We may over complicate things, 45 00:03:00.710 --> 00:03:02.570 and this provides a way 46 00:03:03.095 --> 00:03:04.314 to remove roadblocks 47 00:03:05.334 --> 00:03:05.834 and 48 00:03:06.295 --> 00:03:07.275 remove distractions 49 00:03:07.894 --> 00:03:09.595 to focus on your goal. 50 00:03:10.055 --> 00:03:16.715 And it really talks about how you can get from point a to point b in the most efficient manner. 51 00:03:17.210 --> 00:03:18.750 What I gained from this book 52 00:03:19.290 --> 00:03:19.790 was 53 00:03:20.170 --> 00:03:24.830 we were actually building the software, but it also has to do when you're building a company or a website. 54 00:03:25.450 --> 00:03:31.069 Instead of building everything from scratch, we repurposed a lot of the things that we had already built. 55 00:03:31.130 --> 00:03:32.670 So we were able to develop 56 00:03:33.045 --> 00:03:33.545 quicker. 57 00:03:34.004 --> 00:03:35.465 And you can apply those 58 00:03:35.765 --> 00:03:36.265 strategies 59 00:03:37.125 --> 00:03:39.305 to anything with regard to your marketing, 60 00:03:40.084 --> 00:03:40.825 with regard 61 00:03:41.125 --> 00:03:43.144 to how you're setting up your site. 62 00:03:43.844 --> 00:03:46.424 Right.

Thank you. 111 00:06:39.470 --> 00:06:41.250 So I have some questions regarding, 112 00:06:42.750 --> 00:06:43.250 SEO 113 00:06:44.585 --> 00:06:45.225 Okay. In, 114 00:06:45.945 --> 00:06:46.765 more specifically, 115 00:06:47.625 --> 00:06:49.165 let's see, under the 116 00:06:49.865 --> 00:06:51.645 custom member SEO settings. 117 00:06:52.265 --> 00:06:53.485 Gotcha. Okay. 118 00:06:53.865 --> 00:06:54.925 Let me go there, 119 00:06:55.945 --> 00:06:56.445 and 120 00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.200 let me just show everyone what you're referring to. 121 00:07:00.200 --> 00:07:03.100 So, with Brilliant Directories, you can always customize, 122 00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:04.380 your SEO, 123 00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:08.460 whether it's for all your members profile pages, your search results. 124 00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:11.925 But what's really cool about Brilliant Directories is you can also 125 00:07:12.225 --> 00:07:17.185 edit the SEO on a per member basis. So I'm just gonna edit this this member here. 126 00:07:17.185 --> 00:07:18.805 So you wanna go to search members, 127 00:07:19.345 --> 00:07:23.745 and then under quick edit is where you can, edit the SEO. Let me do one more thing. 128 00:07:23.745 --> 00:07:26.085 Let me go to their profile page as well. 129 00:07:26.490 --> 00:07:26.990 So 130 00:07:28.330 --> 00:07:30.750 when it comes to SEO and Google, 131 00:07:31.770 --> 00:07:35.130 it's really what's behind the page that's related to the SEO. 132 00:07:35.130 --> 00:07:38.865 It's obviously what's on the page as well. And I'm gonna look at the source code here. 133 00:07:39.025 --> 00:07:43.525 And most important is the title of the page. This is the title that Google reads. 134 00:07:43.824 --> 00:07:46.224 And you always want this to be keyword friendly. 135 00:07:46.224 --> 00:07:48.465 So and it is out of the box with Brilliant Directories. 136 00:07:48.465 --> 00:07:52.324 You do have the ability to inject more keywords into there. 137 00:07:52.430 --> 00:07:56.210 And then you have two more important ones. I'm gonna highlight both of them. 138 00:07:56.510 --> 00:07:57.730 The meta description, 139 00:07:58.830 --> 00:08:00.370 as well as the keywords. 140 00:08:01.630 --> 00:08:02.130 And 141 00:08:03.150 --> 00:08:10.705 keywords aren't so much more important with search engines anymore because they learn that people inject spammy keywords, 142 00:08:11.245 --> 00:08:16.065 to kind of really take advantage of that feature, but they still matter if you do it in a tasteful, 143 00:08:17.005 --> 00:08:17.985 fashion. So, 144 00:08:19.210 --> 00:08:20.750 this is how it is by default, 145 00:08:21.129 --> 00:08:21.629 Wakely. 146 00:08:22.169 --> 00:08:23.069 It does use 147 00:08:23.449 --> 00:08:25.550 the the template here. So 148 00:08:26.009 --> 00:08:27.849 I'm gonna jump around just a little bit. 149 00:08:27.849 --> 00:08:34.605 The template for profile pages, if you if you're logged in with the admin bar, you can go to edit SEO template, 150 00:08:35.304 --> 00:08:36.765 and you can set rules 151 00:08:37.464 --> 00:08:40.365 for all of your members. So 152 00:08:40.745 --> 00:08:42.345 this one's using a lot of variables. 153 00:08:42.345 --> 00:08:46.125 So it's gonna use the full name, so it would use your name Wakeley. 154 00:08:46.660 --> 00:08:48.760 The profession on this site is dentist, 155 00:08:49.300 --> 00:08:52.520 their city, and their zip code. So it will use this 156 00:08:53.460 --> 00:08:55.000 for each of your members. 157 00:08:56.020 --> 00:08:58.120 And what you're asking is, 158 00:08:59.105 --> 00:09:01.204 you can customize the SEO 159 00:09:01.824 --> 00:09:04.805 on each specific member if you go to quick edit. 160 00:09:06.225 --> 00:09:10.485 There are custom member SEO settings. Is this what you're asking? 161 00:09:11.920 --> 00:09:18.480 Well, so right there where you're at then, when I go down to typically, I would click on the load from template, it does that. 162 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:20.100 But when I go down to the, 163 00:09:20.880 --> 00:09:22.260 member page keywords 164 00:09:22.800 --> 00:09:24.580 and I load that from the template, 165 00:09:25.154 --> 00:09:26.454 I'm not so sure 166 00:09:26.834 --> 00:09:31.095 that that's always looking how it's supposed to. Sometimes there's double commas. 167 00:09:31.634 --> 00:09:32.855 Sometimes there's 168 00:09:34.915 --> 00:09:35.394 So the 169 00:09:36.195 --> 00:09:41.279 right. So Go ahead. The reason there would be double commas is let's look at the keywords here. 170 00:09:42.220 --> 00:09:44.160 So this is using the, 171 00:09:44.620 --> 00:09:45.279 the location. 172 00:09:47.420 --> 00:09:49.279 It's using the profession name. 173 00:09:49.660 --> 00:09:51.839 The profession is used a lot. 174 00:09:53.075 --> 00:09:55.575 It's using the profession plus the full name. 175 00:09:56.195 --> 00:10:08.490 If you wanted to change this just for all your members, so you just have to do it once and it's done, and it uses the same formula, let's call it a formula, SEO formula for all your members, you utilizing all those juicy 176 00:10:08.970 --> 00:10:09.450 keywords, 177 00:10:09.770 --> 00:10:11.070 you don't need to 178 00:10:11.529 --> 00:10:12.029 really 179 00:10:12.649 --> 00:10:15.070 edit this custom member SEO settings. 180 00:10:15.290 --> 00:10:18.810 This is really if you just wanna add something on a per member basis. 181 00:10:18.810 --> 00:10:22.964 And if you have hundreds or thousands of members, it's not practical to 182 00:10:23.425 --> 00:10:28.485 customize the SEO for each individual members. It's nice to come up with a smart formula, 183 00:10:30.064 --> 00:10:33.925 for the SEO settings and do it on the on the mass template basis 184 00:10:34.350 --> 00:10:35.490 rather than the 185 00:10:35.950 --> 00:10:38.370 individual member basis. Okay. 186 00:10:40.670 --> 00:10:49.170 So the the best place to to edit this and again, you wanna use the member's metadata, like their name, their phone number, their ZIP code, their location, 187 00:10:49.945 --> 00:10:51.305 what their specialties are. 188 00:10:51.305 --> 00:10:56.204 You wanna use those variables, so that way no matter what member it is, it's using a combination 189 00:10:56.505 --> 00:11:01.245 of, you know, their full name, their profession, which is the top level category actually, 190 00:11:01.880 --> 00:11:05.100 and things like that. That way no matter what the member inputs, 191 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:11.320 it's a nice formula for for the SEO of your website, for the profile pages, as well as the search results. 192 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:15.340 All the pages of your website can can use this temp a smart template 193 00:11:15.705 --> 00:11:17.245 to create a good quality, 194 00:11:17.705 --> 00:11:19.485 SEO formula for your website. 195 00:11:20.345 --> 00:11:23.865 Okay. So then so all of the the specialties, let's say, those, 196 00:11:24.425 --> 00:11:27.725 that would go under the page meta title or the meta keywords? 197 00:11:27.950 --> 00:11:31.570 So what you wanna do, I would focus on the the top level category 198 00:11:31.950 --> 00:11:34.610 because if someone has, like, 30 specialties, 199 00:11:35.390 --> 00:11:41.010 it's gonna it's gonna reflect a spam to Google. That's what I was talking about when you wanna have 200 00:11:41.475 --> 00:11:43.894 you wanna have about four to six keywords 201 00:11:44.355 --> 00:11:44.855 maximum 202 00:11:45.315 --> 00:11:46.694 for for your keywords. 203 00:11:47.074 --> 00:11:51.334 When you start having like 200 keywords, I'm just I'm just using an exaggeration, 204 00:11:51.875 --> 00:11:56.040 it doesn't add value, and that's what a lot of online marketers started doing. 205 00:11:57.000 --> 00:12:03.579 So they just the search engines give a little bit less value to what the the meta keywords are for for pages. 206 00:12:04.040 --> 00:12:05.740 What's even what's more important 207 00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:09.740 is the content on the page. Google's looking for a good user experience. 208 00:12:09.800 --> 00:12:12.615 So if people are coming to this profile page 209 00:12:13.235 --> 00:12:16.295 and, you know, there's Google knows when users are scrolling. 210 00:12:16.435 --> 00:12:19.255 If people are scrolling, if people are clicking, 211 00:12:21.075 --> 00:12:23.415 Google values a good user experience 212 00:12:23.795 --> 00:12:24.295 over, 213 00:12:24.730 --> 00:12:25.310 you know, 214 00:12:25.770 --> 00:12:31.470 just perfectly perfectly set up SEO on your site with keywords and and descriptions and things like that. 215 00:12:31.850 --> 00:12:35.870 They do matter, but Google's looking more for providing a good user experience. 216 00:12:36.330 --> 00:12:40.595 So it's always good to think about the website visitor first and then the SEO 217 00:12:40.895 --> 00:12:41.935 structure second. 218 00:12:41.935 --> 00:12:46.435 And they they go hand in hand, but you always wanna give a good user experience above all. 219 00:12:47.935 --> 00:12:53.235 Okay. And then I apologize. Could you go back to where you pointed out the the master template? 220 00:12:53.980 --> 00:12:54.720 Sure. So 221 00:12:55.180 --> 00:13:00.560 if you go to your site from here, you can click on visit website, and then it takes you to your home page. 222 00:13:00.940 --> 00:13:03.120 You'll you'll get this nifty admin, 223 00:13:03.660 --> 00:13:07.685 bar in the bot the the side here, this dark gray admin bar. 224 00:13:07.745 --> 00:13:12.645 And whenever you're on a page and you wanna find out, okay, what's the the global 225 00:13:13.265 --> 00:13:19.845 SEO template that's controlling my profile pages or search results, you can click on edit SEO template. 226 00:13:20.580 --> 00:13:29.860 And if it's a dynamic page, meaning it's a page that's created by the system, like a search results or a member profile page, it'll have an SEO template. 227 00:13:29.860 --> 00:13:31.160 You just click on this. 228 00:13:31.540 --> 00:13:33.640 It'll take you into the admin area. 229 00:13:34.775 --> 00:13:42.315 And then what you wanna edit for your profile pages are basically these three things here, your page meta title, keyword, and description. 230 00:13:43.175 --> 00:13:44.875 What's even more fun is 231 00:13:45.175 --> 00:13:48.475 there is a section for social media sharing right below. 232 00:13:49.170 --> 00:13:52.630 So let's say someone's gonna share that profile page on Facebook. 233 00:13:52.930 --> 00:14:01.830 You can actually control what the title is of of the page that shows in Facebook, because Facebook's gonna try to figure out what the title of the page is, as well as the description. 234 00:14:02.654 --> 00:14:03.154 So, 235 00:14:03.935 --> 00:14:08.035 these two are really good for adding a little more control for social media sharing. 236 00:14:10.334 --> 00:14:10.834 Alright. 237 00:14:11.214 --> 00:14:13.154 Thank you for your question, Wigley. Alright. 238 00:14:14.095 --> 00:14:15.075 Yep. Thank you. 239 00:14:15.615 --> 00:14:17.555 Alright. Good question there about 240 00:14:19.750 --> 00:14:20.709 SEO.

