WEBVTT

1
00:00:01.520 --> 00:00:06.580
Alright, guys. Let's get started. We'll jump right into it. Welcome to webinar Wednesday.

2
00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:11.040
I am one of your hosts here. I'm Jason here on the left.

3
00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:15.595
And we're also joined with Gabriel, one of the support support specialists at Brilliant Directories.

4
00:00:15.595 --> 00:00:17.055
Gabe, thanks for joining us.

5
00:00:17.515 --> 00:00:19.295
Hey there, guys. Happy to be back.

6
00:00:19.355 --> 00:00:22.494
And, we're always lucky to have Patrick with us from the Customization

7
00:00:22.955 --> 00:00:23.455
Experts.

8
00:00:23.755 --> 00:00:27.375
The Customization Experts build specialized tools and extensions,

9
00:00:27.994 --> 00:00:29.615
for the Brilliant Directories platform.

10
00:00:30.150 --> 00:00:33.510
Between Patrick and his team, I don't think there is anyone more well versed,

11
00:00:33.989 --> 00:00:38.650
as developers on the Brilliant Directories platform. So thank you, Pat, for joining us today.

12
00:00:39.270 --> 00:00:43.530
Well, Pat is probably on mute. Let's unmute your mic there, Pat. Welcome, Pat.

13
00:00:44.675 --> 00:00:47.335
Thank you, Jason. It's always a pleasure to be here.

14
00:00:48.355 --> 00:00:48.855
Awesome.

00:00:50.435 --> 00:00:56.115

team members will respond to your inquiries there, but also fellow directory owners.

21
00:01:17.265 --> 00:01:19.125
It's a great place to talk about,

22
00:01:19.585 --> 00:01:23.424
marketing ideas and strategies to grow your online community.

23
00:01:23.424 --> 00:01:27.100
So you can go to brilliantdirectories.com/linkedin,

24
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:29.020
and I hope to see you guys there.

25
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:35.800
And if this is your first time joining webinar Wednesday, first and foremost, welcome.

26
00:01:35.800 --> 00:01:37.740
It's great to be with you guys here today.

27
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:42.015
The goal of webinar Wednesday is essentially to help you, the best that we can.

28
00:01:42.015 --> 00:01:49.555
We understand that working on a platform, if you're new to Brilliant Directories, there's always a small learning curve and a lot of moving pieces.

29
00:01:50.495 --> 00:01:53.955
So you can ask any question about your directory website from

30
00:01:54.255 --> 00:01:59.480
how to set things up, designing your site, monetizing your site, how to enhance your SEO.

31
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:02.780
I believe last week we had a lot of questions about search engine optimization,

32
00:02:03.800 --> 00:02:06.700
how to encourage more members to sign up to your site.

33
00:02:07.080 --> 00:02:08.280
Anything is fair game.

34
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:13.364
If for some reason we're unable to answer your question, hopefully, we'll be able to recommend a resource,

35
00:02:13.825 --> 00:02:16.165
that could provide you with a better answer.

36
00:02:16.465 --> 00:02:21.045
We also learn a ton from you guys on these webinars, features that are important to you,

37
00:02:21.504 --> 00:02:23.364
finding things that we can make better.

38
00:02:23.930 --> 00:02:25.930
So this is a two way street. We're great.

39
00:02:25.930 --> 00:02:30.510
We're so happy to be with you, and, you know, these webinars are are super super awesome.

40
00:02:31.610 --> 00:02:35.210
Alright. We haven't done this in a while. We do have a contest of the week.

41
00:02:35.210 --> 00:02:39.855
We also have a special goodie for you guys who are joining in on this webinar today.

42
00:02:40.155 --> 00:02:44.254
The contest of the week is super simple, and everybody's a winner who participates.

43
00:02:44.954 --> 00:02:49.275
All you have to do is leave a comment on our YouTube video.

44
00:02:49.275 --> 00:02:55.930
I'll show you guys how to do that in just a minute. You can go to brilliantdirectories.com/shoutout.

45
00:02:56.310 --> 00:03:01.270
Gabe will be kind enough to share a link, a direct link to that in the chat window.

46
00:03:01.270 --> 00:03:03.930
You have a chat window there in your GoToWebinar

47
00:03:04.230 --> 00:03:08.724
panel. So if you go to brilliantdirectories.com/shoutout,

48
00:03:08.864 --> 00:03:11.284
it will direct you to a YouTube video,

49
00:03:11.745 --> 00:03:13.765
that Pat and I made a few weeks ago

50
00:03:14.224 --> 00:03:17.130
about, eight multimillion dollar directory sites.

51
00:03:17.450 --> 00:03:22.190
And what this video covers, I think it's an interesting watch also if you have about thirty minutes.

52
00:03:22.810 --> 00:03:29.950
It talks about how some multi million dollar sites are actually directory sites when you break them down and look at their essential

53
00:03:30.385 --> 00:03:30.885
components.

54
00:03:31.985 --> 00:03:37.365
So what you can do is you can scroll down when you're on this page, and leave a comment on this video.

55
00:03:37.425 --> 00:03:46.360
Maybe you want to share with us what theme you're using on your Brilliant Directories website, or maybe you're using our standard theme that you've kind of made your own.

56
00:03:46.820 --> 00:03:52.500
Just let us know what features and tools you like about Brilliant Directories, and how you're using it for your site.

57
00:03:52.500 --> 00:03:54.360
We'll greatly appreciate that.

58
00:03:54.740 --> 00:04:03.285
After you leave your comment, we'll automatically add $50 of credit to your Brilliant Directories account that you can use for add ons, additional websites,

59
00:04:03.745 --> 00:04:05.605
training sessions, and more.

60
00:04:06.785 --> 00:04:09.445
So you can go to brilliantdirectories.com

61
00:04:09.585 --> 00:04:10.705
forward slash shout out.

62
00:04:10.705 --> 00:04:16.380
You can do that now or after the webinar, and we would greatly appreciate your comments on that video.

63
00:04:16.520 --> 00:04:17.660
Thank you so much.

64
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:19.560
Alright.

65
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:27.100
And in the previous webinars this year, we talked about a new add on that we have, which is the lead price by category.

66
00:04:27.914 --> 00:04:30.895
And basically what it allows you to do is,

67
00:04:31.275 --> 00:04:39.354
if you're selling leads on your website, up until this add on, you could only set the price of a lead based on somebody's membership level.

68
00:04:39.354 --> 00:04:41.215
So premium members would pay

69
00:04:41.620 --> 00:04:43.000
$20 for a lead.

70
00:04:43.699 --> 00:04:46.520
You know, basic members would pay $25.

71
00:04:46.819 --> 00:04:48.280
With this add on,

72
00:04:48.819 --> 00:04:54.599
you can set the price of that a member pays for a lead based on the category.

73
00:04:54.740 --> 00:04:58.175
So leads for lawyers can be more expensive than

74
00:04:58.475 --> 00:05:02.415
leads for dog walkers as an example, or whatever your category structure

75
00:05:02.875 --> 00:05:03.695
might be.

76
00:05:03.914 --> 00:05:11.460
The reason we want to give this out as a free gift just for this people on this webinar, The offer will expire on February 23.

77
00:05:11.520 --> 00:05:24.395
The reason we want to do this is, since we've launched this add on people have been writing in, letting us know that they're generating more revenue from their sites, and their members are actually happier because the price of leads now directly correlates

78
00:05:24.695 --> 00:05:28.155
to the category of the lead, which makes perfect sense.

79
00:05:29.255 --> 00:05:34.294
We do have a page, so you can learn more about this on the Brilliant Directory site.

80
00:05:34.294 --> 00:05:38.475
You can go to our add ons library, and you'll find lead price by category.

81
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:41.380
Normally, it is $20 per month.

82
00:05:41.840 --> 00:05:45.380
If you're part of the VIP add ons club, you need not worry.

83
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:48.420
You already have this enabled on your site.

84
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:53.360
If you don't have it enabled on your site, you can email addons@brilliantdirectories.com.

85
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:58.445
They'll make sure that it is enabled on your site if you're a member of the VIP add ons club.

86
00:05:58.745 --> 00:06:00.605
And if you look at this picture here,

87
00:06:00.985 --> 00:06:08.605
essentially what it does is is it adds an extra field when you're editing your categories to enter the price for that lead.

88
00:06:09.150 --> 00:06:11.170
Is there anything you wanna add about that, Pat?

89
00:06:12.750 --> 00:06:15.230
No. That about covers it. And and, yeah, I agree.

90
00:06:15.230 --> 00:06:19.330
It's about one of the more useful add ons like we discussed in the last webinar.

91
00:06:19.390 --> 00:06:25.065
What I like most is not necessarily how much you can charge, but the fact that you can give away some leads for free,

92
00:06:25.685 --> 00:06:32.025
specifically to industries that wouldn't understand having to pay for a lead, like perhaps a a hair salon or a bakery.

93
00:06:32.325 --> 00:06:36.425
Somebody's just trying to contact them, to to put in a small order or book an appointment.

94
00:06:36.485 --> 00:06:39.039
So so it's really a fantastic add on.

95
00:06:40.220 --> 00:06:42.160
That's right. Yeah. So, yeah, that's a huge,

96
00:06:42.620 --> 00:06:45.340
thing with this is you can set the price to $0.

97
00:06:45.340 --> 00:06:54.305
And for certain categories, it does make sense to just charge nothing and let the message that the visitor is trying to send to the business get there for free.

98
00:06:55.485 --> 00:06:58.205
So you can email events@brilliantdirectories.com.

99
00:06:58.205 --> 00:07:04.125
Just include a link to your website in that email so we know which website to add that add on for.

100
00:07:04.125 --> 00:07:07.360
We'll make a note that you have this add on for life for free.

101
00:07:07.980 --> 00:07:11.520
And you need to do that before February 23.

102
00:07:12.060 --> 00:07:16.220
And again, if you're part of the VIP add ons club, you don't need to worry about it.

103
00:07:16.220 --> 00:07:20.895
You get all the add ons that we we keep launching added to your website for free.

104
00:07:23.215 --> 00:07:27.875
Alright. We're gonna talk about a little short topic today on how to feature

105
00:07:28.574 --> 00:07:29.074
members

106
00:07:29.375 --> 00:07:32.034
on your home page. If you didn't know,

107
00:07:32.940 --> 00:07:36.560
I believe this is a standard feature with Brilliant Directories. You can

108
00:07:36.860 --> 00:07:40.080
handpick specific members to showcase and display,

109
00:07:40.860 --> 00:07:42.000
on your home page.

110
00:07:42.540 --> 00:07:45.200
And there are a lot of benefits for this,

111
00:07:45.755 --> 00:07:47.375
being able to handpick members.

112
00:07:47.435 --> 00:07:52.335
Before I get into the benefits, let let me just show you what's happening, on our demo site.

113
00:07:53.115 --> 00:07:56.815
This is a demo bootstrap, and this is our demo site.

114
00:07:57.035 --> 00:08:01.479
There is a there is a way to stream your most recent members on the homepage.

115
00:08:01.479 --> 00:08:03.180
I think most of you are more

116
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:06.060
familiar with this, where it will simply show,

117
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:08.539
your most recent members

118
00:08:09.080 --> 00:08:10.300
on the homepage.

119
00:08:11.095 --> 00:08:14.794
But if you didn't want to use this widget and you wanted to hand picked members

120
00:08:15.415 --> 00:08:16.235
for your homepage,

121
00:08:16.695 --> 00:08:19.675
you can definitely do that and I'll show you in just a moment.

