Question on: Meetup Pro
[What will it cost me to setup a meetup group for each of ten different towns](/discussions/what-will-it-cost-me-to-setup-a-meetup-group-for-each-of-ten-different-towns)

I have a meetup account where I pay $19 a month (paid 6 monthly) that allows me to run three groups. It used to be that I had to pay $10 a month for any extra groups above three. It seems I now have to upgrade to Meetup Pro to have more than three now. Does this mean it will cost me $300 a month to run ten meetup groups?

Question on: Instagram for Business
[What are the benefits and challenges of using Instagram for Business, and what strategies have you found most effective?](/discussions/what-are-the-benefits-and-challenges-of-using-instagram-for-business-and-what-strategies-have-you-found-most-effective)

What are the benefits and challenges of using Instagram for Business, and what strategies have you found most effective?

You can create reels with hooks to showcase and promote your products. If you are dealing with product that targets young audience, Instagram can be a growth machine 

Answered: Prem Patel on December 9, 2025

I think using Instagram for Business has positive and negative aspects. It's great because you can get the blue check and be verified if you want. It allows for more tracking and insight and posts you create. It gets a little tricky when you have a business that has multiple locations with separate accounts because you are only allowed to have two verified accounts.
