@nuseir_yassin1 The Nas Company challenges have been truly transformational for me. So excited that this has become a product that other communities can use!!
@nuseir_yassin1 We've all been following your journey. A few friends asked me to join your Fittr challenge after seeing your results! Challenges are definitely a valuable tool!
@nuseir_yassin1 It's a game-changer for online communities! Really excited to see how community owners will use it to create campaigns with members and utilize the power of communities!
@nuseir_yassin1 This feature is too much awesome, I have been using Nas.io for over a year now, and the consistently evolving needs of community engagement are so well taken care of by you and the team. Keep rocking. Cheers to the new feature launch.
@nuseir_yassin1 I still remember the first time we ran a challenge for our community builders last year. While we were not sure if they would respond the same way students do to daily milestones, we rolled with it.
Well, it worked..
"Your $100 challenge showed that you cared"
" I didn't know there was more than one day to make money on Nas.io"
" Wow I can't believe I made it! Thanks for helping we start our product"
So, almost a year after, I am happy we are now enabling them do make the same difference for their community. Excited for the challenges that are to come from this
@footer Thank you for your support! What type of challenge you thinking of launching?
Nas.io's versatility is unmatched! Organizing challenges and competitions has never been easier. Excited to see how it evolves in the future!
@shruti_parab thank you Shruti! Do give Challenges a try and let us know what you think!
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!
@michacassola Thanks for the question! You can embed your Nas.io community in a sign up button, but all functionality is currently on our web/app. It's something we're looking at, so if you have certain needs, please let us know!
Of course, you can use Nas.io as part of your stack so that you don't need to move everything.
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!
@anthony_latona 100% you can do that! It takes about 20 seconds to open a Nas.io account, and from there you can open a challenge within a few minutes. Nas.io is free to use (as long as you're not charging your members), so you can have a challenge with friends and coworkers live today already!
@dovi_lipton Nothing immediate but at my old company we used to do a yearly weight loss competition. Everyone bought in for $100 and whoever lost the most percentage of their starting weight got cash prizes.
Great to know there's an easier way to run it outside of email/spreadsheets :)
@dovi_lipton @anthony_latona That's a great challenge. Nas.io actually can turn a Challenge into a Competition, exactly as you describe it. The money that goes in can be assigned to one or multiple winners.
@pax93fcb Thank you for the support! What are some challenges you might be keen to join or create?
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...
@nuseir_yassin1 @rajat_dangi1 Thanks for sharing your experience with SoSocial App!
It's awesome that you created your new Tweet challenge on Nas.io. Super quick and easy setup, isn't it?
@rajat_dangi1 500 challenges and 100,000 MAU. Imagine the businesses that creators can build off of that!
@alex_dwek @nuseir_yassin1 Thanks!
I'm currently building https://blinkstore.in/ for creators to launch their customizable merch stores for Free! We are powering 1000s of merch stores in India. Would you be open to integration or collaboration?
We provide custom storefront, 35+ print-on-demand products in catalog, custom domain, coupons, branding, and much more.
Here's my email in case you are interested to explore collaboration: rajat@blinkstore.in 🙏🚀
@orchyan Thank you for your support! Hope you check out the features and launch a challenge yourself, or find one that interests you to join :)
Y'all don't realize how excited I'm to use challenges and help creators launch their communities
Good job Nuseir you & your team are doing the right things. See you at the top 👏
Congratulations on the launch!
Definitely worth checking out this new feature. As a user, the likelihood of me committing to short term, goal-oriented challenges is much higher than a long-time subscription. This is such a creative way for communities to monetise and engage their members through challenges.
I'm really excited to see how communities will utilise this new product feature to engage their members and expand their outreach!
@beatrice_leong Thank you Beatrice! As you say, goal oriented, short-term focus gets you results.
Congrats on the launch!
The adaptability of Nas.io, especially turning Challenges into Competitions, opens up a world of possibilities for engaging communities.
Will explore how it could help in my projects!
@kaspars_juhnevics1 thank you so much. Please do give it a try and let us know what you think!
@kaspars_juhnevics1 Unlimited possibilities! Our team is here for you if you want to ever brainstorm.
Just made an account we were just going to make something custom but this is so useful.
