00:00:27.134 --> 00:00:29.314
Happy New Year to you too. Great to be back.

00:00:29.890 --> 00:00:32.630
Happy New Year everybody. Great to be back too.

00:00:33.250 --> 00:00:34.149

And if this is your first webinar Wednesday with Brilliant Directories, welcome.

20
00:01:08.930 --> 00:01:12.070
You are now part of a sacred tradition that started

21
00:01:12.375 --> 00:01:14.475
last year in 2017 in January.

22
00:01:15.255 --> 00:01:17.435
We've done over 30 webinar Wednesdays.

23
00:01:17.575 --> 00:01:21.835
Our goal here is to help you as much as we can with your website

24
00:01:22.135 --> 00:01:22.635
projects.

25
00:01:23.255 --> 00:01:24.950
Any questions are fair game.

26
00:01:24.950 --> 00:01:30.310
You can ask questions about setting up your website, how to market your website, getting members signed up.

27
00:01:30.310 --> 00:01:34.730
Sometimes we dive into the code a little bit if, there's a higher level more advanced

28
00:01:35.350 --> 00:01:38.795
question that comes out. We can also talk about discussions,

29
00:01:39.814 --> 00:01:42.155
and strategies on how to

30
00:01:42.774 --> 00:01:45.755
perhaps generate more leads through your websites or

31
00:01:46.055 --> 00:01:46.555
optimize

32
00:01:47.015 --> 00:01:48.634
your website for search engines.

33
00:01:49.130 --> 00:01:51.930
If we're unable to answer a question, that's not a problem.

34
00:01:51.930 --> 00:01:59.710
We will do our best to point you in the right direction, maybe provide you with some resources that could provide you with some better answers.

35
00:01:59.930 --> 00:02:02.750
So welcome. It's great to be with you guys here today.

36
00:02:04.935 --> 00:02:10.794
And from the entire Brilliant Directories family, lots of warms, hugs, and kisses,

37
00:02:11.175 --> 00:02:13.835
and good feelings, vibes, and energy.

38
00:02:15.255 --> 00:02:19.260
It's almost nine years now that we're operating Brilliant Directories.

39
00:02:19.480 --> 00:02:22.780
Our our total focus is on the Brilliant Directories software,

40
00:02:23.880 --> 00:02:28.700
and it's because of you guys that have joined us here today that really make it all worthwhile.

41
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:33.405
And one thing I like to say about webinar Wednesday is we learn from each other here.

42
00:02:33.965 --> 00:02:45.265
We're able to provide you guys with some information, but we also get some amazing and fantastic feedback from the types of questions and even feature requests and observations you guys have about the software.

43
00:02:45.325 --> 00:02:46.305
So thank you,

44
00:02:46.780 --> 00:02:52.000
Patrick, Gabe, and the whole Brilliant Directories family, we want to wish you a productive and successful

45
00:02:52.620 --> 00:02:53.580
02/2018,

46
00:02:53.580 --> 00:02:56.640
and we'll be here as many times as possible,

47
00:02:57.019 --> 00:02:59.360
doing webinar Wednesday throughout the year.

48
00:03:01.534 --> 00:03:03.394
And with that, we're going to

49
00:03:03.775 --> 00:03:05.075
start off the year

50
00:03:05.534 --> 00:03:09.875
with a huge contest with an opportunity to win $500

51
00:03:10.015 --> 00:03:15.474
in Brilliant Directories credits that you can use for additional websites, if you

52
00:03:15.910 --> 00:03:18.490
want add ons, if you want to purchase training sessions,

53
00:03:18.870 --> 00:03:20.090
whatever it might be.

54
00:03:20.470 --> 00:03:28.490
It's super simple and I think this is a really fun and constructive contest because we're all going to be able to share some of our goals and resolutions

55
00:03:29.255 --> 00:03:31.755
for the new year, for 2018.

56
00:03:32.215 --> 00:03:33.435
It's really simple.

57
00:03:33.895 --> 00:03:38.395
Everyone here on the webinar today, you can go to our Facebook page.

58
00:03:38.535 --> 00:03:42.555
You can go to facebook.com/brilliantdirectories.

61
00:03:47.790 --> 00:03:49.390
And I'll go to the post right now.

62
00:03:49.390 --> 00:03:53.710
All you have to do is like, comment, and share our most recent post.

00:04:04.365 --> 00:04:08.605
you'll be able to see it. It has a big orange light bulb with 02/2018

66
00:04:08.605 --> 00:04:09.105
here.

67
00:04:09.485 --> 00:04:15.080
And the question is what goals should a successful online business set in 02/2018?

68
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:20.139
These could be your goals for your business, maybe some ideas you have that might just be helpful,

69
00:04:20.760 --> 00:04:24.460
for any type of online business or a directory website more specifically.

70
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:27.419
And what you can do is scroll down

71
00:04:27.965 --> 00:04:30.865
and Patrick's already left a comment here with some ideas

72
00:04:31.245 --> 00:04:31.724
about,

73
00:04:32.444 --> 00:04:34.944
improving your knowledge with some business books.

74
00:04:35.645 --> 00:04:39.185
And you can do all three of these like, comment, and share.

75
00:04:39.565 --> 00:04:42.625
And next webinar we'll choose a random winner

76
00:04:43.940 --> 00:04:46.020
who will receive $500

77
00:04:46.020 --> 00:04:47.960
in Brilliant Directories credits.

78
00:04:48.500 --> 00:04:51.320
So you can do that now or you can wait till the end of the webinar.

79
00:04:51.540 --> 00:04:55.560
Just go to facebook.com/brilliantdirectories.

80
00:04:55.860 --> 00:04:58.040
We'd love to see your comments and

81
00:04:58.835 --> 00:04:59.655
really just

82
00:05:00.115 --> 00:05:00.935
get everyone's

83
00:05:01.395 --> 00:05:01.895
opinion

84
00:05:02.195 --> 00:05:08.375
and ideas on how to make twenty seventeen 2018, excuse me, the most productive and best that it can be.

85
00:05:11.520 --> 00:05:15.220
Alright. In this week's tip of the week, I'm gonna pass over the controls

86
00:05:15.760 --> 00:05:21.540
to Patrick, but we wanna cover a topic about how to create a professional logo.

87
00:05:21.840 --> 00:05:22.740
Brilliant Directories

88
00:05:23.280 --> 00:05:25.300
has a has a pretty effective

89
00:05:26.855 --> 00:05:31.355
way to create a logo for yourself by adding your text and choosing from,

90
00:05:31.775 --> 00:05:36.875
you know, a good number of icons and also choosing your colors in the design settings.

91
00:05:38.295 --> 00:05:45.469
But you know, if you want to establish your brand and really find a personality for your business, having a professional logo created,

92
00:05:46.169 --> 00:05:50.669
really really sets the bar a lot higher for the value of your brand.

93
00:05:50.969 --> 00:06:08.870
The problem is it can be expensive to find a logo, you really don't know what to ask for or what direction to go in, but Patrick has found, like he does, an amazing tool that can help take the burden and hurdles away from creating a professional logo away and make it a lot easier.

94
00:06:10.930 --> 00:06:15.010
And the solution we found is logojoy.com.

95
00:06:15.010 --> 00:06:23.430
There are other ways to make logos online, but we found this one and Patrick showed it to me earlier this week, and I I fell in love with it myself.

96
00:06:24.015 --> 00:06:27.395
The benefits are you can build your own logo relatively quickly.

97
00:06:27.775 --> 00:06:30.895
There's thousands of variations and options to choose from.

98
00:06:30.895 --> 00:06:35.955
You just kinda input a little bit about your brand, and it gives you all the options possible.

99
00:06:36.229 --> 00:06:40.810
And it's very affordable if you want to complete your purchase to to buy your logo.

100
00:06:40.949 --> 00:06:43.750
So it saves a lot of back and forth from working with,

101
00:06:44.550 --> 00:06:49.590
maybe a graphic designer, which is you might have a graphic designer who's a friend or works in house.

102
00:06:49.590 --> 00:06:51.690
This is another way to help maybe crowdsource,

103
00:06:52.445 --> 00:06:55.485
or or to generate some ideas for your logo.

104
00:06:55.485 --> 00:07:01.425
So I'm gonna pass it over to Patrick to show you guys how you can take your brand to the next level,

105
00:07:01.805 --> 00:07:03.825
by creating a professional logo.

106
00:07:05.850 --> 00:07:08.270
Alright. Good stuff. Thank you very much, Jason.

107
00:07:08.570 --> 00:07:12.590
And yeah. When you pass the control over to me, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna show a website,

108
00:07:13.210 --> 00:07:19.710
that I know a lot of people on this webinar are familiar with because we've used this, for multiple different occasions.

109
00:07:20.035 --> 00:07:21.555
And that's our interior design demo.

110
00:07:21.555 --> 00:07:25.735
We even had a a master class, Jason, where we built this from scratch.

111
00:07:26.115 --> 00:07:28.935
And what you can see in the top left corner,

112
00:07:29.315 --> 00:07:31.715
this is a really good tool that Brilliant Directories has.

113
00:07:31.715 --> 00:07:36.170
It's a logo maker, and that's what we use to build our website.

114
00:07:36.170 --> 00:07:41.290
I think it's a great thing to get your website up and running, get a logo up there so you can get the first people signed up.

115
00:07:41.290 --> 00:07:42.190
I wouldn't necessarily

116
00:07:42.570 --> 00:07:45.390
focus too much on the logo at the beginning stages.

117
00:07:45.530 --> 00:07:49.965
But what we're gonna do is we're gonna use this website as an example, and we're gonna use LogoJoy

118
00:07:50.425 --> 00:07:53.405
and see how quickly we can come up with really professional ideas

119
00:07:54.025 --> 00:07:55.885
to take our logo to the next level.

120
00:07:55.945 --> 00:08:00.765
And then I'll discuss some options that you have in terms of what you can do with your ideas that you've just generated.

121
00:08:01.470 --> 00:08:05.889
Just for those of you in case you're curious, where did I go to create this logo?

122
00:08:06.349 --> 00:08:10.110
I just logged into the administrative panel. And under,

123
00:08:10.509 --> 00:08:12.530
the settings and design settings,

124
00:08:13.069 --> 00:08:14.289
we're able to,

125
00:08:14.669 --> 00:08:15.410
right away,

126
00:08:16.655 --> 00:08:17.794
see an option

127
00:08:18.255 --> 00:08:23.074
to do the logo design. So that's where you see the logo title and the logo slogan.

128
00:08:23.535 --> 00:08:28.675
So now let's go on to the tool that we want to use, which is logo joy.

129
00:08:28.974 --> 00:08:33.039
So what you're asked is to pick five or more logos that you like.

130
00:08:33.260 --> 00:08:35.760
Their logo generator is gonna take your,

131
00:08:36.299 --> 00:08:37.520
insight into consideration.

132
00:08:38.299 --> 00:08:40.000
So we're I'm gonna choose,

133
00:08:40.700 --> 00:08:42.640
five logos at random here,

134
00:08:43.020 --> 00:08:44.640
just for the sake of

135
00:08:46.415 --> 00:08:48.834
this, and then we're gonna click on continue.

136
00:08:49.615 --> 00:08:54.334
Then it's gonna ask you to select a color scheme that you like for your particular logo.

137
00:08:54.334 --> 00:08:58.115
So perhaps I'm gonna wanna have a a gray scale logo in this instance.

138
00:08:58.415 --> 00:09:00.755
Then it asks you to put in your company name.

139
00:09:01.070 --> 00:09:08.130
We're gonna put it into your design demo, and then we're gonna put in the slogan, which we have currently below the logo.

140
00:09:08.589 --> 00:09:11.730
One thing I like about this is it should, have one

141
00:09:12.430 --> 00:09:16.529
some examples with and some examples without the slogan. Then we'll click on continue.

142
00:09:17.605 --> 00:09:23.225
You can search for an icon or you can skip it. So if you wanted to put, like, waitress,

143
00:09:24.645 --> 00:09:29.545
and you click search, you'll see that it's gonna get a bunch of icons that match that particular

144
00:09:30.160 --> 00:09:33.380
word. So it's very helpful. They have an incredible amount of resources.

145
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:35.920
So if there's one that you like and say, oh, I really like this.

146
00:09:35.920 --> 00:09:41.540
I'd like that to have have that incorporated in my logo. You can go ahead and and do that as well.

147
00:09:41.920 --> 00:09:44.325
In this instance, I'm just gonna skip this step.

148
00:09:44.565 --> 00:09:48.985
It allows you to add up to five icons if you like, but I'll go ahead and skip it.

149
00:09:49.445 --> 00:09:51.845
Now what it's gonna do is gonna go to work for us.

150
00:09:51.845 --> 00:09:56.325
It's gonna start generating the logo with all of the data that we've inputted in it.

151
00:09:56.325 --> 00:09:59.960
It's pretty quick as you can see below. It doesn't take long for it to generate.

152
00:09:59.960 --> 00:10:01.960
And there's a couple of things that I like about it.

153
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:06.600
One is you'll get to choose one example out of the ones it generates.

154
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:09.820
If you don't like one, you can continue generating more.

155
00:10:10.040 --> 00:10:17.774
And then when you really like one, you'll be able to see what it would look like on a t shirt, on a billboard, what would it look like on a coffee mug, and so forth.

156
00:10:17.774 --> 00:10:20.115
So we're gonna go ahead and scroll down,

157
00:10:20.975 --> 00:10:24.975
and you're gonna see that there's some really unique, really interesting designs.

158
00:10:24.975 --> 00:10:29.154
For example, this one here really stands out for me, the one with the gold,

159
00:10:29.620 --> 00:10:34.040
and I think that that would look really good on on certain websites. Or this one here is a little,

160
00:10:34.420 --> 00:10:38.040
lighter. Jason, do you have one that you prefer between the two, the gold or the red?

161
00:10:39.220 --> 00:10:42.660
No. I I like the gold one actually, with that icon.

162
00:10:42.660 --> 00:10:50.964
And I'm assuming they're showing you random icons icons where you could have maybe preselected some some icons that that you like.

163
00:10:50.964 --> 00:10:53.785
Like, I like that one too with the Cool. The honey the,

164
00:10:54.885 --> 00:10:56.904
the bees. What is that? Butterflies or bees?

165
00:10:57.760 --> 00:10:59.040
Bees. Yeah. Those are the bees.

166
00:10:59.040 --> 00:11:05.220
And then as you can see as we scroll down, like Jason's mentioning the icons, you can see they always give you some that don't have any icons.

167
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:08.899
And as you continue scrolling, they give you more more variety. It really is endless.

168
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:14.035
And eventually, if you wanna have something more formal, this is extremely formal, for example. Oh.

169
00:11:14.035 --> 00:11:15.175
You really can

170
00:11:15.475 --> 00:11:18.855
get very creative with this. What are those options at the top there?

171
00:11:19.395 --> 00:11:23.795
You can change colors or or what is that more? Exactly. You can change colors.

172
00:11:23.795 --> 00:11:26.410
You can add symbols and so forth. That's exactly what you could do.

173
00:11:26.410 --> 00:11:27.870
So if you wanna see more variations,

174
00:11:28.730 --> 00:11:31.470
you can. And then you can click to see your changes.

175
00:11:31.610 --> 00:11:36.510
It'll start giving you more variety in terms of your color palettes with the same logo.