122
00:08:20.535 --> 00:08:25.280
Now Pat and I were chatting before the webinar to come up with some of the benefits of of featuring members.

123
00:08:25.280 --> 00:08:29.120
And Pat, do you wanna kinda go over this list and and how we came up with these top five,

124
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:32.020
benefits for featuring members on the homepage?

125
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:33.460
Absolutely.

126
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:40.725
So the first and foremost, of course, is that this is a great way to be able to generate a little bit more revenue for yourselves.

127
00:08:41.585 --> 00:08:50.165
Obviously, having a listing on the home page is really the top exposure you could, want to have on any website.

128
00:08:50.580 --> 00:08:55.720
So there's some prime real estate that you'd be able to have a a special membership level

129
00:08:56.500 --> 00:08:57.000
specifically

130
00:08:57.380 --> 00:08:58.500
for these,

131
00:08:58.980 --> 00:09:01.720
high end customers that could be listed on your website.

132
00:09:02.574 --> 00:09:06.255
Another thing that I like using it for is to feature your top members.

133
00:09:06.255 --> 00:09:10.514
So if you're starting out, maybe it's gonna be a little bit difficult to charge

134
00:09:11.055 --> 00:09:15.235
your members for that. But what you can do is you can still leverage this tool

135
00:09:15.750 --> 00:09:23.610
and feature what would be your top members whether or not and this ties in a bit to point five as well, whether or not they actually signed up on your website.

136
00:09:23.910 --> 00:09:28.490
So when I start a new directory, I usually try to find a couple of brands that people can recognize,

137
00:09:28.944 --> 00:09:36.805
and I will add them as a featured member on my home page so that people can see, wow, this particular company or this particular professional

138
00:09:37.264 --> 00:09:40.464
is advertising on this website and it's a featured listing.

139
00:09:40.464 --> 00:09:43.925
So that might help get more people signed up on my website.

140
00:09:45.209 --> 00:09:48.269
Another good use is in a sales presentation.

141
00:09:49.290 --> 00:09:50.510
When you're showing,

142
00:09:50.970 --> 00:09:53.949
the highlights and the features of your particular website,

143
00:09:54.329 --> 00:09:57.070
it's nice to have a couple showcase profiles.

144
00:09:57.845 --> 00:10:00.565
Similar to demobootstrap.com,

145
00:10:00.805 --> 00:10:05.225
they wanna make sure they can show off all of the features that are available to your members.

146
00:10:05.685 --> 00:10:07.845
So you can use one of these profiles.

147
00:10:07.845 --> 00:10:12.745
Maybe it could be a a friend that you know or a business that you have connections with and really

148
00:10:13.920 --> 00:10:15.280
add a ton of content.

149
00:10:15.280 --> 00:10:28.125
So whatever features you have available, videos, coupons, properties, whatever you've opened up to the public, you're gonna wanna make sure that they have a couple posts in each so that the business owners can understand what they can do.

150
00:10:28.445 --> 00:10:34.305
Usually, spending time on a profile that's complete is the easiest way for them to digest

151
00:10:34.845 --> 00:10:37.645
what it is they're gonna be able to post on their website.

152
00:10:37.645 --> 00:10:41.880
It's hard to talk about it and explain it from the paint a picture in their heads.

153
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:45.500
But if you can take them to a a showcase profile like this,

154
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:49.900
then they'll be able to the sales presentation should go much more smoothly.

155
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:56.025
And having that as a showcase listing on your home page will make that presentation go smoothly as well.

156
00:10:56.825 --> 00:11:02.285
And I forgot my most, my my my best one, Jason. Number four, limited supply and a sense of urgency.

157
00:11:02.985 --> 00:11:07.245
So when you're doing a sales pitch, and we've we've covered this in a few other webinars,

158
00:11:08.199 --> 00:11:18.699
if there's an unlimited supply of anything, then there's no sense of urgency, which means it's very easy for the buyer or the business owner to say thank you very much for your time.

159
00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:20.839
I'll think about it and I'll get back to you.

160
00:11:20.839 --> 00:11:23.420
Anybody that's tried to sell, they've definitely encountered

161
00:11:23.885 --> 00:11:24.625
that rebuttal.

162
00:11:25.005 --> 00:11:39.345
But if you're selling a premium spot on the home page and there's already four spots taken up and you can physically show them that there's only one more spot left, and if they sign up today, then they can lock that in for them and you're not gonna sell anymore.

163
00:11:40.100 --> 00:11:44.279
That is gonna create a sense of urgency for you to get a couple of larger,

164
00:11:44.660 --> 00:11:49.880
sales out of the gates. Oftentimes, like like we said, you can charge a premium for these.

165
00:11:49.940 --> 00:11:59.455
So just by selling those five featured spot or eight featured spots or however many you add on your homepage, you can easily finance the salary of a full time, staffer

166
00:11:59.915 --> 00:12:01.135
on on in your company.

167
00:12:02.315 --> 00:12:05.375
Yep. And then and then lastly, you can increase your credibility.

168
00:12:05.435 --> 00:12:08.575
You can show your most prestigious members on the homepage.

169
00:12:08.635 --> 00:12:16.550
So if you're a new site and, you know, you're adding your first hundred members yourself, maybe you're adding some people who are noteworthy in the industry you're serving,

170
00:12:16.930 --> 00:12:25.275
you can feature them right there on the homepage for everyone to see, and that will immediately add value and credibility to to your brand.

171
00:12:25.815 --> 00:12:32.395
So what we're gonna do now is let me show you exactly how you can feature individual specific members on your homepage.

172
00:12:33.495 --> 00:12:37.355
So let me go back to the homepage here on the the demo site.

173
00:12:38.500 --> 00:12:41.540
And here we're just using the we're just streaming,

174
00:12:41.860 --> 00:12:44.680
the the most recent members as they signed up.

175
00:12:45.060 --> 00:12:50.920
So if we go into, the admin area, you wanna head on over to your design settings. This is where

176
00:12:51.255 --> 00:12:54.635
you select the different types of content you want to stream

177
00:12:55.095 --> 00:12:57.755
on your homepage, as well as some other design elements.

178
00:12:58.375 --> 00:13:00.955
In this case, we want to go to the homepage layout.

179
00:13:01.975 --> 00:13:02.475
And,

180
00:13:03.335 --> 00:13:09.490
my favorite part of the design settings is this, the homepage section order, and that's exactly where we wanna go right now.

181
00:13:10.430 --> 00:13:15.810
When we go to the home page section order, we can see the different types of content we're streaming on the home page.

182
00:13:16.270 --> 00:13:19.570
Number two is the recent members. Number three is we're showing categories.

183
00:13:20.505 --> 00:13:23.805
Number four is the, about website and join offer text.

184
00:13:24.265 --> 00:13:27.965
And then we're also showing recent member articles, with sidebar.

185
00:13:28.585 --> 00:13:31.725
Let me turn this one off first, the show recent members.

186
00:13:32.490 --> 00:13:38.830
So it's just gonna the homepage should just jump from homepage hero divider directly to the top category.

187
00:13:38.890 --> 00:13:40.350
So let's just wait

188
00:13:40.730 --> 00:13:42.590
about twenty seconds for this to save.

189
00:13:43.850 --> 00:13:47.550
Actually quicker than that, just a few seconds. Alright. Now let's visit the website.

190
00:13:50.435 --> 00:13:53.895
And we can see now it goes directly to search popular

191
00:13:54.355 --> 00:13:57.175
categories. So we're not showing anything there now.

192
00:13:57.555 --> 00:14:01.255
Now let's replace this with the show featured members.

193
00:14:03.100 --> 00:14:05.600
Okay. And let's save the changes again.

194
00:14:06.060 --> 00:14:07.920
So that's show featured members.

195
00:14:11.339 --> 00:14:13.680
Alright. And let's refresh the homepage again.

196
00:14:17.205 --> 00:14:20.105
And you'll notice we're not seeing anything here.

197
00:14:20.245 --> 00:14:24.905
Pat, do you know why we're not seeing anything here, even though we've selected show featured members?

198
00:14:26.500 --> 00:14:30.279
Because we have not selected any featured members perhaps? Exactly.

199
00:14:30.339 --> 00:14:35.220
So because these are handpicked members, we need to specifically handpick these members.

200
00:14:35.220 --> 00:14:38.920
And let me show you how to handpick the members to be featured on the homepage.

201
00:14:39.165 --> 00:14:42.144
So now that we've set this as one of the sections to

202
00:14:42.605 --> 00:14:43.824
display on the homepage,

203
00:14:44.285 --> 00:14:47.324
we can leave this area, hit save again just in case.

204
00:14:47.324 --> 00:14:53.024
Then what we want to do is go to our search members area, where we can see all the members of our website.

205
00:14:54.890 --> 00:14:55.390
So

206
00:14:55.850 --> 00:15:01.790
what we can do is now that we have the members, you can search for the members that you want to showcase.

207
00:15:01.850 --> 00:15:04.170
So let's start with Elite Golf Academy.

208
00:15:04.170 --> 00:15:06.730
Let's say you have a lot of members you want to search for your members.

209
00:15:06.730 --> 00:15:08.350
So let me just search for elite.

210
00:15:09.765 --> 00:15:10.005
Okay.

211
00:15:10.005 --> 00:15:16.505
So we have a few businesses with the name Elite, and I want to showcase Elite Golf Academy because they just paid me $250

212
00:15:16.645 --> 00:15:19.385
to be showcased on the homepage for thirty days.

213
00:15:20.005 --> 00:15:20.964
Just as an example.

214
00:15:20.964 --> 00:15:28.500
Now this is manual, so at the end of thirty days or whatever time you're setting them there for, you could just set yourself a reminder to rotate people there accordingly.

215
00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:33.459
So let me go back. I think I did that a little quick. So under the actions drop down,

216
00:15:33.760 --> 00:15:35.940
there is an option called quick edit.

217
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:38.100
So you can click on quick edit,

218
00:15:39.415 --> 00:15:43.355
and among other options here that you can do a quick edit on the person,

219
00:15:43.975 --> 00:15:46.795
under listing settings there's three tabs up here.

220
00:15:47.895 --> 00:15:52.620
Under listing settings the first option is homepage featured member order.

221
00:15:52.620 --> 00:15:55.200
So you can choose what order you want to feature members.

222
00:15:55.820 --> 00:16:00.080
So let's put this person as position one, and we'll save the changes.

223
00:16:01.900 --> 00:16:03.360
And I'll close this.

224
00:16:03.740 --> 00:16:08.115
So now this guy should show on the homepage. I'm going to refresh the page now.

225
00:16:12.515 --> 00:16:15.095
And here we go. Here he is on the homepage.

226
00:16:15.475 --> 00:16:21.495
And what's really cool about this is you can actually add a title to kind of make these members more prestigious.

227
00:16:22.060 --> 00:16:24.620
So let me show you how to add a title up here as well.

228
00:16:24.620 --> 00:16:26.720
And then we'll add a couple more members here.

229
00:16:27.260 --> 00:16:27.760
So

230
00:16:28.380 --> 00:16:31.040
here you can choose we're back to the design settings.

231
00:16:31.340 --> 00:16:34.894
You can choose the homepage section order, and if you toggle this

232
00:16:35.435 --> 00:16:40.495
closed, my second favorite tab in the design settings are the home page section order options.

233
00:16:40.795 --> 00:16:41.774
These are settings

234
00:16:42.315 --> 00:16:45.774
for the different section orders, like your recent events, you can choose,

235
00:16:46.315 --> 00:16:48.480
what how what order to display them.