So, 246 00:14:44.410 --> 00:14:50.190 I changed up the menu to be more of a service oriented as opposed to a package oriented. 247 00:14:50.730 --> 00:14:51.230 Meaning, 248 00:14:52.250 --> 00:14:53.610 they're not so much, 249 00:14:54.089 --> 00:14:57.389 the package isn't geared towards a membership levels 250 00:14:57.945 --> 00:14:59.085 as opposed to, 251 00:15:00.345 --> 00:15:01.325 types of services 252 00:15:02.345 --> 00:15:03.085 that are, 253 00:15:03.465 --> 00:15:05.405 for instance, website design, 254 00:15:06.425 --> 00:15:07.225 that sort of thing. 255 00:15:07.225 --> 00:15:11.565 You know, website, like Do you mind before Do do you mind if we take time to your site? 256 00:15:12.800 --> 00:15:15.460 No. Go ahead.

I think I did a few of them. There you go. 314 00:18:54.435 --> 00:18:57.335 So those are getting a lot. Let me just finish the last few for you. 315 00:18:57.850 --> 00:19:01.630 So there's a few things going on with your site, and I understand it's a work in progress. 316 00:19:02.570 --> 00:19:03.710 I didn't understand 317 00:19:04.330 --> 00:19:06.590 who or what your site was for, 318 00:19:07.769 --> 00:19:09.870 unless I looked at that hammer in the logo. 319 00:19:11.965 --> 00:19:12.465 Right. 320 00:19:12.845 --> 00:19:14.865 Right. One of the biggest hurdles, 321 00:19:16.125 --> 00:19:18.785 with websites, especially directory sites, is 322 00:19:19.245 --> 00:19:24.304 speaking to your audience and making sure that the message about who you are 323 00:19:24.830 --> 00:19:29.970 is is coming through. Because you can have a website that has all the functionality in the world, 324 00:19:30.510 --> 00:19:32.130 but if no one understands 325 00:19:32.990 --> 00:19:36.130 who who the site is for, whether they belong or not, 326 00:19:36.750 --> 00:19:40.475 then then you're gonna miss the mark with acquiring both consumer 327 00:19:40.935 --> 00:19:46.475 visitors who you want to fill out this form and professional members that you want to join your website. 328 00:19:46.935 --> 00:19:50.315 Let me fix your form here, and then I'm gonna make a recommendation for you. 329 00:19:50.695 --> 00:19:51.655 So what I'm doing is, 330 00:19:52.535 --> 00:19:53.835 what you wanna do 331 00:19:54.390 --> 00:19:57.830 when you create a a form is and not not many people know this. 332 00:19:57.830 --> 00:20:03.750 In the CSS class, you wanna put form hyphen control, and that's what gives it that pretty look. 333 00:20:03.750 --> 00:20:06.890 So all I'm doing is I'm opening out your form fields here, 334 00:20:07.635 --> 00:20:08.135 and, 335 00:20:09.635 --> 00:20:10.535 let's see here. 336 00:20:11.955 --> 00:20:12.775 Form control. 337 00:20:14.195 --> 00:20:17.175 And it looks like you've done everything correctly otherwise. 338 00:20:18.435 --> 00:20:22.455 I'm just gonna finish the last few. Oh, you have it here. So let's just save it there. 339 00:20:22.675 --> 00:20:25.470 And what I wanna defer to is actually 340 00:20:26.250 --> 00:20:28.350 it's a premium webinar that we did. 341 00:20:29.290 --> 00:20:31.630 Let me show you where that is.

So 361 00:21:39.415 --> 00:21:40.395 in this example, 362 00:21:40.935 --> 00:21:43.835 the site is trying to appeal to 363 00:21:44.950 --> 00:21:46.970 interior designers to join the network, 364 00:21:47.750 --> 00:21:50.490 as well as consumers who want to 365 00:21:50.950 --> 00:21:52.570 contact designers for projects. 366 00:21:53.269 --> 00:21:54.809 So you That's nice. Yeah. 367 00:21:55.429 --> 00:21:56.330 So, you know, 368 00:21:57.184 --> 00:22:00.965 I I think this can even be done better. But when you come to the home page, 369 00:22:01.665 --> 00:22:05.525 you know, it it's very up here it says designers hyphen join our network. 370 00:22:05.745 --> 00:22:09.605 See little things like that. Instead of just get listed to say, you could say contractors 371 00:22:09.905 --> 00:22:11.525 hyphen get listed today. 372 00:22:12.030 --> 00:22:15.010 And Mhmm. Those little things with the text, 373 00:22:15.390 --> 00:22:18.590 and then all it is is verbiage. Just the words on your site Right. 374 00:22:18.670 --> 00:22:23.250 Are is gonna is gonna make your site sink or swim. It's very important. So, 375 00:22:23.950 --> 00:22:28.034 let me put the link to this site as an example so everyone can check out this site. 376 00:22:28.034 --> 00:22:29.815 I'll put this in the chat for everyone. 377 00:22:31.235 --> 00:22:32.855 There's a there's a chat here. 378 00:22:33.475 --> 00:22:36.215 And what I would recommend doing is, 379 00:22:37.715 --> 00:22:38.215 joining 380 00:22:38.515 --> 00:22:42.590 joining the, VIP add ons club. I I think I lost the page. 381 00:22:44.250 --> 00:22:44.750 And 382 00:22:45.050 --> 00:22:49.850 getting access to these premium workshop videos. Because in your case, you have a great idea. 383 00:22:49.850 --> 00:22:53.070 There's contractors. They don't have time to manage their online presence. 384 00:22:53.690 --> 00:22:54.190 And 385 00:22:54.735 --> 00:22:56.675 if you can set this site up correctly, 386 00:22:57.695 --> 00:23:03.875 and and just do a little bit of marketing and the right verbiage on the site, you're gonna convert the people who come to this site. 387 00:23:04.975 --> 00:23:06.434 Mhmm. Because I didn't understand 388 00:23:07.050 --> 00:23:09.470 who these plans were. If these were for the consumers 389 00:23:09.850 --> 00:23:11.470 or if these were for the contractors, 390 00:23:11.930 --> 00:23:15.870 I like what you wrote up here, but the names of the plans really didn't 391 00:23:17.130 --> 00:23:19.150 tell me what to do. I like what the plans 392 00:23:19.545 --> 00:23:21.725 are are offering. I just don't know 393 00:23:22.185 --> 00:23:23.165 who they're for, 394 00:23:23.705 --> 00:23:25.805 or Right. Knowing what I need. 395 00:23:25.865 --> 00:23:29.165 I wanted to show you a cool trick though, and then and I'll get to the next question. 396 00:23:29.465 --> 00:23:32.365 So with Brilliant Directories, you wanna offer your members, 397 00:23:32.745 --> 00:23:34.205 their own websites. Right? 398 00:23:34.810 --> 00:23:39.310 Okay. Right. Let's take this person for example, Bertola Custom Homes. 399 00:23:39.930 --> 00:23:45.450 So this page is kinda like a website for them, except it's got your dang logo up here in your footer. 400 00:23:45.450 --> 00:23:51.045 Right? Other than that, it's pretty much a page because It's it's dedicated only to them. 401 00:23:51.045 --> 00:23:55.365 And if they don't have a website or anything, this is a highly valuable page for them. 402 00:23:55.365 --> 00:23:58.265 Let me show you a cool trick you can do with grilling directories, 403 00:23:59.285 --> 00:24:00.985 for different membership levels. 404 00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:06.940 So let's let's, edit this featured membership level. So Bertola is a featured member, 405 00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:09.019 and then I'll revert this. 406 00:24:09.080 --> 00:24:19.025 What you can do without any coding under additional settings for the membership level, the product, if if you scroll down, what you can do is hide the website header 407 00:24:19.485 --> 00:24:21.425 and hide the website footer. 408 00:24:21.805 --> 00:24:23.665 And I'm just gonna save that temporarily. 409 00:24:25.565 --> 00:24:28.385 And what that's gonna do let me refresh the page. 410 00:24:32.670 --> 00:24:37.730 Now just with no clicks, now there's just a debt that your your logo is gone from here. 411 00:24:38.190 --> 00:24:40.210 There's even ways to remove the breadcrumbs. 412 00:24:41.150 --> 00:24:46.145 And this is theoretically now a dedicated page just for this member. 413 00:24:46.765 --> 00:24:52.465 There's no footer Mhmm. And there's no header. So without any coding, you can offer premium members, 414 00:24:53.725 --> 00:24:58.765 I I guess, an unbranded website, you know, on your on your site. So that's just another idea Right. 415 00:24:58.845 --> 00:25:00.865 For you, that I see people 416 00:25:01.240 --> 00:25:02.460 offering some of their members. 