Connecting with customers keeps the lights on for solo business owners, so we’ve added another way for you to drum up engagement, share information, and provide value for your people.
Now you can add discussion forums directly inside your Podia products and courses. 🚀
In the new “Discussions” tab, you’ll have a dedicated space to host conversations within each product that you offer.
Unlike comments, which are tied to a specific lesson, the discussion area lets you and your customers create posts about the course/product as a whole rather than only commenting on a single lesson.
You can use this space to…
Create a changelog
Update customers when new content is available
Provide support for students
Give students space to discuss the material amongst themselves
Offer feedback on assignments or projects in your programs
Add a weekly Q&A
Share links to live calls and events
Or anything else you want – all while giving customers the option to respond and interact with you and each other.
In addition to the new discussion area, your students will also have more customization options in their account settings.
Customers can add a profile photo, bio, and social links to their account. This info will appear whenever they comment or participate in a discussion so everyone can get to know each other better.
Product discussions are available in your Podia account right now, and any new products you create will have this option enabled by default.
You can also turn on discussions for your existing products. Click on the product you’d like to edit, update your discussion preferences in the “Details” tab, and let the conversations begin.
You can learn more about the new product discussions feature in this help doc.
