In your coaching and course business, you have two main focus areas: the front end and the back end.

‍

The front end involves creating landing pages, sales pages, and shopping carts to make it easy for potential customers to discover your offerings.

‍

The back end is where the magic truly happens. It's where you package and deliver valuable content, creating an immersive and impactful experience for your audience. This is the safe space where your students learn from you and where your business thrives. It's also where you generate the revenue that keeps everything going.

‍

While effective marketing is important for business growth, the real measure of success lies in your students' results when investing in your programs. It's the transformation and progress they experience that truly drive your business forward.

‍

SocialGlow and Searchie are both "back end" focused platforms. Their primary mission is to help you deliver your content to your students most conveniently and effectively as possible. Their differences lie in what they believe empowers your customers to achieve their desired results.

‍

SocialGlow believes that the power of community is the key to unlocking exceptional results. We emphasize fostering a sense of belonging and collaboration among your members. By providing a space to build a supportive and engaged community alongside your course material, so your students can thrive and achieve incredible things.

‍

Searchie focuses on enhancing the content experience by providing a range of features and tools to optimize your video content through transcription. By improving the accessibility and discoverability of your video content, Searchie aims to elevate the learning experience for your students so they can learn faster and more efficiently.

‍

Let's break down how these different philosophies are highlighted on both platforms.

‍

Hubs Vs. Groups

Searchie Hubs

Searchie Hubs are where all your audio and video content is delivered to your audience. It looks like a cross between a website and a YouTube channel. When creating a Hub, you'll use a drag-and-drop interface to upload your content, organize it into different pages, and customize the appearance to match your brand quickly and without needing to be tech-savvy.

‍

You can set up your Searchie Hubs as either public or private. A public hub enables you to provide content to potential customers, giving them a glimpse of what it would be like to be part of a membership or take a course with you. It can be integrated into your marketing strategy to attract and engage your target audience.

‍

On the other hand, a private Searchie Hub offers additional features, such as a registration page where members can sign up for access. You can also connect a payment system to it, allowing new members to pay and gain immediate login access. Furthermore, Searchie's Audience Attributes feature enables automatic content tailoring based on user responses, creating a highly personalized experience without requiring additional effort.

‍

When your members access your Searchie Hub, they gain the ability to watch your videos and perform keyword searches to find specific information quickly. This is made possible because Searchie automatically transcribes your content, allowing you to organize and scrub your videos' text for improved accessibility and searchability. By leveraging these features, your members can easily navigate your content and locate the information they need. Searchie simplifies the process of content organization and retrieval, providing a functional tool for your members' learning journey.

‍

While Searchie provides member activity indicators, such as tracking who has watched specific videos, the user experience primarily occurs in a vacuum. Interactions between members are limited within the Searchie ecosystem. However, Searchie does offer a membership directory that allows members to share contact information like social media handles and email addresses. Communication between members occurs outside the Searchie platform, without real-time interaction.

‍

Searchie is an excellent choice if content organization and ease of access to specific knowledge are crucial for your members. It is particularly beneficial for those learning complex skills that require frequent referencing of your content. By offering a searchable encyclopedia of your valuable resources, Searchie keeps your members returning, creating a loyal and engaged community of paid subscribers.

‍

SocialGlow Groups

SocialGlow's Groups offer a familiar Facebook-like setup, allowing you to establish a thriving community quickly. With a few clicks, you can add a description, cover photo, and configure gamification settings while deciding how your members receive notifications. Although Searchie may offer a higher level of customization, SocialGlow takes pride in its streamlined approach, making the setup process easy and efficient. You can focus on developing your course material separately and assign it to the Group when you're ready. The beauty of this setup is that your customers and clients can immediately take advantage of SocialGlow's incredible features, even as you continue uploading your content.

‍

SocialGlow goes beyond being a mere website-based software—it's an actual community space where members can actively engage with one another. SocialGlow's App makes your community and content accessible to members anytime, anywhere. This flexibility sets it apart from Searchie, offering a more comprehensive and immersive experience.

‍

The addictive nature of SocialGlow is a key factor that keeps members coming back for more. They are drawn to the content you share and to what other like-minded individuals in the Group contribute. By fostering meaningful interactions, SocialGlow transforms your creation process from a solitary endeavor into a collaborative effort. This saves you work and enriches the community's value with member-generated content you may have needed more time to create. As your community grows and adapts alongside your content, it becomes a dynamic and thriving environment rather than a static website. Increased member participation and engagement lead to higher course completion rates and actual results.