417 00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:04.460 Alright. 418 00:25:04.919 --> 00:25:08.279 Yeah. No. That that's a much cleaner look. Yep. Alright. Yeah. 419 00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:12.200 I mean, my my information doesn't need to be on there. That's their page. Right. 420 00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:16.600 Basically May maybe for your free members, you don't do that, but for higher members, you do do that. 421 00:25:16.600 --> 00:25:19.275 So I I think you have a great vision and concept. 422 00:25:19.655 --> 00:25:22.315 I think it's gonna come down to the messaging 423 00:25:22.615 --> 00:25:23.515 of and 424 00:25:23.895 --> 00:25:28.715 being able to resonate and relate to the potential members and your website visitors. 425 00:25:29.575 --> 00:25:32.235 Alright. Good question from Teresa. I've seen 426 00:25:33.150 --> 00:25:36.990 sites that have great concepts, but the messaging is just 427 00:25:37.550 --> 00:25:39.010 it's it's incorrect. And 428 00:25:39.470 --> 00:25:40.770 with some small tweaks, 429 00:25:41.630 --> 00:25:46.350 you can really, you know, convert more visitors into paying members and and joining your site. 430 00:25:46.350 --> 00:25:56.325 So be be aware of the text on your site and show your site to friends and family and and just show it to them and say, tell me what you think this site this website is for. 431 00:25:56.465 --> 00:25:57.605 And if they're confused, 432 00:25:58.305 --> 00:26:00.245 then something is wrong with your messaging. 433 00:26:00.840 --> 00:26:03.020 If they can say, oh, this is a site where 434 00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:07.179 contractors can get help with their online presence, 435 00:26:08.120 --> 00:26:10.539 that's great. Then then you know you have clear messaging. 436 00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:13.419 Alright. We'll go to Tanya. 437 00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:15.740 Tanya, I've unmuted your microphone. 438 00:26:18.065 --> 00:26:21.184 Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Sure thing.

Thank you. That was helpful. Alright. And then let me get your pricing page set up. 519 00:30:50.830 --> 00:30:51.570 That's actually, 520 00:30:52.030 --> 00:30:52.850 pretty simple. 521 00:30:53.950 --> 00:30:59.845 Give me one The thing while you're setting up my pricing page, the thing about it is no one's gonna pay at all. 522 00:30:59.905 --> 00:31:03.605 We have I think we have three membership levels right now, 523 00:31:03.905 --> 00:31:05.924 but they are all free. So 524 00:31:07.184 --> 00:31:11.125 until we can get the site up and going, and then we might add some paid members 525 00:31:11.850 --> 00:31:16.110 So what's a really good strategy is letting people have a paid option 526 00:31:16.650 --> 00:31:18.490 and have people sign up for free. 527 00:31:18.490 --> 00:31:23.070 And people who have the first people who join your site who have completed their profiles, 528 00:31:23.370 --> 00:31:25.150 you know, Patrick always recommends, 529 00:31:25.765 --> 00:31:27.705 who's on the the webinars with us normally, 530 00:31:28.325 --> 00:31:30.105 calling those members and establishing 531 00:31:30.405 --> 00:31:31.145 a relationship. 532 00:31:32.885 --> 00:31:33.385 So 533 00:31:34.165 --> 00:31:42.870 you what you can do is you can upgrade them for free for life to your paid membership level, and those people are gonna turn into super fans of your website. 534 00:31:44.290 --> 00:31:50.070 So, you know, although they're signing up for free, you can really turn them into evangelists of your site, 535 00:31:50.530 --> 00:31:53.395 by just upgrading them to your paid level for free. 536 00:31:53.395 --> 00:31:56.695 So that that's always an option for you to do that as well. 537 00:31:57.475 --> 00:32:02.595 So Okay. By the way, good job putting your own custom widget here, early access form. 538 00:32:02.595 --> 00:32:05.155 This is a a widget you added yourself.

Okay. 542 00:32:18.830 --> 00:32:20.210 Now let's save the changes, 543 00:32:22.545 --> 00:32:23.045 And 544 00:32:25.665 --> 00:32:26.165 let's 545 00:32:27.025 --> 00:32:30.885 see here. Did you delete the form, the paid sign up form as well? 546 00:32:31.265 --> 00:32:32.085 Let's see. 547 00:32:32.545 --> 00:32:36.545 I don't I mean, the the No. I don't think I would have deleted it. Alright. Let's check it out. 548 00:32:36.545 --> 00:32:37.285 No problem. 549 00:32:39.429 --> 00:32:42.809 We still have your pricing page here. Let me see if there's anything in it. 550 00:32:49.190 --> 00:32:52.570 Alright. It looks like you've deleted everything in your pricing page. 551 00:32:52.995 --> 00:32:56.775 Uh-oh. This the Okay. People place, people listing, is that what that is? 552 00:32:58.195 --> 00:33:03.095 So, yeah, we have different membership site. There are, there are businesses and there are people. 553 00:33:03.715 --> 00:33:04.855 Right. Right. Right. 554 00:33:05.750 --> 00:33:10.650 So usually for the people, those are like general users that you want to be registered into your site. 555 00:33:11.350 --> 00:33:14.310 Is that correct? Yes. So Yes. There is always, 556 00:33:14.710 --> 00:33:16.790 a membership level for general users. 557 00:33:16.790 --> 00:33:20.250 Those are people who might wanna bookmark or favorite some of the members. 558 00:33:20.855 --> 00:33:22.075 Let me see here. 559 00:33:25.655 --> 00:33:28.235 Okay. So you've created a lot of 560 00:33:28.855 --> 00:33:31.595 membership levels here, and none of them are being shown 561 00:33:32.055 --> 00:33:33.435 on on your website. 562 00:33:33.975 --> 00:33:36.075 But you do have members listed in them. 563 00:33:37.300 --> 00:33:40.040 I see you're using the claim. You're listing here. 564 00:33:40.660 --> 00:33:42.420 Let me think what the best thing to do is. 565 00:33:42.420 --> 00:33:49.960 If you wanna email the support team and tell them to restore your your the pricing page that comes default with your site, 566 00:33:50.555 --> 00:33:54.735 first of all, that will get it to show on your your pricing page. 567 00:33:55.035 --> 00:33:55.755 And Okay. 568 00:33:55.995 --> 00:34:01.535 Number two is then you can start working in the different plans that you want to promote and advertise. 569 00:34:03.400 --> 00:34:03.900 Okay. 570 00:34:04.440 --> 00:34:07.660 So so the general user account comes with all the sites. 571 00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:10.300 Let me see here. 572 00:34:11.159 --> 00:34:12.860 Let me show you what that looks like. 573 00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:15.820 So 574 00:34:17.094 --> 00:34:21.975 when you come here, you can see, like, not a registered user, create a free user account. 575 00:34:21.975 --> 00:34:25.435 That's kinda your general user. You don't really need them on your pricing page. 576 00:34:25.735 --> 00:34:27.275 You can have them to register. 577 00:34:27.815 --> 00:34:34.049 What I what I would recommend to you, I think it'll it'll help you a lot and there's a lot of value because you have a lot of membership levels here. 578 00:34:34.049 --> 00:34:37.510 There's a lot of things up in the air, and I know that your time is valuable. 579 00:34:38.210 --> 00:34:39.269 What I would recommend 580 00:34:40.609 --> 00:34:41.109 is, 581 00:34:41.569 --> 00:34:45.764 a website audit review because you have your vision in place. It looks like you just need some help, 582 00:34:46.404 --> 00:34:47.704 setting stuff up. 583 00:34:48.164 --> 00:34:48.664 And 584 00:34:49.444 --> 00:34:52.404 let me show you what that is. It's a one hour call with our team, and it's 585 00:34:53.284 --> 00:34:55.304 you really get a lot done in that call. 586 00:34:57.444 --> 00:34:58.825 You can use the promo 587 00:34:59.125 --> 00:35:00.904 use the promo club fifty. 588 00:35:01.370 --> 00:35:04.730 It'll get you guys on the webinar if you guys are watching and you want this. 589 00:35:04.730 --> 00:35:08.510 And I'll show you what it is.

