Beyond Followers: The Power of Circles
Followers are great. But followers don't collaborate with you, share opportunities, or vouch for you to brands. That's what a circle does. Social Circles on Social Page let you build curated groups of connections — collaborators, supporters, and fellow creators who actively engage with your work.
Think of it as your inner circle, made visible. The people who show up, share your work, and make introductions. Social Circles formalize these relationships and display them on your profile.
Your circle is your competitive advantage.
What Are Social Circles?
Social Circles are groups you create and manage on Social Page. Each circle can have a theme — your podcast guests, your brand partners, your creative collaborators, or your mastermind group. Members are displayed on your profile, creating social proof and cross-promotion opportunities.
- Create up to 5 circles (Elite plan)
- Invite members via Social Page
- Display circles on your profile
- Cross-promote within your network
- Build visible credibility through associations
Circle Ideas for Creators
Not sure what circles to create? Here are proven concepts that drive engagement and opportunities:
The Collab Circle
Creators you've worked with on content, campaigns, or projects. Visible proof of your collaboration history. Brands see you're connected and easy to work with.
The Mastermind Circle
Your inner circle of peers at a similar level. You share strategies, opportunities, and accountability. Displaying this shows you're serious about growth.
The Alumni Circle
Students, mentees, or community members you've helped grow. Social proof that you deliver results and build people up.
Different circles serve different purposes.
The Brand Partner Circle
Brands you've worked with (who are on Social Page). Instant credibility for new brand inquiries — they see who trusts you.
The Local Circle
Creators in your city or region. Perfect for local brand campaigns, meetups, and collaborative content. Geographic networks are underrated.
How to Build Your First Circle
- Define the purpose — what does this circle represent?
- Start with 3-5 strong connections you already have
- Send personalized invites explaining the value
- Display the circle prominently on your Social Page
- Actively promote circle members' work
Quality over quantity. A circle of 5 engaged collaborators beats 50 random connections. Each member should add credibility and value.
Strong circles create mutual success.
Circle Etiquette
Circles work best with clear expectations. Here's how to maintain healthy, productive circles:
- Only invite people you'd genuinely recommend
- Actively engage with members' content
- Share opportunities that fit their niche
- Celebrate members' wins publicly
- Remove inactive or misaligned members gracefully
Circles and Social Ranking
Your circle connections influence your Social Ranking. Being connected to high-ranked creators boosts your own ranking. It's not just about who you know — it's about who vouches for you.
This creates a positive flywheel: build genuine relationships → get invited to circles → boost your ranking → become more discoverable → attract more opportunities.

Getting Started with Circles
Social Circles are available on Pro and Elite plans. Solo users can join circles but need to upgrade to create their own.
- Solo: Join circles, limited creation
- Pro: Create up to 3 circles
- Elite: Create up to 5 circles with advanced features
Start by identifying 5 creators you'd want in your first circle. Reach out, explain the concept, and build from there. The best circles start small and grow intentionally.