176
00:11:39.095 --> 00:11:40.875
Yep. I was I'm still amazed.

177
00:11:41.574 --> 00:11:51.355
It's just so So Even if you're just looking for ideas, if you have someone else who might be making your logo for you, this is a good way to extrapolate some some concepts and ideas.

178
00:11:52.230 --> 00:11:55.430
Exactly. So I'm gonna go ahead and pick this one, the the gold one. Why not?

179
00:11:55.430 --> 00:11:57.450
So we're gonna go ahead and click on edit logo.

180
00:11:58.310 --> 00:11:59.450
We'll select it.

181
00:12:06.885 --> 00:12:10.165
That's strange. I don't know why it's not letting me edit the logo.

182
00:12:10.165 --> 00:12:15.385
It's because we're on the webinar, and, obviously, they don't wanna work when we're on the webinar.

183
00:12:15.765 --> 00:12:17.305
Oh, of course. Of course.

184
00:12:18.325 --> 00:12:20.505
So I'm not sure why it didn't show you. Unfortunately,

185
00:12:20.885 --> 00:12:21.360
it

186
00:12:22.640 --> 00:12:24.019
have. It just

187
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:28.339
didn't work that one time. That's very, very strange. Let's see if we can get it working again.

188
00:12:28.640 --> 00:12:31.120
We'll, we'll send we'll we'll share this,

189
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:32.899
this webinar with them.

190
00:12:34.465 --> 00:12:34.965
Alright.

191
00:12:35.825 --> 00:12:39.605
The other thing I wanted to show and let's see. I'm not sure why it didn't work.

192
00:12:40.545 --> 00:12:47.845
Because I wanted to show all the different layouts, and then I wanted to explain I guess, while it's generating, I'll explain the different ways you can use this.

193
00:12:48.230 --> 00:12:53.930
Logo Joy does sell these logos. So you can go ahead and purchase the logo straight from Logo Joy.

194
00:12:54.069 --> 00:12:58.490
Another thing that what I usually do is I have designers that I work with

195
00:12:58.870 --> 00:12:59.370
on,

196
00:13:00.069 --> 00:13:01.350
on fiver.com,

197
00:13:01.350 --> 00:13:02.089
for example.

198
00:13:02.795 --> 00:13:03.295
And,

199
00:13:04.315 --> 00:13:09.695
what I do is I give them this, and I say, I like this logo. I like this look right here.

200
00:13:09.755 --> 00:13:11.855
Can you please design three varieties

201
00:13:12.235 --> 00:13:16.450
three variations of this particular design? So they take it to the next level.

202
00:13:16.450 --> 00:13:19.110
And maybe they give me different color options and so forth.

203
00:13:19.250 --> 00:13:25.730
But instead of going to Fiverr and just they'll ask you on Fiverr or different websites where you can hire a third party designer.

204
00:13:25.730 --> 00:13:29.145
They'll say, what's your company name? What's your slogan? What kind of logo would you like?

205
00:13:29.705 --> 00:13:33.885
It'd be really amazing if you can give them something really close to exactly what you want,

206
00:13:34.345 --> 00:13:37.325
in this case. But, yeah, Jason, as you can see, unfortunately,

207
00:13:38.105 --> 00:13:43.805
I have no idea why it's not allowing me to to edit this particular logo. Very, very strange.

208
00:13:44.199 --> 00:13:45.720
But I'm not able to No. It's okay.

209
00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:48.920
Let me grab the the controls, real quick, and let's see if I can get it.

210
00:13:48.920 --> 00:13:51.660
Because it's cool to see the to to see the end product.

211
00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:54.120
So let me let me quickly,

212
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:55.820
choose some options here.

213
00:13:56.685 --> 00:13:57.739
I'll just choose

214
00:13:58.146 --> 00:14:01.905
Alright. Very cool. Choose a few options here. And

215
00:14:02.925 --> 00:14:05.565
and one more. There we go. And I'll just do it real quick.

216
00:14:05.565 --> 00:14:10.865
I'll choose the pink one since that's what the website was like. Perfect. Interior design

217
00:14:11.459 --> 00:14:14.439
demo, and then find top design

218
00:14:14.740 --> 00:14:15.879
ideas here

219
00:14:16.180 --> 00:14:19.060
and now. Alright. And let's continue. Let's see if it's

220
00:14:20.420 --> 00:14:21.800
we'll just skip the step,

221
00:14:22.339 --> 00:14:24.120
and I'll just quickly choose one.

222
00:14:33.705 --> 00:14:37.405
So cool. Alright. So it says it's gonna load in two seconds.

223
00:14:39.700 --> 00:14:41.700
There we go. Alright. So let's choose,

224
00:14:42.180 --> 00:14:43.320
this one right here.

225
00:14:44.580 --> 00:14:48.120
Edit logo. There we go. So why don't you walk me through

226
00:14:48.500 --> 00:14:52.690
what I can do here now? Okay. So now I see some options But you could choose yeah.

227
00:14:52.725 --> 00:14:56.245
And you could scroll down if you wanna start seeing what it looks like on different layouts.

228
00:14:56.245 --> 00:14:58.264
That's what I like doing. Oh.

229
00:14:58.324 --> 00:15:01.285
You you could keep scrolling and seeing what it looks like on a business card.

230
00:15:01.285 --> 00:15:03.685
What does it look like in different areas on your site?

231
00:15:05.090 --> 00:15:09.670
What does it look like on an app? I really love that they do what it looks like on a billboard.

232
00:15:09.970 --> 00:15:15.090
Yeah. So it it it's good to see well, no. That look that font looks too small on an app. Right?

233
00:15:15.090 --> 00:15:15.910
That slogan's

234
00:15:16.290 --> 00:15:18.550
too long perhaps, or let's not have

235
00:15:19.265 --> 00:15:21.365
the slogan. So it gives you the different perspectives.

236
00:15:23.345 --> 00:15:23.845
Gotcha.

237
00:15:24.625 --> 00:15:25.765
Alright. And then

238
00:15:27.185 --> 00:15:30.645
I'll just choose this one. Oh, here's a door. Well, that's nice.

239
00:15:30.865 --> 00:15:34.485
And then, yeah, once you find what you like, you can click buy.

240
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:37.500
I also want to mention we're not affiliated with LogoJoy.

241
00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:40.779
We just thought it was a really super cool tool.

242
00:15:41.160 --> 00:15:47.960
If if if you really like the logo and and this is the one you want for your business, I would recommend at least starting with the the $65

243
00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:53.235
1 because it does give you all the versions of the logo that you would need to then put on

244
00:15:53.855 --> 00:15:56.035
any any type of branding materials

245
00:15:56.655 --> 00:15:59.715
that you need. The $20 1 is just a low resolution

246
00:16:00.335 --> 00:16:00.835
logo.

247
00:16:02.095 --> 00:16:02.835
But yeah,

248
00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:04.440
I think that's it.

249
00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:09.560
So if you guys are ready for a professional logo for your site, LogoJoy is one option.

250
00:16:09.560 --> 00:16:11.000
I'm sure there's other ones out there.

251
00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:15.019
You can Google, you know, free logo maker or online logo maker.

252
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:17.260
But this is a great way to

253
00:16:17.945 --> 00:16:21.885
create ideas and also to actually get a logo for your business.

254
00:16:22.265 --> 00:16:25.405
If you don't know where to get a logo made, now you know.

255
00:16:27.305 --> 00:16:30.285
Thank you for sharing that, Pat. Super, super helpful.

256
00:16:30.665 --> 00:16:31.325
My pleasure.

257
00:16:31.920 --> 00:16:35.120
I'm randomly on our Brilliant Directories site here.

258
00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:36.800
Might as well mention it.

259
00:16:36.800 --> 00:16:40.960
If you ever wanna watch our replays, you can go to brilliantdirectories.com.

260
00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:43.380
If you hover over the community tab,

261
00:16:43.835 --> 00:16:47.135
in the bright orange button, there's free workshop videos.

262
00:16:47.995 --> 00:16:51.455
And we try to post the webinars as quickly as possible.

263
00:16:51.835 --> 00:16:54.365
Here's the webinar from January

264
00:16:54.365 --> 00:16:55.535
2017,

265
00:16:56.519 --> 00:17:01.320
and you can scroll all the way down to watch all the webinars. And so far, I think we have 30.

266
00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:03.660
This would be number 31.

267
00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:06.220
Alright.

268
00:17:09.775 --> 00:17:11.315
So logojoy.com,

269
00:17:11.375 --> 00:17:11.875
check.

270
00:17:12.255 --> 00:17:17.235
Time to get to the important part of Webinar Wednesday, our favorite part, which is,

271
00:17:18.415 --> 00:17:20.355
helping you guys with your websites.

272
00:17:21.320 --> 00:17:22.440
Alright. I see,

273
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:25.260
David, you've raised your hand. How are you doing, David?

274
00:17:26.280 --> 00:17:29.180
Good. Thank you. Where are you calling in from today, David?

275
00:17:30.520 --> 00:17:31.740
Hafun Bay, California.

276
00:17:33.015 --> 00:17:38.935
Okay. Okay. I'm here in Los Angeles. So we're not, not too far California. Hafun Bay. Yeah.

277
00:17:38.935 --> 00:17:41.275
Hafun Bay. It's, near San Francisco.

278
00:17:41.575 --> 00:17:42.075
Yeah.

279
00:17:42.775 --> 00:17:46.550
So yeah. So, do you have a Brilliant Directories website already? Yes.

280
00:17:47.170 --> 00:17:49.110
Alright. And what's your question for us today?

281
00:17:50.690 --> 00:17:52.310
So I'm thinking about doing,

282
00:17:52.690 --> 00:17:54.230
some weekly or daily,

283
00:17:55.410 --> 00:17:55.910
giveaways

284
00:17:56.210 --> 00:17:56.710
to,

285
00:17:57.330 --> 00:17:58.950
from some of the free members,

286
00:18:00.715 --> 00:18:02.654
or to the free members. And so,

287
00:18:03.514 --> 00:18:06.654
I wanna know if I can go, if I can tell

288
00:18:07.034 --> 00:18:09.695
easily who which members have logged in,

289
00:18:10.554 --> 00:18:12.254
during a specific time period

290
00:18:12.660 --> 00:18:16.680
so I could go in and select one for for one of the free giveaways.

291
00:18:16.980 --> 00:18:20.600
I'm gonna pass it back to Patrick because this is we were just talking about,

292
00:18:21.460 --> 00:18:24.020
maybe showcasing exactly how to do this,

293
00:18:24.340 --> 00:18:25.560
right before the webinar.

294
00:18:25.934 --> 00:18:28.755
Patrick, do you wanna do you wanna show how to,

295
00:18:29.455 --> 00:18:34.514
show which members have joined a certain date or their last login was within a certain time frame?

296
00:18:35.375 --> 00:18:38.580
Sure thing. Alright. Let me let me pass it back over to you.

297
00:18:40.820 --> 00:18:42.039
Alright. There you go.

298
00:18:45.380 --> 00:18:49.960
Alright. I'm gonna take it in just a second here. I wanna find a website that has a couple members

299
00:18:50.340 --> 00:18:54.279
that I can at least show this for, make sure we're good. Alright. This looks

300
00:18:55.565 --> 00:18:56.865
looks good here. Perfect.

301
00:18:57.165 --> 00:18:58.865
Alright. Since you're designed demo.

302
00:19:04.365 --> 00:19:06.545
Alright. Are you able to see my screen, Jason?

303
00:19:07.429 --> 00:19:10.490
Yep. It's it's working. So where are we in the admin here?

304
00:19:11.030 --> 00:19:13.929
Alright. So I went ahead and we'll go back to the dashboard.

305
00:19:14.549 --> 00:19:17.270
And what I and your question by the way, I love it.

306
00:19:17.270 --> 00:19:21.429
That was my recommendation to Jason on what topic to cover in today's webinar.

307
00:19:21.429 --> 00:19:22.665
That was what I pushed for.

308
00:19:22.665 --> 00:19:26.925
So it's pretty ironic that that here here we are discussing exactly this tool.

309
00:19:27.145 --> 00:19:29.565
I think what you're trying to do is extremely valuable.

310
00:19:30.265 --> 00:19:32.525
So we're we're gonna go ahead and click on members,

311
00:19:33.225 --> 00:19:35.245
and it's gonna take us to the member's panel.

312
00:19:35.385 --> 00:19:42.380
This tool and the reason why I wanted to cover it is if you're a marketer, if you like marketing or you know anything about email marketing,

313
00:19:42.840 --> 00:19:45.100
this tool is extremely powerful

314
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:48.940
because it gives you a lot of segmented data.

315
00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:53.420
The one that you just mentioned, for example, was the login date range.

316
00:19:53.985 --> 00:19:59.585
And as you'll see here in in the top, one of the filters that we have is the the login date range.

317
00:19:59.585 --> 00:20:04.165
So you can go ahead and pick that. So you could say, I wanna know everybody that's logged in,

318
00:20:04.865 --> 00:20:15.460
from October 1 to October 20 from the to from October 1 to February 28 and do a search, and it's gonna generate the search results and show you all the members.

319
00:20:15.460 --> 00:20:20.600
So, of course, this is our interior design demo, so it's accurate. Only these four,

320
00:20:21.300 --> 00:20:27.215
dummy accounts have logged in as a profile in the last four months on this particular website.

321
00:20:27.595 --> 00:20:28.975
Of course, in your case,

322
00:20:29.355 --> 00:20:33.455
the login date that you'd be doing would be for today or yesterday, for example.

323
00:20:33.595 --> 00:20:38.140
And you always would be able to get the data and know exactly who is the one that logged in.

324
00:20:38.140 --> 00:20:49.660
If you ever wanted to email them and why I like this tool as a marketing tool is you always have this button that's on the right that allows you to quickly export that segmented marketing list, and it's gonna download as a CSV.

325
00:20:49.660 --> 00:20:53.365
If we go ahead and open this, we're gonna have all of the member data,

326
00:20:54.304 --> 00:20:58.325
available in that in that Excel document that we've gone ahead and and just exported.

327
00:20:58.625 --> 00:21:02.485
Let me see if it opens up here. It should because it's LibreOffice.

328
00:21:03.024 --> 00:21:06.210
It might take a little while. But I'll go ahead and show that when it's there.

329
00:21:06.210 --> 00:21:10.049
So this is one marketing campaign that you could do, which you just talked about.

330
00:21:10.049 --> 00:21:13.510
I wanna email I wanna pick a winner, someone that logged in today.

331
00:21:13.649 --> 00:21:17.990
You don't necessarily you're not necessarily using it for an email campaign, but you may want to do that.

332
00:21:18.049 --> 00:21:19.815
What is a campaign that I would run?

333
00:21:19.815 --> 00:21:23.355
I would wanna send an email to anyone that hasn't logged in in the last month.

334
00:21:24.054 --> 00:21:34.075
That would be good and see why they're not active or anybody that hasn't maybe even a different email campaign for anyone that hasn't logged in in the last six months and let them know what they've missed out in the last six months and not necessarily

335
00:21:34.630 --> 00:21:39.770
email the people that are active on my website because they're currently using it, and I don't wanna disrupt their their behavior.

