📈 SalesA premium community: Sales for people who want results, not another feed
Interest in the Sales community is significant, with the top search term "cold calling" attracting 10,000 monthly searches in the US and 35,000 worldwide. However, pricing in this category is mostly unpublished, as only 2 of the 18 indexed communities disclose a monthly price, with a median of $182. This indicates a unique opportunity for you, as anyone who states a price plainly stands out. Your proposed format of content, live sessions, and discussion, combined with your ability to dedicate 5 to 15 hours per week, positions you well to engage a slice of your existing audience in this under-explored space.

14,450 searches a month across these terms. Ranking difficulty 18/100, unusually soft for a topic this size. Search volume measures interest in the subject, not willingness to pay for a community about it. Treat it as the size of the room, not the size of the business.
The gap: Pricing here is mostly unpublished: 2 of 18 Sales communities show a monthly price, and 0 of those 2 are free or under $25 a month. Anyone who states a price plainly is already unusual.

Because spaces let you mix formats under one roof, and owning the brand end to end supports premium positioning.
Because text, video and audio sit in one space there, and video-first trust is what earns a premium price, plus it runs under your own brand.