236
00:16:48.959 --> 00:16:56.079
And if you click on this checkbox here, it will only show you the sections that you're actually using on the homepage.

237
00:16:56.079 --> 00:16:58.260
So in this case, featured members.

238
00:16:59.199 --> 00:17:00.899
And you can add a title here.

239
00:17:01.455 --> 00:17:04.994
So you can say something like our most trusted

240
00:17:06.095 --> 00:17:06.595
members.

241
00:17:06.734 --> 00:17:12.515
Something that really makes these members feel, you know, special to to visitors who are coming to the website.

242
00:17:13.669 --> 00:17:17.609
So you can call it spotlight members, recommended, you know, professionals,

243
00:17:17.990 --> 00:17:19.849
whatever makes sense for your industry.

244
00:17:20.630 --> 00:17:21.130
So

245
00:17:21.589 --> 00:17:24.010
now if we refresh the homepage one more time,

246
00:17:24.950 --> 00:17:28.315
we have a title here that says our most trusted members.

247
00:17:28.775 --> 00:17:32.795
Now let's add a couple more people here in positions two and three.

248
00:17:34.215 --> 00:17:36.155
So let's just go back to search members,

249
00:17:37.095 --> 00:17:39.835
and I'll just randomly choose some of these people here.

250
00:17:40.215 --> 00:17:42.635
We can choose the Pro Tennis Academy.

251
00:17:44.020 --> 00:17:48.360
So I'm gonna do the quick edit listing settings, and I'll put her in position two.

252
00:17:50.420 --> 00:17:55.800
I'll save that and we'll scroll down. And everyone likes candy, so we'll do Sugarman candy.

253
00:17:56.180 --> 00:17:57.480
Quick edit his

254
00:17:58.065 --> 00:18:01.684
profile, go to listing settings, and position three.

255
00:18:02.705 --> 00:18:07.684
And I'll save those changes. And I'll close this tab, and we'll refresh the homepage.

256
00:18:09.825 --> 00:18:11.764
And I'll scroll down a little bit.

257
00:18:12.065 --> 00:18:13.365
And you can see now

258
00:18:13.860 --> 00:18:18.520
these are our most trusted members. So you can definitely charge a premium,

259
00:18:19.780 --> 00:18:22.820
for these spots. It can be more than three. It could be six.

260
00:18:22.820 --> 00:18:25.240
Whatever makes your homepage look nicer.

261
00:18:25.620 --> 00:18:27.220
And Pat's absolutely correct.

262
00:18:27.220 --> 00:18:31.695
If you have two people here and there's a third spot, you can say that there's a sense of urgency.

263
00:18:31.695 --> 00:18:35.075
There's only one spot left if you wanna lock in for March.

264
00:18:35.695 --> 00:18:37.795
I'm gonna need your payment as soon as possible.

265
00:18:38.175 --> 00:18:42.275
So you can get you can motivate people to lock in these very limited,

266
00:18:43.535 --> 00:18:44.915
limited space spots.

267
00:18:45.800 --> 00:18:46.760
I've also seen,

268
00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:48.059
business owners

269
00:18:48.600 --> 00:18:50.380
use this as top contributors

270
00:18:51.080 --> 00:18:59.260
and they've sent out newsletters to their active member base and they say whoever posts the most articles this week will be highlighted as a top contributor

271
00:18:59.625 --> 00:19:02.285
for the whole month of March. So it's a content

272
00:19:02.825 --> 00:19:04.845
contest a content contest.

273
00:19:05.225 --> 00:19:07.725
Well, it's hard to say. It's a content contest

274
00:19:08.185 --> 00:19:09.085
for their members,

275
00:19:09.465 --> 00:19:13.669
and the reward is being featured on the home page page as a top contributor.

276
00:19:14.049 --> 00:19:18.390
And that takes care of the point we said earlier, you have great demo profiles.

277
00:19:18.770 --> 00:19:22.549
Now remember, the demo profiles are used on a sales pitch, but also

278
00:19:23.010 --> 00:19:26.925
your website visitors that are coming to the home page, they're gonna be checking stuff out.

279
00:19:27.005 --> 00:19:32.945
So you wanna make sure if they click on a profile on the home page that they're seeing the true benefits in an active listing

280
00:19:33.325 --> 00:19:35.425
when they're when they're seeing a member profile.

281
00:19:36.685 --> 00:19:37.245
That's right.

282
00:19:37.245 --> 00:19:42.785
So after you're done golfing and after you're done playing tennis, you're definitely gonna wanna visit Sugarman candy shop.

283
00:19:42.980 --> 00:19:44.360
Sugarman Candy Shop here.

284
00:19:44.820 --> 00:19:45.960
So we've picked actually

285
00:19:46.660 --> 00:19:49.480
three good people to showcase. But I love that, Pat.

286
00:19:49.860 --> 00:19:52.020
Make it an incentive. You don't have to charge.

287
00:19:52.020 --> 00:20:00.534
Just you can make an incentive for your members who are contributing the most articles or, you know, the most content to your site, whether it's photo albums,

288
00:20:00.995 --> 00:20:05.475
you can reward them by featuring them on on the home page. That's that's great.

289
00:20:05.475 --> 00:20:09.335
These these are great conversate because, again, it's all about building relationships.

290
00:20:09.475 --> 00:20:14.130
So once you've selected your top contributors, you can make it nine, whatever you like.

291
00:20:14.130 --> 00:20:15.910
It's a great phone call to make.

292
00:20:15.970 --> 00:20:20.310
Oftentimes, sales don't come from starting off the call trying to sell them something.

293
00:20:20.370 --> 00:20:26.455
It's just a conversation you're having with the person on the other end and having something positive to say, like, thank you very much.

294
00:20:26.455 --> 00:20:30.375
We see you added some content on your profile. We really appreciate it.

295
00:20:30.375 --> 00:20:35.195
Wanna let you know that we're gonna be featuring your listing on our home page for the entire month of March.

296
00:20:35.495 --> 00:20:42.370
It it's a great way to start get to know that person on the other end of the phone, build a relationship, and oftentimes those

297
00:20:42.750 --> 00:20:48.370
can can can lead to somewhere that allows you to make a sale in some way, whether it's advertising,

298
00:20:48.910 --> 00:20:53.650
a premium listing, auxiliary services, or or whatever other opportunities that present themselves.

299
00:20:54.745 --> 00:20:55.725
Absolutely. So,

300
00:20:56.025 --> 00:20:58.525
this is a feature that's available to all of you.

301
00:20:58.585 --> 00:21:09.085
So you can find out members today that you want to feature on your homepage, reach out to them, let them know that you're, you know, thanking them for being part of your site, and that should help you with some of your marketing efforts.

302
00:21:10.970 --> 00:21:12.509
Alright. Good stuff there.

303
00:21:13.769 --> 00:21:17.549
And now it's the most fun time of webinar Wednesday.

304
00:21:18.330 --> 00:21:20.429
Your questions and our answers.

305
00:21:20.730 --> 00:21:22.570
Alright. This comes up quite a bit.

306
00:21:22.570 --> 00:21:26.415
I've been working on behind the scenes here to try to prep for this, but I think I'm ready.

307
00:21:26.415 --> 00:21:27.715
So if you want, you can pass

308
00:21:28.095 --> 00:21:32.755
the controls over to me, and we get this quite a bit, this question. You got it, Pat.

309
00:21:33.215 --> 00:21:33.715
Right.

310
00:21:34.335 --> 00:21:40.270
So one of the questions we get often is how and somebody just asked the questions asking us for customization

311
00:21:40.650 --> 00:21:41.870
in order to control

312
00:21:42.730 --> 00:21:47.310
what posts go live on a website. There's lots of industries where this could come up.

313
00:21:48.090 --> 00:21:51.550
And there is a workaround that doesn't involve any customizations,

314
00:21:52.505 --> 00:21:55.645
that is useful. It's a little bit of manual work, of course,

315
00:21:55.945 --> 00:21:58.585
but it is exactly what you'd want it to be.

316
00:21:58.745 --> 00:22:03.885
So you're you're gonna make sure that no events and no classifieds or no blog articles

317
00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:06.679
I get posted by members with,

318
00:22:07.320 --> 00:22:09.419
inaccurate content or per perhaps

319
00:22:09.799 --> 00:22:12.600
content that just doesn't go in line with the brand of your website.

320
00:22:12.600 --> 00:22:15.179
I'm gonna show you how you can do that.

321
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:20.804
So, basically, what you what you'd you need to do, and if we log in actually

322
00:22:21.345 --> 00:22:25.765
as a member, and we're gonna go ahead and do that, you're gonna see that most of the posts

323
00:22:26.225 --> 00:22:28.804
have an option to publish or not to publish.

324
00:22:29.745 --> 00:22:32.164
Of course, it needs to be set to yes

325
00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:35.040
for it to be live on the front end of the website.

326
00:22:35.040 --> 00:22:38.740
If it's set to no, then it's basically a draft mode.

327
00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:43.140
So what we need to do here is we need to remove the ability of a member

328
00:22:43.520 --> 00:22:45.060
to publish the article,

329
00:22:45.855 --> 00:22:49.795
And we can easily do that by going into the forms manager.

330
00:22:51.775 --> 00:22:55.054
And I may have gone one step too far there. My apologies.

331
00:22:55.054 --> 00:22:57.315
We're gonna go I'm gonna do it for the events

332
00:22:58.060 --> 00:22:58.640
the events,

333
00:22:59.100 --> 00:22:59.600
feature.

334
00:22:59.900 --> 00:23:03.420
I need to find out first in the events feature what is the form.

335
00:23:03.420 --> 00:23:09.675
And if I go into the edit post settings, I can identify that the form that's being used is the events form.

336
00:23:09.835 --> 00:23:15.215
Makes sense. Most times, Brilliant Directories have the the feature name matching the form name.

337
00:23:15.675 --> 00:23:19.135
So now if we go into the forms manager,

338
00:23:19.435 --> 00:23:22.495
I just need to find the events form. I'm gonna click edit.

339
00:23:24.950 --> 00:23:31.050
And you're gonna see here where it says publish post status, it used to have a yes or no fields.

340
00:23:31.110 --> 00:23:33.910
What I've done is I've gone ahead and changed it to a hidden field.

341
00:23:33.910 --> 00:23:36.330
So I wanna hide this from the member.

342
00:23:36.934 --> 00:23:40.475
But what I've done is I've changed the publish to a zero.

343
00:23:40.775 --> 00:23:41.515
The zero

344
00:23:42.215 --> 00:23:46.375
is what is submitting. That means a no for the database. A one is a yes.

345
00:23:46.375 --> 00:23:48.315
So when your member selects a one,

346
00:23:49.380 --> 00:23:51.380
a yes, it's actually put inputted as a one.

347
00:23:51.380 --> 00:23:58.580
So by putting this as zero, it means that I'm making sure that the member, when they're submitting the post, they're saying publish no.

348
00:23:58.580 --> 00:23:59.860
So so, Pat, just to

349
00:24:00.420 --> 00:24:04.335
I think on that one, you wanna make sure you're doing the default value is zero.

350
00:24:04.815 --> 00:24:06.115
That's what's gonna save

351
00:24:06.575 --> 00:24:10.755
zero as as the status of the the published post. So it's gonna be

352
00:24:11.215 --> 00:24:12.355
draft mode, basically.

353
00:24:14.174 --> 00:24:16.355
Yeah. And I I believe in hidden fields,

354
00:24:16.710 --> 00:24:20.890
it is the field label that gets put at zero only when it's a hidden field,

355
00:24:21.590 --> 00:24:22.730
in this one instance.

