2 and 3 are excellent ideas. I think influx of more members is nice. I do wonder how that would work with telegram, it seems slack / discord are just more suitable for larger numbers of people but that might just be me.
About paying/free. Maybe you can look into a pay-once for lifetime access model.
It has the added advantage that it might keep members around after they "figured things out", as-in WIP for me is still a valuable community but it was a lot more valuable when I just joined and had not yet quit my fulltime job.
A lifetime offer is something I've been considering lately. I'm generally not a fan, as I wouldn't be as aligned with the customer (lifetime-plan products often end up over-optimizing for new sales rather than providing long-term value to customers). But to your point, it would help grow a larger community overall which has its own benefits.
Yeah agree with you on Telegram. If it becomes a problem we'd either need to push the other groups we have a bit more (maybe create cohort-specific groups in addition to the topic-based groups we already have).
I'm also considering Slack, Discord, or even creating something custom that's better optimized for WIP.
Having too many members for the chat would be a nice problem to have tho :)
Ah yes! Want to do these for sure. Like diferent themes. Marketing week where we all do marketing for one week. Hackathons where we all try and ship something by a certain date. Etc.

Maybe a monthly challenge. Ship in six days or something like that may work.

Yes, this would be so perfect! Love hackathons)
