GETTING STARTED GUIDE

Key Community Launch Elements

Here is an overview of the key elements you'll need to launch.

 

1. YOUR COMMUNITY NAME + DOMAIN

The first - and most important - step is selecting and connecting your domain so we can see your site live!

Step 1: Choose A Domain That Matches Your Community Name

Choosing the right name for your community sets you up for success. While you're at it, it's a good idea to check if the matching website domain is available. 

  • Don't have an idea yet? That's okay, let's get your site live so we can complete our setup. You can always change it later!  

💻 Best Practice: 2 Domains 💻

One for your community, and one for your website/landing page to drive sales.


External Sales Website Jedari Community Website
A public website/landing page that will explain the value of joining & drive sales Your own private social platform that lives behind a login wall
You can't have the same domain for both, because connecting your community would override your existing website. 
External Sales Website Example Jedari Community Website Example

lionsnotsheepcoaching.com

lionsnotsheepden.com

Step 2: Purchase Your Domain 

  • Namecheap: To purchase your domain, we recommend Namecheap.com. but you can purchase your domain anywhere.
  • Connection Through Cloudflare: Our domain connection process through Cloudflare.com takes care of security for free, so you don't need to purchase hosting, SSL certificates, or any add-ons.

Step 3: Connect Your Domain To Jedari 

 


 

2. YOUR BRANDED SUPPORT EMAIL

It's a good idea to have a dedicated, branded support email to send verification emails, connect with your community members, and keep things professional. 

  • Our default email sender is support@jedari.com, but we can connect a custom email for your community.
  • Your custom email sender has to match your community domain in order to be CAN-SPAM compliant.
Community Domain Example Support Email Example
lionsnotsheepden.com support@lionsnotsheep.com
mysocial.com support@mysocial.com

Set Up Your Support Email 📤

  • You can create an email inbox for your domain through Google Workspace or Outlook.
  • Our comprehensive tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the process with ease.

 


 

3. MONETIZATION STRATEGY

Turning Passion Into Profit 💰

With our automated billing features, you can transform your community into a scalable, revenue-generating asset.

  • Membership Pricing: What will you charge for membership? 
  • Membership Tiers: Will you have different membership levels?
    • Automatic Upsells: We can create exclusive gated groups, pages, and audio albums to specific subscription levels.

GRAPHICS

GROUPS

Create Groups For Dedicated Discussions

  • Create unlimited groups for specific topics, and decide who can join, post, and comment. Control group access via membership plans.
  • Example: Live Calls Group, where you're the only one who can post, so users can easily find all of your live calls.

So, start brainstorming the groups you will want in your community.