336
00:21:40.230 --> 00:21:43.130
I was also thinking that with people that haven't logged in,

337
00:21:43.830 --> 00:21:45.850
I could also send them to a survey

338
00:21:46.390 --> 00:21:47.530
page and,

339
00:21:49.035 --> 00:21:51.055
you know, if they it to to find out

340
00:21:51.435 --> 00:21:52.475
why they haven't logged in.

341
00:21:52.475 --> 00:21:57.855
And and if they complete the survey, then they could also be entered into some kind of a prize drawing.

342
00:21:58.715 --> 00:22:03.660
Exactly. So that would be a great, a great, a great campaign for you to run as well.

343
00:22:03.740 --> 00:22:05.600
Get people that have never logged in

344
00:22:05.980 --> 00:22:09.660
to actually log in and then use their accounts and give them a prize and a survey.

345
00:22:09.660 --> 00:22:10.960
I really like that strategy.

346
00:22:11.660 --> 00:22:16.320
Other tools that you have, as you can see here for other people watching, is you're able

347
00:22:16.645 --> 00:22:18.645
to filter by the join date.

348
00:22:18.645 --> 00:22:23.304
So if you wanna have an email list and email everybody that joined in 02/2016,

349
00:22:23.684 --> 00:22:26.905
you can do that. Or if you wanna email everybody that joined in December,

350
00:22:27.285 --> 00:22:30.665
you can do that. So I find that to be a very helpful segments and tool,

351
00:22:31.450 --> 00:22:33.630
for for for email marketing campaigns.

352
00:22:33.930 --> 00:22:34.430
Also,

353
00:22:35.370 --> 00:22:38.190
something that that's very useful is the categories.

354
00:22:38.970 --> 00:22:39.610
If you are

355
00:22:40.330 --> 00:22:41.870
if you have multiple types

356
00:22:42.330 --> 00:22:53.655
of members, if you have doctors and you have lawyers and you have accountants on your website on a local directory per se, to have the ability to export all of your lawyers and to send them an email that's specific

357
00:22:54.115 --> 00:23:00.775
to the law to the industry of law and that caters to what their interest levels are and you explain to lawyers

358
00:23:01.230 --> 00:23:06.370
why your website is useful for them, I find that to be a very helpful tool in marketing.

359
00:23:06.830 --> 00:23:08.030
That's something that's very helpful.

360
00:23:08.030 --> 00:23:12.929
And another filter in the last one, although there's a few more here, you have locations and whatnot.

361
00:23:13.070 --> 00:23:15.250
The one I like to cover is membership levels

362
00:23:15.554 --> 00:23:20.695
because obviously you'll wanna send a campaign to your free members and a different campaign to your paid members.

363
00:23:20.835 --> 00:23:29.075
And with this member search tool that you can export, whenever you go ahead and you complete that search, it's gonna show you all of the members that match that criteria.

364
00:23:29.075 --> 00:23:31.254
And it's just a matter of clicking this button.

365
00:23:31.370 --> 00:23:33.790
And as you can see below, it's gonna download instantly

366
00:23:34.170 --> 00:23:37.130
as a CSV document, all your member data in there.

367
00:23:37.130 --> 00:23:39.790
That is strictly the results that you were able to generate.

368
00:23:40.250 --> 00:23:51.835
So when you guys you know, when we get when we log in to the webinars and you usually have a, you know, a weekly special or something like that, is the is the is the purpose of the special to,

369
00:23:52.775 --> 00:23:56.794
encourage people to to log in on a on a regular basis? And,

370
00:23:57.735 --> 00:24:01.956
you know, and and so do do you find that that really works as a revenue generation tool?

371
00:24:01.956 --> 00:24:03.690
Because I I'm thinking that,

372
00:24:04.330 --> 00:24:06.010
you know, same thing. If if,

373
00:24:06.570 --> 00:24:10.750
if people are are let's say they're paid members and they're logging in on a regular basis,

374
00:24:11.770 --> 00:24:13.390
I could I could give them,

375
00:24:13.690 --> 00:24:17.550
you know, I don't know, whatever, a free month or or something like that or,

376
00:24:18.685 --> 00:24:19.185
to,

377
00:24:19.605 --> 00:24:27.065
to, you know, to encourage them to to to keep visiting the site, both, you know, as a paid member, not only as a as a free member.

378
00:24:28.245 --> 00:24:30.025
We've we've done some presentations.

379
00:24:30.485 --> 00:24:33.440
User engagement is very important for your websites,

380
00:24:34.460 --> 00:24:36.559
and also daily active users.

381
00:24:36.620 --> 00:24:41.360
For example, how many times a day do some of you log into Facebook, just as an example.

382
00:24:41.820 --> 00:24:42.320
Incentivizing

383
00:24:42.620 --> 00:24:43.279
your members

384
00:24:44.380 --> 00:24:44.880
to

385
00:24:46.024 --> 00:24:51.644
to log in is good. But what's even better than that is is giving them a real

386
00:24:52.184 --> 00:24:52.684
value

387
00:24:53.144 --> 00:24:56.605
value added reason to contribute more to your website.

388
00:24:57.304 --> 00:25:01.480
For what is the reason for them to log in? Are they contributing content to your website?

389
00:25:01.480 --> 00:25:05.900
Is contributing content benefiting them personally or their business in any way?

390
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:07.500
The more you can

391
00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:08.940
show them,

392
00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:15.100
you know, maybe it's through your mission statement or something, but if you can demonstrate to them that by them

393
00:25:15.434 --> 00:25:24.894
participating on your site is either going to bring them personal joy or personally benefit their or professionally benefit their business, then they'll be more inclined to

394
00:25:25.274 --> 00:25:29.350
participate on your site and engage on your website. And you may not need,

395
00:25:29.889 --> 00:25:32.850
you know, giveaways and things like that to get them to log in.

396
00:25:32.850 --> 00:25:37.009
So the first question would be is, what's what's the motivation for them to log in?

397
00:25:37.009 --> 00:25:40.425
What are they what are they going to get out of it, and what are they going to do when they log in?

398
00:25:40.505 --> 00:25:43.485
And the better you can outline that and the more tempting and appealing

399
00:25:44.025 --> 00:25:48.605
you can make that, then it's gonna be easier for for you. It's gonna be

400
00:25:49.385 --> 00:25:53.165
they're gonna start logging in more frequently without you needing to

401
00:25:54.790 --> 00:25:57.210
prompt them to do so each time. Right.

402
00:25:57.430 --> 00:26:02.170
Jason, if if with that with that search tool, is it possible to tell

403
00:26:02.550 --> 00:26:03.370
which members,

404
00:26:04.790 --> 00:26:07.610
you know, particularly the paid members, which ones have

405
00:26:08.225 --> 00:26:11.045
have added content, whether it's a blog post or

406
00:26:11.345 --> 00:26:16.085
or video or whatever. I mean, can we can we sort of can you can I tell from that,

407
00:26:16.945 --> 00:26:17.845
that search,

408
00:26:19.505 --> 00:26:25.330
how, you know, how much they're not only logging in, but are they actually contributing to the growth of the site?

409
00:26:27.149 --> 00:26:31.889
There isn't a way from that search. Pat, do you can you think of a workaround

410
00:26:32.350 --> 00:26:32.850
to

411
00:26:35.355 --> 00:26:39.935
find out maybe it would be in the in the when you're managing your post content.

412
00:26:40.635 --> 00:26:44.015
There's an area where you can see all the things that have been published.

413
00:26:46.395 --> 00:26:47.935
You can see design portfolios

414
00:26:48.235 --> 00:26:49.135
here, events.

415
00:26:49.630 --> 00:26:56.909
This is all the different types of content that's on your site published by It does show you the level as well, Jason.

416
00:26:56.909 --> 00:27:01.950
So you do have a pulse on it, what levels they are and who they are that are publishing the content.

417
00:27:01.950 --> 00:27:05.215
So you you do have that view, but it's not an exportable,

418
00:27:06.315 --> 00:27:09.695
CSV document. So so you can search it by level?

419
00:27:10.395 --> 00:27:11.135
What's that?

420
00:27:11.515 --> 00:27:16.600
Can you search it? The this screen, can I search by level to see which you know,

421
00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:18.539
if they're if they're,

422
00:27:19.320 --> 00:27:24.760
you know, what kind of member they are that, what membership level that is actually posting? Yeah.

423
00:27:24.760 --> 00:27:28.220
The only thing you can filter by on this page is is the actual,

424
00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:34.804
names and titles. Type in contributor type in contributor there, Pat. I wanna see Okay.

425
00:27:35.905 --> 00:27:37.765
Yeah. Give it I wanna see

426
00:27:38.225 --> 00:27:41.025
I think it is it is reading that, the subscription. Yeah.

427
00:27:41.025 --> 00:27:44.860
If you type in like active in per it'll it's it's searching that.

428
00:27:44.860 --> 00:27:48.000
So you can you can actually type in any of the words you see here.

429
00:27:50.380 --> 00:27:51.600
Oh, I see. Okay.

430
00:27:52.060 --> 00:27:52.560
Oops.

431
00:27:53.740 --> 00:27:57.520
Was that not working that way? It got active, but not the active, but that

432
00:27:57.980 --> 00:28:02.755
contributor, yes. Are we getting a false positive on that? Or maybe because it's a capital a.

433
00:28:02.755 --> 00:28:05.095
Maybe it's case sensitive. No. That's not why.

434
00:28:05.554 --> 00:28:05.795
K.

435
00:28:05.795 --> 00:28:11.655
But but, anyways, this is a this is a good play this is like your command center for content here that your members are publishing.

436
00:28:11.875 --> 00:28:12.855
So you can see,

437
00:28:13.240 --> 00:28:18.860
you know, the different types of content and who's publishing them, and what's really cool here is if you go under the actions

438
00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:21.820
drop down for one of the links,

439
00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:34.985
if you click on the actions drop down next to edit, you can go to the live page, you can delete it, and you can even if you see errors in what your members have posted, you can actually it'll log you in to edit and fix the content.

440
00:28:35.445 --> 00:28:37.465
Maybe someone misspelled something and

441
00:28:37.765 --> 00:28:41.145
and and you can fix it that way. So this is a really cool area as well.

442
00:28:41.929 --> 00:28:48.010
And and can I share my personal recommendation for marketing campaigns since it's in line with what you're talking Sure?

443
00:28:48.170 --> 00:28:48.670
About?

444
00:28:48.890 --> 00:28:55.309
So one one contest that I really like and I think, members respond to well and it serves multiple different purposes,

445
00:28:56.125 --> 00:28:59.005
is to educate them on the type of content they can post.

446
00:28:59.005 --> 00:29:02.705
I find one of the biggest and we do cover this topic quite a bit.

447
00:29:02.765 --> 00:29:05.905
One of the bigger challenges I see with people launching new websites

448
00:29:06.285 --> 00:29:10.785
is they launch with all the brilliant directories features like this one you're seeing here.

449
00:29:10.940 --> 00:29:14.720
Then what they do is they they're behind the eight ball. Right? They have to create all the content

450
00:29:15.020 --> 00:29:16.720
to create all the different features.

451
00:29:17.020 --> 00:29:22.640
What I recommend doing is you launch your website with one or two features similar to what we are seeing here.

452
00:29:22.780 --> 00:29:25.980
And then what I would do is I would send an email campaign to all of my members.

453
00:29:25.980 --> 00:29:27.445
And the contest would be

454
00:29:27.745 --> 00:29:29.745
to add how to design videos.

455
00:29:29.745 --> 00:29:33.985
And you would select your favorite how to video that's recorded by a member.

456
00:29:33.985 --> 00:29:35.585
You're gonna feature it on the home page.

457
00:29:35.585 --> 00:29:39.125
You're gonna include it in the newsletter, and you're gonna give them this.

458
00:29:39.150 --> 00:29:47.570
So that newsletter is not only getting your members interested in the content, you're educating them on the type of content they can add on your site, how that's beneficial to their business,

459
00:29:47.950 --> 00:29:57.605
getting your content on the website, so filling it out so when someone clicks on Vowel, they do see a lot of content, and then giving them a price based on something that's actually increased the value

460
00:29:57.985 --> 00:29:59.825
of your website to the general public.

461
00:29:59.825 --> 00:30:07.284
And I think that those types of contests are are very, very successful at the beginning stages, and it's an educational process at the same time.

462
00:30:07.990 --> 00:30:09.350
Alright. Great. Thank you, guys.

463
00:30:09.590 --> 00:30:13.929
I've been building my website for my business for years and years, and and

464
00:30:14.309 --> 00:30:15.210
so the

465
00:30:15.510 --> 00:30:16.490
the features

466
00:30:16.870 --> 00:30:22.650
and the the the time and effort that have gone into Brilliant Directories just blows me away. So,

467
00:30:23.385 --> 00:30:24.845
thank you. You guys are fantastic.

468
00:30:25.465 --> 00:30:27.165
Thank you, David. Appreciate that.

469
00:30:27.705 --> 00:30:28.025
Alright.

470
00:30:28.025 --> 00:30:33.965
Good question there from David about how to segment members and target them for future marketing

471
00:30:34.585 --> 00:30:35.085
campaigns.

472
00:30:36.210 --> 00:30:39.830
Alright. Jim, I'm gonna go ahead and unmute your mic.

473
00:30:40.530 --> 00:30:44.630
Alright, Jim. Pat, I'm gonna pass over the controls to myself again here.

474
00:30:45.730 --> 00:30:48.470
Alright. Jim, I've unmuted your microphone. Are you with us?

475
00:30:48.775 --> 00:30:52.315
Hey. Can you hear me, guys? Yes, sir. Where are you calling in from, Jim?

476
00:30:52.855 --> 00:30:56.934
Hey, Kevin. Can you hear me now? Yeah. We can hear you we can hear you just fine.

477
00:30:57.095 --> 00:30:58.554
What's your question for us today?

478
00:30:58.855 --> 00:31:01.640
It's a quick I got a marketing question for you. Okay.

479
00:31:02.360 --> 00:31:04.779
What I what I've been doing with my website is,

480
00:31:05.880 --> 00:31:06.620
my target,

481
00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:09.179
clients would be veterinarians.

482
00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:10.539
So

483
00:31:11.559 --> 00:31:13.659
my problem is getting through the gatekeeper.

484
00:31:14.404 --> 00:31:17.225
Right? So the gatekeeper would be like the secretary. Right?

485
00:31:17.845 --> 00:31:21.784
So what I've been doing is I've gone actually knocking on doors.

486
00:31:22.325 --> 00:31:25.385
I've, printed out, you know, like, 4 x 6 postcards

487
00:31:26.005 --> 00:31:27.225
offering free membership.

488
00:31:28.740 --> 00:31:30.280
I've done cold calls,

489
00:31:31.220 --> 00:31:33.560
and I just can't get them to bite.

490
00:31:34.020 --> 00:31:34.520
So

491
00:31:35.140 --> 00:31:37.540
I've, what I'm thinking is to,

492
00:31:38.900 --> 00:31:41.940
is to start because I wanted to be a national directory. Right?

493
00:31:41.940 --> 00:31:44.975
But I think we're gonna have to start, like, at a local level.

