HANDS DOWN BEST REVIEW VID EVER! All the other vids out there just show a tutorial on how to setup only up to the sales page, but not what it looks like INSIDE as a customer. THANK YOU!
Right that’s where I’m stuck, the back end.
fantastic review! I'm currently on MN and was considering migrating to Kajabi. You've helped me clarity why I joined MN in the first place!
Amazing Lisa! Was just researching this after joining for my own community and so nice to see your face pop up! Hope all is well with you x
Hi Clare!! So nice to see you on the channel - hope you're doing well and happy to hear from you despite my super late response. XO Lisa
Thank you for this content! This is exactly what I'm looking for to create a paid membership site to offer live event and webinars where we can interact with our community. I'm so excited to get started!
Ohhh nice! So glad to hear that! XO Lisa
Yes, Lisa! I asked the Universe for a better way and here you popped up! Blessings 🥰🥰🥰

Amazing Amazing Amazing!!!🥳 thank you so much for this explanation.🤗 helps a lot!!!
Hey thanks a lot. Very simple and great comparison. Stay blessed.
Thank you!! A fabulous review!!!
Hi Leticia: Awesome - so glad to hear that! XO Lisa
This video was awesome!! Thank you
Hi Daleana: Awesome - so glad to hear that! XO Lisa
This was sooo helpful! Thank you.
Awesome - so glad to hear that! XO Lisa
Thanks, this is awesome!!
Wow - I LOVE your CZcams Channel name. Awesome ! XO Lisa
Very helpful, thank you very much for this video.
Awesome - so glad to hear that! XO Lisa
very comprehensive...thank you
Awesome - glad to hear that! XO Lisa
I appreciate your videos.
I was going to go with MN and then something said, just do more comparison research. Found your video, read the reviews, and made my decision. Thanks! I'll let the video play thru anyways lol ;-)
Hi there: I'm dying to know - what did you end up going with?!!! Tell us! XO Lisa
Great video! I do feel MM is so underrated. I started an account but am looking to go "pro" with my membership vs just having a FB private group and restart it again. I was on the fence about it but I feel like its worth the investment. Thanks again!
Hi Ozeal: That's awesome - I hope it's been working out for you! XO Lisa
Great review!! Thank you. So glad I found you. Can you have different membership costs inside Mighty networks?
Hi Penny: Yes, you can! You can create different groups just like Patreon with different prices and access. XO Lisa
THANK YOU 🙏🏼 for making this video! There are sooo many platforms and it's making me dizzy. All in one is appealing, but still kinda feels meh. Also Kajabi seems quite expensive.
One thing I need though is Affiliate links for people that refer to me. How do/would you solve for that?
me too :)
Great video!
Would love to hear your opinion on Tribe and Circle - any experience with those platforms?
Hi Robert: So I think they're good but they're so small and don't have a lot of momentum which worries me that they don't have enough revenue coming in to create a good support infrastructure for tech issues and upgrades and improvements. So I'd say pass unless their platform has some amazing feature you just can't live without. It's the same reason I skipped Member Vault. I really liked it and their leaderboard but at the end of the day, I just think they're too small. XO Lisa
Wow, that MN looks awesome! I've been going back and forth between several trying to figure it all out and was about set to do a Facebook group. I'm so glad I saw your video before I did the facebook group! Your video REALLY helped. Just curious, it looked like the 2 networks you visited had the same peach color palette. Do they allow you to apply your own branding? I would want to use my own colors and logo. Thank you!
Hi there: Yes, you can totally apply your own branding colors to the overall interface - you get to choose 2 colors and then you can choose colors for each course as well. And you can add your logo to the top left like a normal website. It's kinda tiny so you can't add anything elaborate if you want it to be legible. XO Lisa
@@PrettyFabulousDesigns Thank you
Do you know about any memberships that have databases? That can create a directory with an alphetized list? I've been searching and found some that I'm not so sure of.
Hi Gia: FG Funnels has this ability - it works kinda like Pipedrive if you want to check that out. www.fgfunnels.com/backdoor?fpr=lisa94 XO Lisa
Awesome! It seems like Patreon is more like a crowd funding platform that's great to build a community and eventually launch the official product.
Any thoughts?
this is exactly what I was looking for, thank you for your insight. Could you tell me what link above has the sheet that you said was available how you got up and running please and thanks again!