356
00:24:23.510 --> 00:24:27.190
But it could but if it's if it's I put them as both. As you can tell, we're on the webinar.

357
00:24:27.190 --> 00:24:33.405
I wanted to be a % sure. But I do I'm 99% sure it's the field label when it's a hidden hidden field

358
00:24:33.865 --> 00:24:34.585
field type.

359
00:24:34.585 --> 00:24:39.805
But if I am incorrect and you're building on your website, it it may be the default field value as zero.

360
00:24:40.185 --> 00:24:40.665
Gotcha.

361
00:24:40.665 --> 00:24:45.340
So what that does when someone's adding an event so as you can see, it's published yes or no.

362
00:24:45.340 --> 00:24:46.799
If we go look at the events

363
00:24:48.540 --> 00:24:50.400
and we go to add an event,

364
00:24:50.860 --> 00:24:54.240
you're gonna see that I don't have the option to publish yes or no.

365
00:24:54.620 --> 00:24:57.740
But we're gonna go ahead so we're gonna go ahead and do one really quick real quickly.

366
00:24:57.740 --> 00:24:59.200
So this is a real event.

367
00:25:05.255 --> 00:25:16.770
So you're gonna publish an event right now as if a member is publishing an event, but it's not gonna go live on the website because it's not set to published, and the website owner can now moderate that content

368
00:25:17.150 --> 00:25:18.690
and choose which posts

369
00:25:19.310 --> 00:25:23.010
are live on the website and which ones stay in draft mode.

370
00:25:23.390 --> 00:25:27.330
This is exactly what we're gonna be doing. So let's go ahead and add this event.

371
00:25:28.465 --> 00:25:32.945
Of course, as a member, I'm able to view a preview of the event. That doesn't mean it's live.

372
00:25:32.945 --> 00:25:34.804
If we go look at the design events,

373
00:25:35.345 --> 00:25:36.885
we're not gonna see it there.

374
00:25:37.264 --> 00:25:39.284
And the re what you do as the administrator

375
00:25:39.585 --> 00:25:40.085
now

376
00:25:40.460 --> 00:25:46.880
is you're able to go into manage posts, and manage posts is where a website owner can manage all of the member content

377
00:25:47.260 --> 00:25:49.200
in one easy to locate area.

378
00:25:49.580 --> 00:25:51.360
We'll go look at the events themselves,

379
00:25:51.980 --> 00:25:53.680
and we'll see that they are unpublished.

380
00:25:53.820 --> 00:25:57.415
The one I did just now and this new one that we did together on the webinar.

381
00:25:57.795 --> 00:26:02.215
So if you, the administrator, wanna publish the events, you can check the box

382
00:26:02.675 --> 00:26:06.855
and you can scroll down and it gives you the option to publish that content.

383
00:26:06.995 --> 00:26:11.740
So this is something that only the administrator of the website will be able to publish that.

384
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:15.179
So everything worked as planned. I would imagine that the event

385
00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:19.659
is now showing in the search results, which is exactly what we wanted to have happen.

386
00:26:20.075 --> 00:26:24.255
So the website administrator is able to control the quality of the content on their website.

387
00:26:24.795 --> 00:26:30.575
One thing I really like about this is if the member updates it and tries to hack the system

388
00:26:30.875 --> 00:26:41.290
and change the content or the image, when they save this form, they're gonna be unpublishing their content again, giving the administrator true control over the quality of the content

389
00:26:42.230 --> 00:26:46.250
that gets published on their website. Alright. Now we did this without any customizations.

390
00:26:47.455 --> 00:26:48.675
Alright. Thank you, Jason.

391
00:26:49.295 --> 00:26:50.095
Not a problem. Yeah.

392
00:26:50.095 --> 00:26:56.255
That's a that's a big question people ask when they really want control of their site is I wanna moderate everything my members publish.

393
00:26:56.255 --> 00:27:01.260
And by doing this, you're basically taking away the power from from your members being able to set,

394
00:27:01.660 --> 00:27:03.440
their their posts to published.

395
00:27:04.300 --> 00:27:09.520
Now mind you, in all the years I've been doing this, I have to be honest, I have not seen one instance

396
00:27:09.980 --> 00:27:14.560
where anybody's ever had the bad luck of having content published that they didn't wanna have there.

397
00:27:14.655 --> 00:27:17.635
But I do understand this feature if you're an association,

398
00:27:18.655 --> 00:27:20.995
if you work with children, if there's certain,

399
00:27:21.535 --> 00:27:26.355
if there's certain institutes where one one post could really damage your brand.

400
00:27:26.495 --> 00:27:31.440
I do understand in that in that setting, but it's not something that I would recommend most people micromanage.

401
00:27:31.740 --> 00:27:35.920
Because hopefully, there'll be a lot of content, and you won't have to have someone on staff

402
00:27:36.300 --> 00:27:37.680
monitoring that content.

403
00:27:39.180 --> 00:27:40.080
Good point there.

404
00:27:41.135 --> 00:27:44.195
Alright. Let's take a call here. Wendy, how are you today?

405
00:27:45.935 --> 00:27:48.915
I'm fine. Thank you. You caught me eating, though.

406
00:27:49.455 --> 00:27:50.115
That's right.

407
00:27:51.375 --> 00:27:54.995
Yeah. I wanted to find out more about the affiliate

408
00:27:55.730 --> 00:27:58.630
software that can be added to this

409
00:27:59.810 --> 00:28:00.310
directory,

410
00:28:01.010 --> 00:28:02.310
if it's still available.

411
00:28:03.410 --> 00:28:04.210
Yeah. So,

412
00:28:04.850 --> 00:28:09.350
there's a lot of affiliate solutions out there. I'm just gonna do a quick search for

413
00:28:09.890 --> 00:28:11.030
affiliate software.

414
00:28:12.684 --> 00:28:15.505
And I'll show you kinda how you can how you can implement,

415
00:28:15.885 --> 00:28:16.705
some of these.

416
00:28:17.005 --> 00:28:20.784
So, actually, there's a whole list of affiliate software here. So

417
00:28:21.485 --> 00:28:25.745
Do you still have iDev connected somehow to this,

418
00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:30.400
directory? Yeah. So I'll I'll explain to you exactly how that that works.

419
00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:34.100
So affiliate software, if you're not familiar with for those of you out there,

420
00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:38.820
are people who refer traffic to your site. And if a member signs up and pays,

421
00:28:39.165 --> 00:28:41.505
you can reward them with a small

422
00:28:42.125 --> 00:28:45.565
finder's fee for whatever the amount is that the member signed up.

423
00:28:45.565 --> 00:28:48.945
Usually it's percentage based like 10% or 15 or 20.

424
00:28:49.325 --> 00:28:56.149
So if someone signs up for, you know, $10 then they'll get $2 of that and that incentivizes the affiliates

425
00:28:56.690 --> 00:28:58.230
to send traffic to your site.

426
00:28:58.690 --> 00:29:00.789
In order to make the whole process successful,

427
00:29:01.330 --> 00:29:02.389
you need to track

428
00:29:03.090 --> 00:29:07.590
when a sale is happening based on a visitor that an affiliate sent.

429
00:29:08.134 --> 00:29:12.794
Let me just show you, whichever one of these affiliates you choose to sign up with,

430
00:29:13.495 --> 00:29:18.235
Wendy, essentially what they're gonna do is they're gonna give you a little piece of tracking code.

431
00:29:18.534 --> 00:29:26.300
And that tracking code needs to go on the success page after a member signs up, whether it's a free sign up or a paid sign up.

432
00:29:26.520 --> 00:29:29.420
And let me show you exactly what that tracking code is.

433
00:29:29.800 --> 00:29:31.980
If you go into your widget manager,

434
00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:36.700
and if you type in conversion,

435
00:29:40.134 --> 00:29:40.875
there is

436
00:29:41.254 --> 00:29:45.754
what's called a Bootstrap theme conversion tracking codes widget. Okay?

437
00:29:46.294 --> 00:29:50.154
And we have documentation on this in the in the in the documentation,

438
00:29:50.855 --> 00:29:55.380
the knowledge base that we have. But if you edit this, and I'll just edit this here,

439
00:29:57.279 --> 00:30:01.759
basically you'll see some code here. And ShareASale is one type of affiliate.

440
00:30:01.759 --> 00:30:03.700
You can enter the tracking code here.

441
00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:08.885
And you just put your snippet in this, whatever whatever code they give you, you just put it in here.

442
00:30:09.985 --> 00:30:10.805
And then

443
00:30:11.905 --> 00:30:16.405
this is rendered after somebody signs up to your site. So it'll automatically

444
00:30:16.865 --> 00:30:17.365
track

445
00:30:17.665 --> 00:30:19.525
a successful payment, for example.

446
00:30:20.140 --> 00:30:23.040
And then obviously it knows which affiliate sent that traffic

447
00:30:23.500 --> 00:30:24.480
to your website.

448
00:30:25.179 --> 00:30:36.025
Now what's important with this tracking code is no matter what affiliate tracking software you use, they're going to want you to put what the value of the of the transaction was.

449
00:30:36.025 --> 00:30:38.925
So they know if it was a hundred dollars or $50.

450
00:30:39.385 --> 00:30:42.765
And this right here, it's already in here for you. You don't have to do anything.

451
00:30:42.825 --> 00:30:45.805
But I'm just gonna copy and paste this out of here.

452
00:30:46.250 --> 00:30:50.270
This variable here, this b amount plus b initial amount,

453
00:30:50.810 --> 00:30:52.410
this is the value of the sale.

454
00:30:52.410 --> 00:30:56.830
So when the affiliate software is trying to determine how much was that sale for,

455
00:30:57.290 --> 00:31:01.065
this is the Brilliant Directories variable that's gonna let them, know.

456
00:31:01.465 --> 00:31:08.365
And then also with the any affiliate tracking software you use, they want you to have a unique identifier for that sale.

457
00:31:08.585 --> 00:31:11.404
In this case, we use the member's user ID because,

458
00:31:11.784 --> 00:31:15.544
that is unique to each member who signs up to your site. They have a unique ID.

459
00:31:15.544 --> 00:31:20.799
It'll never be the same ID number for each member. So we use the member's user ID,

460
00:31:21.340 --> 00:31:22.240
as the variable

461
00:31:22.780 --> 00:31:25.520
for, for the unique tracking identifier.

462
00:31:25.980 --> 00:31:28.559
So those are the two variables most affiliate

463
00:31:29.179 --> 00:31:34.385
solutions are going to ask you to put into the into the snippet and it will dynamically change

464
00:31:34.685 --> 00:31:36.385
upon each successful transaction.

465
00:31:36.765 --> 00:31:40.225
And it'll track how much the sale was for and which member,

466
00:31:40.925 --> 00:31:42.545
which member it was for also.

467
00:31:43.405 --> 00:31:45.025
Okay. Great. Okay.

468
00:31:45.645 --> 00:31:47.665
Is there an affiliate software

469
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:49.380
program that you recommend?

470
00:31:49.760 --> 00:31:52.080
I like ShareASail, and I'll tell you why.

471
00:31:52.080 --> 00:31:56.660
ShareASail does has a one time fee of $600, which is pretty hefty, I think.

472
00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:03.894
But the value of it is ShareASail has a huge network of affiliates who are always looking for new programs to to join.

473
00:32:04.034 --> 00:32:06.934
So the reason I think it's worth it is one, it's a one time fee.