494
00:31:45.195 --> 00:31:47.755
So I'm thinking maybe if I were to go and start,

495
00:31:49.115 --> 00:31:52.335
and interview them, knock on the door and do an interview with them,

496
00:31:53.915 --> 00:31:57.510
to get them educate them on my website. And then after that,

497
00:31:58.070 --> 00:32:01.210
I'd I'd maybe be able to spark more interest

498
00:32:01.670 --> 00:32:03.270
once, they see that

499
00:32:03.670 --> 00:32:04.330
I have

500
00:32:04.630 --> 00:32:06.950
I have a couple of ideas right off the top.

501
00:32:06.950 --> 00:32:12.195
I have one in particular that's a little bit less work and maybe more effective in getting through the gatekeeper,

502
00:32:12.815 --> 00:32:16.434
and kinda scaring the gatekeeper that they have to get the person in charge

503
00:32:16.815 --> 00:32:17.635
on the phone.

504
00:32:18.335 --> 00:32:22.675
And and, Jason, you can let me know what you think of this strategy, but I find this to be much more effective.

505
00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:25.540
It's a little coy, but that's okay.

506
00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:28.340
What I like to do is I like to use the brilliant directories.

507
00:32:28.400 --> 00:32:34.880
I will create the account on my directory using the claim listing feature, and Jason may or may not want it to show that right now.

508
00:32:34.880 --> 00:32:36.980
And then what I do is I'll leave a review

509
00:32:37.445 --> 00:32:38.345
on their profile.

510
00:32:38.805 --> 00:32:44.645
It could be a great review or depending how aggressive you wanna be with your strategy, it could be a negative review.

511
00:32:44.645 --> 00:32:45.705
The negative reviews,

512
00:32:46.085 --> 00:32:48.745
it's may not be the the most honest practice,

513
00:32:49.205 --> 00:32:52.265
but it is the most effective one because you'll get their full attention

514
00:32:52.885 --> 00:32:54.880
if you're helping out their business reputation.

515
00:32:55.580 --> 00:33:01.039
Calling them and letting them know that there's a review on their from their business that's either flattering or unflattering,

516
00:33:01.580 --> 00:33:03.919
and you're calling to give them an opportunity

517
00:33:04.620 --> 00:33:17.245
to reply to that feature to that reply to reply to that review, and stay on top of their online reputation because of how important it is to have a good online reputation, how much it hurts business if you don't stay on top of that.

518
00:33:17.245 --> 00:33:22.890
You're just doing your your your due practice and your due diligence and giving them an opportunity to to do that.

519
00:33:22.950 --> 00:33:26.170
I find you get their attention. You can even get through the gatekeeper

520
00:33:26.470 --> 00:33:32.805
because the gatekeeper knows that they'll get in trouble if they don't take care of something like that that would affect the business of their boss.

521
00:33:33.365 --> 00:33:37.385
More so than saying, I have an opportunity for you to list your business on my website

522
00:33:37.765 --> 00:33:38.665
and so forth.

523
00:33:39.125 --> 00:33:41.705
That's one strategy. Then there's no interviewing.

524
00:33:42.485 --> 00:33:46.985
There's none none of that that really needs to happen. I like leaving positive reviews

525
00:33:47.700 --> 00:33:49.399
because it's a positive conversation.

526
00:33:49.940 --> 00:33:53.940
And since it's not really an authentic review, I think it's the least that that that I can do.

527
00:33:54.100 --> 00:33:57.220
But I did wanna give you all the strategies that that are at your disposal.

528
00:33:57.220 --> 00:33:59.880
It just depends what kinda strategy you wanna implement.

529
00:34:00.335 --> 00:34:01.455
Yeah. That's that's a great idea.

530
00:34:01.455 --> 00:34:05.535
I have, obviously, you know, like, lots of friends on Facebook and stuff, and they all have pets.

531
00:34:05.535 --> 00:34:06.255
So I can just,

532
00:34:07.055 --> 00:34:10.514
ask them who their vet is, and then I can just get them to leave a review.

533
00:34:11.054 --> 00:34:14.400
And, that's that's pretty simple that way as well too. Right? Yeah.

534
00:34:14.400 --> 00:34:22.000
And then and then you have something to talk about the phone and you're not what I find helps is the moment you you start a conversation and you say, hey.

535
00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:24.880
We have our new website and we want you to list your business on it.

536
00:34:24.880 --> 00:34:26.500
It's an opportunity for you to market.

537
00:34:26.585 --> 00:34:29.545
You lose them because there's so many opportunities out there.

538
00:34:29.545 --> 00:34:32.764
You have to have something that is different than the typical conversation.

539
00:34:33.144 --> 00:34:41.730
So I think just sounding like a sales not not a sales rep, but just a customer support agent that's just letting the business know that they have a review on their site.

540
00:34:41.810 --> 00:34:45.190
And if they're interested in being able to manage their online reputation

541
00:34:45.489 --> 00:34:46.389
through the site,

542
00:34:46.770 --> 00:34:49.109
that that's a much easier conversation to have initially.

543
00:34:49.889 --> 00:34:54.310
Yeah. Sounds good to me. I have, I have some strategies as well.

544
00:34:55.485 --> 00:34:59.985
I like Pat's. I think adding them to your site and letting them know that

545
00:35:00.365 --> 00:35:02.865
they can, you know, increase their online

546
00:35:04.765 --> 00:35:07.585
visibility is really good. Another strategy

547
00:35:07.965 --> 00:35:08.465
is

548
00:35:09.460 --> 00:35:12.040
once you add them to your site, instead of leaving a review,

549
00:35:12.420 --> 00:35:16.440
is to email them and let them know that you've found them as a noteworthy

550
00:35:16.820 --> 00:35:18.120
professional in the industry.

551
00:35:18.740 --> 00:35:21.400
And I would also gear your

552
00:35:22.020 --> 00:35:22.520
mission

553
00:35:23.325 --> 00:35:25.105
towards connecting consumers

554
00:35:25.805 --> 00:35:28.865
with the most trusted and most experienced veterinarians.

555
00:35:30.445 --> 00:35:35.505
And you can start with a local area, like you said, rather national instead of nationally, like in Ontario.

556
00:35:36.039 --> 00:35:40.220
So you're making a directory of the top 100 veterinarians in Ontario,

557
00:35:40.680 --> 00:35:44.700
and make your selling proposition just a little bit more appealing

558
00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:47.259
rather than, hey, we have a directory of veterinarians.

559
00:35:47.880 --> 00:35:49.099
Make it sound something

560
00:35:50.295 --> 00:35:52.555
something just a little bit more grandiose.

561
00:35:53.255 --> 00:35:54.315
Does that make sense?

562
00:35:54.934 --> 00:35:56.635
Yeah. It makes great sense to me.

563
00:35:57.335 --> 00:36:02.714
You know, Jeff Wyatt, who's with us, and I have one more suggestion for you as well, had

564
00:36:03.015 --> 00:36:03.515
a

565
00:36:04.670 --> 00:36:08.130
website. It was Find Medical let me go there.

566
00:36:08.830 --> 00:36:08.990
Tourism

567
00:36:09.870 --> 00:36:11.470
let's see if it's still online. Okay.

568
00:36:11.470 --> 00:36:22.185
So this is just an older website, and it was doctors outside of well, he was living in The US at the time, so he was going to South America, countries like Costa Rica, and getting doctors to join his

569
00:36:23.285 --> 00:36:24.984
website because people would go

570
00:36:25.285 --> 00:36:29.465
find medical procedures outside of their mainland country like The US.

571
00:36:29.845 --> 00:36:31.065
What he did is,

572
00:36:31.765 --> 00:36:32.905
he had an infographic

573
00:36:33.205 --> 00:36:36.100
that explained the benefits of joining his site.

574
00:36:36.240 --> 00:36:39.220
Pat, what's the site that you make the infographics on?

575
00:36:40.880 --> 00:36:42.660
It's called canva.com.

576
00:36:43.040 --> 00:36:46.980
Canva Com. It may behoove you to create an infographic

577
00:36:47.855 --> 00:36:50.414
and how can I see some samples here, Pat?

578
00:36:50.414 --> 00:36:57.295
If you type in Canva info space infographic in a Google search, the link should be there, and you'll be able to see a ton of them.

579
00:36:57.295 --> 00:37:00.674
And it's all, drag and drop. You can make the most amazing,

580
00:37:01.055 --> 00:37:05.990
infographics with this particular tool. It takes me about thirty minutes, which is insane.

581
00:37:05.990 --> 00:37:12.410
Because if you're using a PSD or for or or it would take if you're building it out of a PSD, it would literally take you hours.

582
00:37:12.550 --> 00:37:15.290
Okay. So what you can do here is is build an infographic.

583
00:37:15.430 --> 00:37:20.295
It essentially becomes your your one page media kit because you're basically asking them to advertise.

584
00:37:21.315 --> 00:37:26.135
But you want to express some genuine benefits that are good for them and the community.

585
00:37:27.075 --> 00:37:27.575
Professionals

586
00:37:27.955 --> 00:37:32.775
such as medical doctors and veterinarians and dentists and lawyers, they respond better

587
00:37:33.810 --> 00:37:40.130
when they're not just promoting their practice in a directory, but they're part of something prestigious, first of all.

588
00:37:40.130 --> 00:37:41.510
So make it something prestigious.

589
00:37:41.890 --> 00:37:44.870
And also that it's benefiting the community at large.

590
00:37:46.885 --> 00:37:48.885
So so those are some strategies there.

591
00:37:48.885 --> 00:37:53.145
The paths is, you know, the I I definitely recommend adding them to your directory no matter what.

592
00:37:53.605 --> 00:37:54.725
You can write a review.

593
00:37:54.725 --> 00:37:57.545
You can email them, letting them know that you've added them to your directory,

594
00:37:58.165 --> 00:37:59.065
as a significant

595
00:37:59.859 --> 00:38:00.839
figure in the industry.

596
00:38:01.619 --> 00:38:09.160
And then you if you're gonna go door to door, which is also good as what Jeff did with Find Medical Tourism, is have some kind of a professional infographic ready,

597
00:38:09.859 --> 00:38:12.520
infographic ready that clearly outlines

598
00:38:12.900 --> 00:38:16.695
your your mission, what you're doing, and how they can get involved.

599
00:38:18.435 --> 00:38:24.135
And And and and another thing Jeff would do to add on top of that, I love that tip and I've used it myself,

600
00:38:24.515 --> 00:38:28.055
is he would go in and if it's if he's pitching plastic surgeons,

601
00:38:28.640 --> 00:38:32.180
he would have one of the top plastic surgeons have an account on his website.

602
00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:40.320
And instead of calling that plastic surgeon to tell him he has an account, he would tell the other plastic surgeons, doctor Smith's already advertising with us.

603
00:38:40.560 --> 00:38:43.335
And I'm sure you don't wanna miss out on opportunities as well.

604
00:38:43.415 --> 00:38:46.474
If, you know, and they kinda if they know that they have a peer,

605
00:38:47.015 --> 00:38:48.155
AKA a competitor

606
00:38:48.455 --> 00:38:53.115
that's advertising on your website, you could make them feel like they're missing out on an opportunity

607
00:38:53.494 --> 00:38:55.095
rather than having them claim their profile.

608
00:38:55.095 --> 00:38:58.810
And that like like Jason just said, doctors, lawyers, accountants,

609
00:38:59.350 --> 00:39:04.230
those types of professionals, they know who their competitors are, and it is very competitive out there.

610
00:39:04.230 --> 00:39:09.045
So if you leverage that competitive juice, they're not gonna want them to have a leg up on them.

611
00:39:09.125 --> 00:39:17.785
And a flip side to that is you can add the competitors to your site, and then go in person to the doctor who's not on the site, and show him that, hey, your competitors

612
00:39:18.325 --> 00:39:20.505
are on the site. You should join as well.

613
00:39:21.285 --> 00:39:24.500
I just shared a link in the in the GoToWebinar

614
00:39:24.880 --> 00:39:29.620
chat. This is an email script we used a long time ago. I think it's still valid.

615
00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:31.460
It's basically a boilerplate

616
00:39:32.400 --> 00:39:32.900
email,

617
00:39:33.360 --> 00:39:40.605
and if you're if you're in contact with someone and you want to get in touch with them, this basically encourages them to sign up to your site.

618
00:39:41.704 --> 00:39:50.525
And you might want to modify a little bit, but I think I think it's a good way to kind of break the ice and invite people to to your website if you're just starting out.

619
00:39:51.480 --> 00:39:56.780
And then with that I wanted to say lastly Jim, and Patrick is a big advocate for this as well,

620
00:39:57.160 --> 00:39:57.660
is

621
00:39:58.440 --> 00:40:00.460
if getting them to start paying

622
00:40:01.160 --> 00:40:06.859
is becomes a hurdle, and none of these strategies are working for you, perhaps you want to just offer

623
00:40:07.205 --> 00:40:12.505
a free option for them to get their feet wet, and focus on getting your free membership,

624
00:40:13.605 --> 00:40:14.425
member base

625
00:40:15.365 --> 00:40:21.770
built up, and then focus on how to upgrade them at a later time. So you can always do that also.

626
00:40:23.830 --> 00:40:27.850
Okay. Sounds great, guys. Alright. Thanks a lot for that good question there, Jim.

627
00:40:28.150 --> 00:40:33.350
Yeah. I'll, I'll I'll I got a couple two more questions, but I'll just, I won't talk to to space.

628
00:40:33.350 --> 00:40:35.450
I'll let someone else know. Alright. Thank you, Jim.

629
00:40:35.875 --> 00:40:36.375
Okay.

630
00:40:36.755 --> 00:40:39.735
Alright. Good. Good. Thank you, Jim. Jim from Ontario there.

631
00:40:40.675 --> 00:40:41.155
Alright.

632
00:40:41.475 --> 00:40:44.375
Let's see here. We'll go with another j name here.

633
00:40:45.075 --> 00:40:46.855
Joe, we've unmuted your microphone.

634
00:40:48.890 --> 00:40:49.390
Hi.

635
00:40:49.690 --> 00:40:51.630
How are you, Joe? Can you hear me?

636
00:40:52.090 --> 00:40:52.590
Yeah.

637
00:40:53.290 --> 00:40:54.350
Yeah. I'm I'm

638
00:40:54.650 --> 00:40:57.950
finally launching my directory. I've got a couple more directories

639
00:40:58.650 --> 00:41:01.310
waiting to be launched, but I'm starting off with this one.

640
00:41:02.375 --> 00:41:05.595
It's premcanada.com,prem.

641
00:41:06.055 --> 00:41:07.755
Alright. Do you mind if we check it out?

642
00:41:08.295 --> 00:41:09.595
Sure, please. Alright.

643
00:41:11.175 --> 00:41:13.115
And what's your question for us today?

644
00:41:13.734 --> 00:41:15.115
Question is, I've imported

645
00:41:16.960 --> 00:41:23.220
I've, imported all my members that I've made a list from as a CSV file as claim listings.

646
00:41:24.720 --> 00:41:28.260
Problem I'm having is using a third party click,

647
00:41:29.484 --> 00:41:32.765
third party email server to send out, the email.

648
00:41:32.765 --> 00:41:39.665
How do I get each member their own profile so when they click on the link, it takes them to the to claim their own listing?

649
00:41:40.605 --> 00:41:41.100
Perfect.

650
00:41:41.500 --> 00:41:47.120
I'll show you how to do that right now. Let me go to a sample site just so we're not using the

651
00:41:47.500 --> 00:41:49.440
email addresses of your live members.

