Perfect timing - been getting ready to implement community aspects into my course after multiple student requests! Thanks for this, and hope you're doing wonderfully this year, Melissa.
This tutorial was really helpful! I would've been interested to know how it compares to Kajabi as well but I will look through your other videos for more Kajabi related stuff. 🥰
Glad it was helpful! Melissa speaks about Kajabi communities at 13:25 in this video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-n6FtBuvSA7s.html Hope that helps! Team Wit & Wire
Great tutorial! Did you move your courses to Circle or are you still with Teachable? I’d love to hear what you use for all the various aspects of your online business.
Thanks for sharing this content, Melissa. Your tutorials and walk throughs have been really helpful for me in narrowing down a sea of tech options that will help me manage my business offerings. I appreciate how clear, approachable and useful your videos have been!
This Circle tutorial was fantastic and thorough. Very well done, Melissa! Circle is something I am familiar with as a user/member, but I have been interested in how to set up a Circle community. Thank you for sharing this.
Really helpful, thank you!! Do you have any tips/ideas on how to organize bookings for paid 1:1 coaching on Circle? Any recommendations? I know that feature is not available yet
Great question. As you already found, it’s not something Circle currently offers, so I’m not sure it’s something I would deliver via their platform. You might be able to use their Paywalls to collect payments, but that’s the most I think you’d be able to do without needing another platform to collect payments, deliver the service, or both. As an alternate, depending on what you’re looking for big picture, you might check out Stan: witandwire.com/stan
This video was great!! I was able to start setting up my community but I do have a question.... How would I create some sort of landing page for new members? My community is private but I would like to have a link I can post on social media that will take potential new members to a sign up page. I've been having a hard time with how to set up something like this.
Glad you found it helpful! Good question- here's a support article that goes into detail on creating landing pages on Circle: community.circle.so/c/showandtell/how-to-create-a-landing-page-on-circle-and-convert-members Hope it helps! -Team Wit & Wire
Thank you, Melissa. I am planning an online event for December, 2024. From the event I hope to attract participants to my free online community that will make available subscriptions to paid spaces. Can multiple subspaces be created for different themes from a free community space? How do people access the event? With Zoom, you make available a link. How do I send people to the event (sign up) from the ads in Circle? Is there a feature to help putting the back-end together? Thank you.
Good question! But this technical question is a bit more in-depth than I can answer well via RU-vid. I do provide this level of support and help via Wit & Wire’s programs, but there’s no pressure to join. (You can learn more via witandwire.com/courses.)
Great tutorial! Q: We have events that are free to members but paid for outsiders. Can Circle accommodate this structure? I want to make sure that external people can only see and attend the events, but also see discussion threads and courses behind a paywall. Thanks!
Yes, great question. It’s possible to have some Groups or individual Spaces that are available to free members (or even the public without a login) while others are just for paid members. So it should be possible.
Hi Melissa, this is an outstanding video, as all of your videos that I've seen are. It looks like Circle might be an ideal tool for the platform I want to create, which will involve several online courses and an ongoing support community. My question: does Circle allow me to offer different plans and revenue models, all under the same umbrella? For example, I want to charge one-time fees for each of the courses, but I want to use the subscription model for the ongoing support plan. I'd like to offer all of the components "a la carte" to each customer via the same platform, e.g. Circle.
Thank you! I’m so glad to hear that my videos have been helpful, and great question. Yes, you can create different price structures within one Circle community. For example, as you said, you can create Paywalls for a la carte one-time pricing, and also have Paywalls for recurring memberships with various personalized access levels. I hope that helps!
@@witandwire sorry that was really unclear 🫣. I meant : in a classic online course platform the owner of one course can see a page with all the courses available to him from that same creator on the site and can then buy additional courses from within the course site. Can you do that in circle. In some plateforme you can even advertise for other course within the lesson (this is what I meant by crossel). Sorry I m not a native speaker
I believe the answer is no, there isn’t a cross-sell feature as you’re describing. But if you’d like a more specific answer, I’d recommend reaching out to Circle’s support team.
Good question. If Stripe is not available in your country, consider using a payment provider integrated with Zapier on the Professional plan or above. You may be able to find more support here help.circle.so/
Circle integrates with Stripe Tax to collect and calculate taxes. However, you must file and remit taxes yourself. I would recommend looking up a support article on Circle such as this one: help.circle.so/p/payments/taxes
I'm not sure I fully understand your question. Students submit assignments via the course dashboard and then admin can view and grade submissions. Admin can direct message students as well. Team Wit & Wire
Great question! Currently, you can accept payments via credit card by connecting to Stripe. (PayPal isn’t currently an option if you use Circle’s checkout page directly.)
Great question! We have a full video comparison between our top favorite course-building platforms (which includes Circle & Teachable) here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eTzGAIzP3sc.html Plus, we'd recommend downloading our free Course Creation Toolkit with a side-by-side comparison of top course creation platforms here: witandwire.com/download-course-creation-toolkit/ We hope this helps, Team Wit & Wire ✨
Good question! Yes, it would and there are 6 different types of spaces you can create. You can check out the spaces overview here: help.circle.so/p/basics/spaces/spaces-overview
Great question. Since Circle’s paywalls are powered by Stripe, it will depend on your Stripe settings. You can learn more here: support.stripe.com/questions/understanding-daily-automatic-and-manual-payouts