Hi Kandy: Sorry - my links are down and I realize I am responding super late to your question but if you email me lisa@prettyfabulousdesigns.com , I will send you the PDF. XO Lisa
@@PrettyFabulousDesignsawesome, I will do that! Thank you so much.
Great video! Which one is the link for how you set up your mighty network? Thank you!
Hi Debbie: I bought the Business Plan version www.mightynetworks.com/?via=lisa-siefert That worked out best! XO Lisa
Thank you so much for this outstanding video. I've been trying to find something that gives community as well as courses. Wondering if I can either create a live (yet recorded) 'zoom' meeting with Mighty Works or if I have to do it outside and embed it later?
Hi Mary: You can create a live zoom meeting with MN that's recorded and then they can 1) watch it live and 2) watch the replay. XO Lisa
@@PrettyFabulousDesigns Thank you Lisa for your swift reply. Happy I can do this all in the same place.
Hi Lisa. I've done extensive research on MN but the 30% fee for Apple IOS and Google Apps and the need to wait 3-4 months for $ to me, sounds a bit outrageous. Am I correct there? And are you using these features or just having your stripe account collect monthly payments?
@@themarymacshow Hi there: You don't have to use their payment processing. You can connect to a 3rd party like Samcart or Thrivecart. Or anything else and then just manually add students after they've enrolled - that's what I do. XO Lisa
@@PrettyFabulousDesigns Thanks so much Lisa for all your help. I really love the combination of community and courses so I'm glad I have options. Mary xoxo
Mighty Networks: Is it possible to set up a paid group within a private membership that is only accessible to the (invited, private) members and does not open it up for anybody to sign up? I have checked and it is not possible to set up a paid, private membership. The moment you want people to pay it becomes publicly available for anybody to sign up and I want to limit it only to invited people.
Hi there: Yes, but it can only be done via Courses so you'd have to upgrade to Business so you can create a course and then everyone in that course can chat and network inside that course only.
Podia now offers the community feature what are you thoughts on that?? And how it comp we really to might networks. Only issue is that Podia still doesn’t have app interface I hope it’s in the works.
Hi PCOS Holistic Coach: Great question - it was a TOTAL FAIL for me. I had 728 people registered for the Community but had maybe 3 interactions the entire month I tried it out. No one wanted to 1) log in to Podia just to use the Community feature and 2) It doesn't allow them to post - it works like Patreon where they can view posts and comment only. So it sounded like a great idea but in practice, it just didn't work for me or anyone in my community. XO Lisa
@@PrettyFabulousDesigns Thank you for the valuable insight Lisa!!! I am leaning towards Might Networks now!! :)
What do you think of gumroad?
What are your thoughts on Clubhouse? Although it's only available foe iPhone users, I would enjoy hearng your thoughts on it.
Hate it. Just kidding - I've never even tried it. Listening to podcasts is already the most boring activity on the planet. I don't even have voicemail on my cell phone, I can't imagine torturing myself with listening to a bunch of people ramble on and on. I will never use Clubhouse.
@@PrettyFabulousDesigns until you have your mind blown by a good Joe Rogan podcast
Great video! Once we set a payment plan, can we change it after Mighty Network accepts it?
Hi Katherine: No. Once you get a payment plan approved you can never, until the end of time, never, ever make a change to it. You'd have to delete the entire thing and then start over. Yep - kind of annoying. BUT you can integrate with a more flexible 3rd party option like Samcart or Thrivecart and avoid both the MN fees and this super strict rule. XO Lisa You can find links to everything I use and recommend on my site prettyfabulousdesigns.com/resources/
@@PrettyFabulousDesigns
Thank you, so much!
I love mighty networks. You can go to the top left and hit the buttons in the corner and you should be able to switch networks.
Thanks, Amy - good tip. And yes, MN rocks! XO Lisa
What are your thoughts on member vault?
Hi Jaresha: I was just saying on Robert's comment below how much I loved MV but it's just too small of a company for me to invest in putting my products out there. Even Podia which I love, I didn't join until they'd been around for another couple years just in case... I had such a terrible experience with Course Cats that I didn't want to join another tiny shop that only had like 1 person doing tech support which is kind of how I feel about MV. Hope that helps. XO Lisa
Thank you for this awesome review! However, I tried MightyNetworks after Podia - not a fan! My customers all complained how hard it was to log on, find info, etc. Customer support was not good either. I do have an older audience who are not tech savvy and not feeling well (suffering with chronic health conditions) so that might also be a factor.
