Great content - should your founding members be given free membership? If so, for how long?

It depends on the cost of your membership, how much you plan to ask from them, and their own financial situation. For my community, I asked my Founding Members to pay a special lower price as a symbolic gesture of their involvement, and then I let them have lifetime access. This is a values-driven decision for me, and their active participation is worth much more than a monthly subscription fee (they make the place feel vibrant! That is priceless!). It is up to them how long they want to stay active, and I always welcome them at events and frequently tag them in posts or bring them on for more formal feedback.

And great question! Thank you!
