Thanks very much. You have re-motivated me to reactivate my MN "Business [new name in 2024]" account.

[@ChadlyCreativeConsulting]

I hope you have fun! FYI - the Mighty Business plan that I used in this video has been renamed to Courses.

Thank you, Marcia. I have also just thoroughly compared the two platforms, and the ability to include several features in one space is also why I felt that Mighty has the edge for what I am trying to build. Some other reviewers felt that Circle-based communities had a cleaner layout, and that Mighty-based communities may be more confusing for older, less tech-savvy members. That does not strike me as likely. Have you yourself found that members get confused with the different tabs/features inside a space? Thanks again. Very helpful video!

[@ChadlyCreativeConsulting]

I have not seen that stand out as a problem. Any platform will be easier for some and harder for others. Not necessarily based on age/tech skill.

Hi. I'm an older MN client and can say that several (possibly many) have left for that reason. It's more work to create, manage and navigate. Also, Folks are mislead about Circle, I see in my research that the Course do include Chat (which appears in the sidebar) and attachments can also be neatly tucked away and highlighted in sidebar. FYI, I'm older but pretty tech savvy (since my first website with FrontPage LOL) Although I LOVE many features of MN, it's overwhelming to manage properly, i.e., without an assistant. Feels like the early days of InfusionSoft, i.e., fabulous features if you want to pay an assistant to manage. At present, the most attractive element of MN is the cost, i.e., if you actually need more than 20 spaces it will be $20/10 spaces. However, I'm researching and wondering if fewer spaces will make me focus more, and therefor easier for members 🤔 Best to you whatever you decide.

Thank you for the comparison. It was very helpful. Do you think Mighty Networks would be a good choice for a business that had a large number of workout videos sold as part of a membership? If so, what would be the best way to organize them in Might Networks? Thanks.

Hi Alex, I do think the platform is a good option for you to explore. To recommend how to build a Mighty Network to fit your unique needs, we would need to have a conversation about the big picture of what you are doing. That's a bigger conversation than can be done in comments. My latest video talks about different ways to share videos in a network: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6KYpoSsa5xlr8k You can read about my services and set up a free discovery call through my website: www.chadlycreativeconsulting.com/services

Hi Alex, I'm here and an MN customer and thought I'd chime in. FYI, Yoga for Adrienne has LOTS of yoga videos and she recently left MN for Ustream. I do not know here rationale. I believe the first weeks were rocky for free members, i.e., she went from a FREE MN to a paid Ustream. I don't have more info, but wanted to share thoughts on the video element of your question. Wishing you all the best.