Hi Judy, I have a similar audience and concerns. Do you mind sharing which platform you went with and hopefully you and your clients and happy with?
@@garye729 My audience was the same and I ended up moving to Circle XO Lisa
Great Video!! What would you recommend to build a membership site for audiobooks and not courses?
Hi JToomer: That depends - are these your own audiobooks where you own 100% licensing rights or is this an aggregate site where you have curated different books and need to do a revenue split with someone else or option 3 - is this an Etsy site where you allow other authors to resell their audiobooks onto your site? XO Lisa
I am shooting for option 2
@@PrettyFabulousDesigns what would you recommend for option 2 of your answer?
@@JToomer Hi JToomer: For Option 2: I would suggest using Thrivecart Pro since it has a Partner Revenue Split built into each sale - you can buy a lifetime license here lisasiefert--checkout.thrivecart.com/thrivecart-standard-account/
Then I would upload the audiobooks to Soundwise mysoundwise.com/ Do NOT use Findaway - they take a massively huge cut. Soundwise has its own audio app that readers can download on their phone and listen to the audiobooks that way.
Hope that helps! XO Lisa
@@PrettyFabulousDesigns thank you so much!! You made the ocean look like a water bottle!!
does it cost you to host video for your courses? does it have a video limit
Hi Zelisa: All the platforms host your videos for Free - no limits on data storage. Except for Mighty Networks which requires you to store your videos somewhere else and then just provide a link to it. XO Lisa
You can charge people a membership on Mighty Networks?
Hi Rodney: Yes, you can! And multiple levels. XO Lisa
What do you think about Launchpass?
Hi there: It's kinda like Slack and Discord - nothing special. Why bother. XO Lisa
Do you still feel the same about Mighty Networks? I love your content!!!
Hi there Auntie's Market: Great question and yes I still love it and think it's the best. I did move my Planner Pixies group to Circle but I still love and hope to use Might Networks for other projects. XO Lisa
Hi do you still like mighty Networks after 1 year?
Hi, so can you also have one time payment online courses on Mighty?
Hi Nick - yes, you can! XO Lisa
@@PrettyFabulousDesigns Thank you!
What is the link for tribe
Hi Lisa: It's gone - She got rid of Tribe. At one point, she's said she no longer is promoting Etsy as a platform to others and that's what Tribe was all about. And then she said she was and had some sales pages links to Etsy Shop stuff but I think it was all to broken links. But my friend Renae still talks about Etsy! czcams.com/video/MgVoEzCleL4/video.html XO Lisa
@@PrettyFabulousDesigns Thanks 4 letting me know. I checked out your website and I like it.
Learn Worlds has what all kajabi & Teachable have... YET WITH the online community where people can make their own profiles & such.
They are an online course builder that also includes interactive ebooks
It also lets you build great landing pages like a website front to your course/subscription
Can you do live streams on Might Network?
Hi there: YES - you can go live from right inside the app! XO Lisa
none of these are even top 5 in capterra?
Hi Dawesi: Capterra is not meant for small online biz - it's created for Procurement officers at Fortune 500 companies and does not apply to small online biz startups which most of the online tools are for. If you're trying to decide between a $2M implementation of WorkDay vs a $1.5M enterprise implementation of Peoplesoft, then yes, Capterra is the place to go. Otherwise, a small business making less than $1M has no reason to go to Capterra. Plus, all of those reviews are paid for which I consider fake reviews. XO Lisa
Mighty Networks is terrible. They never responded to any of my emails, I had it penetration tested and their are MAJOR leaks and the ability to steal credit card information upon signup, also, the site is NOT compatible with Norton Antivirus. It gets blocked by Norton, and it also gets blocked by Apple products firewall because of security.
Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience. I honeslty didn't even know Norton Antivirus still existed - I've been an Apple user for quite a while now. But it works fine for me on all of my Apple devices and they're pretty good about responding within a couple days to any of my questions.
@@PrettyFabulousDesigns Yeah, Norton teamed up with Lifelock (the ID theft protection company) and created some widgets that are pretty cool. Yeah, they never got back to me :( I found another solution though 😁😁 Its good to know that not all Apple products have the same experience as what I was told happened. I just had like half of the people I wanted to join saying the site wasn't built/was down/was too risky
@@PrettyFabulousDesigns thank you for responding 😁 I appreciate it