@karam_sethi1 awesome to here this! Would love to hear your thoughts on the product once you give it a try!
@karam_sethi1 That's why we built this tool (and the rest of Nas.io). There wasn't anything on the market to help people like you build without going custom. Waiting to see the challenges you build. Like Alex said, let us know how you find the product.
@bonvisions That depends on if your existing community is on Nas.io or another platform. Where is it hosted? You'll be able to use Challenges either way, but how you use it will be different.
@bonvisions the good news is you can run a challenge on Nas.io and offer it to your existing community members to sign up. You can even add members to a challenge without them needing to register.
I would highly recommend you give it a try! Our team would be happy to give you a walk through!
Is there a way to integrate this into an existing SaaS @nuseir_yassin1? Looks like it would be great for user engagement 🚀
@sandra_idjoski Hey Sandra, you can use it alongside any other platform you're using today.
Nas.io is a full suite of community management tools, including challenges, Super WhatsApp, 1:1 coaching calls, membership & audience management, event management, marketing automation, community feeds, and more.
All of these tools are there to help you monetize and manage a community, but you can pick and choose which tools you use.
You can decide to use Nas.io Challenges while keeping another system for marketing automation. But the more Nas.io tools you use, the more you can manage and monetize.
@dimitrie_baitanciuc Thank you! I see you have one coming up also. You can CHALLENGE your clients to build their businesses, starting with an easy website that users your AI builder :)
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!

@alex_dwek Alex, thank you for working so hard on this product.
Like you say, challenges are faster and easier to launch than courses.
They are a really good way to introduce people to a community.
And they help people truly get results.
Like I've said before,
If I can help someone improve their lives by just 5%, that is a BIG deal to them.
Challenges do that by focusing on something attainable, and doing it with the support of a community.
@alex_dwek Great breakdown of why the Challenge feature was built as it was and the powerful ways you can use it. I also saw your LinkedIn post and you made me very motivated to stop making excuses and start exercising again.
@nuseir_yassin1 Absolutely. Our 6 month company fitness challenge is the perfect example, and also the recent Spirituality challenge you've been running as well!
Congratulations on the successful launch! I'm open to discussing a potential collaboration. Could you please let me know how I can get in touch with you?
Heyooo People, this is Paavan. I've worked with a lot of creators who do Challenge led monetization and trust me on this, the results are CRAZY!!!
So, here is a quick setup easy to do playbook for you!
1. I've seen people broadly do 2 types of challenges:
⚡️ Content Led Challenges
⚡️ Habit Building Challenges
Content Led challenges are essentially a better way to run a course. Get your content ready, invite your audience, keep them accountable and are good to go! But, that's a lot of work, No?
So, for you... let's make a habit building challenge.
▪️ Identify something in your niche that you do daily:
ex - If you do Yoga, this can be Suryanamaskar
- If you are a creator this can be creating a video
- If you are into mindfulness this could be meditation.
▪️ Help people develop a habit for the same
ex - This could be a 30 day Suryanamaskar challenge like this one - ( https://nas.io/anitabokepalli/ch... )
- This could be a 21 day sleep early challenge - (https://nas.io/powerwarriorclub/...)
- This could also be a 14 day 5k walking challenge- (https://nas.io/nourish-with-simr...)
🎯 Now here is the Value Proposition 🎯
- You help people develop a habit that they've been struggling with from sometime
- You keep them accountable and introduce them to like minded peers
- And if you happen to provide them some resource/content to help them along the way that would be a PLUS!
And that's challenges for YOU 🌟
Trying it out will take 10 mins max and might 10x your month's revenue, so why not? And if you happen to make good money,
Do let me know, I'll drop my address in the DM for you to send me some Coffee ☕️
@paavan_singh Paavan hits it out of the park! Thanks for all these examples. This comment will be really helpful for anyone who wants to get inspiration for building their own challenge.
@paavan_singh thank you for sharing those links of existing challenges creators host! I might steal some ideas ;)
This definitely seems like it has a lot of potential, especially when it comes to market research. Congrats on your launch!!
@benjamin_sloutsky Curious how you plan to use it for market research. That wasn't a use case I considered.
Love that your empowering the community. I hope to see this product on top as product of the day 💪🚀
