Mens Transformational Coach at Wakeup LLC (1-10 employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have a mens community and using it to sell membership and courses. I was thinking about starting FB group but then noticed that it is to busy on there and to many distractions. Creating a community on Circle Community Platform gives people the focus on a specific topic and community. Allowing them to go deeper in the work.

Pros

  • Community Engagement, connection and communication
  • Courses
  • Payments
  • Channels/Spaces to specific topics and conversations

Cons

  • Video Space or Channel like YouTube
  • Giving more options for embed
  • Allowing documents and pdfs to open on mobile app in app versus needing to be downloaded on mobile first before viewing

Return on Investment

  • $500 a month, instead of needing several different platforms to do the things I need, Circle does most of them.