474
00:32:07.554 --> 00:32:08.294
Two is

475
00:32:08.754 --> 00:32:09.254
you

476
00:32:09.554 --> 00:32:14.274
don't have to work so hard to find affiliates for your program. You can just create,

477
00:32:14.674 --> 00:32:16.134
the program in ShareASale

478
00:32:16.490 --> 00:32:19.630
and you can choose what category of product

479
00:32:20.730 --> 00:32:23.230
your website is or your solution is,

480
00:32:23.530 --> 00:32:27.710
and people will start adding you as an affiliate. I'll show you an example.

481
00:32:28.090 --> 00:32:33.615
Us as Brilliant Directories have a ShareASale account and I'll just I'll log in here real quick.

482
00:32:34.315 --> 00:32:35.775
Okay. Give me a moment.

483
00:32:37.115 --> 00:32:41.135
And I log in from time to time. Let me just log in here to ShareASale.

484
00:32:42.075 --> 00:32:42.575
Alright.

485
00:32:43.435 --> 00:32:43.935
And,

486
00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:48.280
under affiliates, you'll see it says pending affiliates.

487
00:32:48.280 --> 00:32:51.320
I don't know if we have any right now because I think we just updated it.

488
00:32:51.320 --> 00:32:53.020
There's no pending affiliates, but

489
00:32:53.800 --> 00:32:55.500
I just did this yesterday. But,

490
00:32:56.280 --> 00:32:59.640
people are gonna find your program and request to join your program.

491
00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:03.945
So if you log in weekly, you'll just see new people who wanna join your affiliate program.

492
00:33:03.945 --> 00:33:06.445
And you can see if they have good reviews or bad reviews.

493
00:33:06.664 --> 00:33:12.365
Another issue with affiliates is that sometimes they can take advantage of your site and exploit your affiliate program,

494
00:33:12.825 --> 00:33:13.625
in certain ways.

495
00:33:13.625 --> 00:33:19.299
So what's good about ShareASale is you can see, you know, who has good reviews and bad reviews as an affiliate.

496
00:33:20.559 --> 00:33:21.059
So,

497
00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:28.019
yeah, you can use ShareASale or you can, you know, find another any other one of the dozens and dozens of affiliate

498
00:33:28.399 --> 00:33:29.700
solutions out there.

499
00:33:30.535 --> 00:33:31.435
Okay. Great.

500
00:33:31.815 --> 00:33:35.975
Thank you. You're welcome. Good question there. And there's some free ones out there too.

501
00:33:35.975 --> 00:33:36.935
So it just depends,

502
00:33:37.335 --> 00:33:39.275
you know, what you guys wanna use.

503
00:33:39.815 --> 00:33:42.955
Alright. Let's go on to some more questions here.

504
00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:46.820
Alright. We got Martin on the line. Martin, how are you today?

505
00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:50.660
Pretty good. How's it going? It's going. It's going. It's going well. Thank you.

506
00:33:51.040 --> 00:33:51.440
Yes.

507
00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:58.260
My question today is, I'm aware that you you can set up on your account free accounts and also paid memberships.

508
00:33:58.825 --> 00:34:01.805
Okay. But I was wondering is if you could set up a free account,

509
00:34:02.185 --> 00:34:03.245
specific attribute.

510
00:34:03.545 --> 00:34:05.965
Like, for example, if my orthopedic directory,

511
00:34:06.345 --> 00:34:10.525
I may want to or I want to set up a free account for students and residents.

512
00:34:10.824 --> 00:34:12.699
So what would be the best way to do that?

513
00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:19.319
So you're gonna have different membership levels and you want those people to input different types of data into their listing.

514
00:34:19.319 --> 00:34:22.380
It's not gonna be the same as another membership levels inputting,

515
00:34:22.839 --> 00:34:24.859
the what they're inputting. Is that what you're saying?

516
00:34:25.905 --> 00:34:27.185
Well well, like you said,

517
00:34:28.145 --> 00:34:34.225
now I would get a free account only if the only if it meets a certain criteria, which is either they're a resident or they're a student.

518
00:34:34.225 --> 00:34:37.185
You know, if they're a student or resident, I want to automatically give them a free account.

519
00:34:37.185 --> 00:34:38.885
Is there a way to do that that's easy?

520
00:34:39.780 --> 00:34:44.900
Alright. So what I would do with you is, with that request is something like like this.

521
00:34:44.900 --> 00:34:49.400
Can we go to your site? What's your site? Orthopedicsurgeonstoday.com.

522
00:34:50.500 --> 00:34:51.000
Alright.

523
00:34:51.699 --> 00:34:52.820
I'll give you a,

524
00:34:53.540 --> 00:34:55.000
a workaround here. Okay?

525
00:34:55.594 --> 00:34:56.094
Sure.

526
00:34:56.875 --> 00:35:01.295
Now if someone's a student, they generally have a dot e d u email.

527
00:35:02.234 --> 00:35:02.954
I had one,

528
00:35:03.355 --> 00:35:05.214
you know, when I went to university.

529
00:35:06.474 --> 00:35:07.775
So what you can do

530
00:35:09.130 --> 00:35:10.270
is is this,

531
00:35:11.210 --> 00:35:14.990
let's set up your membership level, let's set up a dummy membership level,

532
00:35:16.010 --> 00:35:19.790
and what do you have? You have five products here. I'm just gonna create one,

533
00:35:20.090 --> 00:35:20.910
new product,

534
00:35:21.450 --> 00:35:23.390
and I'm just gonna call it student

535
00:35:24.165 --> 00:35:25.145
member. Okay?

536
00:35:26.085 --> 00:35:26.585
And

537
00:35:27.285 --> 00:35:29.145
before actually before I do that,

538
00:35:29.445 --> 00:35:34.585
I if you I wanna do one thing. I'm gonna change the email that they get. Okay?

539
00:35:34.805 --> 00:35:38.789
So when someone signs up, you can choose what email they get after they sign up.

540
00:35:38.789 --> 00:35:40.390
It could say, welcome to the site.

541
00:35:40.390 --> 00:35:44.569
If it's a free member, generally it says click this link to activate your account, because,

542
00:35:45.430 --> 00:35:48.650
with free sign ups you want them to prove that it's a real email address.

543
00:35:48.975 --> 00:35:50.195
So what I would do

544
00:35:50.495 --> 00:35:51.155
for you

545
00:35:51.695 --> 00:35:53.875
is, let me find the welcome email.

546
00:35:55.535 --> 00:36:01.795
So the welcome basic is the the the this one here. Let me customize this,

547
00:36:02.940 --> 00:36:06.320
and we're gonna call this new template name welcome

548
00:36:06.700 --> 00:36:07.200
student.

549
00:36:07.900 --> 00:36:10.080
Okay. Okay. So this is gonna be

550
00:36:11.339 --> 00:36:12.240
welcome basic.

551
00:36:15.005 --> 00:36:17.025
It's not letting me type in

552
00:36:18.205 --> 00:36:19.185
here. Just a second.

553
00:36:21.645 --> 00:36:24.845
Alright. For some reason, it's not letting me type in that. I think because it's a system email.

554
00:36:24.845 --> 00:36:27.665
Let me just create, a new email template here,

555
00:36:28.445 --> 00:36:30.305
and we're gonna call this, welcome

556
00:36:32.780 --> 00:36:33.280
basic

557
00:36:34.380 --> 00:36:38.320
student. Please enter a valid template. Now I guess there's some, rules here.

558
00:36:38.620 --> 00:36:39.760
Let's do this.

559
00:36:40.140 --> 00:36:42.240
I think all all lowercase as well.

560
00:36:44.195 --> 00:36:47.655
Okay. Now that we got that out of the way, let me just copy, what's here.

561
00:36:48.435 --> 00:36:48.935
And

562
00:36:49.235 --> 00:36:50.375
we're gonna say,

563
00:36:51.875 --> 00:36:52.375
success.

564
00:36:56.369 --> 00:36:57.990
It's gonna say thanks for

565
00:36:58.930 --> 00:36:59.430
requesting

566
00:37:00.769 --> 00:37:05.990
to join. Okay. Then you're gonna write an email that says, you know, thanks for requesting

567
00:37:06.769 --> 00:37:08.150
to join our

568
00:37:08.450 --> 00:37:08.950
site.

569
00:37:10.495 --> 00:37:11.475
You've registered

570
00:37:13.855 --> 00:37:14.355
for

571
00:37:14.895 --> 00:37:16.275
for a student account,

572
00:37:17.375 --> 00:37:18.755
for a student account.

573
00:37:19.215 --> 00:37:20.595
Our team will

574
00:37:21.215 --> 00:37:22.755
review your profile,

575
00:37:24.150 --> 00:37:25.690
and once approved,

576
00:37:26.950 --> 00:37:27.690
we will

577
00:37:27.990 --> 00:37:28.890
email you,

578
00:37:30.869 --> 00:37:34.170
whatever, to let you know your account is activated, to let you know

579
00:37:34.550 --> 00:37:35.369
your account

580
00:37:36.550 --> 00:37:37.849
is activated.

581
00:37:38.735 --> 00:37:40.335
Okay. Sorry for the misspellings there.

582
00:37:40.655 --> 00:37:43.935
This isn't gonna be a final thing, so I'm just gonna save this template now. Okay?

583
00:37:43.935 --> 00:37:47.375
Welcome basics I'm just gonna say welcome student is the email.

584
00:37:47.375 --> 00:37:51.855
So you could put whatever, like, we're gonna moderate your account to make sure it's legit and all this stuff.

585
00:37:51.855 --> 00:37:56.080
But what I've done is, generally with a free sign up, they have to click the

586
00:37:56.380 --> 00:37:57.920
the confirmation link to

587
00:37:58.300 --> 00:37:59.920
to to activate their listing.

588
00:38:00.140 --> 00:38:10.675
So what we're doing is they're gonna sign up for free, but we're sending them an email that doesn't have that link for them to click to verify their email address to activate their listing on their own.

589
00:38:10.675 --> 00:38:16.375
So this kind of goes back into Pat's discussion of you can moderate things on your site. So now,

590
00:38:16.995 --> 00:38:22.050
that we've done this, let's go back to your products and let's create a new product called

591
00:38:23.010 --> 00:38:27.270
studentmemberwith.eduemail.

592
00:38:27.290 --> 00:38:32.790
You know, however, you just give them instructions on what to do. And then for the sign up email,

593
00:38:33.330 --> 00:38:35.235
there's a lot of email templates here.

594
00:38:35.715 --> 00:38:38.055
We're going to let me see here.

595
00:38:38.515 --> 00:38:41.955
There should be one. Oh, right here is that your custom ones are at the top.

596
00:38:41.955 --> 00:38:46.455
Welcome student is at the top. So welcome student is the email they're gonna get.

597
00:38:47.875 --> 00:38:49.655
So let's save the changes.

598
00:38:50.115 --> 00:38:52.510
Oh, pricing, it should be free.

599
00:38:53.770 --> 00:38:55.230
There we go. Okay.

600
00:38:55.530 --> 00:38:58.750
So right now it's set as a paid account. Let me set it to a free account.

601
00:38:59.930 --> 00:39:00.430
Pricing,

602
00:39:00.970 --> 00:39:02.990
free. So now it's a free account.

603
00:39:03.545 --> 00:39:06.685
Obviously there's tons of other settings to set for the for the listing.

604
00:39:08.905 --> 00:39:09.405
And

605
00:39:10.265 --> 00:39:13.485
so now when when someone goes to sign up on this page,

606
00:39:13.945 --> 00:39:19.830
sure they can sign up, they'll be able to create their profile, but it'll remain they it'll remain inactive.

