Community Building With Mighty Networks

Mighty Networks is a platform designed for building a self-contained online community, offering an alternative to platforms like Facebook Groups, Discord, or Guilded (0:00-0:17). The main advantage of Mighty Networks is that it provides a focused, ad-free, and clutter-free environment for your community (0:31-0:59, 8:33-8:53).

Key features of Mighty Networks include:

• Main Feed/Community Page: Displays all activity within the group, customizable to show everything, personal activity, or content from the host/admin (1:18-2:21).

• Discovery Tab: Acts as a "lobby" showcasing top posts, nearby members, topics, top members, featured content, and upcoming events (2:46-3:06).

• Member List & About Page: Provides a list of all members and a customizable "About" section for the community (3:08-3:24).

• Invite Section: Allows easy invitation of new members via a shareable link and tracks sent invites (3:29-4:01).

• Topics: Customizable sections for organizing content, such as updates, announcements, gaming news, or streaming platforms (4:03-4:25).

• Events Tab: Enables setting up and managing events, both digital (e.g., Zoom calls, Twitch streams) and physical meetups, with RSVP options and comment sections (4:26-6:11).

• Professions/Custom Fields: Allows members to categorize themselves (e.g., content creator, artist, musician), fostering connections among like-minded individuals (6:14-7:30).

• Groups: Similar to channels in Discord or Guilded, allowing members to join specific interest-based groups (7:31-7:53).

• Robust Search Functionality: Easily search within the entire community for specific keywords, filtering by posts, activity, or location (9:16-10:02).

• Location-Based Connections: Members can set their generalized location (e.g., city, region) to connect with others nearby, useful for local communities (10:06-11:47).

• Built-in Live Streaming: Offers the capability to host member-only or community-wide live streams directly within the platform, eliminating the need for external tools (11:50-12:28).

Mighty Networks operates on a paid service model, offering two main pricing tiers (12:38-13:01):

• Community Plan: Costs $33/month (when paid annually) or $39/month. Includes all the core features demonstrated, with 5 hours of live streaming and up to 50 viewers per stream, and 250 GB of storage (13:01-13:29, 15:06-15:46, 16:17-16:19).

Both plans allow communities to be set up as free, paid, or completely private (13:57-14:16).
