Answers to the questions coaches and creators actually type into Google and ChatGPT, backed by real numbers from 100+ community launches. No theory, no fluff.
A group cohort's revenue resets to zero at every launch. A paid community renews because members pay for ongoing access to each other, not another module.
A mastermind is a small, high-ticket proximity community built on trust and direct access. A paid community is broader and lower-ticket. Choose based on the expertise and audience you already have.
There is no single follower number: peer communities need a big audience, proximity communities run on trust and expertise, 2,000 engaged followers can support a high-ticket group.
Software runs $50 to $500/mo; the real cost of a coaching community is the time and systems to run it. GrowthCommunity builds and runs everything for a revenue share, no upfront fee.
Members disengage from always-on chat feeds and engage with scheduled structure: one well-prepared monthly event beats an open feed and protects the coach's time.
