Nas.io - Platform to launch your paid community challenges

Hello Product Hunters, I am so damn excited!! We have just shipped Challenges, The best feature to help you engage your members AND generate revenue at the same time. (Browse all features here: https://nas.io/features/challeng...) Why am I so excited about this? Because challenges have done magic for me. I introduced a few challenges to my community over the past few months. And every challenge increased engagement by 3x. 300% more engagement! Not only that. Challenges are now becoming a new way to generate revenue. Your members are tired of “liking, commenting and subscribing” Your members want to “commit and do” They want to go on a journey with you that helps them! Courses take months to develop. Challenges take…10 minutes. Here are a few examples: 7 day fitness challenge 10 day design challenge 1 month engineering challenge 3 month investing challenge the list can go on and on. Nas.io Challenges has a gamification feature called Checkpoints. Each challenge has multiple checkpoints that keep members motivated. That’s how you can check-in on your members and keep them accountable. At Nas.io, we care a lot about helping you make money. So, challenges can be paid OR free. I highly recommend you go paid. This will increase engagement by 5x instead of 3x. You can introduce rewards, prizes. You can create daily or weekly check ins. You can upload video files. Or send drip emails. We built challenges to be the simplest, fastest way in the world to engage your members and monetize your community. I am really excited about all the stuff you’ll build with this. Check out Challenges on Nas.io now, and comment back with a challenge you will build or participate in. https://nas.io/features/challeng...

During 2020-22, I worked on a similar concept, GoSocial App (https://www.instagram.com/gosoci...). The app is no more available on PlayStore, but at the peak we had 500+ challenges and 100K+ MAUs on the app. Couldn't figure out faster growth and monetisation back then, but I realise that the idea was good. @nuseir_yassin1 Your approach to this idea looks very interesting, makes it open for anyone to use from day 1, and has various integrations for community building and monetisation. One learning I'd share from past is to simplify the product's experience. I also created a challenge on it to try out the product, here it is: https://nas.io/daily-tweet-chall...

Is there a way to integrate this into an existing SaaS @nuseir_yassin1? Looks like it would be great for user engagement 🚀

Cool way to drive engagement with any group or community! Seems pretty focused on monetized/commercial engagement but what about a competition with friends or coworkers? Congrats on the launch!

Hello Product Hunt! Alex here, COO of Nas.io We’re so excited to be introducing Nas.io's latest Product: Challenges! We’ve been on a 2 year journey to help creators turn their online communities into a sustainable business. And we've been asking what are some of most effective ways to combine the power of community and online commerce? After speaking to thousands of creators, it became crystal clear to us that Paid Challenges are one of the best ways to do this. For Community Builders, challenges are: 1. Faster and easier to create than courses. Users expect motivation and results, not high production videos. 2. Make good money fast. It’s easy for people to say ‘Yes!’ to a challenge because they get results and don’t require a long-term commitment. 3. They’re easy to optimise & repeat. Unlike courses, challenges start and end quickly. In between each cohort is a chance to optimize, automate, and improve. Community Members love challenges because: 1. They Motivate. Working to achieve their goal alongside others is like an adrenaline shot for motivation. 2. They Create Buzz. Challenges can get 10x the engagement of a regular community. This gets people signed up and keeps them committed. 3. They Work. Doing a time-limited challenge together with a community cheering each other on helps people to actually achieve the shared goals. Challenges are very close to us, in fact we started our entire business with 1,000 videos in 1,000 days challenge! So we asked ourselves, is there a way we can make the experience of running a paid challenge a little bit easier? Enter... Nas.io for Challenges & Competitions - our solution to run and monetise your Challenge (https://nas.io/challenges) With Nas.io for Challenges we have provided solutions to all 4 of the most common problems: 1. Challenge Builder: Structure your challenge in minutes. Upload content into modules and hit publish! Your community can start signing up immediately. 2. Checkpoints and Activity Tracker: Set milestones that automatically unlock and keep members on track. Nas.io’s activity tracker shows you who is keeping up and who needs an additional nudge. Connect a WhatsApp group to boost member engagement. 3. Sign ups and Payments: Run free or paid challenges with Nas.io’s built-in landing page & payment gateway. We can process payments from all around the world. 4. Award Winners: Nas.io makes makes it easier to reward challenge finishers! Pick winners (or multiple) and reward them with cash or other prizes! Our goal is that any creator, no matter how large or small, should be able to build and run a successful paid challenge. We hope you'll check it out, and get in touch if this sounds like a solution for your Community! To checkout the features, go to: https://nas.io/features/challeng...

Congrats for this product, good luck!

I am excited with this new launch! I have participated in many personal challenges, mainly fitness related, and I've often struggled to find good ways to track progress. The struggle of going through complicated and ugly spreadsheets in Excel or other softwares became a daily frustration. Now, as I am leading my second challenge (not only participating), I find myself coming across the same obstacles, including how to monetise. Previously, I had to manage multiple platforms to manage my challenges, creating so much work for both myself and my participants. However, with this new feature, I couldn't be more enthusiastic! However, whilst I've only just begun exploring the features, I did notice a few areas for improvement, such as the ability to join the challenge as a participant while also being its owner, and the need to manually save changes instead of an auto-save option. Regardless, working with a platform that integrates challenges, monetisation, membership management, and content sales is amazing. It has absolutely streamlined my workflow and improved the experience for my members too. I am eagerly waiting for further improvements! :) Great work, team!

Challenges are one of the most effective ways for people to get results fast. They’re easy to create and they drive a LOT of revenue because they help people improve their lives. I’m Dovi from the Nas.io team. I’ve helped promote many challenges in the past. They always amaze me with how effective they are. Turns out… there is a good reason for that. Challenges are built out of Community. Urgency. FOMO. Those 3 emotions are dopamine triggers and they push people to action. Challenges are UNMISSABLE because they combine these psychological triggers into one irresistible, valuable program. Whether your community wants to get fitter, learn an instrument, or master AI prompting… enriching lives is easier with a challenge. Two personal challenges have improved my life as well. Firstly, I challenged myself to learn German in just 3 months using The Michel Thomas Method. Then I moved to Austria for 2 years. Secondly, I lowered my rising blood sugar in 60 days by not making excuses and eating healthy. But those were things I did on my own. Had I been part of a community challenge, my German would be better and I’d still be eating healthy lol. Until now, there has never been a good tool for running challenges. That’s what https://nas.io/features/challeng... is all about. Improving lives with community challenges, and using that to fuel a good, sustainable business. It has ever feature you need, like Checkpoints, payments, content hosting, upsell options, etc. Look through the features today and think about what type of challenge YOU want to run… or join! We’re here if you have any questions.

Challenges have long been a go-to for building communities. They aren't just about fun anymore – they're a great way to make money as a creator. Forget about messy WhatsApp groups and keeping track of who's done what. With Nas.io Challenges, everything is organized, clear, and super easy to follow. Challenges are all about accountability, tracking progress, and rewards. It's a whole new way of monetizing and engaging with your followers, especially for Fitness, Nutrition & Wellness creators! I strongly believe that Challenges can be a new and reliable source to generate income and impact for creators. So looking forward to see the impact Challenges bring about.

Very nice community platform that you created! Can one integrate nas.io with an app or is everything a webapp on nas.io? And compliments on the pricing page, very compelling!