Let's continue, 602 00:36:02.600 --> 00:36:03.820 with the questions here. 603 00:36:04.280 --> 00:36:05.900 Darren, I've unmuted your microphone. 604 00:36:07.160 --> 00:36:10.140 Yeah. Hi, Jason. Can you hear me? Yes, sir. How are you doing, Darren? 605 00:36:10.464 --> 00:36:14.165 Yeah. Good. Yourself? Very, very good. What's your question for us today? 606 00:36:14.785 --> 00:36:16.885 That's good. It's SEO related. 607 00:36:18.785 --> 00:36:21.684 I've got a couple of directory sites. 608 00:36:22.065 --> 00:36:28.260 One's still in its infancy at the moment, but the plan is to make that a national lead gen type of site. 609 00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:32.900 However, I want to start out by targeting a specific, 610 00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:36.420 suburb and niche first with it. So 611 00:36:39.065 --> 00:36:44.525 I'm actually getting a widget made up at the moment that's got a tab for the actual page so that I can, 612 00:36:45.865 --> 00:36:50.045 hide some content behind that tab to help the SEO side. I was just 613 00:36:50.424 --> 00:36:53.085 wanting to get your view on how I should set that 614 00:36:53.520 --> 00:36:56.420 page up. Yeah. Do you wanna take a look at it together? 615 00:36:58.080 --> 00:36:58.900 Yeah. Sure. 616 00:36:59.520 --> 00:37:00.020 It's, 617 00:37:00.720 --> 00:37:02.080 wowe. 618 00:37:02.240 --> 00:37:06.100 It's w0we.com.au. 619 00:37:07.925 --> 00:37:11.065 Say it one more time? Sorry. A lot of w's in there. 620 00:37:11.525 --> 00:37:17.625 I'm sorry. That's w0we.com.au.au. 621 00:37:18.244 --> 00:37:21.705 Where is a a link to that lead page that you're trying to create? 622 00:37:23.310 --> 00:37:23.810 I'll 623 00:37:25.230 --> 00:37:27.570 find which no worries. I'll find it. 624 00:37:27.870 --> 00:37:29.490 Let me let me go to your, 625 00:37:30.510 --> 00:37:31.890 your content pages. 626 00:37:33.150 --> 00:37:33.650 Yep. 627 00:37:34.990 --> 00:37:36.530 Okay. Let's see here. 628 00:37:38.415 --> 00:37:40.915 Password reset. Test tab. Let's see here. 629 00:37:41.615 --> 00:37:43.795 It's gotta be this one, test tab page. 630 00:37:44.655 --> 00:37:45.155 Yes. 631 00:37:45.535 --> 00:37:46.035 Okay. 632 00:37:46.895 --> 00:37:47.955 I see something, 633 00:37:48.655 --> 00:37:50.115 widget slider here. 634 00:37:51.295 --> 00:37:56.330 It's not loading anything. Have you seen the work yet, if you're having someone build it for you? 635 00:37:57.270 --> 00:38:01.750 There was a small glitch with it. That's all. So it might have been taken off already. Sorry, Jason. 636 00:38:01.750 --> 00:38:02.070 But, 637 00:38:03.510 --> 00:38:05.370 Here's a test tab page. 638 00:38:07.355 --> 00:38:12.234 Well, nonetheless so you're trying to create a lead page. Let me let me go somewhere else, actually. 639 00:38:12.234 --> 00:38:14.015 Let me tell you what I recommend doing. 640 00:38:15.035 --> 00:38:21.194 So Google knows when content is hidden behind a tab, and Yep. It's not necessarily a bad thing. 641 00:38:21.194 --> 00:38:24.360 Let's let's look at this sample member as an example. So, 642 00:38:24.820 --> 00:38:32.440 this on this profile page, and it's very common, we have the overview tab, and then we have the the specialties tab and the reviews tab. 643 00:38:32.580 --> 00:38:39.694 So you're gonna have a lead form, and then in another tab is gonna be some juicy SEO content about, you know, that landing page. 644 00:38:40.555 --> 00:38:46.095 Be advised. So it's it's not a bad thing to have a tab. With that said, however, 645 00:38:46.474 --> 00:38:48.895 Google does know content that's either, 646 00:38:49.470 --> 00:38:53.710 what's called cloaked or hidden, where you can never see it even in a tab. 647 00:38:53.710 --> 00:38:57.010 And and Google actually frowns upon that and knows that that's happening. 648 00:38:57.230 --> 00:39:00.210 Sometimes people will put, for example, white font 649 00:39:00.510 --> 00:39:01.730 over a white background, 650 00:39:02.225 --> 00:39:04.145 and Google Google knows that as well. 651 00:39:04.145 --> 00:39:12.065 So people trying to put white font on a white background to kinda sneak some content onto a page, they're just blasting it with keywords and things like that. 652 00:39:12.065 --> 00:39:15.839 Google is smart enough to know the contrast between letters and the background. 653 00:39:16.619 --> 00:39:19.200 So Mhmm. Again, the the term is called cloaking. 654 00:39:19.900 --> 00:39:24.640 What I would recommend let me go to our lead our new lead gen demo site. 655 00:39:25.339 --> 00:39:28.935 And Yeah. So there's a lead form on the homepage. That's all fine and well. 656 00:39:29.015 --> 00:39:31.675 But there is another page to get free quotes. 657 00:39:32.535 --> 00:39:33.035 And 658 00:39:33.495 --> 00:39:36.155 what I would recommend doing instead of 659 00:39:36.855 --> 00:39:37.355 maybe, 660 00:39:38.055 --> 00:39:42.720 using a tab, you could put your form on the left or right. And then 661 00:39:43.359 --> 00:39:51.460 these are just some some, confidence boosters, but you could put some friendly SEO content here on the left side of the page. 662 00:39:51.599 --> 00:39:53.040 That way, it won't be hidden. 663 00:39:53.040 --> 00:39:58.215 So and it's a lot easier to code also, for to do it yourself or to have someone do it for you. 664 00:39:59.095 --> 00:40:02.375 So Okay. This would be and I'll put this link, in the chat. 665 00:40:02.375 --> 00:40:05.115 So if anyone wanted to check out the lead gen theme, 666 00:40:05.415 --> 00:40:07.815 you can go to demobootstrap.com, 667 00:40:07.815 --> 00:40:10.555 and it is the third option here, lead gen demo. 668 00:40:11.000 --> 00:40:14.300 And I'll put a link to this page. It's the get free quotes link. 669 00:40:14.839 --> 00:40:15.339 And 670 00:40:16.200 --> 00:40:18.059 I'll just put that in the chat here. 671 00:40:20.359 --> 00:40:23.740 So this is another way to show SEO content, 672 00:40:25.405 --> 00:40:27.825 you know, instead of hiding it with tabs. 673 00:40:28.845 --> 00:40:29.345 Okay. 674 00:40:30.205 --> 00:40:31.505 Okay. So that could 675 00:40:31.965 --> 00:40:35.005 target a specific suburb as well. Is that what you're saying, Jason? 676 00:40:35.005 --> 00:40:37.585 Or is that just a general thing that would be on the 677 00:40:37.965 --> 00:40:41.480 general page? Well, you can make you can make a a landing page for it. 678 00:40:41.640 --> 00:40:44.540 What's a landing page oh, what's a suburb in your area? 679 00:40:45.480 --> 00:40:47.580 No. It could be Geelong, possibly. 680 00:40:48.520 --> 00:40:49.340 Okay. I can't. 681 00:40:49.720 --> 00:40:50.540 Is is 682 00:40:50.920 --> 00:40:52.575 Perth a a suburb? 683 00:40:53.195 --> 00:40:53.492 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 684 00:40:53.492 --> 00:40:54.015 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 685 00:40:56.555 --> 00:40:57.135 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 686 00:41:03.595 --> 00:41:04.095 Yeah. 687 00:41:04.955 --> 00:41:06.015 Yeah. Yeah 688 00:41:07.890 --> 00:41:10.849 you know, and then you can just make the page all around Perth, Perth. 689 00:41:10.849 --> 00:41:15.190 And I don't know who your professionals are, but it can be, as an example, interior designers 690 00:41:15.890 --> 00:41:16.390 or, 691 00:41:17.490 --> 00:41:17.990 locksmiths 692 00:41:18.290 --> 00:41:18.790 or 693 00:41:19.164 --> 00:41:19.664 plumbers, 694 00:41:20.204 --> 00:41:21.825 you know, whatever it might be. 695 00:41:23.244 --> 00:41:25.825 And then you just make the whole page about Perth. 696 00:41:26.684 --> 00:41:28.144 Yeah. Okay. Yep. 697 00:41:28.684 --> 00:41:30.625 Alright. Does that help a little bit? 698 00:41:31.270 --> 00:41:33.590 Yeah. It does actually. That that's what I was actually after. 699 00:41:33.590 --> 00:41:39.690 I was I was actually after targeting a specific suburb to start off with, so I just keep creating that. 700 00:41:39.830 --> 00:41:40.330 Yep. 701 00:41:40.470 --> 00:41:46.855 And then furthermore, like, when you create that page, as I mentioned earlier in the webinar, you can do the SEO meta details. 702 00:41:46.855 --> 00:41:47.635 You can, 703 00:41:48.415 --> 00:41:49.715 you know, do Perth 704 00:41:50.175 --> 00:41:50.675 Plumber 705 00:41:50.975 --> 00:41:51.475 quotes, 706 00:41:52.175 --> 00:41:55.155 you know, as the title.

