Community leaders on Meetup are getting frustrated. Ads inside their group. Members hitting paywalls just to see who's attending. Forced subscriptions just to participate. It's no wonder more and more community leaders are making the switch to Heylo.
Heylo is built for community leaders who want to focus on what actually matters: bringing people together. No ads, no paywalls, no friction. Just your group, your events, and your members.
The good news is the transition is simpler than you think. Leaders who've already made the move have shared what worked for them, and it comes down to a few key things.
After you've set up your group on Heylo:
- Start with your core team — invite your co-organizers, volunteers, and most engaged members first
- Pick a date and make Heylo your source of truth — commit to one platform for RSVPs, check-ins, and conversations
- Make it impossible to miss on Meetup — create a final standing event with "OFFICIAL SIGN UP ON HEYLO" in the title and put your Heylo link at the very top of the description, so anyone who lands on your Meetup page knows exactly where to go
- Say it in person — a quick announcement and a QR code at your next event goes a long way
- Announce it on social media — update your bio, create a post, and pin it
