Hi everyone!

I just started a free trial so I can see if this software would be a good fit for migrating my online dance business. I really resonate with the desire to bring everything together and simplify the tech in order to shift focus to my content. 

My goal is to create a more interactive learning environment that simply delivering one way courses, and host a community where our students can share their progress, collaborate, and interact more. 

I've tried every software out there, and I keep coming back to a customized wordpress build to bring the features together that I need, and am desperately trying to get away from that mess. 

I am looking forward to seeing how this plays out. 

Cheers!

We are currently using circle.so but having all of our communities and courses on the same platform could be pretty cool, and make things a lot easier...

glad to be here poking around so I can get familiar and make a (the right) decision.

Hi,
Hanne from Denmark 😃 I'm a Dietitian with a background in Functional Medicine.
I have had my website here at Simplero for some years. Now I am working on creating online courses for 60+ women and will be using a lot more of the features that Simplero offers. Looking forward to this. 
This new community feature really is a PLUS! I will love to have my course members meet up in a community located here instead of at Facebook! 👌🏻

Hi everyone 👋 I have been a commodities daytrader for the past 25 years. I also gave daytrading courses from 2005 until about 2015. My wife then got sick, breast cancer which evolved unfavorably. I took care of her full-time and stopped teaching. She passed away 2 years ago. Fast forward to now... Trading full-time again and also creating lessons, courses and workshops online, via Simplero. What sold me was the spiritual focus that the company has, as well as offering all I need and more, all in one place. This "meet & greet" space, here, is really cool and gives a human side to what could be just another SAAS company like all others. Thanks to everyone who wrote here. I don't know you but read each one :)

Hi friends –

I'm a marketer and copywriter who started using Simplero in 2017 (I think?) to create courses and a community teaching marketing to Montessori school owners (https://www.montessorithrive.com/).

Now, I have my own freelance marketing/copy business at https://hutsoncreative.co helping course creators like you all grow your businesses. I've worked with folks like Pat Flynn, Ian Morgan Cron, Homesteading Family, and more.

I also worked on the marketing team at Simplero from 2018 - 2020.

I'm an ex-certified StoryBrand Guide.

No matter how many new platforms pop up (hi Skool) I keep coming back to Simplero. Everything just works. The number of times I've thought, "I wish I could just _______" and then found Simplero could do exactly what I wanted, is outrageous. Easily the most flexible and useful software for creators right now. 

And did I mention how fast it is? Other platforms just feel aggravatingly slow now. So thanks for that @Calvin Correli and team, lol.

Currently living in Nashville, TN USA with my wife and 2 year old son. 

Fun fact - I have a percussion performance degree and briefly performed with the Blue Man Group. #baldandblue

I've been using Simplero since 2015 and it has enabled me to host everything from online health and life coaching courses ; to promoting high end destination retreats; and since 2019 I've been focusing on serving the construction industry. I've watched Simplero go from super basic,.to done for you services.  I recognize I still only use part of its full capabilities.

Hello everybody! I started on Simplero with one little drawing course in 2019 which has slowly and steadily evolved into my Visual Minds Membership, all about visual thinking for business.

I drew my Simplero story in my Big Idea SketchCast with @Calvin Correli

I noticed that uploading images in this new forum is a problem —images get duplicated and sometimes disappear. I hope we can use it for "homework drawings" in my course when it is fixed. So far, we're using Padlet. I'd love to stay in Simplero.

Hello fellow Simpletons...

I am a happy Simplero user since a couple of years. I came from a dirt cheap CRM solution that supposedly did it all but nothing worked. - to Simplero that did way less, but does it really really well. I am very happy to see the platform adding exciting features like this new community forum thingy. Good stuff.

Trying to add a photo to my post... that did not work - it just keeps spinning and trying to upload it. What gives?

Hi Everyone, so fun to read about everyone's businesses. I am just getting started setting up in Simplero (taking a recommendation for this software from the amazing George Kao). I am a green career coach helping people get jobs to save our planet! My business is Green Career Advisor. I am switching to Simplero because I will be creating and selling online courses in the near future. I am thinking of hiring a Simplero consultant to help me get things set up because I am so busy.

I also just opened an Online Bookshop for Green + Social Impact Careers + Environment/ Nature (that will benefit local bookshops).

Hello from Australia!

I've been a Simplero user since late 2021, and use it to run my website, digital product shop, courses and memberships for Microsoft 365 training and support (Thrive Admin Services). 

I love being able to have a single place for most of my digital work in my business, and that I can easily create on-brand landing pages and emails.

Looking forward to being able to open up this new feature in my own memberships, and build a stronger sense of community with my members!

Hi everyone, I'm Shaunna and I run a scrapbooking business called Passionate About Pages.  I've been using Simplero for a little over 2 years to host online workshops teaching creative design techniques, storytelling in photo albums and photo organisation.  I have an active in person community as well as a membership within Simplero and many standalone mini courses.  

I've found it so useful to give my customers the option to attend the same class in person or online.  As a result of offering the online option my business has flourished.  I'm excited for this Community feature as one of the things my 20+ years in business has shown me is that scrapbookers are people people and love sharing stories with each other.

Wow! I love learning about everyone's businesses- inspiring! And I LOVE this new community experience. 👏

As a former dance studio owner I combined my passion for dance, marketing, and systems and created a magical children's dance program called Princess Ballerinas. For the past 9 years, thanks to Simplero (and Facebook ads!) I've been able to share the program with thousands of studios around the world with joy and ease. 

I'm excited to see how things develop with this new community! 💖🎉