How is that really different from multilisting? 723 00:42:48.495 --> 00:42:48.975 Perfect. 724 00:42:49.775 --> 00:42:50.835 So let me 725 00:42:51.455 --> 00:42:51.955 explain 726 00:42:52.255 --> 00:42:53.155 what that is. 727 00:42:55.535 --> 00:42:56.035 So 728 00:42:56.760 --> 00:43:00.060 Sheila is asking about two different add ons that we have. 729 00:43:01.160 --> 00:43:03.420 And let me just go to our add ons page. 730 00:43:04.520 --> 00:43:08.300 The two different add ons I think I explained this a little bit last week as well. 731 00:43:08.520 --> 00:43:11.385 The two different add ons she's referring to are these two, 732 00:43:11.785 --> 00:43:13.085 multi listing manager 733 00:43:15.225 --> 00:43:16.925 and multi location listings. 734 00:43:17.865 --> 00:43:19.405 Both of them are tongue twisters. 735 00:43:20.425 --> 00:43:22.525 I'll start with the multi listing manager. 736 00:43:23.305 --> 00:43:25.565 The multi listing manager enables 737 00:43:25.990 --> 00:43:29.130 a single member who is considered like the master account 738 00:43:30.070 --> 00:43:30.810 to create 739 00:43:31.590 --> 00:43:32.410 in additional 740 00:43:32.950 --> 00:43:33.450 individual 741 00:43:33.830 --> 00:43:35.530 profiles on your site. 742 00:43:35.910 --> 00:43:37.370 I'll give you a simple example. 743 00:43:37.910 --> 00:43:40.010 If I am a talent management 744 00:43:40.595 --> 00:43:42.535 agency and I have different 745 00:43:42.835 --> 00:43:44.855 talent, I have bands, models, 746 00:43:45.555 --> 00:43:46.694 actors, and actresses, 747 00:43:47.555 --> 00:43:53.095 I can have my one master account, and I can create different individual profiles 748 00:43:53.635 --> 00:43:55.174 for each of my talent, 749 00:43:56.369 --> 00:43:56.869 groups. 750 00:43:58.130 --> 00:44:04.390 If I am a real estate firm and I have multiple real estate agents, I can create individual 751 00:44:04.690 --> 00:44:09.349 profiles for each of my real estate agents, and each of them are individually 752 00:44:09.650 --> 00:44:13.965 searchable on the site. They'll have a different profile photo. They can have different addresses, 753 00:44:14.905 --> 00:44:16.125 different phone numbers, 754 00:44:16.425 --> 00:44:17.645 all different information. 755 00:44:17.785 --> 00:44:22.285 So the multi listing manager allows one master account to create additional 756 00:44:22.825 --> 00:44:25.725 listings or member profiles on your site. 757 00:44:26.859 --> 00:44:27.680 Sounds clear? 758 00:44:29.260 --> 00:44:31.359 Mhmm. Okay. Okay. The multilocation 759 00:44:31.900 --> 00:44:32.400 listings, 760 00:44:33.420 --> 00:44:35.520 if I am one single member 761 00:44:36.540 --> 00:44:37.040 and 762 00:44:37.420 --> 00:44:38.800 I actually service 763 00:44:40.155 --> 00:44:45.215 let's say I service Los Angeles and I service let's go way up north. Let's go to Sacramento. 764 00:44:46.395 --> 00:44:46.895 So 765 00:44:47.915 --> 00:44:52.795 what I can do is I have one listing. It has the same smiley profile photo and logo. 766 00:44:52.795 --> 00:44:54.335 It has the same phone number. 767 00:44:55.240 --> 00:45:00.220 But I've selected Los Angeles, and I can select that I service Sacramento. So 768 00:45:00.600 --> 00:45:01.900 with that one listing, 769 00:45:02.360 --> 00:45:07.020 when a website visitor is searching either Los Angeles or Sacramento, 770 00:45:08.145 --> 00:45:16.565 that member's listing, that individual member's listings is gonna show up in both of those searches on your website, whether it's for Sacramento or Los Angeles. 771 00:45:17.345 --> 00:45:17.845 And 772 00:45:18.385 --> 00:45:20.725 you can give your your members the ability 773 00:45:21.210 --> 00:45:24.270 to add additional zip codes they search, so it's very small. 774 00:45:24.570 --> 00:45:32.910 You can give your members the ability to select multiple states that they service, which is very large, and will give them a lot of exposure on your website. 775 00:45:34.944 --> 00:45:38.625 And you can limit the number of additional locations they can select. 776 00:45:38.625 --> 00:45:44.244 So maybe they can only add three more cities that they serve, or maybe they can add a hundred cities that they serve. 777 00:45:44.385 --> 00:45:48.029 So obviously, the more locations they select, the more visibility 778 00:45:48.329 --> 00:45:53.950 that individual profile has for searches on your website, at least location searches that is. 779 00:45:54.250 --> 00:45:54.750 So 780 00:45:55.769 --> 00:45:58.269 allowing your members to list in multiple locations 781 00:45:58.569 --> 00:46:00.990 is an incentive for them to get more visibility 782 00:46:01.555 --> 00:46:09.335 on your website, and you can charge a premium for members who get to choose additional locations that they service because they're gonna get more exposure 783 00:46:09.635 --> 00:46:10.775 throughout your directory. 784 00:46:11.475 --> 00:46:15.450 So the multi location listings is for one person to select 785 00:46:16.010 --> 00:46:20.190 other locations that they service, so they get visibility for those location searches. 786 00:46:20.730 --> 00:46:22.670 And the multi listing manager 787 00:46:23.130 --> 00:46:26.109 is for a master account to create actually 788 00:46:26.650 --> 00:46:28.510 additional individual profiles. 789 00:46:29.915 --> 00:46:31.375 Does that make sense? Okay. 790 00:46:31.835 --> 00:46:32.315 Yes. 791 00:46:32.315 --> 00:46:40.015 So now that you've set that, can you just on one of your sites, on your one of your demo sites, can you go to the member product? 792 00:46:42.715 --> 00:46:43.455 The product? 793 00:46:44.559 --> 00:46:48.020 Yeah. Member product or whatever it's called, the member section 794 00:46:48.400 --> 00:46:48.900 Okay. 795 00:46:49.599 --> 00:46:51.220 From the back end, from the admin. 796 00:46:51.760 --> 00:46:54.579 Okay. So, like, I'm logged in to John Smith here? 797 00:46:55.920 --> 00:46:56.880 Well, no. As the, 798 00:46:57.839 --> 00:46:58.339 admin 799 00:46:59.039 --> 00:46:59.539 person. 800 00:47:00.255 --> 00:47:03.714 Got it. I I think you could stay I I think you could stay here. So 801 00:47:04.255 --> 00:47:10.194 let's go service areas. I think that's where it is. That's so that's the that's the add on for 802 00:47:11.134 --> 00:47:16.590 the multi locations. So this person can now select up to three locations that you service. 803 00:47:17.290 --> 00:47:18.350 And in this case, 804 00:47:18.810 --> 00:47:24.110 this member can only add additional cities or postal codes. So they can't choose entire states. 805 00:47:24.170 --> 00:47:25.950 And what's really cool is you can choose 806 00:47:26.435 --> 00:47:30.935 the the the range of, the type of location they can add. So, 807 00:47:31.315 --> 00:47:33.335 let's do, Beverly Hills, California, 808 00:47:35.395 --> 00:47:38.675 and then I can add either the city or the ZIP code. 809 00:47:38.675 --> 00:47:42.890 Obviously, the city is a little bit bigger than the ZIP code, so I'll add the city, 810 00:47:45.430 --> 00:47:47.290 here. There it is right here. So now, 811 00:47:47.670 --> 00:47:51.530 it says I'm listed in one additional location, which is Beverly Hills, 812 00:47:51.910 --> 00:47:56.089 and then you can just continue doing the same thing. You can do New York. 813 00:47:58.835 --> 00:48:02.215 And so I didn't choose the zip code. I'll add the city of New York, 814 00:48:03.075 --> 00:48:06.055 and there it is right there. Let's try to add more than three. 815 00:48:06.435 --> 00:48:07.895 And I'll also do Denver, 816 00:48:09.875 --> 00:48:11.175 and I'll add this. 817 00:48:11.910 --> 00:48:13.130 So now I have, 818 00:48:14.069 --> 00:48:14.890 three locations. 819 00:48:15.670 --> 00:48:16.970 It should say three here. 820 00:48:17.430 --> 00:48:21.849 Let's, refresh the page. Let's make sure. Maybe there's just a delay there. 821 00:48:22.549 --> 00:48:26.329 Yep. There it is. So I'm listed in three locations. Let's try to add one more location. 822 00:48:26.694 --> 00:48:28.234 Let's do Austin, Texas. 823 00:48:29.734 --> 00:48:31.355 And if I click on add, 824 00:48:32.295 --> 00:48:36.555 it says, you have reached a limit of location. So as the website owner, 825 00:48:37.174 --> 00:48:41.849 this is real incentive for your members to get more visibility on your site. 826 00:48:41.849 --> 00:48:52.750 But also, you can use this as as a method for for upselling your members to membership levels that give them additional locations that might allow them to select an entire state. 827 00:48:53.210 --> 00:49:01.665 And, you know, like an insurance company might service an entire state or multiple states, so that would be a good application for letting people to choose entire states. 828 00:49:03.484 --> 00:49:08.224 Okay. And just one last thing to make sure that I clearly understand. If you could go 829 00:49:08.780 --> 00:49:09.020 to, 830 00:49:09.980 --> 00:49:14.320 enter this through an admin, not as the member, but as the 831 00:49:14.700 --> 00:49:19.980 admin of the entire site k. Because where it gets confusing to me. K. 832 00:49:19.980 --> 00:49:23.579 So you could just go as an admin, and then in the member 833 00:49:24.215 --> 00:49:26.475 I I guess it's in the, member product. 834 00:49:27.495 --> 00:49:31.835 Okay. Right. Right. The products for the right. Right. Okay. Let me show you that real quick. 835 00:49:34.375 --> 00:49:39.700 So how do you give how do you choose those those options? So, I went to manage products, 836 00:49:40.079 --> 00:49:42.260 and let's just edit that closing. 