Whether you’re looking to set up free or paid groups, this guide will walk you through every step of the process. So, grab a coffee, sit back, and let’s elevate your community game!
Understanding Communities
Before we dive into the nitty-gritty, let’s talk a bit about what communities are and why they matter. Communities are interactive and centralized platforms where members can connect, engage, and share knowledge within groups. Think of them like a virtual school or Mighty Networks, but now you can build these dynamic spaces within High Level!
Creating a Group in High Level
Step 1: Set Up Your Group
To start, log into High Level and navigate to the Memberships section. Once there, click on Groups inside Communities. Now, it’s time to create your group by hitting the Create Group button.
You’ll need to name your group and enter a brief description. This is your chance to make a great first impression, so choose a name and description that truly reflect the purpose of your community. Next, customize the appearance by changing colors, and uploading your FAB icon, cover image, and logo. Once everything looks perfect, click Create Group.
Voila! You’ll now see a preview of your group, where you can view members and posts. For additional customization, click the settings wheel in the top right corner to adjust the group name, URL, description, and privacy settings.
Step 2: Manage Subscriptions and Branding
Here comes the exciting part – managing your subscriptions! Decide whether you want your group to be free or paid. If you opt for a paid group, set the price and choose between a recurring or one-time fee. You can also define the trial period and billing cycle, and toggle test mode on or off.
Branding is crucial for creating a cohesive and professional look. You can add promotional links and ask membership questions to gather important information from your members. Remember to click Save to apply all your changes.
Step 3: Set Up a Custom Domain
To give your community a unique identity, set up a custom domain. Go back to your Community page and click on Settings. Here, you can choose between an unbranded subdomain or a custom domain. For the custom domain, you’ll need to enter your domain host records. Once done, input your custom domain, update the records, and click Update Domain.
Testing Your Group
Step 4: Test, Test, Test!
Testing is a crucial step to ensure everything works seamlessly. Copy the link to your clipboard and paste it into a new tab. For an accurate test, either sign out or use an incognito window. Create a new account to log in and experience your group as a new member would.
Managing your group members is straightforward. Navigate to the People section to view membership requests, approve or reject new members, and even invite people to join your community.
Managing Membership Requests
High Level makes it easy to keep track of who’s in your group. You can approve or reject membership requests and invite people directly from the People section. This feature ensures you maintain a high-quality, engaged community.
Conclusion
I hope this guide helps you set up and manage groups and communities within High Level. With these tools at your disposal, you can create interactive and engaging spaces for your members to connect and grow.