652
00:41:50.220 --> 00:41:50.720
Right.

653
00:41:51.260 --> 00:41:54.720
I'll just go to, our our demo bootstrap site real quick.

654
00:42:01.135 --> 00:42:01.635
So

655
00:42:02.175 --> 00:42:08.770
we actually Pat, do we have documentation on how to merge the website name and the file name of the We do have an article

656
00:42:09.630 --> 00:42:12.590
for that. Do you want me to get that for you real quick and share the link? Yes.

657
00:42:12.590 --> 00:42:17.650
And I'll and I'll show just real quick how you how you would execute that yourself, because it is giving you an excel,

658
00:42:19.070 --> 00:42:19.570
excel

659
00:42:20.109 --> 00:42:21.570
printout basically. So,

660
00:42:22.704 --> 00:42:27.204
remember you can always watch a replay of this a little later. So let me just,

661
00:42:29.505 --> 00:42:35.444
let me just do a quick search here. I'll just take everyone who's an active life member. This is

662
00:42:35.744 --> 00:42:38.005
good. A lot of the same themes here today.

663
00:42:38.600 --> 00:42:41.900
So there's a thousand of them. I'm just gonna export this list.

664
00:42:45.160 --> 00:42:50.060
Alright. And I'm gonna open this list. And when you export the list, you get all the member data,

665
00:42:50.520 --> 00:42:52.540
for each person. So you can obviously

666
00:42:53.605 --> 00:42:54.665
remove anything

667
00:42:55.045 --> 00:42:56.585
that you don't want.

668
00:42:57.045 --> 00:43:00.185
So in this column, we have the first name, the last name,

669
00:43:00.645 --> 00:43:02.185
their email address here,

670
00:43:02.485 --> 00:43:05.785
their company name, their phone number, etcetera, etcetera.

671
00:43:06.800 --> 00:43:10.720
Also Wow. Also what's exported a lot of stuff is exported.

672
00:43:10.720 --> 00:43:15.140
What you're interested in is what's called the file name. Let me just search for that.

673
00:43:15.359 --> 00:43:17.220
And here's the file name column.

674
00:43:17.680 --> 00:43:20.099
Okay? Mhmm. I'm gonna delete I'm gonna delete

675
00:43:20.435 --> 00:43:25.015
everything before the file name just so it's easy to follow. I'll keep their name there.

676
00:43:26.675 --> 00:43:29.555
Alright. So and I'll delete everything after the file name.

677
00:43:29.555 --> 00:43:33.655
Again, you can when you when you're importing into another system, like,

678
00:43:33.990 --> 00:43:38.250
you can choose what you want. So with the file name is basically their

679
00:43:38.550 --> 00:43:40.090
link to their profile.

680
00:43:41.110 --> 00:43:46.090
The one thing it's missing is your website URL. You see this says United States,

681
00:43:46.595 --> 00:43:50.694
you know Right. And so on. So what you wanna do is you wanna put the full,

682
00:43:52.275 --> 00:43:54.194
htvcolon.

683
00:43:54.275 --> 00:43:56.375
I'm just gonna put yoursite.com

684
00:43:56.674 --> 00:43:57.734
forward slash.

685
00:43:58.115 --> 00:43:58.615
Okay.

686
00:43:59.234 --> 00:44:01.575
And then what you wanna do in the next column,

687
00:44:02.529 --> 00:44:05.670
we're gonna combine it, and I'm gonna duplicate this all the way down.

688
00:44:05.970 --> 00:44:09.750
And what you do is, and I'll do this really slowly, do equal sign

689
00:44:10.130 --> 00:44:11.430
in the cell Mhmm.

690
00:44:12.289 --> 00:44:13.089
Click on the

691
00:44:13.730 --> 00:44:17.945
on where your website is, and then you wanna do an ampers stamp, and,

692
00:44:18.485 --> 00:44:20.505
and then click on the file name.

693
00:44:21.445 --> 00:44:23.225
And now we have a cell

694
00:44:23.605 --> 00:44:24.665
that has combined

695
00:44:25.365 --> 00:44:28.985
your website URL. I'll zoom out just a little bit so we can see it.

696
00:44:29.525 --> 00:44:36.869
So this is, just say your your URL. It's combined your URL with the with the person's extension

697
00:44:37.650 --> 00:44:45.190
here, and if you double click this, so when you're in Excel you can always double click the little circle here, and it'll copy the rule all the way down.

698
00:44:45.410 --> 00:44:46.710
And now you have

699
00:44:47.170 --> 00:44:47.670
full

700
00:44:48.615 --> 00:44:49.515
full URL

701
00:44:50.215 --> 00:44:53.815
of your member profiles that you can then use in email marketing campaigns.

702
00:44:53.815 --> 00:44:56.155
Just like you do like hello first name,

703
00:44:56.455 --> 00:44:59.835
hello John. Now you can input this into your,

704
00:45:00.855 --> 00:45:03.115
into your templates. Does that make sense?

705
00:45:03.530 --> 00:45:06.730
That's perfect. Thank you. And that makes it so much easier. Okay.

706
00:45:06.730 --> 00:45:09.790
I mean, I was up until four in the morning trying to figure that out.

707
00:45:10.170 --> 00:45:13.770
I'm sorry sorry about that. That's what webinar Wednesdays are for. Sorry about that.

708
00:45:13.770 --> 00:45:16.250
And, you know, hopefully, it'll be a little easier moving forward.

709
00:45:16.250 --> 00:45:19.585
But, Patrick, were you able to find that article on this? That I Yeah.

710
00:45:19.585 --> 00:45:25.025
I shared I shared it with everybody in the chat so everybody can can view that video as well if they're like Oh, there's a video.

711
00:45:25.025 --> 00:45:25.845
Okay. Perfect.

712
00:45:26.465 --> 00:45:29.345
Perfect. Thank you. Just one more question I had.

713
00:45:29.345 --> 00:45:33.125
I tried linking because I was gonna use Mailchimp because I I'm really

714
00:45:34.350 --> 00:45:38.850
impressed with that. So I tried linking on your link for the Mailchimp

715
00:45:39.150 --> 00:45:44.450
video, and I the link seems to be broken. I can't seem to figure out how to connect the two.

716
00:45:45.230 --> 00:45:49.810
I know I know what the issue is. Let me let me share the links with you. One moment.

717
00:45:50.214 --> 00:45:50.954
Okay. Thanks.

718
00:45:51.815 --> 00:45:52.315
Alright.

719
00:45:53.734 --> 00:45:55.355
What what are those links for?

720
00:45:57.255 --> 00:45:59.275
It's it's a it's oh, it's video links?

721
00:46:00.214 --> 00:46:03.755
Yeah. It's a series for for for Mailchimp in particular.

722
00:46:04.470 --> 00:46:04.970
Gotcha.

723
00:46:07.190 --> 00:46:07.690
Alright.

724
00:46:09.270 --> 00:46:17.910
I'll I'll share the links I'll share the links, in the chat that the and I'll put the titles of each each one, for anybody that's interested in in getting those, links in.

725
00:46:17.910 --> 00:46:19.690
Thank you. Alright. Thank you. Much appreciated.

726
00:46:20.095 --> 00:46:22.115
My pleasure. Thanks for your question, Joe.

727
00:46:23.055 --> 00:46:23.555
Alright.

728
00:46:24.575 --> 00:46:28.355
Alright. Let's see who else has some questions here with their hands,

729
00:46:28.895 --> 00:46:29.395
raised.

730
00:46:29.775 --> 00:46:30.275
Alright.

731
00:46:30.975 --> 00:46:31.475
Seth.

732
00:46:32.360 --> 00:46:37.160
Seth, I'm trying to unmute you, but it looks like you're muted on your end. Nope. There we go.

733
00:46:37.160 --> 00:46:41.340
How you doing, Seth? Yeah. Can can you hear me? Yeah. Where are you calling in from, Seth?

734
00:46:42.360 --> 00:46:46.140
Calling in from The Philippines. Awesome. What time is it there? Just out of curiosity.

735
00:46:47.424 --> 00:46:49.744
It is 08:51AM.

736
00:46:49.744 --> 00:46:51.125
Okay. Okay. Good morning.

737
00:46:52.385 --> 00:46:52.885
Morning.

738
00:46:53.505 --> 00:46:57.765
Alright. What's your question? I I had a a quick question about,

739
00:46:58.785 --> 00:46:59.285
the

740
00:46:59.744 --> 00:47:01.424
meta description. So,

741
00:47:02.340 --> 00:47:06.040
we just recently started doing blog articles on our site,

742
00:47:06.500 --> 00:47:09.800
and when we noticed when we shared the blog articles

743
00:47:10.580 --> 00:47:11.640
that the description,

744
00:47:11.940 --> 00:47:17.894
it was pretty general. It was like, you know, here's a blog shared by, you know, your site name.

745
00:47:18.035 --> 00:47:23.154
And, I get why you guys do that, you know, because there's there's other parts of the site where,

746
00:47:23.474 --> 00:47:25.015
you do kinda want it generic.

747
00:47:25.474 --> 00:47:28.295
We wanted to show a preview

748
00:47:29.040 --> 00:47:33.140
of the blog article as well, kinda like, a quick snippet, maybe like the first,

749
00:47:33.760 --> 00:47:35.780
15 words or something like that.

750
00:47:36.240 --> 00:47:41.775
We kind of figured out how to do it, but it was it was messing with the design when we did it.

751
00:47:42.255 --> 00:47:46.434
So I wanna see if you guys can maybe help me out and show me how we could change that.

752
00:47:46.895 --> 00:47:48.335
Sure. Can we take a look at your site?

753
00:47:48.335 --> 00:47:52.575
I'm I'm already gonna assume we might have to get into some of the code here, but that's okay.

754
00:47:52.815 --> 00:47:53.954
What's your site name?

755
00:47:54.430 --> 00:47:58.210
Okay. So the site is called finditangeles.com.

756
00:47:58.750 --> 00:47:59.250
Alright.

757
00:48:03.790 --> 00:48:05.410
Alright. Let me bring that up.

758
00:48:07.435 --> 00:48:11.775
Okay. And let's go to the manage posts where we can see,

759
00:48:12.795 --> 00:48:14.655
the different blog posts. So,

760
00:48:15.035 --> 00:48:17.135
I see you have three blog articles here.

761
00:48:18.075 --> 00:48:19.615
Mhmm. And let's edit,

762
00:48:20.075 --> 00:48:22.290
let's just edit this one here, the first one.

763
00:48:23.810 --> 00:48:27.030
And we'll explain to everyone first what what you're attempting

764
00:48:27.410 --> 00:48:28.550
to accomplish here.

765
00:48:28.850 --> 00:48:32.290
So you've written a blog post here, private investigator in The Philippines. That's fine.

766
00:48:32.290 --> 00:48:36.070
Let's look at the preview of it, or the the live version of it.

767
00:48:37.145 --> 00:48:41.145
Yeah. Okay. You have 60 shares on Facebook, and you have the sidebar on the left.

768
00:48:41.145 --> 00:48:43.005
So right now when you're clicking share

769
00:48:47.865 --> 00:48:55.580
What what we did let me tell you a little bit what we did, and it was kind of a temporary fix, but I don't know if our fix is good for SEO.

770
00:48:56.040 --> 00:48:58.380
Basically, we found the SEO

771
00:48:58.680 --> 00:48:59.180
template,

772
00:48:59.720 --> 00:49:00.220
basically,

773
00:49:00.520 --> 00:49:02.619
by going in the the back end and,

774
00:49:02.920 --> 00:49:05.900
I love this tool where you view the website and then you could

775
00:49:06.545 --> 00:49:07.845
kinda check out the widgets

776
00:49:08.385 --> 00:49:09.525
and also go into,

777
00:49:10.065 --> 00:49:16.405
the templates. So that's yep. Yep. That was the view we went into. So we found the SEO template,

778
00:49:17.105 --> 00:49:17.605
and

779
00:49:19.345 --> 00:49:21.045
we edited that. Now

780
00:49:21.560 --> 00:49:24.700
what I was saying before is when we we put in,

781
00:49:25.400 --> 00:49:30.040
it was like, you know, you put in the percentages to put in, like, a default value. Mhmm.

782
00:49:30.040 --> 00:49:31.100
You put in percentage

783
00:49:31.800 --> 00:49:32.780
post content,

784
00:49:33.160 --> 00:49:39.865
which actually did, what we wanted, but then it was it was screwing with the design of this type for some reason.

785
00:49:39.865 --> 00:49:42.365
So what we ended up doing is we just deleted,

786
00:49:43.145 --> 00:49:47.485
the the meta description, and it was like a temporary fix. Because if you look on Facebook,

787
00:49:47.865 --> 00:49:48.925
it does show

788
00:49:49.250 --> 00:49:52.049
The first paragraph. The description. Right. Yeah. Yeah.

789
00:49:52.049 --> 00:49:55.030
We like that, but we're thinking from an SEO perspective,

790
00:49:55.410 --> 00:49:56.710
if we don't have,

791
00:49:57.329 --> 00:50:00.770
it actually entered into the template, it might it might not be a good thing.

792
00:50:00.770 --> 00:50:02.609
So we're wondering if there's a way we can,

793
00:50:03.089 --> 00:50:03.589
actually

794
00:50:04.545 --> 00:50:06.885
instruct it to pull, like, the first,

795
00:50:07.425 --> 00:50:10.165
you know, 15 words or or whatever you guys would recommend.

796
00:50:11.665 --> 00:50:12.165
So

797
00:50:13.265 --> 00:50:15.905
I actually I mean, personally, I like what it's grabbing here.

798
00:50:16.225 --> 00:50:20.030
I'm I'm sure there's a character limit for how much it's gonna show in the preview.

799
00:50:21.370 --> 00:50:26.350
Uh-huh. It looks like it's attempted to to max it out potentially with your first paragraph.

800
00:50:29.210 --> 00:50:29.710
So

801
00:50:30.945 --> 00:50:35.905
so you wanted to show less or you wanna show something else? What is what is the ultimate goal?

802
00:50:35.905 --> 00:50:38.805
I guess the question is, if you go back to the template

803
00:50:39.345 --> 00:50:42.965
Okay. Can you go to that template? I think you were just there. It was, like, template

804
00:50:43.290 --> 00:50:45.070
through yeah. Uh-huh. Do you see

805
00:50:45.370 --> 00:50:48.990
how we deleted everything? Like, social media description is blank,

806
00:50:49.610 --> 00:50:55.930
and then if you go up also the meta description is blank. Will that be bad from an SEO perspective?

807
00:50:55.930 --> 00:50:57.390
Like, for example, if Google

808
00:50:58.015 --> 00:51:02.835
is searching for it? No. It wouldn't be bad. The social media sharing

809
00:51:03.135 --> 00:51:03.635
details,

810
00:51:04.255 --> 00:51:09.475
shouldn't affect your your search engine optimization with Google and whatnot. It's just suggesting

811
00:51:10.255 --> 00:51:11.955
what should be selected

812
00:51:13.410 --> 00:51:14.630
for like the image,

813
00:51:15.490 --> 00:51:18.950
and the title, and the description when you're sharing on social media.