837 00:49:42.799 --> 00:49:45.940 Let's edit one of the let me unfreeze that there. Okay. 838 00:49:46.240 --> 00:49:50.420 So let me let me just backtrack. So we're gonna go to finance, manage products, 839 00:49:50.925 --> 00:49:54.945 and we'll edit the premium level. This is the demo site, so it's fine. 840 00:49:55.685 --> 00:49:56.185 And 841 00:49:56.925 --> 00:50:00.385 where you control that when you have the add on is under search visibility, 842 00:50:01.805 --> 00:50:07.960 and then you'll see the these options here. Max location limit. So in the example we just did, 843 00:50:08.420 --> 00:50:11.240 the gentleman can only select up to three locations. 844 00:50:12.180 --> 00:50:14.280 Okay. So that's where the limit is. 845 00:50:14.339 --> 00:50:18.520 And then the type of location, I was only able to add ZIP codes or cities, 846 00:50:18.825 --> 00:50:23.005 but you could allow them to do counties, states, or the entire country. 847 00:50:23.705 --> 00:50:24.205 So 848 00:50:24.744 --> 00:50:28.105 you can limit it to ZIP codes or cities or counties here. 849 00:50:28.105 --> 00:50:32.605 So this these two fields are what control those, what we call service areas. 850 00:50:32.870 --> 00:50:35.130 But, you know, you call it something else if you want. 851 00:50:35.990 --> 00:50:39.290 Okay. Now I understand. So I I think this 852 00:50:39.750 --> 00:50:44.090 this screen here shows in everybody's I guess it's default. 853 00:50:44.470 --> 00:50:50.805 But in terms of location types, that really has to do well, max location limit and location 854 00:50:51.345 --> 00:50:52.805 types, that has to do 855 00:50:53.265 --> 00:50:58.085 with the add ons. Is that correct? Correct. So this is this is correlated 856 00:50:58.465 --> 00:50:59.205 to having 857 00:50:59.505 --> 00:51:01.205 having that add on, the multi, 858 00:51:01.505 --> 00:51:02.005 location 859 00:51:02.385 --> 00:51:02.885 listings. 860 00:51:03.560 --> 00:51:07.100 So now I know why I was confused. I thought that it was 861 00:51:08.119 --> 00:51:09.320 okay. I alright. 862 00:51:09.320 --> 00:51:17.355 I thought it was basically getting getting your search results based on state or, you know, whatever you selected, but now I understand I have to have the add on. 863 00:51:17.355 --> 00:51:21.215 Got it. Okay. Gotcha. Great. Thank you. You're welcome. That's a great question. 864 00:51:21.275 --> 00:51:22.895 Thanks for joining us again, Sheila. 865 00:51:23.435 --> 00:51:28.015 Alright. Good question there about the add on and how it works and how it can add value, 866 00:51:28.635 --> 00:51:29.535 for your members. 867 00:51:30.500 --> 00:51:33.880 Alright. Let's keep going. I think we're doing okay on time here. 868 00:51:34.020 --> 00:51:36.280 I think we have time for one or two questions. 869 00:51:38.260 --> 00:51:40.839 Alright. Mark, I see your hand's raised there. 870 00:51:42.115 --> 00:51:42.615 Okay. 871 00:51:43.155 --> 00:51:45.975 How are you doing today? Yep. Loud and clear. Where are you calling in from today? 872 00:51:46.835 --> 00:51:48.375 Okay. I'm I'm from Indiana. 873 00:51:48.675 --> 00:51:51.095 Okay. Great. Great. Is this your first webinar? It 874 00:51:52.115 --> 00:51:53.335 is my first webinar. 875 00:51:53.395 --> 00:51:57.450 I'm one of the principals of the company, but the my partner is the one that does most of this. 876 00:51:57.450 --> 00:51:58.349 But I'm 877 00:51:58.890 --> 00:52:01.470 on the marketing side more than on the 878 00:52:02.250 --> 00:52:08.089 the back end, so I don't want to go to the website and ask a lot of questions as far as detail. 879 00:52:08.089 --> 00:52:12.734 I just have, like, therefore just boom, boom, boom question just to give it a feel and understanding. 880 00:52:13.435 --> 00:52:20.895 First of all, is this is, is can this the Brilliant be used as a CRM, or do you have to be connected to another CRM 881 00:52:21.435 --> 00:52:27.250 and transfer information of your members to that to be able to continue to serve, communicate with them. 882 00:52:27.250 --> 00:52:27.970 Yeah. So, 883 00:52:28.609 --> 00:52:31.170 Brilliant Directories, does offer some, 884 00:52:31.730 --> 00:52:32.230 CRM 885 00:52:33.569 --> 00:52:34.069 services. 886 00:52:34.450 --> 00:52:38.789 So one of them, a lot a lot of people use Brilliant Directories. They don't even make a searchable 887 00:52:39.735 --> 00:52:40.475 public directory. 888 00:52:41.335 --> 00:52:44.955 Mhmm. They just use it to manage their members in the admin area. 889 00:52:45.575 --> 00:52:47.915 And Right. You have some abilities, 890 00:52:48.535 --> 00:52:50.535 back here. Let me just k. 891 00:52:50.535 --> 00:52:54.055 One of them is, obviously, you can have different membership levels or tiers. 892 00:52:54.055 --> 00:52:57.570 So, you you know, like a non nonprofit organization, they don't necessarily 893 00:52:58.030 --> 00:53:01.730 they most likely won't have a public member directory of all their donors, 894 00:53:02.030 --> 00:53:06.050 but they can they can manage all their donors with Brilliant Directories. 895 00:53:06.110 --> 00:53:10.565 They can manage their recurring payments, they their their membership level with them. 896 00:53:10.945 --> 00:53:15.665 Another thing you can do, is send your members emails. So k. 897 00:53:15.985 --> 00:53:19.825 You can search for a member in your admin. You know, we'll look for Jennifer Cook. 898 00:53:19.825 --> 00:53:21.125 I'll just type in Cook. 899 00:53:21.530 --> 00:53:23.230 Mhmm. These are just sample members 900 00:53:23.609 --> 00:53:24.109 here. 901 00:53:24.650 --> 00:53:28.109 And what you can do is there's these actions here, 902 00:53:29.050 --> 00:53:33.525 and what you can do is you can send an email to Jennifer. K. So k. 903 00:53:33.605 --> 00:53:37.605 And we do have premade email templates. You can also create your own templates. 904 00:53:37.605 --> 00:53:41.785 So let's say her her her most recent payment was past due or, 905 00:53:42.244 --> 00:53:47.625 she wanted her login information again. There are premade templates, about 45 of them for you guys. 906 00:53:47.799 --> 00:53:51.960 Let's say you're gonna put her account on hold. There's lots of templates for different things. 907 00:53:51.960 --> 00:53:55.960 So, you know, here's an email saying your account is on hold, for whatever reason. 908 00:53:55.960 --> 00:53:57.339 So you can email members. 909 00:53:58.279 --> 00:54:00.635 Another thing you can do is you can email, 910 00:54:01.255 --> 00:54:04.075 groups of members. So there is a newsletter functionality. 911 00:54:05.015 --> 00:54:06.235 Okay. And 912 00:54:06.935 --> 00:54:09.415 it it is pretty basic, so there's no newsletters here. 913 00:54:09.415 --> 00:54:12.955 Let's there's a blue button here to a new email newsletter. 914 00:54:13.610 --> 00:54:14.110 K. 915 00:54:15.290 --> 00:54:19.450 And you would write your email first, and then you select the template you want to send. 916 00:54:19.450 --> 00:54:23.390 So you would you would do that in your email template. So you can do, like, a company newsletter. 917 00:54:24.090 --> 00:54:26.970 And then what you can do is there's different contact tags. 918 00:54:26.970 --> 00:54:30.215 So let's say you wanted to send this to all your premium members, 919 00:54:30.515 --> 00:54:32.455 you could just check your premium members, 920 00:54:32.835 --> 00:54:35.895 and it shows that there's nine nine contacts in here. 921 00:54:36.115 --> 00:54:41.280 And then you can finally do the the name, the from name. By default, it's the website's, you know, 922 00:54:41.760 --> 00:54:46.500 name. So let's say you wanted to do this, you know, ron@atsamplesite.com. 923 00:54:46.800 --> 00:54:49.620 Mhmm. And, you know, you could do, you know, Ron Smith. 924 00:54:50.480 --> 00:54:50.800 And, 925 00:54:51.440 --> 00:54:55.220 and there's a very simple settings, and then you can send your email campaign. So, 926 00:54:56.085 --> 00:54:58.565 you never have to have a public member directory. 927 00:54:58.565 --> 00:55:03.945 You can have a private one, and you can control payments, you can search for members, you can send emails, 928 00:55:04.325 --> 00:55:06.665 and those are really the the most important things. 929 00:55:07.765 --> 00:55:13.600 Right. So with with with what we have is we will have thousands and thousands of members. 930 00:55:13.760 --> 00:55:16.100 We just started that we are doing very well. 931 00:55:16.560 --> 00:55:21.060 And so is there a limit, I mean, to volume at a million numbers, for example? 932 00:55:21.200 --> 00:55:24.500 Can we communicate inside of this, and is there any issues with 933 00:55:24.880 --> 00:55:29.585 the blacklisting or whatever since they are our members? I mean, does it work fine with that? 934 00:55:29.805 --> 00:55:34.605 Well, what I would recommend is so the system allows for a certain number of emails to be sent each day. 935 00:55:34.605 --> 00:55:36.365 I think the limit is 1,500. 936 00:55:36.365 --> 00:55:40.125 If you're gonna be Okay. If you're gonna be dealing with with millions of members, 937 00:55:40.950 --> 00:55:43.690 you do have the ability to export your member lists. 938 00:55:44.230 --> 00:55:45.430 I'll show you that in a second. 939 00:55:45.430 --> 00:55:50.010 But what I would recommend is is using, like, a third party like Mailchimp or Aweber 940 00:55:50.550 --> 00:55:58.005 to well, if you're gonna send that many email blasts, you're gonna get better reporting because that's their job is to do email marketing and deliverability 941 00:55:58.305 --> 00:55:59.765 and things like that. So, 942 00:56:00.305 --> 00:56:06.644 what I would recommend is you can do a search for, you know, let's say you wanted to do all your, Los Angeles members 943 00:56:07.250 --> 00:56:08.470 that are premium 944 00:56:08.770 --> 00:56:09.750 membership levels. 