607
00:39:19.970 --> 00:39:24.950
So let me just sign up here, jasonlmu.edu.

608
00:39:26.770 --> 00:39:31.830
And what your team can do is see if they've you can you can add instructions for them to

609
00:39:32.325 --> 00:39:35.705
sign that this is only if you have a dot edu email address.

610
00:39:37.045 --> 00:39:42.825
Looks like you need a security check on your on your free sign up forms here, and I see why. Let me

611
00:39:43.285 --> 00:39:46.105
you need to set up your Google recapture on this site.

612
00:39:46.299 --> 00:39:48.940
There's instructions here, and that'll get the recapture working.

613
00:39:48.940 --> 00:39:51.200
That protects your sign up forms from spammers.

614
00:39:51.420 --> 00:39:55.440
But after you do this your team can go in and check that it's a

615
00:39:55.940 --> 00:39:56.440
it's

616
00:39:56.940 --> 00:39:58.799
a it's a dot edu email address.

617
00:39:59.180 --> 00:40:01.845
You can come, and let me show you the last step here Martin.

618
00:40:03.205 --> 00:40:06.724
Let's see my browser is kind of going slow here. Oh there we go.

619
00:40:06.724 --> 00:40:12.905
So when you're in your members, I'm just gonna change this, when someone signs up and they're inactive it's gonna look like this.

620
00:40:13.445 --> 00:40:15.065
Let me just show you real quick.

621
00:40:17.799 --> 00:40:19.019
They're going to be

622
00:40:19.559 --> 00:40:20.859
it's going a little slow.

623
00:40:21.880 --> 00:40:23.240
They're gonna have a big,

624
00:40:23.640 --> 00:40:24.039
pink

625
00:40:25.480 --> 00:40:27.819
they're gonna be in pink here. They're not active.

626
00:40:27.880 --> 00:40:31.980
So your the email address will be here and you guys can see who's active.

627
00:40:32.055 --> 00:40:35.835
What you can then do is quick edit them, set them to active.

628
00:40:37.175 --> 00:40:37.675
Alright?

629
00:40:38.135 --> 00:40:42.234
And then what I like to do is, because you're doing this manually, is

630
00:40:44.400 --> 00:40:45.619
is you can then

631
00:40:46.480 --> 00:40:49.780
have another email. I'm just refreshing it so you see this pink goes away.

632
00:40:50.480 --> 00:40:51.680
Is have another email.

633
00:40:51.680 --> 00:40:56.980
You can send a send the member an email, create another custom email that says, hey your account's been activated.

634
00:40:57.119 --> 00:40:59.645
You can now, you know, you're now searchable on our site.

635
00:40:59.645 --> 00:41:04.065
You can select the right email template here. So here's your custom website templates,

636
00:41:04.525 --> 00:41:08.385
and then you have one that says like, you know, your your account is active on our site.

637
00:41:09.245 --> 00:41:15.270
So basically the students, I'm using the .edu as a reference to know if they're actual student or not

638
00:41:15.570 --> 00:41:15.970
and,

639
00:41:16.370 --> 00:41:19.270
like you said, if they have the edu, I gotta do it manually.

640
00:41:19.650 --> 00:41:23.910
I send out an email and then I then that's how I determine whether to actually

641
00:41:24.545 --> 00:41:26.085
to verify the free account.

642
00:41:26.785 --> 00:41:27.285
Exactly.

643
00:41:27.665 --> 00:41:30.565
And then any other members that you want to kind of moderate them,

644
00:41:31.105 --> 00:41:32.785
it doesn't have to be based on their email.

645
00:41:32.785 --> 00:41:38.005
You can tell them, hey complete your profile and and your team will review it and and you can then manually,

646
00:41:38.865 --> 00:41:40.640
activate it yourself. Okay.

647
00:41:41.260 --> 00:41:47.200
And I just have another question too. I believe I have I have, some time up to my, add ons club.

648
00:41:47.260 --> 00:41:49.839
But do you have some type of billing platform that,

649
00:41:50.380 --> 00:41:58.315
your members can log in and and pay your their bill or adjust their credit card or whatever they wanna do it or is that just all manually done?

650
00:41:58.455 --> 00:42:00.135
Yeah. You they should be able to,

651
00:42:00.855 --> 00:42:04.315
let me just log in as a member here real quick. I don't think we'll see.

652
00:42:04.775 --> 00:42:08.760
Well, besides my my website I'm talking about brilliant directories too.

653
00:42:09.240 --> 00:42:11.880
Yeah. There there is a link if you email the support team.

654
00:42:12.120 --> 00:42:15.180
Ask them, can I have a link to log in to my billing?

655
00:42:15.560 --> 00:42:19.160
And you can you can download your your past invoices from Brilliant Directories.

656
00:42:19.160 --> 00:42:20.620
You can see if you have any unpaid

657
00:42:21.335 --> 00:42:24.295
invoices, and you can update your credit card on file also.

658
00:42:24.295 --> 00:42:28.795
Just email the support team and ask them for a login to your billing account.

659
00:42:29.095 --> 00:42:30.474
Okay. Cool. Alright.

660
00:42:31.095 --> 00:42:32.154
Alright. Thanks Martin.

661
00:42:32.615 --> 00:42:35.275
Welcome. Enjoy your night. Thanks. You too.

662
00:42:36.700 --> 00:42:39.040
Alright. Good question there about how to moderate

663
00:42:39.660 --> 00:42:43.200
members who sign up to the site. That comes up quite often as well.

664
00:42:43.500 --> 00:42:49.660
And really the trick is you don't let them click the activation link in the in the in the email template that they get.

665
00:42:49.660 --> 00:42:54.945
Alright. Jeff, we'll move on to Jeff in Australia. Hi. How are you this morning? Good. Good. Good.

666
00:42:54.945 --> 00:42:56.485
Well, it's morning here anyhow.

667
00:42:57.025 --> 00:42:59.605
It's yeah. And it's just about late afternoon here.

668
00:43:00.785 --> 00:43:01.285
Okay.

669
00:43:01.585 --> 00:43:03.285
Just a small question. In

670
00:43:03.760 --> 00:43:05.940
the managing or searching members,

671
00:43:06.560 --> 00:43:11.300
the list of members, I now see since or probably last couple of months,

672
00:43:11.920 --> 00:43:12.420
IP,

673
00:43:13.760 --> 00:43:18.980
in a blue box on some of the members some of the members that have, joined.

674
00:43:20.225 --> 00:43:22.165
Yeah. Could we check out your site?

675
00:43:22.945 --> 00:43:25.605
Yes. Mysouthwest.com.au.

676
00:43:26.545 --> 00:43:27.045
Alright.

677
00:43:28.225 --> 00:43:31.925
So, there's a lot of things we do to try to prevent spam

678
00:43:32.730 --> 00:43:35.470
coming through your website. It's the nature of any website,

679
00:43:36.090 --> 00:43:38.030
no matter what type of website you have.

680
00:43:38.730 --> 00:43:40.350
So in order to prevent

681
00:43:40.890 --> 00:43:41.390
spammers

682
00:43:41.930 --> 00:43:42.430
from

683
00:43:42.970 --> 00:43:43.470
soliciting

684
00:43:44.010 --> 00:43:46.250
or or filling out all your web forms,

685
00:43:47.915 --> 00:43:50.974
Let's see here. You said you're you've seen the block IP,

686
00:43:53.355 --> 00:43:53.855
Yeah.

687
00:43:54.315 --> 00:43:57.455
It should be on the first page. There should be one or two.

688
00:43:58.555 --> 00:44:00.734
Let's see here. Here we go.

689
00:44:01.400 --> 00:44:02.940
So there's an option to

690
00:44:03.400 --> 00:44:04.940
to, block the IP.

691
00:44:05.800 --> 00:44:07.560
I understand that. What's

692
00:44:08.440 --> 00:44:14.540
why does it come up on some and and not others, and, and does it have an effect on the actual member

693
00:44:14.920 --> 00:44:16.460
from doing things or

694
00:44:16.795 --> 00:44:18.095
or us doing anything.

695
00:44:18.635 --> 00:44:20.395
If this is someone who's posted,

696
00:44:20.875 --> 00:44:24.415
I don't know what let me let me log in as this member. Let's see what happens here.

697
00:44:25.355 --> 00:44:30.735
Don't know exactly why you're seeing it for some members and not it might have something to do

698
00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:36.339
based on their login date. Let me see. I just logged in. Yeah. I'm not quite sure

699
00:44:36.880 --> 00:44:40.640
why it's showing for some members and not. It should show for all the members.

700
00:44:40.640 --> 00:44:44.099
Perhaps it wasn't able to track this person's IP address

701
00:44:45.845 --> 00:44:51.144
For some reason, the system wasn't able to pick up the IP address, so that's why it's not an option there.

702
00:44:52.644 --> 00:44:56.424
But in case, this goes again, this goes back to moderating your site.

703
00:44:56.565 --> 00:45:02.970
If there's a member who's who if you notice that someone has added, like, 10 free sign ups, free listings on your site,

704
00:45:03.750 --> 00:45:09.910
and it's all coming from the same IP address, you can block the IP and whoever's house that is or office.

705
00:45:10.150 --> 00:45:13.369
It'll it'll prevent them from even accessing your website anymore.

706
00:45:14.375 --> 00:45:16.635
Yeah. I understand that. It's just the,

707
00:45:17.415 --> 00:45:18.775
the randomness of this,

708
00:45:19.575 --> 00:45:22.075
block that sits there, was my concern.

709
00:45:23.415 --> 00:45:27.015
Yeah. I'm not sure. Actually, that's a good question. Let's,

710
00:45:27.780 --> 00:45:31.480
let me ask ask the support team why does block IP

711
00:45:31.940 --> 00:45:34.580
only show up for some members.

712
00:45:34.580 --> 00:45:38.260
I'm assuming it hasn't picked up the IP address for some reason for some of the members.

713
00:45:38.260 --> 00:45:40.200
See, we're seeing it for these two here.

714
00:45:41.755 --> 00:45:44.575
I'm not quite sure about that. I know it's a new feature we implemented.

715
00:45:45.915 --> 00:45:48.875
Yeah. Wanna make sure it's working properly, so we'll check it out.

716
00:45:48.875 --> 00:45:51.055
But, I'll look into that for you.

717
00:45:51.755 --> 00:45:52.255
Alright.

718
00:45:52.555 --> 00:45:55.615
Just another quick one. I asked this once before,

719
00:45:56.310 --> 00:45:59.050
and it came up today when Patrick,

720
00:45:59.830 --> 00:46:01.190
discussed about how to,

721
00:46:01.670 --> 00:46:02.170
monitor

722
00:46:03.270 --> 00:46:04.890
blogs and stuff like that.

723
00:46:05.190 --> 00:46:07.690
We use the manage posts

724
00:46:08.230 --> 00:46:08.730
area.

725
00:46:10.045 --> 00:46:11.585
You were looking into perhaps

726
00:46:13.005 --> 00:46:18.205
doing some changes in there and, getting rid of post tags and putting dates and a few other things.

727
00:46:18.205 --> 00:46:20.765
Is that something that's could be happening or not? Yep.

728
00:46:20.765 --> 00:46:29.150
That that is something we're we're gonna kinda redo this page a little bit to put you get more and more in the driver's seat with regards to the, to what you're seeing here.

729
00:46:30.090 --> 00:46:31.930
Yeah. That that would be great.

730
00:46:31.930 --> 00:46:35.630
You know, and sorting by dates or something like that at the top, you know.

731
00:46:36.010 --> 00:46:36.510
Absolutely.

