Truthfully, you’ve covered the features pretty exceptionally. And I actually set mine up pretty easily based on this video! What I’d love for you to dive deeper into (and granted I understand this is niche) is more theory around pay walls and all the grouping you started to scratch the surface on. That’s where I’m struggling at the moment. For reference, I’ve got 2800 students in my high ticket program. But I’m looking to move to a membership model and out of high ticket!
Ah nice! Yeah currently my community Web Designer Pro™ is one tier BUT I'm in the planning stage of moving to a 2 or 3 tier model once we hit the member cap on my coaching tier. The paywalls in Circle are pretty robust and it's amazing how you can gate spaces and use them as upsells. Once I nail down the next version of my community with the paywall tiers, I'll plan to unpack what I learn on that 👍
You can upgrade storage options for live streams or rooms that are hosted in Circle and for attachments or other uploads. It's very fair pricing for total storage!
You can create events and link it to Streamyard, YT or any streaming channel but it'll just redirect to your stream. Circle's live stream is the native, in browser option.
When do they add their CC? For example, you send the invite, they join, but I don't see where/when they enter their CC to be charged once the trial is over.
@@JoshHallco Thanks Josh. This is what I figured, but I've tested this and someone can still access the community even w/o a CC. They were on trial and last saturday, received an email to add a card. They never did yet can still access the community. I'll try support. Thanks.
Hi Josh, thank you very much for this extensive tutorial. How would you set up your community, if you had a space that is for free, to warm up people and then upsell them to a paid membership with more features, content and community? I would appreciate your experience. Thanks from Germany. Elle
ooo good question, Elle. I would have either a starter course, newsletter, recent Q&A's or something of value that leads well into a paid offer. For me I have this UA-cam Channel, my Podcast and my Newsletter which are the big drivers (all free) so I don't have a free tier in my community. But it's a great way to go if you want to prime them. Though, I'd consider making an entry level and capping the "free" aspect as a trial. Maybe 30 days free then $29/mo for example on a low tier. Otherwise you'll run the risk of having a HUGE group of free folks mixed in with paid members. So in short: Low tier (with free trial) Higher tier Or have a free group separate if needed.
@@JoshHallco Thanks for your answer! Could I possible have a part of the community open for everyone? E.g. something like a space with blog posts? Or do they have to become a member for this as well?
Can't believe I watched the entire 1 hour video... and you never covered the right side bar.. and how you can configure that to display what you want there. Don't get me wrong... it was a good video and you are a gifted presenter... but some still struggle with the basics. Any chance you can make a short video on that?
There's definitely a LOT more I could've added but had to reel in the most important aspects since this is a beginner tutorial. In any space you create, you can "pin" or set posts to the sidebard if that's what you're looking for. Otherwise the home screen will show the trending posts and events 🔥 Hope that helps. And thanks for watching all the way through!
wanted to like Circle and it was my first choice for setting up a new community, but after wasting 3 hours trying to set up a course ....I would not recommend this to anyone... I've done UI and UX for years and this was so frustrating...the way lessons are structured and the hierarchy is so counter-intuitive... I wanted to give them business, but it's a shit-show...it seemed so prefect in the reviews but they're probably all bought off...
mmm well I suppose not everything is for everybody because -- no surprise here -- I couldn't agree less. My personal feeling (having used Circle for over 4 years_ is that it has incredible UX & UI, the course builder is literally the EASIEST one I've ever used (and I've used them all) and it's actually the most intuitive membership platform I've ever used. We better check this profile to make sure it's not attached to another membership platform, ay?
This tutorial is PURE GOLD. Thank you, Josh.
Glad it helped! Hope it gave you a good roadmap to follow for creating a Circle community. The new 3.0 features they just added are 🔥
Thanks for that Josh!
This was one hour of absolute gold. Please tell me there will be a part 2?! PLEASE.
@Robuilt what other features do you want to see?

@@JoshHallco I’d also love to see this video, thanks Josh!
@@JoshHallco defintely interested in this too
Just getting started...super helpful! Thank you!
Thank you, this was great
Ctrl + Cmd + Space bar.... FINALLY! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Right?!? I was so pumped to learn that one.
This was very helpful. Thanks!
Thank you for the video. It has helped me a lot.
Thanks Josh, quick question: my business consists also in uploading a large amount of videos. What happens if I run out of storage space?
You can upgrade storage options for live streams or rooms that are hosted in Circle and for attachments or other uploads. It's very fair pricing for total storage!
Great stuff, just what I've been looking for
Excellent!!!!
When you set up your courses are you linking the video to a youtube unlisted link?
You can do that. I use Vimeo but you can also upload course videos directly to Circle if you prefer native hosting.
is it french also?
THANK YOU!
How can you use streamyard with circle?
You can create events and link it to Streamyard, YT or any streaming channel but it'll just redirect to your stream. Circle's live stream is the native, in browser option.
@ thank you very much your videos are extremely helpful!!
@@JoshHallco It's not giving me the option for SY, I just see zoom, or YT
When do they add their CC? For example, you send the invite, they join, but I don't see where/when they enter their CC to be charged once the trial is over.
You can set it to require cc or not. If not for a trial, then they'll be prompted to enter their CC when their trial expires.
@@JoshHallco Thanks Josh. This is what I figured, but I've tested this and someone can still access the community even w/o a CC. They were on trial and last saturday, received an email to add a card. They never did yet can still access the community. I'll try support. Thanks.

Yep you can have a combo of free spaces + premium spaces.
