In the spirit of platform switches, I'm curious what everyone else is using right now.

I'm very new to this world. I plan to start recording and posting videos, likely on YouTube, in the near future. I typically use my real name online, and I would do so on my YouTube videos since I'm making them for my business, Land My First LLC. My name is unique and it's very easy to find me online, which means it's very easy to find me in real life. Should I be concerned about this? If so, what precautions should I take?

This is the introductions thread. Say hi, tell us what your business is all about! In your introduction, answer these 3 questions: ➡️ What is your name? (feel free to share pronouns if you’d like!) ➡️ What is your business or platform? Who do you serve, what do you sell, etc ➡️ If you were to host your dream party, and the sky was the limit, what would the theme be? We can’t wait to meet you!

Something I see over and over again in the small business space is a business that uses an @gmail.com, @yahoo.com, @outlook.com, or some other free email service for communicating with their customers. Perhaps one reason is the cost barrier. While I recommend Google Workspace as the best option for business email, there is no longer a free option available. When I say business email, I mean a service that gives you the ability to setup email using your businesses domain (e.g. you@yourbusinessname.com). The only free option currently available (at least the only free one worth considering) is Zoho Mail's free offering. They call it the "Forever Free Plan." More information about this free option can be found here: https://www.zoho.com/mail/zohomail-pricing.html?src=mpd-menu Scroll down the page a bit and you'll find a blurb about the Forever Free Plan, its features, and its limitations. If you're just at the getting started phase and can't justify the cost of Google Workspace (or Microsoft 365), this may just meet your current needs while also providing you with an opportunity to give all email interactions with your customers and vendors a new level of professionalism.

@Leigh Norén asked this question here https://www.skool.com/creator-party/skool-vs-circle I wanted to make sure everyone saw it! I'm recording a podcast episode about why we chose Skool and the transition process, and want to make sure I answer your biggest questions! So, what questions do you have about how we landed on Skool as our new platform for community + courses?
