![]() ![]() Lets take a look at the pros and cons of both. So, creating some sort of community is kind of a no brainer in my eyes.īut should you use an on-site forum or a Facebook group? ![]() It’s clear that community is often the key to a successful membership site, especially if your members can cancel any time. I don’t tend to talk too much in that group, but I find the posts interesting and am always picking up useful snippets – the knowledge in that group alone is worth the membership fee, never mind their actual membership content. Similarly, I’m also a member of Digital Marketer which operates a Facebook Group for its members. I’ve made some great connections there, had some interesting discussions and it’s something I’m happy to pay to stay connected with. I have to admit something here though, a lot of these communities I’ve never actually consumed all the content that goes along with them.įor example I’ve been a member of Fizzle for over 2 years now, and I keep paying my membership because, whilst I don’t often go through the courses they have on offer, I like jumping into the forum when I have a spare minute. I spend quite a bit of time in these communities, and whilst some I can go days without checking in with, others I (almost obsessively) log in to every day at least once. They’re a great way of communicating with people in a similar space to you and feeling connected in this big wide world. I’m a member of several forums and more Facebook groups than I should probably admit to – some for paid products and memberships, others completely free. Now, I’m an introvert through and through but I do love a good online community. I’m guessing you probably belong to at least one of these already! There’s a variety of ways that you could create a community for your membership site or course, but the two most common are without doubt on-site forums and Facebook groups. We’ve talked before on the blog about the value of having a community in order keep your members engaged and also to provide support, networking and encouragement.Īs you may have heard, people often join for the product but stay for the community (or something like that!). ![]()