‍

SocialGlow's gamification features enhance its already addicting user experience. You can activate and customize various gamification elements with a simple toggle switch in the group settings. Assigning points for completing tasks, interactions, and course progress, members can accumulate points displayed on a leaderboard. This leaderboard showcases the most engaged individuals, fostering healthy competition and driving further participation. You can also manually reward members with points as extra incentives or allow them to redeem points for one-on-one sessions, free merchandise, or other enticing rewards. This gamified approach encourages higher engagement and creates an immersive experience for your members.

‍

Communication within SocialGlow

​​SocialGlow is all about bringing a personal touch to your community. That's why we've provided robust communication features that connect you with your members. Unlike Searchie, where interaction is limited to a members' directory, SocialGlow takes it further by giving members their profiles. With profiles, your members can fully engage with your content and even add a profile picture to stand out.

‍

Within SocialGlow, we offer two fantastic communication methods: one-on-one direct chat and group chat. When you create a Group, a convenient Group Chat is automatically set up, allowing you to reach your entire membership in one go. And guess what? The app will instantly notify them, ensuring they never miss a beat.

‍

But it doesn't stop there! We've added some incredible features to make your interactions even more personal. First up, we have Voice Notes. Imagine being able to convey emotions, share excitement, or offer support with your voice. It's all possible with Voice Notes simply by tapping the microphone icon and recording your message. It's an authentic and time-saving way to connect with your members.

‍

And if that's not enough, let me introduce you to Chat Pins. These little gems allow you to easily prioritize and access your most important conversations — no more scrolling through endless chats to find what you need. Just swipe right, click the pin icon, and voilà! You've created your personalized organization system.

‍

Here's something to note: Searchie falls short when providing a community chat space like SocialGlow. They require additional platforms, and tracking becomes a hassle. In SocialGlow, you can effortlessly keep track of member interactions within your community while monitoring their progress in your courses.

‍

Analytics in Searchie vs. SocialGlow

SocialGlow takes tracking engagement and progress to a new level compared to other course-building platforms. While Searchie's main feature is video transcription for searchability, its analytics resemble a YouTube channel's. On the Searchie dashboard, you can monitor member behavior, such as video duration, click preferences, fast-forwarding, searched keywords, and content consumption progress. These analytics provide valuable insights for enhancing your courses and memberships to serve your users better.

‍

On the other hand, SocialGlow goes beyond just tracking course progress. Our platform extensively tracks member engagement through a robust gamification system. It captures every member's interaction within the forum, giving you a comprehensive view of their activities. This deeper level of tracking allows you to understand how members engage with your content and enables you to fine-tune their experience for maximum impact.

‍

SocialGlow’s App

SocialGlow offers a seamless experience for managing multiple groups and customers. Unlike Searchie, where members have to switch between different sites and registrations, SocialGlow provides a unified platform under one login. This means that members can access all the latest posts and content from their various groups in one place, similar to a newsfeed. They can easily navigate between groups without leaving the app.

‍

Additionally, the SocialGlow mobile app offers enhanced notifications unavailable in Searchie. Members will receive instant alerts on their phones whenever you post something new or engage with them in the chat. This mobile app has become a valuable tool for interacting with Groups and members, especially on the go.

‍

Using the SocialGlow mobile app, members can view and engage with posts in their feeds and group rooms. They can comment on posts and save them as favorites for future reference. The app allows them to participate in group chat messages and have private conversations with admins, moderators, and other members. Furthermore, members can access and engage with courses directly from the app. They can conveniently view their saved favorites and receive notifications for any updates or important announcements. The app also provides link and file buttons within group rooms for seamless sharing of resources.

‍

The SocialGlow mobile app offers a comprehensive range of features, empowering you to run successful groups and provide a seamless experience for your members. It ensures that your members can easily access and interact with content, stay connected through notifications, and conveniently engage in discussions and private conversations. With the app's mobile functionality, you can effectively manage and nurture your community, even while on the move.

‍

SocialGlow emerges as the preferred platform for building and growing online communities. Its robust features and user-friendly interface provide a seamless experience for content creators, coaches, and their members. From creating customizable Groups, engaging in authentic and personalized communication through Voice Notes and Chat Pins, and tracking engagement and progress through gamification, SocialGlow fosters meaningful connections and drives member participation. Moreover, the convenience of the mobile app, centralized access to all Groups, and real-time notifications enhance the overall user experience. With SocialGlow, you can create thriving communities, track valuable analytics, and continuously improve your courses and memberships. Join us on SocialGlow and unleash the power of your online community like never before.
