Get ready for a successful launch with this handy checklist.
Building a buzz-worthy community is simple with Circle
Preparing to launch your community is an exciting milestone! While you might be tempted to get everything perfect before you invite your first member, remember that you don’t need perfection to get started—as we always say at Circle, “done is better than perfect”.
Communities are always changing, always evolving—that’s what makes them so much fun! You can launch your community with as much or as little content as you like, and grow as your community grows.
As you’re thinking through the details, we’ve created a quick checklist to help you ensure that you’re set up for a successful launch.
Learn how to set up the basics:
1. Build
Customize your branding
Let your brand shine. Update your community name, custom URL, color scheme, add your brand's logo and customize your spaces.
Once you’ve set up your spaces, prime your community for engagement by creating your first posts. Posts help guide your members through your community by letting them know what each space is for, facilitating discussion or providing any additional resources your members may need—the possibilities are endless!
Once you’ve customized your branding and built out your community spaces, you can consider monetizing your community by adding paywalls.