732
00:46:36.975 --> 00:46:41.295
So, yeah, this page is gonna get a it's good the way it is, but we're gonna add a few more,

733
00:46:41.855 --> 00:46:44.175
kind of bells and whistles to really make it complete.

734
00:46:44.175 --> 00:46:46.595
So definitely looking into updating this page.

735
00:46:47.135 --> 00:46:51.395
Alright. Thank you very much for everything. Alright. My pleasure. Thanks for joining us, Jeff.

736
00:46:52.440 --> 00:46:53.240
Alright. We got,

737
00:46:53.880 --> 00:46:56.060
let's get, Blair on the line here.

738
00:46:56.440 --> 00:46:57.500
How are you doing, Blair?

739
00:46:57.880 --> 00:46:59.800
I'm doing well, Jason. Thank you. Alright.

740
00:47:00.520 --> 00:47:02.380
I started yesterday with AdSense,

741
00:47:03.640 --> 00:47:06.780
and placing the embedded code on my

742
00:47:07.385 --> 00:47:07.885
banner

743
00:47:08.665 --> 00:47:11.724
ads and on my banner locations in the dashboard.

744
00:47:12.185 --> 00:47:13.065
And right now,

745
00:47:13.785 --> 00:47:16.585
the ads are only appearing in my,

746
00:47:16.984 --> 00:47:17.484
footer

747
00:47:17.865 --> 00:47:18.365
banner.

748
00:47:19.400 --> 00:47:23.340
Although I put the code in both of the small banner ad and below,

749
00:47:24.280 --> 00:47:26.940
header banner ad. I'm not sure if that's

750
00:47:27.560 --> 00:47:31.100
something I'm not doing right or Let's take a look. Yeah. What's your site?

751
00:47:31.725 --> 00:47:33.245
Thestage.com.

752
00:47:33.245 --> 00:47:34.785
Alright. Let's take a look together.

753
00:47:35.565 --> 00:47:37.425
And I'll mention a couple things

754
00:47:39.085 --> 00:47:39.565
about,

755
00:47:40.205 --> 00:47:42.625
Google AdSense and banners as well.

756
00:47:43.325 --> 00:47:46.020
So recently, Google AdSense has has pushed an update.

757
00:47:46.020 --> 00:47:50.100
They're wanting people to add what's called an ads dot t x t file,

758
00:47:50.580 --> 00:47:52.360
to their sites. Have you added that?

759
00:47:52.660 --> 00:47:54.280
Yes. I did. Yep.

760
00:47:54.820 --> 00:47:55.640
Very good.

761
00:47:56.340 --> 00:47:58.440
Let me check out your Google Ads here.

762
00:47:59.095 --> 00:48:02.075
And so you said it's working in the footer.

763
00:48:03.815 --> 00:48:05.595
Here's a Google Ad right here.

764
00:48:06.215 --> 00:48:09.355
And let's go to like a search results page.

765
00:48:15.830 --> 00:48:16.330
Okay.

766
00:48:16.950 --> 00:48:23.110
So it it should be showing in the header here and in the sidebar. Is that wait. What's missing? No.

767
00:48:23.110 --> 00:48:24.490
The header and,

768
00:48:25.030 --> 00:48:25.455
the

769
00:48:25.855 --> 00:48:31.135
header banner ad and then the small header banner ad. The small header banner ad. Alright.

770
00:48:31.135 --> 00:48:34.355
So let's go to your design settings. In order to get the small

771
00:48:34.655 --> 00:48:35.875
header banner ad,

772
00:48:36.495 --> 00:48:41.155
this one is a little buried, but, it's under the header design in the design settings.

773
00:48:41.990 --> 00:48:46.809
Under show header search, you want to do hide search show banner ad.

774
00:48:47.190 --> 00:48:49.369
So let's Okay. Let's save those changes.

775
00:48:49.990 --> 00:48:54.890
And what that's gonna do is it's gonna add it, up here in the top right corner.

776
00:48:55.510 --> 00:49:01.535
Have you customized that widget by any chance? Let's save the changes here. So I am. I am. Alright.

777
00:49:01.535 --> 00:49:05.695
You see the space just increased here? Okay. There it is now. Yep. Alright.

778
00:49:05.695 --> 00:49:09.375
You got a banner ad there. Now Google has different sizes for banner ads.

779
00:49:09.375 --> 00:49:16.910
It it it just depends who they're serving the ad for, but Google will always do their best to fit the ad for the ad space.

780
00:49:17.049 --> 00:49:23.085
So sometimes you might see an ad that's that's like this or that is takes up more space.

781
00:49:23.724 --> 00:49:25.345
Now what's the second ad?

782
00:49:26.365 --> 00:49:29.185
The the below header? Below header. Yep.

783
00:49:29.805 --> 00:49:31.984
Alright. Let's see what's going on here.

784
00:49:33.165 --> 00:49:37.505
So you do have your ad code here. It's the same ad code as the

785
00:49:38.330 --> 00:49:39.710
the footer. Correct?

786
00:49:40.250 --> 00:49:41.790
Correct. Alright. Let's

787
00:49:42.570 --> 00:49:44.910
let's use the show widgets feature here.

788
00:49:45.210 --> 00:49:50.670
Oh, can I do something before I show that real quick? Guys, we launched we gave a preview before.

789
00:49:50.975 --> 00:49:55.635
We've launched the new text labels editor. So if you click on text labels here,

790
00:49:56.655 --> 00:49:58.595
you should and let me

791
00:49:58.975 --> 00:50:04.015
you should get this black box here, and you can easily you see all the yellow text here?

792
00:50:04.015 --> 00:50:08.570
This is all default text for your site. You can easily change what it says.

793
00:50:08.570 --> 00:50:10.990
So this says contact now, you can say

794
00:50:11.370 --> 00:50:18.010
I'm not going to change it on your site player, but you can easily see the text and you can save your changes right on the front end of your site.

795
00:50:18.010 --> 00:50:20.830
So you don't have to go into admin to change your text labels

796
00:50:21.494 --> 00:50:21.994
anymore.

797
00:50:23.255 --> 00:50:28.394
So this is just a little bonus thing live. And, let me hide the text labels now,

798
00:50:28.775 --> 00:50:30.875
and I'm gonna do the show widgets now.

799
00:50:32.454 --> 00:50:32.954
Okay.

800
00:50:37.090 --> 00:50:38.950
I wanna see if you have your header,

801
00:50:39.650 --> 00:50:40.150
customized.

802
00:50:41.410 --> 00:50:41.910
So,

803
00:50:44.450 --> 00:50:46.870
yeah, it looks like this is not

804
00:50:49.575 --> 00:50:52.315
loading here, and I'm gonna assume

805
00:50:52.775 --> 00:50:54.155
it's because you have

806
00:50:55.175 --> 00:50:58.955
your header customized right here, and you're not getting

807
00:51:01.190 --> 00:51:04.650
the correct code. So let me just do something for you here.

808
00:51:06.710 --> 00:51:07.769
Let me pop this

809
00:51:08.069 --> 00:51:08.890
guy here.

810
00:51:09.509 --> 00:51:11.529
Let me hook you up right here, Blair.

811
00:51:12.549 --> 00:51:13.049
Okay.

812
00:51:13.430 --> 00:51:15.690
Yep. See, we're missing this here.

813
00:51:17.065 --> 00:51:18.205
Let's save the changes.

814
00:51:24.665 --> 00:51:29.325
And we should see the, the code on the site now. So let me hide the widgets.

815
00:51:33.280 --> 00:51:34.660
And you have

816
00:51:34.960 --> 00:51:37.380
now a space up here. You see that?

817
00:51:37.680 --> 00:51:41.780
K. There it is. So now you got banners loaded on your site. Here, you're ready to monetize.

818
00:51:42.945 --> 00:51:43.445
Perfect.

819
00:51:43.825 --> 00:51:45.125
Alright. Is that good?

820
00:51:45.505 --> 00:51:49.445
Perfect. Great, Jason. I appreciate all your help. You're very welcome. Glad to help.

821
00:51:49.825 --> 00:51:51.265
Alright. So Blair has,

822
00:51:51.665 --> 00:51:56.005
his ads on his site now. Very good. Right. Let's go to Colette.

823
00:51:56.225 --> 00:51:58.085
Colette, I've unmuted your microphone.

824
00:51:58.500 --> 00:52:01.800
Hi, Jason. How are you? Excellent. Thank you. How can we help you today?

825
00:52:02.980 --> 00:52:07.400
Jason, I started my directory as a local directory for our little town,

826
00:52:07.860 --> 00:52:10.120
but I now want I'm considering

827
00:52:10.580 --> 00:52:13.160
expanding it to cover our whole district.

828
00:52:14.965 --> 00:52:18.425
The problem is the district is not searchable on

829
00:52:18.965 --> 00:52:23.545
Google Maps. It's only the town and then the region, which is even larger.

830
00:52:26.500 --> 00:52:29.000
What what do you suggest in terms of

831
00:52:29.300 --> 00:52:30.520
changing the name?

832
00:52:31.220 --> 00:52:36.180
And I'm worried more about the SEO and how it's gonna affect that as well. Okay.

833
00:52:36.180 --> 00:52:38.360
What's what's your current site? Have an exit list.

834
00:52:39.045 --> 00:52:42.105
It's rolestondirectory.co.nz.

835
00:52:44.085 --> 00:52:45.865
And let's go to your site.

836
00:52:47.365 --> 00:52:47.865
So

837
00:52:49.125 --> 00:52:49.625
Roleston

838
00:52:50.645 --> 00:52:51.464
is a district.

839
00:52:52.470 --> 00:52:53.930
Rolleston is the town.

840
00:52:54.230 --> 00:52:56.090
Okay. Selwyn is the district,

841
00:52:57.109 --> 00:52:58.170
and Canterbury

842
00:52:58.470 --> 00:53:02.250
is the region. So I'm wanting to change it to Selwyn, but

843
00:53:02.869 --> 00:53:06.795
Selwyn is not searchable on Google Maps. I don't know if that's gonna make a difference.

844
00:53:06.875 --> 00:53:08.655
So the biggest one is a region.

845
00:53:09.515 --> 00:53:11.535
Correct. Then there's a district.

846
00:53:12.474 --> 00:53:16.815
Yep. Excuse my spelling here. And then the smaller one is the town.

847
00:53:17.355 --> 00:53:17.855
Yes.

848
00:53:19.434 --> 00:53:21.115
Okay. And Rolleston is a

849
00:53:22.550 --> 00:53:25.050
Town. Is a town. And you want to expand

850
00:53:25.430 --> 00:53:25.930
to

851
00:53:27.190 --> 00:53:28.170
include what?

852
00:53:29.109 --> 00:53:29.850
The district.

853
00:53:30.869 --> 00:53:31.930
And the district

854
00:53:32.230 --> 00:53:32.970
is called?

855
00:53:33.910 --> 00:53:34.410
Selwyn.

856
00:53:35.484 --> 00:53:38.145
How do you spell that Selwyn? S E L

857
00:53:38.685 --> 00:53:40.145
W Y N.

858
00:53:40.605 --> 00:53:41.984
Okay. Very proper.

859
00:53:42.445 --> 00:53:43.665
Selwyn is the district.

860
00:53:45.165 --> 00:53:46.464
Is there is it

861
00:53:47.165 --> 00:53:48.205
so let's let's

862
00:53:50.650 --> 00:53:53.630
and let me ask you how many towns are in the Selwyn District?

863
00:53:54.730 --> 00:53:56.750
Probably a dozen small towns.

