Communities - Creating A Community

Communities (Referred To As "Circles" Inside The Platform) are group spaces you can create within your website or funnel, that center around a specific type of content or product. You can use a Circle to house a course, create a roadmap, or simply create a place for members to connect - the structure is entirely up to you. Some Circles might include a mix of content and discussion, while others might focus purely on one or the other.

Circles utilize the same builder you use for your websites and funnels, which means you can include videos, text, images, forms and any other widget you might need. This flexibility gives you full control over the layout of each Circle page, allowing you to create highly customized areas.

Circles can be created by going to Community > Circles, and clicking on the “Add Circle” button.

A “Create Your First Circle” button will also be available if no Circles have been created yet.

Once you begin, you’ll be prompted to select a template. After choosing one, you’ll be taken directly to the builder, where you can start customizing the structure and content of the Circle.

By default, all newly created Circles are unpublished. You can adjust their visibility manually once you're ready to make them accessible to your audience. This can be done from one of two places:

1) Inside the Circle (once you've selected a template)

2) By clicking the Circles button inside the Community Tab, then clicking the Gear Icon on the Circle you are looking to publish.

Each Circle contains its own set of pages, and those pages can be organized into Page Groups. This gives you the ability to present content in a clear, modular way, especially when working with larger or more complex formats.

A Page Group is essentially a folder of individual pages displayed together under one section. This is ideal for structured learning environments, segmented resources, or any use case where related content needs to be broken down across multiple pages. For example, a "Course" page group might include separate pages for each video lesson.

On the other hand, a single page within a Circle stands on its own and can be used for simpler content. A "Discussion Board" for instance, is typically just one page that you’ve added the Discussion widget to, where members can post and interact.

Access levels determine who can see and interact with the content inside a Circle. They give you granular control over visibility, allowing you to shape your community based on your goals.

When setting up a Circle, you’re able to choose one of the following access levels:

In addition to setting access at the Circle level, you can also control the visibility of every page and page group within a Circle. This adds an extra layer of flexibility, especially when your Circle includes a mix of free and restricted content.

Pages and page groups use the same access levels available at the Circle level, with one additional option:

Each page and page group inside a Circle can have its own Content Availability settings, allowing you to control when specific content becomes visible to members. This helps structure your Circle progressively, guide members through content in a controlled order, or align releases with specific dates.

There are four availability options:

A Circle member is a registered member who has accessed or interacted with content inside a Circle. For example, if a member enters a Circle, marks content as completed, comments or reacts to a comment, participates in a discussion or creates a post on a wall, they’ll automatically appear under Community > Members.

It’s important to understand that Circle members are not a separate type of member - they are regular members of your website or funnel. The only difference is that they’ve interacted with Circle content. If someone isn’t a member yet, they’ll be prompted to register the moment interaction is required (for example, if access to the Circle is restricted, or they try to leave a comment or track progress). Once they register, they’re added to your default member group and counted as a Circle member as well. The only case in which a Circle member is not created, is when the Circle’s access level is set to “Open”, the “Enrollment Required” option is disabled, and the visitor has not interacted with any content - such visitors are considered anonymous.

In short, Circle members are just a filtered list of all members, showing only those who have activity tied to your Circles.

The Analytics area of a Circle is divided into three tabs - Members, Analytics, and Content, each providing different information about member activity and performance.

This tab displays a list of all members who have engaged with the Circle. This includes anyone who has enrolled, interacted (e.g. liked a comment or completed a module), or otherwise accessed the Circle’s content based on its access settings. It’s essentially a filtered view of your broader Circle Members list, showing only those active within this specific Circle.

This tab provides an overview of key metrics such as:

These are visualized over time in the Members and Revenue graph, helping you track trends in both free and paid engagement. You can filter the data by date range for a more granular analysis.

Here, you’ll find a breakdown of tracked content performance inside the Circle. For each piece of content (page or page group), the following data is displayed:

If the Circle contains paid content, it will appear in a separate section with the same structure, allowing you to evaluate how your monetized material is performing.
​

Every page and page group within the Circle also includes its own analytics section, accessible individually. This allows for granular insight into how members are engaging with specific content, including progress, completion, and member visibility on a per-page basis. It's especially useful for identifying which parts of your Circle are most effective or may need adjustment.
