When to add a Community?
I am just starting off with the Pro Plan. Two questions:
1. When to add a community to the whole business? Should I do it from the start or wait for some time. It feels overwhelming thinking about having a community with no content on it.
2. Facebook Group or Buddyboss like this? -

Great questions Emily. I am sure this will be on the minds of many members here.
Here’s my opinion.When you are starting off, don’t get into Community right off the bat. You do not want extra work on the table when you have so much to do at the outset. Get to 50 paying clients without having a community. You do not even need a FB Group for the first 50 clients. Tell them you give support via email and 1-1 15 min calls for the first 3 months.
Once you get to that level, you can consider setting up a community. FB Group seems convenient at the start, but remember it is never yours. There is a lot of distraction on FB and you cannot use an FB group as a differentiator anymore. Most probably your competitors are doing the same too.
Which is why I strongly recommend Buddyboss. It will integrate with your main website. It looks gorgeous and your learners/clients will be impressed. You can control information, protect learners, add Gamification and promote your next level products pesonalized to each member.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Shriram for the prompt answer.
BBoss sure looks great. But as you said, let me get the first 50 clients. And not rush into doing too much.
