see really high sticky rates do people churn frequently um no the churn rate in the last three months is about three percent um it's pretty low per month or over the full three months

Actually, you know what?

I don't think it is that high.

I think it's because we've, you know,

From the original community in London, we already had a really strong group of people that knew each other.

And I think when people join, they can just feel that.
