WhatsApp vs Campfire - which should I pick for my private coaching clients? 🤔
I'm considering setting up a dedicated chat space for my private clients outside of Skool. I've spent quite a bit of time looking into various platforms including Discord, Slack, and Telegram, but found they're too complex and overwhelming. Plus, I don't want to ask anyone to download yet another app that'll just add to the digital clutter. After careful consideration, I've narrowed it down to two simple options: Option 1: WhatsApp - Already on most phones - Instant notifications - Easy access to messages and resources - Private group settings - Familiar interface Option 2: Campfire (by Basecamp) - Clean, distraction-free environment - Organised channels - Easy access to past resources and conversations - Web-based (accessible from any device) - No extra app needed - just click a link As a long-time user of Basecamp and fan of Jason Fried and DHH's approach to simple, focused software, I'm drawn to Campfire's clean interface. However, WhatsApp's widespread adoption and recent community features make it a strong contender too. What do you think I should go with?
