Summary
If you’re thinking about migrating your community, I want you to think about it as a strategic redesign, not a tech project. A migration should significantly improve the member experience. If it doesn’t, it’s not worth the risk. But if it does, it can unlock better onboarding, clearer upsells, stronger engagement, and a much stickier subscription product. At Affinity, we handle a lot of community migrations, most often to Circle. But we don’t recommend migration for everyone. In this episode, I walk through how I evaluate whether a migration is necessary, what makes one successful, and why this is actually one of the biggest opportunities you’ll ever have to improve your member experience. I share case studies from moving course creators off Teachable and Facebook into one streamlined ecosystem, migrating actor communities out of Slack and ThriveCart, and redesigning a contractor membership that previously lived on Hivebrite.
