We are doing an experiment. We’re asking you to Pay What You Can Afford for the support of a Shelper (the world’s best accountability buddy) and the motivation you gain from your fellow group members.

We want to support more people, and we also want to continue pay our Shelpers the money they deserve for the amazing work they do. Please sign up, you can tell us how much you can afford per month, and that’s what you’ll pay.

Please reach out to us with any feedback at hi [at] shelpful.com.

All the best,

Sharon & Lydia (Shelpful founders)

You Don’t Have to Do it Alone

Call it accountability, call it positive-peer pressure, call it community, call it helpful. Shelpful Groups can support you.

Need someone to politely call you out when you don’t get sh*t done?

You get matched with a group of members with similar needs, PLUS an all-star “Shelper” (your real-human accountability coach, who will drive the group forward).

Your Shelper will nudge you, your fellow group members will cheer you on and hold you accountable for what you want to get done. Whatever it is you’re trying to do, chances are there’s a few people trying to do the same.

How it Works

  • 1. 🚀 Once we get 3 signups, the group can start!

    You all confirm you are "in" and pay the monthly membership (covered by our happiness policy)

  • 2. 💬Your Shelper (the accountability coach) will kick off the Group Text thread

    They'll set the tone of when check ins will happen, and they’ll get everyone jazzed to hit their goals.

  • 3. ✅ Report into the Group on Progress, Your Shelper Will Keep things Moving

    Each day, your Shelper will prompt you all to report back on your progress on the group text. Group members can also cry out if they need a pep talk, if they don't feel up to it that day. This is where the support really comes in.

Who are the “Shelpers?”

You know that one friend you have? That really good listener who always remembers the little details? They have a way of making you feel special and cared for?

That’s who we’ve brought on as Shelpers.

Because Shelpers chat with you from their phone, we have people from business backgrounds, teaching, hair styling, stay-at-home parents, the list goes on.

The first Shelpers were actually our own founders ♥️ Because they are those friends too.

“If you think you’re alone in what you’re trying to get done… You’re not. There are others like you who are trying to do the same things, and they can be there for you and with you.”

— Sharon, co-founder of Shelpful

FAQs

How much will it cost?

For this group: we’re trying Pay What You Can: anywhere from $12-32. This is an experiment. Let us know what you think!

How many people will be in each group?

3-5 people.

Is this all over Text Message?

Nobody can EVER see your phone number. Our Shelpful technology works over text message (all texts will come from dedicated Group phone number). Our members LOVE that Shelpful operates on text message. It makes it hard to ignore your goals when it’s not just another app notification. The Shelper for your group will set some boundaries on times-of-day folks can message, etc.

What if I want to have a dedicated Shelper and participate in a group.

You can definitely do this! And it’s a great option for someone who thrives on a bit of peer pressure for some areas of life, but also wants support / help / reminder / to-do management as well.

What if I want to participate anonymously?

Nobody can EVER see your phone number (that’s the universal setting, so you’ll never have to worry about that.) You can also choose the name that appears in the group chat, so you can go by a nickname, initials, etc.

Is there a free trial for Shelpful Groups (beta)

We can’t effectively have each group member do a free trial of the group. BUT you are welcome to sign up for our regular free trial here, and if you like the vibe of Shelpful, you can choose to pursue a group instead of a solo-Shelpful membership. Our happiness policy means that we’ll do all we can to make sure Shelpful is really helping you. Ping us anytime at hi@shelpful.com.
