“When you really understand who your audience is, you can create products that appeal to them. On Circle, all the elements (to create) are there. It’s been a really great find for me and my community, and what we’re trying to achieve.”
Your income rises and falls with the algorithm
Brand deals. AdSense. CPMs. It’s a rollercoaster — and you’re not in control.
If you stop posting, your business stops too
The pressure to stay visible is constant. Miss a week and it can cost you.
You can only reach a fraction of your audience
YouTube controls who sees your content. You can't message, segment, or truly connect.
In the last year alone, Circle powered:
$194M
Revenue for community creators
981K
Events hosted
48K
Courses launched
7.3M
posts created
