For the longest time inside The Lab, my private community was running inside of a closed Facebook group.

My thinking was this:

My members most likely are already on Facebook
They find it easy to use
It saves me hassle
Notifications will mean they see conversations

As I now sit here a couple years later, I realize I was mistaken.

In this episode of Coffee Break Blogging, I share with you 7 specific reasons why I decided; after a couple years of having my member community on Facebook, I switched to a privately hosted forum for our Lab Community.

I also recommend that anybody else looking to have a private community inside of their membership site should set up from the start on a private forum that you own and control.

Make time for this episode... and learn from my mistakes.
