I send a monthly PDF to my members and open rates are dropping. I've been calling it a test and it's not working. Considering moving the whole thing into a Slack channel or a Notion page, but I don…
I tested publishing a single starting price on our site for two weeks. I thought it would filter leads. It did the opposite — fewer inquiries, but the calls were sharper. Still not sure if the drop…
I'm a solo community manager for a nonprofit membership with commercial education programmes, and I've been the only person who can set up a new member properly. It's the thing that eats my week an…
