What Do You Need Before You Set This Up?

Before creating your membership inside FEA Create, make sure your domain, client portal, and email marketing are already set up.

You’ll also want to have your membership content, branding, descriptions, images, and conversation channels planned out before building your community.

Step 1: Plan Your Membership Content

Before setting up your membership area, spend some time mapping out:

  • Your monthly content releases

  • Training topics

  • Resources and downloads

  • Replay uploads

  • Community conversations

  • Member journey

  • Live events

It’s also helpful to prepare:

  • Videos

  • PDFs

  • Workbooks

  • Templates

  • Graphics

  • Descriptions

Do this ahead of time so everything is ready to upload.

Step 2: Plan Your Community Channels

Your membership can include different conversation channels where members can interact with each other.

For example:

  • General discussion

  • Wins and celebrations

  • Questions and support

  • Monthly content discussions

  • Accountability

  • Networking

  • Resources

  • Announcements

Think about how you want your members to engage inside the community and create channels around those topics.

Step 3: Create Your Community

Inside FEA Create:

  1. Go to Create Your Offer

  2. Open Communities

  3. Click Create Group

You’ll then be able to:

  • Add your community name

  • Create your community URL

  • Add a description

  • Upload your logo

  • Upload a cover image

  • Add your favicon

Your cover image and branding help create a welcoming experience for your members when they enter the community.

Step 4: Customize Your Membership Branding

Inside your community settings, you can customize the look and feel of your membership area.

You can upload:

  • Your logo

  • Cover image

  • Brand colours

  • Icons

  • Favicons

This helps your membership feel fully aligned with your business and brand.

Step 5: Create Your Community Channels

Once your community is created, you can start adding your conversation channels.

Channels help organize discussions and make it easier for members to navigate the community.

You might create channels for:

  • Introductions

  • Monthly trainings

  • Coaching questions

  • Community support

  • Accountability

  • Resources

  • Wins and celebrations

These channels create structure and encourage engagement inside your membership.

Step 6: Upload Your Membership Content

Inside your membership, you can upload:

  • Training videos

  • Replay videos

  • PDFs

  • Workbooks

  • Audio files

  • Templates

  • Resources

You can organize your content inside the learning section to make it easy for members to navigate.

This allows your membership to become both:

  • A community space

  • A learning platform

all in one place.

Step 7: Add Links and Resources

You can also add custom links inside your membership area.

For example:

  • Booking calendars

  • Upcoming events

  • Zoom calls

  • Coaching sessions

  • Bonus resources

  • Sales pages

  • Important announcements

This helps members quickly access the most important parts of your business and program.

Step 8: Use Gamification Features

FEA Create also includes gamification features inside communities.

This means you can:

  • Create leaderboards

  • Encourage participation

  • Increase engagement

  • Reward active members

These features can help make your membership feel more interactive and community-driven.

Step 9: Organize the Member Experience

When setting up your membership, think about:

  • What new members should see first

  • Which channels are most important

  • How members navigate the content

  • Where to place announcements

  • What actions members should take next

A clean and organized membership experience helps your members feel supported and makes it easier for them to stay engaged.

Step 10: See What Your Members Will See

Your community sits inside your client portal, right alongside your courses, billing and files. Here's what your members will find when they log in:

  • Home. A feed of the latest posts from every channel, so members can catch up on everything in one place.

  • Group switcher. If a member is in more than one of your groups, they can jump between them from one menu.

  • Posts and comments in the feed. Comments, replies and attachments show right in the feed, so conversations are easy to follow and join.

  • Emoji reactions. Members can react to a post without needing to write a comment.

  • Search. One search bar finds posts, comments and members.

  • Members tab. Members can view each other's profiles and start a private chat.

  • Courses. Course cards show more detail, and members can switch from a discussion to a lesson and back again without losing their place.

  • Events. Upcoming events and lives in one place, so members never miss a session.

  • Leaderboard. Shows the most active members and their levels, a fun way to celebrate engagement and encourage participation.

We'd recommend logging in as a member to see it for yourself before you launch.

Final Tip

Your membership does not need to be perfect before you launch it.

Start with your core content, a few clear conversation channels, and a welcoming community space. You can continue adding resources, trainings, and features as your membership grows.

The most important thing is creating a space where your members feel supported, connected, and excited to stay involved in your world 💕