814
00:51:20.130 --> 00:51:21.589
So it won't actually affect

815
00:51:22.050 --> 00:51:25.190
your Google your search engine rankings of your website,

816
00:51:25.810 --> 00:51:26.310
but

817
00:51:28.214 --> 00:51:29.035
more social

818
00:51:29.335 --> 00:51:33.755
media engagement is is showing to help search engine optimization.

819
00:51:33.894 --> 00:51:41.190
So having more engaging shareable content, and that's obviously going to be by the the titles, and and the images that you're using.

820
00:51:41.510 --> 00:51:43.530
The post is going to get shared more,

821
00:51:43.910 --> 00:51:47.450
and have more clout. So in that sense it helps your search engine optimization.

822
00:51:47.829 --> 00:51:50.890
But as far as directly affecting your SEO, like

823
00:51:51.670 --> 00:51:53.930
how how these options here, these

824
00:51:54.435 --> 00:51:54.853
these

825
00:51:55.272 --> 00:51:59.877
What about the meta description though? What about the meta description?

826
00:51:59.877 --> 00:52:03.227
Because that was another thing that we deleted.

827
00:52:03.227 --> 00:52:08.670
The meta description is actually more important these days than the meta keyword.

828
00:52:09.470 --> 00:52:14.130
Uh-huh. I think, because people used to just spam keywords and and Google doesn't

829
00:52:14.589 --> 00:52:16.049
add too much weight to it.

830
00:52:16.750 --> 00:52:17.250
But

831
00:52:17.630 --> 00:52:23.585
what Google is doing now also is they're actually they'll use your suggested description, but it's it's just that.

832
00:52:23.585 --> 00:52:34.085
Google is gonna use your suggested description, but if Google reads the content of your page and can piece together a better meta description Let me show everyone what a meta description is actually.

833
00:52:34.625 --> 00:52:37.765
So let me just search for this. Let's see if it ranks.

834
00:52:38.690 --> 00:52:40.150
I'll just do a search here.

835
00:52:42.769 --> 00:52:48.630
Okay. Well here this is a this is the the meta title if in case everyone's anyone's wondering.

836
00:52:49.250 --> 00:52:50.710
This is the meta description,

837
00:52:51.569 --> 00:52:52.069
and

838
00:52:52.914 --> 00:52:55.494
sometimes you can write the description yourself.

839
00:52:55.875 --> 00:52:56.375
Sometimes

840
00:52:56.835 --> 00:53:02.214
even if you've written one, Google will override it with with what they think is better these days.

841
00:53:02.674 --> 00:53:05.414
That will that's more relevant for the user.

842
00:53:05.954 --> 00:53:07.335
But as far as SEO,

843
00:53:07.760 --> 00:53:09.780
the description does have more weight

844
00:53:11.520 --> 00:53:12.960
than than the keywords these days.

845
00:53:12.960 --> 00:53:20.099
So having a good quality description is important, more so for getting the user to click rather than just filling it with keywords.

846
00:53:20.664 --> 00:53:25.805
If that makes sense. So do you think do you think it would be beneficial for us to, for example,

847
00:53:26.424 --> 00:53:32.520
in the meta description put what I was describing before where it's like default post content or something like that?

848
00:53:34.120 --> 00:53:38.300
Yeah. I would I would do that, but if if you have nothing else to to put there,

849
00:53:39.480 --> 00:53:44.060
you you might wanna do that. Another thing you might wanna do for the description

850
00:53:44.360 --> 00:53:45.580
is something like this.

851
00:53:46.875 --> 00:53:48.735
Let me let me show you what you can do.

852
00:53:50.475 --> 00:53:51.935

865
00:54:30.630 --> 00:54:31.770
news about,

866
00:54:32.470 --> 00:54:36.730
and then you could do industry, but you can hard code it since you're you don't need to use the variable

867
00:54:37.670 --> 00:54:38.890
industry today.

868
00:54:39.750 --> 00:54:40.390
So you can

869
00:54:41.225 --> 00:54:42.045
your description,

870
00:54:42.665 --> 00:54:51.165
what you can do is instead of trying to just use the content, because if you don't have a description probably Google's just gonna use your con the article itself as part of the description.

871
00:54:51.385 --> 00:54:56.540
But this way you can Okay. You can put your website name in, you know, in here again.

872
00:54:56.680 --> 00:54:59.020
You can just make it a little bit more compelling,

873
00:54:59.960 --> 00:55:01.580
than what the article is

874
00:55:02.040 --> 00:55:04.060
is saying itself. Because Oh, okay.

875
00:55:04.360 --> 00:55:07.400
Can we can we see what that looks like on the front end?

876
00:55:07.560 --> 00:55:10.065
Because when I tried to do that it for some reason was

877
00:55:11.025 --> 00:55:13.045
it screwed with the design a little bit,

878
00:55:13.825 --> 00:55:17.125
and I just didn't know why that was. So that's why we left it blank.

879
00:55:17.905 --> 00:55:18.405
Okay.

880
00:55:23.460 --> 00:55:29.160
Let's let's try it. Yeah. That's great. That's a great great tool. Alright. Let me, save this,

881
00:55:30.420 --> 00:55:30.920
and

882
00:55:31.540 --> 00:55:35.240
all we need to do is make sure I spelled profession and industry correct.

883
00:55:36.335 --> 00:55:39.075
So is that how you spell profession? Two s's. Yep. Profession.

884
00:55:40.895 --> 00:55:42.355
Let me get rid okay.

885
00:55:44.095 --> 00:55:45.315
Let me grab this.

886
00:55:46.174 --> 00:55:48.835
Oh, here's the sorry. Here's the Yeah. What we're finding

887
00:55:49.480 --> 00:55:54.600
with the default one is it said something like, check out the new blog article posted by Find It.

888
00:55:54.600 --> 00:55:56.200
You know, it's very, kinda,

889
00:55:56.680 --> 00:56:02.540
dry. So we want to spice it up a bit. Okay. So here is your meta description for Google

890
00:56:02.920 --> 00:56:04.060
that I just wrote.

891
00:56:04.440 --> 00:56:05.100
It says,

892
00:56:05.454 --> 00:56:08.434
check out this amazing article about private investigator

893
00:56:08.895 --> 00:56:12.415
in Philippines case file, whatever. That's that's good because it's kinda

894
00:56:13.454 --> 00:56:16.915
first of all, your title should have important keywords in it also.

895
00:56:17.760 --> 00:56:22.000
So then repeating that in the description, or having a variation of it will help you.

896
00:56:22.000 --> 00:56:23.940
And then you can see here it says,

897
00:56:25.120 --> 00:56:25.940

it's not it's not a it's not a horrible description to be honest. It's pretty good.

902
00:56:38.684 --> 00:56:39.484
So this Yeah.

903
00:56:39.724 --> 00:56:44.720
This is what this is what people will read now for those of you watching in this area here,

904
00:56:45.180 --> 00:56:49.660
and it's basically gonna give them a little insight into what the article is about.

905
00:56:49.660 --> 00:56:54.780
So it's not verbatim what's in the article, it's more encouraging them to read the article.

906
00:56:54.780 --> 00:56:56.880
It's a little more proactive in that sense.

907
00:56:57.995 --> 00:56:59.215
Yeah. That's really cool.

908
00:56:59.675 --> 00:57:02.815
Yeah. Can you look at the blog, in the site itself,

909
00:57:03.435 --> 00:57:08.795
just very quickly? Okay. You wanna see if it anything changed. Yeah. I just wanna see if no.

910
00:57:08.795 --> 00:57:10.895
It looks like it's all all good. Interesting.

911
00:57:11.820 --> 00:57:16.300
Yeah. Perfect. That that's that's exactly what I wanted. Okay. Alright. Cool.

912
00:57:16.300 --> 00:57:19.600
And, honestly, I think that's that's a killer description right now.

913
00:57:20.140 --> 00:57:21.620
Yeah. I think it actually worked out well.

914
00:57:21.620 --> 00:57:26.505
I mean, we'll tweak it a little bit, but that's that's really yeah. I think that works quite well.

915
00:57:27.065 --> 00:57:28.684
Just a very quick question.

916
00:57:29.305 --> 00:57:32.765
We we do a lot of customizations on our site. Do you guys have a recommendation

917
00:57:33.625 --> 00:57:35.805
of how we cannot lose

918
00:57:36.184 --> 00:57:37.005
those customizations

919
00:57:37.305 --> 00:57:41.565
when you guys do an update? Because I've noticed you guys do these updates, which is awesome,

920
00:57:42.140 --> 00:57:42.880
but sometimes

921
00:57:43.180 --> 00:57:44.000
we'll lose

922
00:57:44.380 --> 00:57:45.040
a customization.

923
00:57:45.340 --> 00:57:46.480
Do you guys have, like,

924
00:57:46.860 --> 00:57:48.000
tips in that regard?

925
00:57:49.020 --> 00:57:52.240
So when an update is done, it's usually to the

926
00:57:52.700 --> 00:57:57.200
the the default widgets that haven't been customized on your site. We'll never change

927
00:57:57.735 --> 00:58:00.475
a customized widget on your site. So if you're experiencing

928
00:58:01.255 --> 00:58:02.235
any any

929
00:58:03.095 --> 00:58:03.175
issues,

930
00:58:04.455 --> 00:58:09.435
it it might be that something that's been customized is conflicting with what is now core functionality.

931
00:58:11.052 --> 00:58:15.730
The best thing so we'll never we'll never edit your custom customized code on your site.

932
00:58:15.730 --> 00:58:17.110
That will always stay the same.

933
00:58:17.730 --> 00:58:19.510
If you're noticing any irregularities

934
00:58:20.050 --> 00:58:20.950
on your site,

935
00:58:21.490 --> 00:58:24.310
after maybe a recent update or just over time,

936
00:58:24.725 --> 00:58:30.805
those are the things that you can email the support team on and they'll try to identify what might be the cause for that.

937
00:58:30.805 --> 00:58:35.145
We have a few tools that we use to debug your site and troubleshoot it on our end.

938
00:58:35.605 --> 00:58:36.505
So they'll go

939
00:58:38.130 --> 00:58:43.010
if it is one of your customized widgets, if it's something that was recently pushed that we should roll back.

940
00:58:43.010 --> 00:58:44.390
You know sometimes that happens.

941
00:58:45.250 --> 00:58:53.925
So communicating with the support team is the is the best way to let us know that that if something's not right on your site, we definitely wanna make sure it's working.

942
00:58:54.165 --> 00:58:58.825
So so Okay. Perfect. And we found we found that it it is kind of like a duplicating

943
00:58:59.285 --> 00:59:02.825
widget or the widgets overriding. So okay. So we can just

944
00:59:03.640 --> 00:59:05.160
communicate with support. That's perfect.

945
00:59:05.160 --> 00:59:11.340
They have a protocol to kind of figure out what might troubleshoot, what might be causing your site any problems.

946
00:59:12.520 --> 00:59:15.580
Okay. Great. Thank you so much for your help. You're welcome.

947
00:59:16.440 --> 00:59:17.340
You want it, Pat?

948
00:59:17.655 --> 00:59:17.975
Yeah.

949
00:59:17.975 --> 00:59:22.715
I was gonna say they're they also publish on a weekly basis all the widgets that have received updates.

950
00:59:23.335 --> 00:59:29.835
So if if you have a a site and you wanna stay on top of all the updates that are going on, there's a lot of transparency there as well,

951
00:59:30.375 --> 00:59:33.035
which a lot of people do. So that that's also helpful.

952
00:59:33.500 --> 00:59:38.800
Where where can we find that? Where can we find that when they Developers.directories.com.

953
00:59:39.020 --> 00:59:41.020
It's at developers.currentdirectories.com.

954
00:59:41.020 --> 00:59:42.540
Let me let me go there real quick.

955
00:59:42.859 --> 00:59:44.880

960
01:00:01.289 --> 01:00:04.510
But if you look at, it says weekly software update. Click on January.

961
01:00:05.690 --> 01:00:07.789
There's January's most recent updates,

962
01:00:08.170 --> 01:00:11.950
and you can see all the updates that have been pushed. And then below, you'll see the actual

963
01:00:12.325 --> 01:00:13.785
widgets. Every time a widget

any sort of update that happens to a widget will always be described there, and it'll tell you why they were updated.

965
01:00:19.525 --> 01:00:22.085
And then there's a lot of software tools. They're amazing.

966
01:00:22.085 --> 01:00:26.580
So if you have a custom widget, you paste the code of your custom widget on on the left side.

967
01:00:26.580 --> 01:00:30.580
You put the default widget on the right side, and it'll highlight what code is missing.

968
01:00:30.580 --> 01:00:37.640
So oftentimes, billing directories may have edited just a single line of code, and you just need to update that in your custom widget, and your custom functionality

969
01:00:38.340 --> 01:00:42.464
keeps working as it should. So that's what I personally do.

970
01:00:42.464 --> 01:00:46.385
All all of my sites are are heavily customized, and it's just a quick,

971
01:00:46.944 --> 01:00:51.505
just a a quick, glance here and see if there's any widgets that I recognize that I may have edited.

972
01:00:51.505 --> 01:00:56.940
And if so, just take a few seconds and update the code. I'm gonna share this link in the chat here.

973
01:00:57.000 --> 01:00:59.180
It's where people can find weekly updates.

974
01:01:01.560 --> 01:01:07.100
Alright. Are you alright. Seth, great question. Good thing good thing to cover there, so thank you.

975
01:01:07.320 --> 01:01:07.820
Alright.

976
01:01:08.280 --> 01:01:13.445
Moving along. A lot of marketing related questions here today. It's good. It's good, good stuff.

977
01:01:14.224 --> 01:01:15.365
And we will continue,

978
01:01:15.905 --> 01:01:17.205
with the questions here.

979
01:01:17.585 --> 01:01:18.085
Alright.

980
01:01:18.625 --> 01:01:23.365
Sheila. Sheila's joined us in many webinars. Great to see you. How are you today?

981
01:01:25.650 --> 01:01:30.609
You there with us, Sheila? Did you say Sheila? Sheila. Yes. Oh, okay. You did say that. Yeah. Hi.

982
01:01:30.609 --> 01:01:33.109
How are you? Great. Great. Thanks for joining us today.

983
01:01:34.050 --> 01:01:35.190
Yes. Thank you.

984
01:01:35.650 --> 01:01:37.670
I have two quick questions. My

985
01:01:38.130 --> 01:01:39.109
site is

986
01:01:39.585 --> 01:01:41.125
bydoandme.com.

987
01:01:41.585 --> 01:01:44.005
K. Let's head on over there. Okay.

988
01:01:44.865 --> 01:01:47.205
I'll close down some of my windows. Chicago.

989
01:01:47.905 --> 01:01:50.645
Chicago. Alright. How's the weather in Chicago right now?

990
01:01:51.265 --> 01:01:56.150
It's warm right now. Well, warm as in 35, so that's warm for us.

991
01:01:56.930 --> 01:01:57.430
Alright.

992
01:01:59.650 --> 01:02:02.290
Alright. We're at FidoandMe.com.

993
01:02:02.290 --> 01:02:04.390
Let's check out your homepage here.

994
01:02:05.570 --> 01:02:07.350
And what's your question for me?

