Mighty Networks Common Mistakes to Avoid
Mistake #1: Creating Too Many Spaces at Launch
❌ Wrong: Setting up 10+ Spaces before you have active members. This spreads conversations thin and makes the community feel empty.
✅ Right: Start with 2-3 core Spaces. Add more only when existing Spaces get too busy and members ask for more specific topics.
Mistake #2: Skipping the Welcome Checklist
❌ Wrong: Letting new members figure out the community on their own. Most will leave without posting anything.
✅ Right: Set up a Welcome Checklist that guides new members to introduce themselves, complete their profile, and join their first discussion.
Mistake #3: Only Posting Your Own Content
❌ Wrong: Treating your community like a broadcast channel where only you post. Members feel like an audience, not a community.
✅ Right: Ask questions, create polls, and highlight member posts. Mighty Networks reports 84% of content comes from members in thriving communities.
Mighty Networks Troubleshooting
Problem: Members Not Getting Email Notifications
Cause: Emails may land in spam folders, or members turned off email notifications in their settings.
Fix: Ask members to check spam and add Mighty Networks to their safe sender list. Remind them to review notification preferences in their profile settings.
Problem: Stripe Payments Not Connecting
Cause: Your Stripe account may not be fully verified or the connection timed out during setup.
Fix: Log into Stripe and confirm your account is active. Then reconnect Stripe from Mighty Networks Settings under “Payments.” Try a different browser if it fails.
Problem: Course Content Not Showing for Members
Cause: The course may still be in draft mode, or members don’t have the right access level.
Fix: Check that the course status is set to “Published.” Verify that members have the correct plan or access to view the course content.
📌 Notiz: If none of these fix your issue, contact Mighty Networks support.
