Community that makes people feel at home
Topic-based spaces, group chats, DMs, free or paid tiers. The kind of place your members keep coming back to.
The stuff that makes a community feel like home.
Here’s what your community gets with Podia.
ChatSpacesSearchMembers
Wherever the conversation flows.
Group chats. DMs between members. Direct messages from you. The conversation flows however you and your members want it to.
Different rooms for different things.
Set up spaces by topic, tier, or however you’d like. Conversations stay focused, members find what they care about, and nobody gets overwhelmed.
Nothing gets buried.
Members can search for posts, other members, or topics. Important stuff stays findable, so the same question doesn't need to get asked four times.
Real people in the room.
Every member gets a profile, so the room isn't full of anonymous usernames. The people inside know who they're talking to.
Always included
An easy way to connect with you, and each other. Everyone who signs up, subscribes, or buys joins your community.

The internet is getting less human. Your community doesn’t have to.
Your community on Podia lives with everything else you make: your courses, your store, your email, your blog. Everything and everyone in the same place. We obsess over what it actually feels like to be a member of one of these places. The moment you join. Finding your way around. Whether members feel like they belong, or just feel like they signed up for something. That's the stuff that makes communities last. And the stuff that keeps your members coming back.
Bundle products
Include community access in any course, download, coaching package, or event. Customers join the moment they buy.
Lives on your website
Your community lives at the same domain as your online store, blog, and everything else you sell. One brand, one login, one place.
Connect to email
Send broadcasts to your whole community, or just to one tier. Email automations welcome and nurture new members.
Newsletters, automations, and launches. All connected to your store, with real data on what's working.
Events

Coaching
Coaching without the back-and-forth. Sell 1:1 sessions or build group coaching programs right from your site.