995
01:02:07.825 --> 01:02:11.045
Okay. So my question is one of the questions is,

996
01:02:12.065 --> 01:02:21.200
when we get to the, widgets and things that have been, when when you get that that flag that says or that yellow flag that says, do How

997
01:02:21.500 --> 01:02:22.000
do

998
01:02:22.300 --> 01:02:22.800
I

999
01:02:23.260 --> 01:02:26.720
know which one to, delete or deactivate?

1000
01:02:27.820 --> 01:02:28.800
In your widgets,

1001
01:02:29.180 --> 01:02:32.400
I can you wanna you wanna take over, Pat, here?

1002
01:02:33.575 --> 01:02:36.395
Yeah. No. No. You you don't yeah. We can let me see if I can,

1003
01:02:37.494 --> 01:02:40.855
one second. Let's go look at the widgets that are in there, and I can explain it. Yeah.

1004
01:02:40.855 --> 01:02:41.895
So I can go ahead and,

1005
01:02:42.934 --> 01:02:47.095
and look at it if you want. I'm I'm on our I'm on on our website as well. Alright.

1006
01:02:47.095 --> 01:02:51.056
Let me pass her over. Basically basically it's okay. You can do it.

1007
01:02:51.056 --> 01:02:53.753
Basically, this is the logic of the duplicate functionality.

1008
01:02:53.753 --> 01:02:59.147
If Jason scrolls down, I believe you're gonna see the default widgets, below all the custom widgets.

1009
01:02:59.147 --> 01:03:04.145
So those are the default widgets. So all of the default widgets have the master code.

1010
01:03:04.145 --> 01:03:05.445
So when Brilliant Directories

1011
01:03:05.905 --> 01:03:07.045
releases an update

1012
01:03:07.425 --> 01:03:13.265
to a widget, which we just looked in the previous question, that they're gonna only put that code in the default widget.

1013
01:03:13.265 --> 01:03:18.060
So that's why Jason's able to tell you we're never gonna put and we're gonna customize

1014
01:03:18.440 --> 01:03:21.580
your custom code. Nothing gets pushed to custom widgets.

1015
01:03:22.040 --> 01:03:30.065
So what this means, the reason it's duplicate is the system is telling you, you have customized the widget that has zero

1016
01:03:30.365 --> 01:03:30.865
customization

1017
01:03:31.165 --> 01:03:33.185
code in there, which means it's an exact

1018
01:03:33.645 --> 01:03:35.585
copy of the master widget.

1019
01:03:35.965 --> 01:03:37.665
So if you keep this duplicate

1020
01:03:37.965 --> 01:03:40.305
as a customized widget, when directory

1021
01:03:40.765 --> 01:03:47.220
pushes an update to the hero divider, you are not gonna get it on your site because you have it as a customized widget.

1022
01:03:47.280 --> 01:03:48.980
You're not gonna receive the update.

1023
01:03:49.119 --> 01:03:54.339
So it's a detriment to your site to have a duplicate widget customized. The only reason

1024
01:03:54.640 --> 01:03:58.175
you should customize a widget is because you've actually intended

1025
01:03:58.555 --> 01:04:01.615
to customize that widget and there's some custom code in there.

1026
01:04:01.835 --> 01:04:08.015
So oftentimes people customize widgets by accident because they wanna look at the code and then they never disable the widget.

1027
01:04:08.410 --> 01:04:12.010
That widget stops getting updates when it should have been getting updates all along.

1028
01:04:12.010 --> 01:04:16.890
I don't know if that helps answer the question. With with that said Yes. So when it Go ahead.

1029
01:04:16.890 --> 01:04:19.530
Go ahead. Sorry. Go ahead. I was gonna No. No. You go ahead.

1030
01:04:19.530 --> 01:04:23.230
I was gonna say with that said, if you do see any yellow,

1031
01:04:24.265 --> 01:04:26.125
highlighted widgets in your customized

1032
01:04:26.905 --> 01:04:27.885
widget area,

1033
01:04:28.185 --> 01:04:29.085
you can safely

1034
01:04:29.625 --> 01:04:30.765
delete those because

1035
01:04:31.225 --> 01:04:31.725
they're

1036
01:04:32.505 --> 01:04:37.490
exact copies of the default widgets. There's no change in your overriding customize.

1037
01:04:37.550 --> 01:04:42.510
The reason you customize a widget is to override our default code, which a lot of developers like to do.

1038
01:04:42.510 --> 01:04:45.410
It gives them access to add their own touch to the code.

1039
01:04:45.710 --> 01:04:51.285
So if you have, if it's yellow, it means you haven't made any changes and they're essentially erroneous at this point.

1040
01:04:51.444 --> 01:04:52.184
You should

1041
01:04:52.565 --> 01:04:57.385
just, you should nothing is gonna change on your website. You you should just go ahead and,

1042
01:04:57.765 --> 01:04:58.664
delete the,

1043
01:04:59.204 --> 01:05:01.145
all the yellow highlighted ones.

1044
01:05:02.645 --> 01:05:07.040
Perfect. And for those that are scared to delete, even though I agree with Jason, you can delete.

1045
01:05:07.040 --> 01:05:12.020
I know there's some people that are antsy about deleting. There's an amazing option to disable.

1046
01:05:12.320 --> 01:05:19.360
So if you wanna disable it, what that does, in case everybody anybody's wondering, is it puts the the word old or I believe what is it?

1047
01:05:19.360 --> 01:05:23.215
You wanna go ahead and disable it, Jason? Yeah. It We'll see what it does to the actual widget.

1048
01:05:23.215 --> 01:05:24.675
I think it's gonna rename it.

1049
01:05:25.135 --> 01:05:28.675
It's gonna rename it with the word disabled within the widget.

1050
01:05:29.535 --> 01:05:32.195
So that widget is disabled. Just give it a second.

1051
01:05:32.550 --> 01:05:34.170
And now it's red here.

1052
01:05:34.630 --> 01:05:42.170
So if you if you're afraid that some of like Pat said, deleting a duplicate widget because you think there is customized code in there,

1053
01:05:42.550 --> 01:05:50.805
a good step would be first to disable all of them, see that everything on your site is working as normal, then you can safely delete the customized widgets.

1054
01:05:50.865 --> 01:05:55.845
Our recommendation is always to not customize which is widgets as much as possible,

1055
01:05:56.465 --> 01:05:59.685
but it's obviously a great asset to be able to do that as well.

1056
01:06:01.220 --> 01:06:05.700
Okay. Perfect. Thank you. And then my last question, I hope I can have one just one more. Go ahead.

1057
01:06:05.700 --> 01:06:06.260
On my home

1058
01:06:06.980 --> 01:06:08.440
yes. On my home page,

1059
01:06:09.059 --> 01:06:10.359
I have all my categories

1060
01:06:10.660 --> 01:06:11.160
showing.

1061
01:06:11.780 --> 01:06:13.319
I wanted to know,

1062
01:06:13.944 --> 01:06:15.885
is there a way to just show

1063
01:06:16.664 --> 01:06:17.724
only the categories

1064
01:06:18.105 --> 01:06:19.244
that I feel

1065
01:06:19.785 --> 01:06:22.365
are well, we have the most data.

1066
01:06:23.464 --> 01:06:28.080
Yes. So let's say There there Perfect. Can you show me how to do that? Absolutely.

1067
01:06:28.080 --> 01:06:30.740
So let me just backtrack just for a moment.

1068
01:06:32.480 --> 01:06:35.140
What Sheila is showing on her homepage is one of

1069
01:06:36.000 --> 01:06:37.860
the pieces of content you can

1070
01:06:38.320 --> 01:06:40.900
showcase on your homepage. She's showing her categories

1071
01:06:41.200 --> 01:06:42.020
of her website.

1072
01:06:42.954 --> 01:06:45.695
And where you can do that is in the Design Settings,

1073
01:06:46.395 --> 01:06:47.375
Homepage Layout,

1074
01:06:47.835 --> 01:06:50.255
and you have a section order you can actually

1075
01:06:50.714 --> 01:06:54.155
choose what you want in a stream as you scroll down your homepage.

1076
01:06:54.155 --> 01:06:56.990
So she's showing her categories, coupons,

1077
01:06:57.370 --> 01:06:58.350
etcetera, etcetera.

1078
01:06:59.930 --> 01:07:02.190
Another cool thing we have is actually

1079
01:07:03.210 --> 01:07:05.230
options for the section orders.

1080
01:07:06.170 --> 01:07:09.765
And I think the categories one has the most options. So

1081
01:07:10.565 --> 01:07:13.545
here are the options. Sort by order ascending,

1082
01:07:14.404 --> 01:07:16.984
descending, a to z, z to a.

1083
01:07:17.605 --> 01:07:22.184
What you can do is you can go to your categories, and then go to members, member categories.

1084
01:07:25.410 --> 01:07:25.910
And,

1085
01:07:26.610 --> 01:07:28.470
do you notice here that you've added,

1086
01:07:29.010 --> 01:07:29.990
numbers here?

1087
01:07:30.690 --> 01:07:32.790
One Yeah. Two, three, four.

1088
01:07:33.490 --> 01:07:35.910
So how many do you wanna show, for example?

1089
01:07:36.815 --> 01:07:39.795
I wanna show the ones that have the most

1090
01:07:40.095 --> 01:07:42.995
members in them. And I tried to do this,

1091
01:07:43.455 --> 01:07:46.995
and the ones that I didn't want to show, I have them at zero,

1092
01:07:47.295 --> 01:07:50.230
but they still it didn't work. Okay. Let's,

1093
01:07:50.710 --> 01:07:53.990
let's let's want to show about nine of them. Nine of them. Alright.

1094
01:07:53.990 --> 01:07:56.390
I'm just gonna I'm gonna delete the ones that aren't in the hundreds.

1095
01:07:56.390 --> 01:07:58.330
I'm gonna remove the number from here.

1096
01:07:58.790 --> 01:08:01.130
So they don't they don't all need numbers.

1097
01:08:03.045 --> 01:08:06.645
So Oh, okay. Then it's yeah. It's a little bit of a trickier.

1098
01:08:06.645 --> 01:08:09.785
Then it will only show, and I'll show you why it's gonna do that.

1099
01:08:11.444 --> 01:08:15.285
So now I know and now you answered my question, really. Because now I understand.

1100
01:08:15.285 --> 01:08:17.785
I put zero, and I should have just left it blank.

1101
01:08:18.550 --> 01:08:19.050
Correct.

1102
01:08:19.830 --> 01:08:23.529
Or you can set it to a really high number like 9,000,

1103
01:08:23.750 --> 01:08:24.409
and then

1104
01:08:24.710 --> 01:08:27.929
only show eight results. It'll show the eight lowest results,

1105
01:08:28.310 --> 01:08:31.130
in that in that case. Okay. So how many do you wanna show?

1106
01:08:32.075 --> 01:08:36.314
About nine of them. Nine of them. Alright. Let me see. I don't know how many I deleted here.

1107
01:08:36.314 --> 01:08:41.455
Let me save those changes. And then what you want to do is number of results. I think

1108
01:08:42.155 --> 01:08:46.655
it does in rows of four, so how about we do eight so it's an even row of

1109
01:08:47.830 --> 01:08:51.850
4 x 4? That's fine. Alright. So I'm going to set it to eight results.

1110
01:08:53.109 --> 01:08:54.969
And then this is where this comes in handy.

1111
01:08:55.750 --> 01:09:00.215
Sort by order ascending. So it's talking about the numbers that we just set, the order.

1112
01:09:00.215 --> 01:09:04.155
So if you wanted to set one to number one, you can have it in the number one position.

1113
01:09:04.455 --> 01:09:05.995
So let me save these changes.

1114
01:09:07.335 --> 01:09:07.835
Okay.

1115
01:09:09.495 --> 01:09:11.035
And it just takes a second.

1116
01:09:11.495 --> 01:09:13.675
Okay. And let's refresh your homepage.

1117
01:09:15.950 --> 01:09:17.970
Alright. So now we have eight results.

1118
01:09:19.229 --> 01:09:24.210
Oh, that's how you do it. Okay. And Got it. Travel is the first one,

1119
01:09:25.550 --> 01:09:29.729
and I think what we want where's travel? Let's see.

1120
01:09:30.965 --> 01:09:35.204
Oh, it did set these Yeah. And travel really didn't. It it did set those to zero, actually.

1121
01:09:35.204 --> 01:09:38.024
So so what actually, that's that's let me

1122
01:09:39.925 --> 01:09:41.385
I don't know. Leave blank

1123
01:09:42.404 --> 01:09:45.270
for category. I'm gonna this we should fix that, actually.

1124
01:09:45.830 --> 01:09:46.310
Categories

1125
01:09:46.790 --> 01:09:49.350
Okay. Part order if blank. Yes. Alright.

1126
01:09:49.350 --> 01:09:53.670
So I'm not crazy because I thought I was going crazy that was doing this. So so let me do this.

1127
01:09:53.670 --> 01:09:55.930
Let me just set these to like 999,

1128
01:09:56.150 --> 01:09:59.210
all the ones that are zero right now. It'll put them out of the range.

1129
01:10:03.105 --> 01:10:06.965
Because now it's just making them a really high number. It's okay that they're the same.

1130
01:10:09.505 --> 01:10:13.950
Okay. And okay. So let me save that again, and let's give it another shot.

1131
01:10:14.350 --> 01:10:16.290
The first one should be the,

1132
01:10:17.470 --> 01:10:18.530
boarding and daycare.

1133
01:10:19.470 --> 01:10:21.010
So let's refresh this.

1134
01:10:22.190 --> 01:10:26.290
There we go. So now we got the the ones in range that we wanna show.

1135
01:10:26.735 --> 01:10:27.635
Boarding and daycare,

1136
01:10:28.494 --> 01:10:29.934
you know, funerals and greens.

1137
01:10:29.934 --> 01:10:32.974
So these are the ones that actually have, like, one, two, three, four, five, six.

1138
01:10:32.974 --> 01:10:35.695
And all the ones you don't want are number 999.

1139
01:10:35.695 --> 01:10:38.835
So they're just way out of the range, and you're only showing eight of them.

1140
01:10:40.510 --> 01:10:45.230
Perfect. Alright. Thank you. Go on. You're very welcome. Site looks great, by the way. Yes.

1141
01:10:45.230 --> 01:10:47.010
I just launched it right before,

1142
01:10:48.190 --> 01:10:50.530
New Year's. So thank you. Congratulations.

1143
01:10:52.110 --> 01:10:52.850
Thank you.

1144
01:10:53.745 --> 01:10:54.245
Alright.

1145
01:10:54.864 --> 01:10:56.405
Great question from Sheila.

1146
01:10:57.025 --> 01:10:58.804
She this is great recommendations,

1147
01:10:59.264 --> 01:11:01.685
for when you're saving your short order from your categories.

1148
01:11:03.025 --> 01:11:06.145
Alright. I think we got time for just a couple more questions here.

1149
01:11:06.145 --> 01:11:08.970
Blair, I'm gonna try unmuting your microphone here.

1150
01:11:10.730 --> 01:11:11.790
How you doing, Blair?

1151
01:11:12.570 --> 01:11:16.670
I'm doing great, Jason. Happy New Year to everybody. Happy New Year to you too.

1152
01:11:17.530 --> 01:11:19.790
Just a real quick question, Jason.

1153
01:11:20.090 --> 01:11:22.350
The site is thestage.com.

