10 Amazing Features of Circle.so - The Best Online Community Platform in 2024

[@Robuilt]

Dude this video ROCKED!! I'm torn between Circle and Skool, but Circle is just so damn beautiful. Also the fact that you can embed it kind of blows my mind. That's what I'm going to start diving into next. Thanks for the vid.

[@JoshHallco]

Well said @Robuilt! Yeah I don't have any experience with Skool but I think it'll be hard to top Circle with all the innovations they've poured into it for so many years straight. It really is the only all-in-one solution I've ever trusted and I have not regretted it. Hope this helps you get your Circle on!

[@RealKingdomTalk]

@@JoshHallco hello, can the members post photos and videos ?

[@JoshHallco]

@RealKingdomTalk yeah you can set up member spaces and discussions in a variety of ways.

[@amritsingh6987]

My Big question for Organisation is when people poast links it gets messy. So can we just make hyper links which is also good for search results too?

[@IncomeUniversity]

Hey there, we took an extensive look at LearnWorlds, Heartbeat, Skool and Circle and none of them cannot match Circles features in terms of community building, our main needs were: -Customizable Front End -Gamification -Chat capabilities -Robust API It's the only one that has all of these at the moment. And ofcourse much much more.

[@LibryiaJones1]

This video was so great! I just shared it with my team bc we are in the middle of setting up our community on the platform.

[@Marianariveraco]

Wow this video did it for me! Thank you so much I’m SOLD

[@JoshHallco]

@Marianariveraco wohoo! It keeps getting better and better. Even more sweet upgrades since posting this. If you send up signing up, if you use my affiliate link joshhall.co/circle I'll be sending some resources (maybe even hosting a live Q&A soon) for all of my Circle affiliates!

[@JanayM112]

I wanted to start a “Women Empowement Group “ This looks like a great place to start

[@tylerhurd7890]

sweet vid man. thx for your hard work

[@TomAllsopp]

How do I join your circle? How do I join any circle. I don’t get it.

[@fitfoxfamily333]

Does this platform supports vertical video format (like instagram)? I mean fully vertical , not a landscape format with black sides if you know what I mean

[@Coachwhipkey]

Thank you so much!

[@wealthwithtess]

Hey Josh! Loved this video thank you. I think based on the paywall section of the video I can do this but I'd love to know if I can have enough different membership levels where people can buy individual courses (I have 4) or just buy them all at once. If they only buy one, I want the others to be greyed out with an easy way for them to add another. I think I can do this but wanted to double check. Thank you so much Josh!

[@JoshHallco]

@wealthwithtess thank! Yeah you can set it up to have courses be purchased individually or in a subscription paywall that grants access to certain courses/spaces. Pretty darn customizable.

[@p.g.333]

Great video, thank you! What do you use for pre-sales for subscription/LP's etc?

[@JoshHallco]

I've never done a pre-sale so not sure personally. But I imagine there's a way to do some sort of pre-sale subscription offer 🤔

[@p.g.333]

@@JoshHallco an ok, I think I need a second solution for offer landing pages. Thanks again!

[@JoshHallco]

Oh I see - I misunderstood. They do have landing page options in Circle, pretty basic right now but I believe they'll be upping their game with resources on that more and more. You can create a landing page in Circle or have your own page that links to the checkout in Circle. That's my current setup.

[@MarcusRideout]

Great video, thanks man! Will watch the tutorial next. I'll sign up using your affiliate link when ready. Just in the initial researching phase. ~M

[@JoshHallco]

Appreciate it, Marcus! Circle definitely continues to get better and better. Honestly best decision I made was choosing it as my community home.

[@coachdavidpatterson]

Great Video. What camera are you using? #thanksinadvance

[@JoshHallco]

Here's an overview of my gear. It's my old office but still mostly all the same gear. Planning on doing a new tour soon! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqLJh4ONaLGSgdk

[@momworkchannel]

QQ: can you make your community free but then create a paywall for certain features like live room or coaching for instance?

[@JoshHallco]

Yep! That's one of the main benefits of Circle. You can make paid spaces for live rooms or coaching spots but other areas can be free or at different pricepoints. joshhall.co/circle to get a 14 day free trial to try it out!

[@SandroTempesta]

Hello and thank you for your video. When you have a lot of content and your students often post a lot of images, what can be done when the available storage space provided by circle runs out?

[@JoshHallco]

Thanks - as of now, you only pay for video storage (for recorded live calls) so the community content itself isn't billed!

[@SandroTempesta]

@@JoshHallco ok if I understand correctly you are telling me that user content does not consume space storage?

[@JoshHallco]

Correct!

[@ThomasHughes-kq4tf]

Great video for Circle! What level are you using for your group?

[@JoshHallco]

ThanksI just recently upgraded to the Enterprise Plan because of the amount of spaces I have and video storage we need.

[@bierzudir6713]

what can i use to build such a community as mobile app?

[@JoshHallco]

Circle has IOS and Android app included for your community!

[@thebossgoat115]

We're about to launch a group coaching community for our client who's a relationship coach, would you recommend going with circle than skool? (the group coaching, we'd close people for that on actual sales calls)

[@JoshHallco]

@the.abdurrauf I don't have any personal experience with Skool so I'd weigh the differences but from what I know, Circle is waaaay more robust and further along with all the things you can do with any form of coaching. It's pretty wild what you can do and customize with Circle.

[@Irving-uk6zi]

Hi I have a question regarding your membership, it says one on one coaching call with you. Can you provide details about this?

[@JoshHallco]

@Irving-uk6zi I currently offer a 1:1 50 minute coaching call for members of my community who choose the annual plan. That's the only option for a one on one currently as I'm not doing any outside consulting at the moment. But you're welcome to drop some questions here and I'll try my best to get to them!

[@Irving-uk6zi]

@@JoshHallco is the 1 on 1 monthly or only once per year?

[@suchetamahapatra1515]

How many communities can you run in parallel (at a time) on circle?

[@JoshHallco]

You'd have to get a new plan for each Circle community you have as each of them would have different space/functionality needs, video storage, automations and their own set of needs. They'd be their own separate membership sites. But you could have one on a $49/mo plan, one on a $99/mo plan, etc. They do have custom plans so that might be an option to have several communities in bulk but I'm not sure.

[@FaustineVinceLPO]

I love Circle but the live stream is too delayed.

[@ab19jz2kh]

Thanks

[@tomlelyo9557]

How To Members host live streams? I thought only admins could do this

[@JoshHallco]

You can add any member as a host for a meeting or webinar style call!

[@tincan77]

Where is circle on ESG mandates?

[@JoshHallco]

@tincan77 I'd check with them directly for more info but you can check out: app.circle.so/eu-privacy
