We're speaking from personal experience when we say that Circle is an awesome tool to set up and run your own community. It's easy to use, has a very useful (and ever growing) list of features, and integrates seamlessly with loads of other tools making integration into your stack headache-free.
If you're looking to start your own community from scratch, this tool-path — the first part of our complete Circle education — will show you how. There are 7 video tutorials included in the path, each walking you through a different basic Circle function.
To complete all the tutorials, you'll first need to set up accounts with Circle, Zapier and Luma, and you'll need access to a Google calendar.
Once you're done these tutorials, move to Part 2 of this tool-path.