1154
01:11:22.410 --> 01:11:24.270
Alright. Let's take a look.

1155
01:11:27.025 --> 01:11:27.525
And

1156
01:11:28.145 --> 01:11:32.085
each day, we have a, featured artist, music artist of the day,

1157
01:11:32.465 --> 01:11:34.565
and, use the social

1158
01:11:34.945 --> 01:11:35.445
share,

1159
01:11:37.610 --> 01:11:38.510
to share,

1160
01:11:38.969 --> 01:11:40.110
the these profiles.

1161
01:11:41.050 --> 01:11:45.070
Obviously, the only issue we do have is sharing to Instagram.

1162
01:11:46.730 --> 01:11:50.510
What I'm trying to do is download a high resolution photo,

1163
01:11:51.675 --> 01:11:53.775
of the artist of the day.

1164
01:11:55.275 --> 01:11:56.175
And I can't

1165
01:11:56.554 --> 01:12:02.875
you know, when I go to the member's profile, I can't delete I mean, excuse me. I can't download a,

1166
01:12:03.275 --> 01:12:06.255
high resolution photo. Is there a way to

1167
01:12:06.890 --> 01:12:08.990
go in? Even if I go into their,

1168
01:12:09.450 --> 01:12:10.590
profile directly,

1169
01:12:10.970 --> 01:12:12.730
it still doesn't download in,

1170
01:12:13.930 --> 01:12:14.430
high,

1171
01:12:15.450 --> 01:12:16.190
high resolution.

1172
01:12:18.250 --> 01:12:20.190
So it creates an issue on Instagram

1173
01:12:20.570 --> 01:12:21.950
Gotcha. Share directly.

1174
01:12:22.305 --> 01:12:25.765
Because this is the only image size that you're getting is is this

1175
01:12:26.145 --> 01:12:28.725
one sixty two box. It's a small image.

1176
01:12:29.824 --> 01:12:33.185
Right. And I know there's some ways on the on our back end to

1177
01:12:34.520 --> 01:12:39.980
at least there used to be to see photos or, so I'm just trying to see if there's a workaround of

1178
01:12:41.160 --> 01:12:42.360
downloading it. There is

1179
01:12:43.480 --> 01:12:43.980
there

1180
01:12:44.680 --> 01:12:48.300
there is what now what's the ideal resolution for Instagram?

1181
01:12:49.995 --> 01:12:52.155
Boy, I I I really don't know that.

1182
01:12:52.475 --> 01:12:56.735
I just know that whatever I download from directly from the site is just,

1183
01:12:59.435 --> 01:13:01.835
not useful. Okay. I have two options that you could

1184
01:13:06.290 --> 01:13:08.790
let me go No. I do do it. They do have Facebook

1185
01:13:10.530 --> 01:13:15.250
link. I do go over there, and I can save it. But, you know, it's an extra step.

1186
01:13:15.250 --> 01:13:19.430
If I can just do it right from brilliant directories, that'd be great.

1187
01:13:19.925 --> 01:13:25.065
Gotcha. So so what happens is and this is actually really cool to to share with everyone. So,

1188
01:13:25.445 --> 01:13:31.305
you know, when the members upload their their image, they might upload an image that's 5,000 pixels

1189
01:13:31.925 --> 01:13:37.150
in size. They might upload an image that's tiny, 10 pixels. It's, you know, minute.

1190
01:13:38.090 --> 01:13:45.389
The system has settings for you to that will adjust the size of the image, and that's under

1191
01:13:45.850 --> 01:13:46.350
settings.

1192
01:13:46.889 --> 01:13:49.465
And let me see if I recall. I haven't gone in one.

1193
01:13:49.465 --> 01:13:51.805
I think it's under developer tools, image settings.

1194
01:13:53.065 --> 01:13:56.845
And what you do is you tell the system, hey, when someone uploads an image,

1195
01:13:57.705 --> 01:13:59.245
bring it down to these proportions.

1196
01:13:59.305 --> 01:14:04.180
Set it to this maximum width, set it to this maximum height, and that will be the image.

1197
01:14:04.180 --> 01:14:05.400
That will optimize

1198
01:14:05.860 --> 01:14:10.100
the web page loading on the site because you don't wanna load large images on your site.

1199
01:14:10.100 --> 01:14:15.800
That's what takes forever for the page to load. So you set your max max width and max height.

1200
01:14:17.965 --> 01:14:19.105
With that said,

1201
01:14:19.805 --> 01:14:21.265
we do have

1202
01:14:22.045 --> 01:14:23.105
thank you, Jeff

1203
01:14:23.405 --> 01:14:24.305
and Oscar.

1204
01:14:24.685 --> 01:14:27.265
Shout out to them. In your image settings,

1205
01:14:28.125 --> 01:14:28.945
there are

1206
01:14:29.500 --> 01:14:37.679
a profile photo size, which is what renders on the website, and there is a backup photo size for exactly this purpose,

1207
01:14:37.980 --> 01:14:39.360
social media sharing.

1208
01:14:40.780 --> 01:14:43.599
Mhmm. Let's let's adjust this.

1209
01:14:44.895 --> 01:14:48.195
And first of all, I think Instagram is a square.

1210
01:14:48.975 --> 01:14:49.475
Correct?

1211
01:14:49.855 --> 01:14:50.915
Me if I'm wrong.

1212
01:14:51.295 --> 01:14:52.415
There are these I don't know if it's a

1213
01:14:53.295 --> 01:14:56.835
yes. It looks like it's a no. It's not an exact square.

1214
01:14:57.710 --> 01:15:01.409
Let's do this. Let me just make it, like, a thousand. Okay?

1215
01:15:01.870 --> 01:15:02.190
And

1216
01:15:03.070 --> 01:15:03.570
Mhmm.

1217
01:15:03.949 --> 01:15:06.370
What is this saying here? It's giving me a warning.

1218
01:15:08.030 --> 01:15:12.675
The size you chose is greater than the permitted limit for photo images and logos we said on the Zoom Internet.

1219
01:15:12.675 --> 01:15:17.255
Okay. Maybe we can adjust this. Anyways, let's make it a little bigger here. So four twenty five.

1220
01:15:19.875 --> 01:15:24.935
The width and height must be set to 200 minimum to comply with social media sharing. The recommended

1221
01:15:26.110 --> 01:15:27.890
are with the width. Okay.

1222
01:15:28.670 --> 01:15:32.690
Let's see if we can go. Why isn't this I guess there's a limit for how large you can go.

1223
01:15:32.750 --> 01:15:36.030
Let's set set it to the highest one. We'll we'll get to that later.

1224
01:15:36.030 --> 01:15:38.130
So that'll give you an image about this size.

1225
01:15:38.910 --> 01:15:39.890
Okay? Mhmm.

1226
01:15:41.385 --> 01:15:42.605
Let's save the changes.

1227
01:15:44.745 --> 01:15:46.685
And what I wanna do is actually

1228
01:15:48.665 --> 01:15:53.625
get that show you how you can get that image, the social media share image. So let me,

1229
01:15:55.500 --> 01:15:56.880
let me make a quick account,

1230
01:15:59.100 --> 01:16:00.640
and I'll upload an image.

1231
01:16:01.820 --> 01:16:07.360
So I'm just gonna add myself as a member. We can delete this after. We'll do jason@jason.com.

1232
01:16:07.955 --> 01:16:10.515
So we were the first question we had,

1233
01:16:10.915 --> 01:16:12.135
was adding members,

1234
01:16:12.435 --> 01:16:13.975
the the the veterinarians.

1235
01:16:14.275 --> 01:16:19.575
This is how you can manually add a member to your site, by the way, guys, from the admin.

1236
01:16:19.635 --> 01:16:20.615
I'll just create

1237
01:16:22.260 --> 01:16:23.719
a platinum membership,

1238
01:16:25.860 --> 01:16:27.159
and I'll log in.

1239
01:16:28.420 --> 01:16:30.360
I'll just add some basic info,

1240
01:16:32.019 --> 01:16:34.119
Jason, type of artist, music,

1241
01:16:35.219 --> 01:16:38.039
and I think I'll just save the changes there.

1242
01:16:38.715 --> 01:16:40.415
And now we'll upload an image.

1243
01:16:43.355 --> 01:16:47.295
I I see you're using the cover photo. Is that from the customization experts?

1244
01:16:48.475 --> 01:16:51.775
Yes. Awesome. They make some amazing, amazing,

1245
01:16:52.670 --> 01:16:53.730
add ons and plugins.

1246
01:16:54.349 --> 01:16:57.230
So let me upload a profile photo from my computer.

1247
01:16:57.230 --> 01:17:00.449
I think I have, the new thing we shared on Facebook here.

1248
01:17:00.750 --> 01:17:03.409
So this is a a relatively large image.

1249
01:17:04.909 --> 01:17:06.610
Okay. And I'll just

1250
01:17:07.415 --> 01:17:10.715
pull it to the max here, and then we'll save it.

1251
01:17:11.095 --> 01:17:12.315
What I wanna see

1252
01:17:12.935 --> 01:17:16.775
is what the social media share size is and how I can get the how you can get that.

1253
01:17:16.775 --> 01:17:18.235
So now I'm going to,

1254
01:17:19.110 --> 01:17:20.730
oops, say that again.

1255
01:17:23.110 --> 01:17:24.410
Alright. There we go.

1256
01:17:26.390 --> 01:17:28.810
Okay. So let's go view my profile now.

1257
01:17:29.590 --> 01:17:33.690
Hey. Look how quick and easy is it to make a profile. So this is the small image.

1258
01:17:33.925 --> 01:17:35.385
So let's view this image.

1259
01:17:36.565 --> 01:17:42.325
This is one 62 x 2 sixteen, and it's scaled to fit the allotted space here on the design of the page.

1260
01:17:42.325 --> 01:17:45.625
Let me look at the source code. This is what we looked at earlier also.

1261
01:17:46.245 --> 01:17:47.625
Social media metadata.

1262
01:17:48.240 --> 01:17:50.660
Okay. So there is an image here.

1263
01:17:51.200 --> 01:17:52.500
I'm gonna take this URL.

1264
01:17:53.360 --> 01:17:57.200
This is what's being shared on social media. You don't see it on the live site.

1265
01:17:57.200 --> 01:18:01.620
It's just embedded into the the code of the site. Let's go to this image.

1266
01:18:02.160 --> 01:18:03.780
Oops. Copy it.

1267
01:18:04.775 --> 01:18:05.595
Paste it.

1268
01:18:08.055 --> 01:18:14.155
Alright. So this is the image. So this is a much larger image here, right, compared to

1269
01:18:14.855 --> 01:18:15.835
to this one.

1270
01:18:16.710 --> 01:18:18.650
Let me copy image location.

1271
01:18:19.670 --> 01:18:20.970
So this is the image

1272
01:18:22.150 --> 01:18:22.970
that is

1273
01:18:23.670 --> 01:18:24.489
on the website,

1274
01:18:25.190 --> 01:18:27.290
and this is and this one

1275
01:18:27.830 --> 01:18:29.690
is the one that we set the parameters

1276
01:18:30.475 --> 01:18:32.315
for sharing on on social media.

1277
01:18:32.315 --> 01:18:36.755
I I do think this would be okay for Instagram, to be honest, an image of this size. Yeah.

1278
01:18:36.755 --> 01:18:38.975
I think it's probably gonna be better than

1279
01:18:39.435 --> 01:18:39.935
downloading.

1280
01:18:40.315 --> 01:18:40.815
Okay.

1281
01:18:41.355 --> 01:18:43.590
And I have some good news for you.

1282
01:18:44.630 --> 01:18:46.489
The only difference is in the URL,

1283
01:18:47.190 --> 01:18:52.810
this says profile here, and everything else is the same. Over here, it says social media underscore.

1284
01:18:53.909 --> 01:18:55.130
So you can extract

1285
01:18:55.510 --> 01:18:58.250
this social media image. You can use this image.

1286
01:18:58.945 --> 01:19:01.745
You know, you could then save this. I don't know how you're posting to Instagram.

1287
01:19:01.745 --> 01:19:04.485
You're saving to your computer or or what?

1288
01:19:05.025 --> 01:19:12.065
Yeah. Into my computer, and then I forward an email to my iPad and then download it. And I Right.

1289
01:19:12.065 --> 01:19:13.205
Because from Instagram,

1290
01:19:13.660 --> 01:19:18.560
you have to post it from your yourself your your mobile device. That's the nature of Instagram. And

1291
01:19:19.420 --> 01:19:23.420
to add to that, Jason, just so you know, profile photo and the logo, there are limits.

1292
01:19:23.420 --> 01:19:25.680
All those get stored. All that takes bandwidth.

1293
01:19:26.375 --> 01:19:30.555
But the, multi photo, which is basically photo albums like properties,

1294
01:19:31.495 --> 01:19:34.715
and product, or the single photo post, which are

1295
01:19:35.094 --> 01:19:36.635
are are like, coupons

1296
01:19:37.094 --> 01:19:37.995
and so forth,

1297
01:19:38.430 --> 01:19:43.650
Those have much, much higher limits where you do get in the thousands. I think the default is $7.60.

1298
01:19:44.350 --> 01:19:45.390
95%

1299
01:19:45.390 --> 01:19:50.690
of cases, people share a recipe or they share a deal. They share a property.

1300
01:19:51.135 --> 01:19:54.195
Very rarely do they saw share profile listings themselves.

1301
01:19:55.135 --> 01:19:59.555
But but I I understand, of course, Blair, in your case. It may be different,

1302
01:20:00.175 --> 01:20:01.935
but you are able in those files.

1303
01:20:02.175 --> 01:20:07.829
I know that you saw that there it reached a limit there, Jason, but you can go into the same place you were in the admin,

1304
01:20:08.130 --> 01:20:11.250
scroll below, and you can change those settings, right there.

1305
01:20:11.250 --> 01:20:14.050
Single post limit, multi photo post limit.

1306
01:20:14.050 --> 01:20:17.429
You can make it $10.80 just like Pinterest wants, which is fantastic.

1307
01:20:18.235 --> 01:20:23.695
Right. Gotcha. Gotcha. So, I'm gonna share this link in the chat with you

1308
01:20:24.155 --> 01:20:25.615
just so you can

1309
01:20:26.555 --> 01:20:27.435
access it,

1310
01:20:27.755 --> 01:20:31.375
at a later time, Blair. I'm gonna I'll just put it in the chat here.

1311
01:20:33.020 --> 01:20:34.560
I'm gonna put this social

1312
01:20:36.380 --> 01:20:36.880
media

1313
01:20:37.340 --> 01:20:37.840
image.

1314
01:20:38.420 --> 01:20:43.660
So the again, it it is a workaround. You get a highly, a little bit larger size image this way.

1315
01:20:43.900 --> 01:20:48.554
I think it would be fine for for Instagram based on what how you said you're you're using it.

1316
01:20:49.895 --> 01:20:55.014
Perfect. Alright. And, Blair, I one more one more thing, and I didn't wanna bring it up, but,

1317
01:20:55.574 --> 01:20:59.094
there's I'm sure there's a lot of people. We we have it on our radar.

1318
01:20:59.094 --> 01:21:01.994
I know we've been saying it for a while to get the coupon codes,

1319
01:21:02.880 --> 01:21:03.840
