SKOOL vs. Circle… Why Nobody is Talking About This

[@SamuraiMatcha]

Great advice! Thank you! Arigato-💌

[@ShuaibTimimi]

Circle everyday. Skool is good but the distraction of other communities is too much.

[@Skywhitemarketingagency]

That's true Sincerely it would really affect

[@MarleyJaxx]

Circle is legit!

[@saraswatishaktimayi]

Great presentation! In your opinion would circle be suitable for a membership community focused on video content/video libraries and less on postings?

[@zephyrkhambatta]

Wait. You spend sleepless nights over your work? Wow. We’re similar. Thanks for letting me know I’m not the only one. ❤️

[@MarleyJaxx]

@@zephyrkhambatta you are DEFINITELY not alone 😅

[@Duhpedroso]

I picked Circle without a doubt. I wanted a platform that could support my community in it's early days and also when it starts to be a real business. Workflows and APIs are the way to automate most of the manual tasks and actually spend time running the community and bringing engagement and members

[@MarleyJaxx]

@@Duhpedroso I love their workflows, it’s been so great for retention

[@TheAllisonGaddy]

Amazing video my friend!! I just looked up Circle vs Skool and here you are 🎉 yes, this question has been on my mind for sure!

[@MarleyJaxx]

Hello my friend!!!

[@NoTaxReturnMortgages]

Excellent comparison. If someone is starting from scratch what "community builder" tactics do you recommend? Thank you!!

[@lexyh-p8r]

I spent many sleepless nights on this one as well and agree with the comments above on being afraid of the distractions the members will get. Now, Circle workflows is available only from the 219$ per month plan upwards but even the 99$ one beats Skool.

[@MarleyJaxx]

Glad you like circle too!!

[@coachsubkhi]

Thankyou. Now i know what i must to choose! Circle.

[@phyllissong]

This is a great breakdown of Circle vs. School! I'm really interested in Circle's gamification features and how they can drive engagement and retention within a community.

[@MarleyJaxx]

@@phyllissong it’s been so fun to implement in our communities!

[@JessEAllenMusic]

Wow this is great thank you for breaking this down!! Do you know about the sound quality for musicians on the live events section?

[@MarleyJaxx]

It has been good from my experience, not that I’m playing music though!

[@brianfitzpatrickwriter]

Where do these fit in/work with your Stan Store? How does Stan’s Course creation stack up against Circle & Skool?

[@MarleyJaxx]

@@brianfitzpatrickwriter I am not familiar with Stan store but from a quick google search it looks like a link in bio platform? My initial thought is you could use Stan or other funnel platforms that sell the membership which could be hosted in circle

[@wendyvarnerdesigns]

I would like to know this too

[@digitalplrtemplates]

Stan is waste of time … I don’t use SKOOL , $99 for One community is Criminal. I use a new software called Communi , One time payment with gamification

[@christinezaroura]

Say no more, fam

[@MarleyJaxx]

@@christinezaroura woo!! So glad!

[@AlishaConlinHurd]

YAS thank you 😇

[@MarleyJaxx]

Hayyyyy!! 🎉🙌🏼

[@Crystalninja]

Thanks for this video- Can Circle sell a product? I have a Vip membership and Top Tier gets a kit mailed each month. It is cumbersome to ship the kits outside the platform.

[@AshleyPaquinOffical]

yes it can

[@MarleyJaxx]

If you sell a physical product just make sure you have the capacity to package and ship things, and enough profit left over that it's worth it. If you are mailing something, do you need to pay for items up front to have in your inventory? that might eat away at profit too

[@Crystalninja]

@@MarleyJaxx Is there a 3rd party app to make it all work on Circle? I have had an e-commerce site for many years and we handle thousands of orders. Looking to only have Kits for our circle platform.

[@Crystalninja]

@@AshleyPaquinOffical Can you please link a tutorial or way to connect products please?

[@Crystalninja]

@@MarleyJaxx Oh yes, I have had ecom site for nearly 20yrs. All inventory is tracked and profit is the goal ;)

[@wendyvarnerdesigns]

I’m wondering what Circles affiliate program looks like 🤔

[@MarleyJaxx]

It’s a one time flat rate for referrals, which is alright! circle.so/affiliate-program

[@KaiGuyGD]

One time 💀

[@wendyvarnerdesigns]

@@KaiGuyGD yeah that’s not good 👎🏼

[@Peakpareto]

It's not designed as an affiliate program, it's designed to be a good program, honestly I think that's skools downfall, they're so obsessed with getting people in that they're failing to just work on the product, an it means, since people are taking a 40% cut, that they have to have this high pricing of $99 Per Community. Personally, I think it's better this way because then people aren't trying to shove a product down your throat that you don't want (Which happens with skool due to the incentive for affiliates).

[@Skywhitemarketingagency]

That's true

[@MarleyJaxx]

Yep!!!

[@Skywhitemarketingagency]

Did you just do a duhh when referring to a standard community 😂😂

[@MarleyJaxx]

Haha!!