945 00:56:10.450 --> 00:56:14.609 Right. And you can do a search. I don't know if that's gonna bring any results on this demo site. 946 00:56:14.609 --> 00:56:17.589 So there's two members here, but let's say you had, like, 2,000. 947 00:56:17.730 --> 00:56:19.589 You can export the search results. 948 00:56:20.335 --> 00:56:20.835 Mhmm. 949 00:56:22.255 --> 00:56:28.835 And when you export it, now you know you have a list of California premium members, and then you can import that list into, 950 00:56:29.455 --> 00:56:34.115 like a Mailchimp or Aweber, and you can do your Gotcha. You know, your your more formal marketing, 951 00:56:34.655 --> 00:56:35.795 through there. Okay. 952 00:56:36.600 --> 00:56:40.200 So as long as we're doing 1,500 emails or less per day, we're okay. 953 00:56:40.200 --> 00:56:43.820 When we get the larger the debt, then we need to consider the export. Exactly. 954 00:56:44.120 --> 00:56:46.060 Sounds like a good problem to have them. 955 00:56:46.760 --> 00:56:49.180 Exactly. That's what we trust and we believe. 956 00:56:49.720 --> 00:56:51.340 And and I we are premium 957 00:56:52.655 --> 00:56:53.135 member. 958 00:56:53.135 --> 00:56:59.135 And so where do I go to learn the most about anything I need to to to do as far as inside the system? 959 00:56:59.135 --> 00:57:03.395 Cool. So, in the admin area, we do have a support center drop down here. 960 00:57:03.855 --> 00:57:08.870 And Mhmm. You can go to our documentation, which is pretty much like a user's manual, 961 00:57:09.490 --> 00:57:10.470 for it. K. 962 00:57:10.850 --> 00:57:14.790 What I recommend also if you're just getting started, the video tutorials, 963 00:57:16.050 --> 00:57:16.450 Mhmm. 964 00:57:16.850 --> 00:57:20.985 There's a there's a lot of videos here. A lot of them are more for setting up your initial site 965 00:57:21.465 --> 00:57:24.185 and Okay. Getting you in the mindset. They're they're separated. 966 00:57:24.185 --> 00:57:27.085 Like, the quick launch series is how to set up your site 967 00:57:28.025 --> 00:57:28.845 Mhmm. Quickly. 968 00:57:29.225 --> 00:57:32.185 The launch plan series is, like, how to think about your site. 969 00:57:32.185 --> 00:57:37.819 It's more theoretical of how you're gonna conceptualize your site with categories and membership levels. 970 00:57:38.440 --> 00:57:41.900 Right. Because it's it's good to make a plan before you start getting to work. 971 00:57:43.240 --> 00:57:46.280 So and and there's things like that introducing you to Brilliant Directories. 972 00:57:46.280 --> 00:57:54.515 So you can use this drop down link here, and it'll take you to some different places to, you know, learn more about your your new Brilliant Directories website. 973 00:57:54.735 --> 00:57:55.055 Okay. 974 00:57:55.055 --> 00:58:02.175 If you can do one more thing, and then the last thing is right where you are, if I I if I have we have a two step process for the sign up. 975 00:58:02.175 --> 00:58:04.035 We have just the email address and password, 976 00:58:04.380 --> 00:58:05.920 and then we want them to put 977 00:58:06.619 --> 00:58:08.079 their name and 978 00:58:08.460 --> 00:58:12.480 phone number and physical address. So we wanna ship something to them. 979 00:58:13.420 --> 00:58:13.920 And 980 00:58:14.220 --> 00:58:15.039 with that, 981 00:58:15.579 --> 00:58:19.339 some of them are doing the first step but not doing the second step, which makes it 982 00:58:20.095 --> 00:58:24.515 but we wanna have the two step system, but I want to communicate to all of my members. 983 00:58:24.815 --> 00:58:27.455 Right now, we haven't really started communicating with them. 984 00:58:27.455 --> 00:58:31.795 So I if I wanted to send an email to all members and it's less than 1,500, 985 00:58:32.335 --> 00:58:33.715 what what would I do? 986 00:58:35.200 --> 00:58:37.280 Okay. So I saw two parts to your question. 987 00:58:37.280 --> 00:58:42.240 You want your members to sign up to your site and put all the inform required information in. 988 00:58:42.240 --> 00:58:42.740 Correct? 989 00:58:43.200 --> 00:58:49.540 Right. In other words, suppose this way. To to say say there's a thousand members and 700, 990 00:58:49.895 --> 00:58:52.795 put just put their email address and password and 300, 991 00:58:54.935 --> 00:58:55.415 that's all. 992 00:58:55.415 --> 00:58:59.494 In other words, they put everything, but 300 didn't put their anything but their email and password. 993 00:58:59.494 --> 00:59:01.835 And we really wanna communicate to all the members 994 00:59:02.240 --> 00:59:07.059 that message and and also, like, the welcome. So I want to send an email to all of the members 995 00:59:07.359 --> 00:59:09.700 whether they just did the first step, 996 00:59:10.079 --> 00:59:12.579 even if they did just did the first step. That's my point. 997 00:59:13.280 --> 00:59:13.780 Gotcha. 998 00:59:13.839 --> 00:59:19.635 So you you can select that that membership level and welcome all those members with a newsletter. 999 00:59:20.015 --> 00:59:22.595 If you Okay. You wanna target members who 1000 00:59:22.895 --> 00:59:23.395 didn't 1001 00:59:23.934 --> 00:59:25.075 add certain information. 1002 00:59:25.855 --> 00:59:30.115 Right. What you can do is so I just I just downloaded that export that I created. 1003 00:59:31.040 --> 00:59:36.080 What you can do so this is the export you get. You get the person's name, their their email. Okay. 1004 00:59:36.080 --> 00:59:39.600 What you can do is you can find out which ones don't have addresses. Right? 1005 00:59:39.600 --> 00:59:41.060 You can just sort in Excel 1006 00:59:41.360 --> 00:59:41.920 and then Right. 1007 00:59:42.080 --> 00:59:46.605 And then delete everyone else, and now you have a list to import into Mailchimp or something. Okay. 1008 00:59:46.605 --> 00:59:49.825 And then Sure. Okay. You know, if there's no address here, 1009 00:59:50.365 --> 00:59:54.465 you know that you can email them saying, hey, come and come and add your address. 1010 00:59:55.325 --> 00:59:55.825 Okay. 1011 00:59:56.365 --> 00:59:58.365 Alright. That works. That helps very much. 1012 00:59:58.365 --> 01:00:03.550 And that where that where I located that was where as far as the that drop down to to 1013 01:00:04.090 --> 01:00:06.590 So you wanna go to search members? Spreadsheet. 1014 01:00:07.130 --> 01:00:11.370 Okay? Search members and then click on the export, search Got it. 1015 01:00:11.370 --> 01:00:13.850 I'm gonna make sure that's available for everyone after the webinar. 1016 01:00:13.850 --> 01:00:18.244 So if you don't see it, after the webinar, just check back in about an hour or so. 1017 01:00:18.244 --> 01:00:19.545 You'll you should see it. Okay. 1018 01:00:19.924 --> 01:00:22.664 Great. Thank you very much for your help. Alright. You're very welcome. 1019 01:00:23.125 --> 01:00:25.845 Bye. Alright. We have time for, one more question. 1020 01:00:25.845 --> 01:00:28.505 A good question for someone getting started out, Mark there, 1021 01:00:29.100 --> 01:00:31.840 about, some of the capabilities in the back end. 1022 01:00:32.860 --> 01:00:37.600 And, we'll come back here. If you got questions, you can raise your hand. Alright. Vincent. 1023 01:00:38.140 --> 01:00:40.720 I got you, Vincent. Your mic's unmuted.

Like, I'm actually getting emails from other, 1028 01:00:55.850 --> 01:00:58.910 brilliant directory owners trying to get me to join there. 1029 01:00:59.210 --> 01:01:00.990 You know, they send me this really beautiful, 1030 01:01:01.450 --> 01:01:01.950 email, 1031 01:01:02.810 --> 01:01:05.630 and it has a link right to my free page or whatever. 1032 01:01:06.090 --> 01:01:06.590 How 1033 01:01:06.970 --> 01:01:07.870 how do you 1034 01:01:09.474 --> 01:01:12.615 how do you how do I do something like that? Gotcha. So, 1035 01:01:13.795 --> 01:01:15.974 so what Vincent's asking everyone is 1036 01:01:16.994 --> 01:01:18.855 you you've uploaded members. 1037 01:01:19.315 --> 01:01:19.815 Right? 1038 01:01:20.515 --> 01:01:26.370 And Right. I'm assuming you're using the the claim listing feature. So you Right. Right. 1039 01:01:26.370 --> 01:01:38.605 For those not familiar, the claimable business listing, if you're importing a set of data, like, you know, a thousand business listings, and then you wanna email them saying, hey, come check out your profile, claim your listing. 1040 01:01:40.105 --> 01:01:42.265 Let me let me show you how to do that, Vincent. 1041 01:01:42.265 --> 01:01:45.305 You wanna provide a link in the email to their profile. 1042 01:01:45.305 --> 01:01:48.765 So first of all, you need to know their email address. So I'm assuming 1043 01:01:49.800 --> 01:01:53.260 you've uploaded these people with email addresses because you gotta deliver 1044 01:01:53.560 --> 01:01:55.820 the email correct to the correct person. Some 1045 01:01:56.120 --> 01:01:57.720 some have emails, some don't. 1046 01:01:57.720 --> 01:02:01.480 That's kind of a this is my first one, so I'm gonna be a little more careful on the next one. 1047 01:02:01.480 --> 01:02:02.700 But Not a problem. 1048 01:02:03.675 --> 01:02:07.755 Sometimes I've had to actually go there, look at their website, and get the email. Let me do this. 1049 01:02:07.755 --> 01:02:14.335 Can I check out your site with you, and I'll and I'll save it so then you can copy what I did into the real templates you wanna use? 1050 01:02:14.795 --> 01:02:20.630 Sure. Alright. Well, what's your site? It's the 00empartsdallas.com. 1051 01:02:20.849 --> 01:02:21.349 Okay. 1052 01:02:24.690 --> 01:02:27.430 You know, I and this is kind of a little separate, 1053 01:02:27.970 --> 01:02:32.470 thing. I I'm generating leads. I'm just having a hard time selling the leads. 