Reality check
42 members is a strong launch.
This gives you real revenue, real testimonials, and a real community to build on.
Your warm leads convert at 10% — by far your highest-converting channel.
Email converts at 1.5-4% for a multi-email launch sequence. Social converts at 0.05-0.15% directly. Warm leads convert at 5-15% because they've already self-selected — price sensitivity is lower for warm leads since they already know your offer and are still interested. Some warm leads may also be on your email list — if there's significant overlap, your true total may be slightly lower. Lists above 50K subscribers tend to have lower per-person engagement, so actual conversion may be below these estimates at scale.
