One way to know what your audience wants is to create a community. While there are free tools like Facebook, you don't own your community in Facebook. I once was banned from my own Facebook groups for letting them know group coaching was starting in 5 minutes. It took WEEKS to regain access (Facebook is now known for their awesome customer service).
When I discovered Heartbeat I was really impressed. I have spoken about Circle in the past, and this was like Circle only less Expensive.
You can have a community with threads and charts. I tied my heartbeat into Zoom for group coaching so people can see the schedule and join right from within the app. There is a water cooler where people can connect via audio to chat. You can have the system match up your members for further networking. You can create a library of resources. You can have free parts of your community or charge for access.
It really does everything. You can sell tickets to events. You can even have it suggest topics for events. The course tool is robust and easy to you.
Pricing starts at $49 a month, but here is one thing that makes them stand out: there are zero processing fees. There are stipe fees, but other platforms take a percentage in addition to the credit card processing.
One last point is it integrates with Zapier so if you want to connect your members to email lists, and more, its a few simple clicks.