1054 01:02:33.089 --> 01:02:33.589 Okay. 1055 01:02:34.210 --> 01:02:34.710 So 1056 01:02:35.904 --> 01:02:39.924 we'll get to that in in another second here. So let me just create a new template for you, 1057 01:02:41.184 --> 01:02:41.684 and 1058 01:02:44.385 --> 01:02:46.645 I'm going to call it 1059 01:02:48.839 --> 01:02:52.599 provide see what you're doing right now. Okay. Sorry about that. There we go. 1060 01:02:52.599 --> 01:02:55.819 So what I did is I went to email templates. Let me just backtrack. 1061 01:02:56.760 --> 01:03:01.339 And I'm gonna create a new email template, which I'm doing right here. Okay. 1062 01:03:01.365 --> 01:03:06.165 I'm gonna just call this provide link to member. That's the subject line just 1063 01:03:06.965 --> 01:03:10.105 and what's really cool is we've updated this part of the admin. 1064 01:03:10.244 --> 01:03:12.744 So this is where you would put your body of your email. 1065 01:03:13.365 --> 01:03:16.345 And down here, we've added some nifty variables, 1066 01:03:17.660 --> 01:03:18.640 that you can use, 1067 01:03:19.260 --> 01:03:22.880 for your members, and I think one of them is called file name. 1068 01:03:23.740 --> 01:03:24.240 And 1069 01:03:24.620 --> 01:03:25.440 file name, 1070 01:03:27.260 --> 01:03:31.040 does this. So let me do let me create a link. 1071 01:03:31.775 --> 01:03:32.915 It's gonna be 1072 01:03:34.015 --> 01:03:36.275 just a second here. Let me go to your site. 1073 01:03:37.455 --> 01:03:38.435 I don't know. 1074 01:03:38.975 --> 01:03:43.935 The guy earlier, somebody who's chatting back and forth to the different members mentioned something about, 1075 01:03:44.575 --> 01:03:46.515 Mailchimp or something like that where, 1076 01:03:48.320 --> 01:03:52.020 so you're not running it through your own domain. You're using a separate company. 1077 01:03:53.200 --> 01:03:56.500 How does that how do you get that data over to them? 1078 01:03:56.880 --> 01:03:58.580 I'll show you in just a moment. 1079 01:03:58.880 --> 01:04:02.980 So it's similar to that export tool. So, what you can do is, 1080 01:04:03.654 --> 01:04:05.674 and I'm gonna just save this for you. 1081 01:04:06.214 --> 01:04:11.295 File name is the link to that member's profile. You just wanna make Okay. Okay. Gotcha. 1082 01:04:11.575 --> 01:04:15.035 Just wanna make sure you put your website URL in the beginning. 1083 01:04:15.360 --> 01:04:17.060 So let me just insert this, 1084 01:04:17.760 --> 01:04:21.200 and let me just double check what the link is at the in the source code. Can you 1085 01:04:22.160 --> 01:04:26.000 I will send that to you, and I'm saving it Okay. Great. Great. As an email template for you. 1086 01:04:26.000 --> 01:04:26.760 So let's Okay. Great. 1087 01:04:26.880 --> 01:04:32.055 Let's save this, temp I'm gonna call this provide link to members, the email template. 1088 01:04:32.055 --> 01:04:33.515 And all it is is a link. 1089 01:04:34.855 --> 01:04:36.635 Oops. The template needs to be, 1090 01:04:37.895 --> 01:04:40.315 without spaces. So provide link. 1091 01:04:43.015 --> 01:04:44.155 So that should work. 1092 01:04:45.380 --> 01:04:47.160 Oops. Let's delete this. 1093 01:04:52.820 --> 01:04:53.800 There we go. 1094 01:04:56.340 --> 01:04:57.560 Alright. So now, 1095 01:04:57.940 --> 01:05:00.120 let's go to one of your your members, 1096 01:05:04.115 --> 01:05:04.615 and 1097 01:05:05.715 --> 01:05:08.935 let's add Are you able to search by just the ones that have emails? 1098 01:05:11.875 --> 01:05:13.095 So for that, 1099 01:05:15.060 --> 01:05:20.120 no. You could just search for a specific email address right now. Okay. Okay. 1100 01:05:20.180 --> 01:05:22.740 So so what you can do is and let me just, 1101 01:05:23.140 --> 01:05:27.080 I'm gonna send a an email to myself real quick using that template. 1102 01:05:27.885 --> 01:05:29.425 So I'm gonna send the email 1103 01:05:30.765 --> 01:05:34.945 to a member, and I'm gonna swap out with, with my email address. 1104 01:05:40.890 --> 01:05:44.250 So what I did is I clicked on, you know, send an email to this member. 1105 01:05:44.250 --> 01:05:46.349 I'm gonna just put Jason at Brilliant Directories. 1106 01:05:49.609 --> 01:05:51.930 And, well, let me choose the template first. 1107 01:05:51.930 --> 01:05:55.845 So it's a custom one provide link, and it should provide me with a link 1108 01:05:57.445 --> 01:06:00.105 to, to that to that member's profile page. 1109 01:06:00.805 --> 01:06:01.865 Oh, okay. Gotcha. 1110 01:06:04.885 --> 01:06:07.145 We can actually preview the email here, 1111 01:06:08.885 --> 01:06:11.065 and I think we can click on this link. 1112 01:06:12.170 --> 01:06:13.690 We could just know that it's working. 1113 01:06:13.690 --> 01:06:18.510 Well, this listing is not public, but that's the that's the, the member's Oh, okay. Profile page. 1114 01:06:19.050 --> 01:06:24.270 So you're good to go now. You have it there. You can copy and paste that into other email templates. 1115 01:06:25.775 --> 01:06:27.155 Okay. Great. Alright. 1116 01:06:27.535 --> 01:06:32.415 Alright. Thank But now here, how let let Yeah. I'm just trying to grasp how it actually works. Okay? 1117 01:06:32.415 --> 01:06:32.915 So, 1118 01:06:35.215 --> 01:06:39.375 just as a sample, can you just do one of the act is that what you were trying to do? 1119 01:06:39.375 --> 01:06:42.119 Do one of those can you just walk me through it one more time? 1120 01:06:42.119 --> 01:06:45.500 Just pick one and show me how exactly how you Yes. Attach. 1121 01:06:46.200 --> 01:06:49.339 So you want to go to, send an email. 1122 01:06:49.960 --> 01:06:54.140 Okay. So right now, this is internally now. I'm sending it through my own domain. Right? 1123 01:06:54.440 --> 01:06:58.735 Exactly. So this is to send a one off email to someone. Okay. But Okay. Gotcha. 1124 01:06:58.815 --> 01:07:04.415 You can also send a newsletter and and just send it to a bulk people, and it'll it'll use that that template. 1125 01:07:04.415 --> 01:07:04.915 So, 1126 01:07:05.375 --> 01:07:07.475 if we go to preview email now, 1127 01:07:08.310 --> 01:07:12.950 we'll see oops. I didn't select the template. Well, actually, I did select the template. 1128 01:07:12.950 --> 01:07:15.050 This is a link to your profile. Preview. 1129 01:07:16.230 --> 01:07:19.190 There it is. So here's the link. Okay. Okay. Gotcha. Okay. 1130 01:07:19.190 --> 01:07:22.655 I'll fool around with it and get it the way I want it. Yeah. But you're you're good to go. 1131 01:07:22.655 --> 01:07:24.835 So there are ways to, you know, 1132 01:07:25.135 --> 01:07:28.115 to do these things. But really, to provide a link to someone, 1133 01:07:29.135 --> 01:07:33.315 in an email template, you wanna use the file name variable. Just make sure you put, 1134 01:07:33.680 --> 01:07:34.900 your website URL 1135 01:07:35.200 --> 01:07:37.700 in front of it when you're creating the the link. 1136 01:07:37.920 --> 01:07:43.120 That way it'll How does that how would that coordinate now with Mailchimp or somebody like that? 1137 01:07:43.120 --> 01:07:48.420 That's so what you wanna do if you're gonna do that is you wanna export the search results. 1138 01:07:49.185 --> 01:07:51.825 And let me go back to my Excel sheet here. Gotcha. 1139 01:07:51.825 --> 01:07:56.385 In the in the Excel sheet here, it does provide you with the file name of the user. 1140 01:07:56.385 --> 01:07:58.165 So here's the the file name. 1141 01:07:58.625 --> 01:07:59.845 Let me make this bigger. 1142 01:07:59.905 --> 01:08:04.830 So when you export, there is a file name, and all you have to do is marry this with, 1143 01:08:06.350 --> 01:08:07.890 with your website URL. 1144 01:08:08.990 --> 01:08:12.430 So this is Okay. Good. The so let me just show real quick here. 1145 01:08:12.430 --> 01:08:14.850 So what you would do is you can create a new spreadsheet, 1146 01:08:15.870 --> 01:08:16.770 and you put, 1147 01:08:17.555 --> 01:08:23.175 you know, you put your website URL, and then what's really cool is you can just do I'm gonna do this actually. 1148 01:08:24.515 --> 01:08:26.455 I'll show you how you can put the two together. 1149 01:08:26.755 --> 01:08:34.520 So you you do a column, and then you do equals, and you can choose a one, and then you were use and a two, 1150 01:08:35.219 --> 01:08:40.600 and then you have a new cell that has the full extension with the user's filename 1151 01:08:40.979 --> 01:08:42.600 as well as your website. 1152 01:08:44.314 --> 01:08:47.375 Oh, that's pretty neat. So can you put that code in there too? 1153 01:08:47.755 --> 01:08:49.694 Yeah. I'll put that in the chat here. 1154 01:08:51.194 --> 01:08:54.175 Okay. Then you submit that to Mailchimp, and then they 1155 01:08:54.475 --> 01:08:57.215 now are submitting it without the name of the domain. 1156 01:08:57.909 --> 01:09:01.269 Correct. So then now you have an additional variable field that you can have. 1157 01:09:01.269 --> 01:09:03.529 You can have their first name, last name, phone number. 1158 01:09:03.590 --> 01:09:07.289 Link to profile page will be a custom variable you create in, like, a Mailchimp. 1159 01:09:07.829 --> 01:09:09.689 And then when you create your 1160 01:09:10.125 --> 01:09:13.344 your, your template in Mailchimp, you use that variable 1161 01:09:13.965 --> 01:09:19.824 to to link people to their profile page that you've created for them. Okay. Gotcha. Gotcha. Okay. 1162 01:09:19.885 --> 01:09:22.864 I'll get working on that. Alright. Thanks for the question, Vince. 1163 01:09:23.760 --> 01:09:25.140 Thank you.
