The fear every teacher has when switching platforms is the same: will my people follow me? After three moves in five years, I finally landed somewhere that treated that question as theirs to solve, not mine.
Own the relationship first
Babage gives you your member list and your emails from day one. You can export anytime. That single fact changes how a migration feels — you are inviting people into a better room, not handing them to a landlord.
I kept my list, kept my voice, and finally have a paycheck that matches the work.
Lead with the practice, not the platform
Tell your community what's better for them — better video, a real library, a teacher who's getting paid fairly enough to keep showing up. The platform is a detail. The practice is the reason they came.
