Free community groups in FEA Create are a lovely way to bring people together and grow your audience. You can use them to create a space where people can interact, share, and connect with your content without needing to purchase anything.
Step 1: Create a Community Group
Log in to your FEA Create dashboard and go to Memberships then Communities. Click into Groups and create a new one, or open an existing group if you’ve already made one.
Step 2: Create and Set Up Your Free Group
When you create your community group, you can customise it by adding a name, description, and setting the subscription as free. This means people can join without needing to buy anything. You can also add channels or discussion areas to make your group inviting and easy to use.
Step 3: Get the Group Link
Go to the Discussion area of the group. Copy the link from the address bar at the top of your browser. This is the link you’ll use to invite people to join your group.
Step 4: Share the Group Link
You can share your group link in lots of different places:
Instagram: Add the link to your bio or use it in a story.
Email campaigns: Invite people to join your free community.
Website or funnel: Add a button or link so people can easily sign up.
Step 5: What Happens When Someone Clicks the Link?
When someone clicks the group link, they’ll be taken to a sign-up screen where they can create an account. They’ll enter their name, email, and a password. You can customise this page by updating your Client Portal settings.
Step 6: How Users Access the Group
After registering, they’ll be taken straight into your community group. They’ll only have access to this specific group, not to your courses, affiliate area, or other parts of your site.
Step 7: How Users Interact
Inside the group, people can join in conversations, reply to posts, create their own posts, and take part in events. It’s a great way for people to get to know you and your work.
Important Notes About Automation
At the moment, there is no automation trigger when someone signs up to a free community group. You won’t be able to use workflows to add tags or send emails based on their sign-up. However, their name and email will still be added to your Contacts area in FEA Create.
Free community groups are a lovely way to build connection and trust. They’re perfect for welcoming new people into your world and starting that relationship without needing them to buy anything first.