864
00:53:57.770 --> 00:54:01.790
A dozen small towns, okay. Let's actually Google that for a moment.

865
00:54:05.655 --> 00:54:07.194
Selwyn District Wikipedia.

866
00:54:10.454 --> 00:54:12.315
Okay. Let's go downtown.

867
00:54:12.855 --> 00:54:15.434
Okay. There's nothing here. I'm just trying to look.

868
00:54:17.360 --> 00:54:21.220
Okay. Is this the Selwyn District here and these are the different towns, this map here?

869
00:54:21.840 --> 00:54:26.900
That's correct. Yep. Okay. Are they the wards? Is that what towns are or wards?

870
00:54:28.240 --> 00:54:29.060
No. No.

871
00:54:29.440 --> 00:54:31.215
It's very complicated. Okay.

872
00:54:31.535 --> 00:54:34.595
Awards make up a couple of a few times. Okay.

873
00:54:35.295 --> 00:54:38.675
Well, the name of the website is Rolestan directory.

874
00:54:40.175 --> 00:54:42.035
So you're you're already getting some

875
00:54:42.335 --> 00:54:44.495
value from Google with that. Let's Google,

876
00:54:44.815 --> 00:54:47.130
Rolestan directory and see what comes up.

877
00:54:47.930 --> 00:54:49.549
Okay. So you're number one

878
00:54:50.490 --> 00:54:51.789
for Rolestan directory.

879
00:54:51.849 --> 00:54:58.190
So firstly, I wouldn't recommend changing your domain name or doing anything silly or foolish with with your SEO,

880
00:54:58.890 --> 00:54:59.789
because you might

881
00:55:00.225 --> 00:55:04.005
comp even if you do everything perfectly, you still run the chance of compromising

882
00:55:04.305 --> 00:55:06.645
all the good value you've built for your site.

883
00:55:08.065 --> 00:55:08.565
So

884
00:55:09.025 --> 00:55:11.685
what I would do is I would keep this directory,

885
00:55:13.859 --> 00:55:16.200
and I would actually recommend starting

886
00:55:16.980 --> 00:55:20.119
another directory. Obviously it's it's going to be more broad

887
00:55:20.500 --> 00:55:21.000
for

888
00:55:21.460 --> 00:55:22.519
Selwyn District.

889
00:55:24.500 --> 00:55:26.839
And you can call it Selwyn directory,

890
00:55:28.015 --> 00:55:28.335
And

891
00:55:28.975 --> 00:55:30.835
Yeah. Just follow the same model you've

892
00:55:31.135 --> 00:55:33.075
you've followed for the Rolleston directory.

893
00:55:33.215 --> 00:55:39.875
You can showcase the different towns that should join your site, the businesses that should join that are part of the Selwyn County.

894
00:55:41.135 --> 00:55:42.995
And what you can do is,

895
00:55:43.590 --> 00:55:45.450
because this site is doing well, is

896
00:55:47.990 --> 00:55:50.090
you can you can add a link to the Rolston

897
00:55:51.030 --> 00:55:51.530
directory.

898
00:55:52.390 --> 00:55:56.490
Let me show you something cool that that someone did. I wonder,

899
00:55:58.185 --> 00:56:01.005
this is an ecommerce site, but I wanna show you what they did.

900
00:56:01.065 --> 00:56:06.265
This is And real quick before you go there, Jason, just take two oh, it's too late. Sorry. Go ahead.

901
00:56:06.265 --> 00:56:06.765
Yeah.

902
00:56:07.065 --> 00:56:14.480
I wanted to just show how she did a great job in that Google, with the Google Places in case people are wondering what you did there on the right hand side.

903
00:56:14.480 --> 00:56:15.119
Look at this.

904
00:56:15.119 --> 00:56:20.740
So that's you submitted that to Google and Google, they verify that, but you get a lot of SEO

905
00:56:21.280 --> 00:56:22.720
power and weight when you do that.

906
00:56:22.720 --> 00:56:26.665
I think you did a fantastic job and you're definitely getting a lot of traffic from that.

907
00:56:26.665 --> 00:56:30.605
And that's one of the things that really helps you go to the top of the list. So so congratulations

908
00:56:30.984 --> 00:56:32.204
on on getting that there.

909
00:56:32.744 --> 00:56:36.845
Thank you. So what what you can do is so this is a ecommerce site.

910
00:56:38.670 --> 00:56:43.490
Don't mind the nature of the content. Now what they did is, if you notice at the top of the site,

911
00:56:44.109 --> 00:56:46.369
they this is a site for model ships.

912
00:56:46.750 --> 00:56:50.829
They have another website for nautical decor. It's this it's very similar.

913
00:56:50.829 --> 00:56:55.075
It's now this this is a totally different website, but it focuses on nautical decor.

914
00:56:55.455 --> 00:56:56.835
Then they have another website

915
00:56:57.135 --> 00:56:58.595
that's beach decor.

916
00:56:58.975 --> 00:57:01.475
But what they've done is they have different web properties,

917
00:57:01.855 --> 00:57:05.635
and they allow you to toggle between them. So you can

918
00:57:06.015 --> 00:57:06.755
you can

919
00:57:07.280 --> 00:57:08.580
have your Selwyn

920
00:57:09.280 --> 00:57:13.140
directory as the main one, and then as you add new properties

921
00:57:13.520 --> 00:57:14.660
have them available,

922
00:57:15.359 --> 00:57:18.020
at the top there. That kind of helps integrate

923
00:57:18.400 --> 00:57:19.220
your whole,

924
00:57:20.165 --> 00:57:22.805
network, let's call it. And eventually you could Okay.

925
00:57:22.885 --> 00:57:26.984
You could, you've had great success with Rolston directory and ranking.

926
00:57:27.125 --> 00:57:30.484
There's no reason why slowly over time you shouldn't do that,

927
00:57:30.885 --> 00:57:32.905
if they're large enough, the other towns,

928
00:57:33.770 --> 00:57:36.990
because you've obviously demonstrated that you've done well. You're ranking

929
00:57:37.770 --> 00:57:39.530
number one for Rolston directory.

930
00:57:39.530 --> 00:57:43.630
I'm curious, I don't think you're number one for this, but let me search Rolston business.

931
00:57:44.170 --> 00:57:46.430
Actually you are number one for Rolston

932
00:57:46.730 --> 00:57:47.630
business, which

933
00:57:48.435 --> 00:57:49.415
which is huge.

934
00:57:50.355 --> 00:57:50.855
So

935
00:57:51.475 --> 00:57:55.735
if you can follow the same formula and also for businesses, Rolston businesses.

936
00:57:56.115 --> 00:58:01.175
So you're you're number one ahead of all these other sites, and what you can do is

937
00:58:01.480 --> 00:58:08.060
you can, over time, you know, it just requires a small customization to create these links at the top of all the websites.

938
00:58:08.760 --> 00:58:09.260
And

939
00:58:09.640 --> 00:58:12.860
you can have a whole network of sites. I even think

940
00:58:14.265 --> 00:58:16.765
this clothing, even Gap does it.

941
00:58:17.545 --> 00:58:20.904
So this is a clothing company and in The States, Gap,

942
00:58:21.625 --> 00:58:23.704
they link to their other ones, Old Navy.

943
00:58:23.704 --> 00:58:27.065
These are other brands and they let you toggle between them at the top.

944
00:58:27.065 --> 00:58:29.645
So as you grow your network of sites,

945
00:58:30.480 --> 00:58:37.060
you can actually link them at the top and that way you don't compromise any of the SEO value you've built with this website.

946
00:58:38.080 --> 00:58:38.580
Great.

947
00:58:39.440 --> 00:58:42.855
Okay. And it And it sounds sounds like a good idea. Okay.

948
00:58:43.555 --> 00:58:47.895
So, yeah. I I would keep this site. Don't mess with it, and and just start a new directory,

949
00:58:49.075 --> 00:58:54.135
because obviously this has already tremendous SEO value, and and you don't wanna do anything to compromise it.

950
00:58:54.990 --> 00:58:58.930
Super. I appreciate that. Thanks very much, Jess. You're very welcome, Colette.

951
00:58:59.550 --> 00:59:05.250
Alright. That's a good example of a local directory here, and she's looking to expand now.

952
00:59:05.630 --> 00:59:07.490
Good search engine optimization there.

953
00:59:08.115 --> 00:59:11.815
Let's continue with some more questions. How are we doing on on time, Pat?

954
00:59:12.515 --> 00:59:16.435
We're doing we're doing good. Yeah. Okay. We could take a few more questions. Alright.

955
00:59:16.435 --> 00:59:18.375
I see four Daniel Marsbands

956
00:59:18.755 --> 00:59:23.900
logged in. Let's see. I think this one is the one. Alright. Daniel? Hello? Yes. Yes.

957
00:59:23.900 --> 00:59:25.040
Can you hear us?

958
00:59:25.500 --> 00:59:29.680
Yeah. Actually, my name is Carol. I think that you've, connected with me.

959
00:59:29.980 --> 00:59:33.200
Okay. It looks like I've unmuted a Daniel Marsban.

960
00:59:33.900 --> 00:59:36.640
Let's see here. So you you didn't have a question, Carol?

961
00:59:37.685 --> 00:59:39.945
I definitely have a question. Oh, cool.

962
00:59:40.405 --> 00:59:46.565
And I wondered whether I could give you the details of my site and whether you could have a quick look at a a couple of,

963
00:59:47.285 --> 00:59:51.385
a couple of things that, I have problems with. Sure. What's your step?

964
00:59:52.520 --> 00:59:53.420
It's called,

965
00:59:54.680 --> 00:59:55.180
individual

966
00:59:55.800 --> 00:59:56.300
and,

967
00:59:57.080 --> 00:59:57.580
relationship

968
00:59:57.960 --> 00:59:58.460
counseling.

969
00:59:59.400 --> 01:00:02.619
The actual site is called counseling trust seven

970
01:00:03.240 --> 01:00:04.460
dot org u k.

971
01:00:05.240 --> 01:00:07.339
And what's one of the problems with your site?

972
01:00:08.735 --> 01:00:14.515
If you have a look and you you tap on the part where it says individuals at the top on the the bar,

973
01:00:15.215 --> 01:00:18.335
what I've done is I've put underneath the whole load of,

974
01:00:18.975 --> 01:00:20.915
reasons that people come for counseling.

975
01:00:22.480 --> 01:00:25.940
And, so I'm kind of using that category thing,

976
01:00:26.320 --> 01:00:27.060
the individual's

977
01:00:27.360 --> 01:00:27.860
part,

978
01:00:28.400 --> 01:00:30.340
to show up reasons people come.

979
01:00:30.800 --> 01:00:33.540
And what it shows up is the tag details

980
01:00:34.285 --> 01:00:35.025
and the,

981
01:00:35.725 --> 01:00:37.905
and the j. That's it. That's right.

982
01:00:38.685 --> 01:00:40.065
And it shows up,

983
01:00:40.765 --> 01:00:42.065
the post it on,

984
01:00:42.925 --> 01:00:44.125
and it shows up,

985
01:00:44.445 --> 01:00:47.825
the on my one, it shows up, some further details.

986
01:00:48.050 --> 01:00:50.790
But I wondered if there's a way that you can take that off.

987
01:00:51.490 --> 01:00:56.869
Sure. So here's on the search results. Do you wanna remove the post it on here? The date? Yeah.

988
01:00:57.010 --> 01:01:01.925
And the other question I have that you might wanna do at the same time is just under underneath.

989
01:01:01.925 --> 01:01:03.385
And then this is just nonsensical

990
01:01:03.765 --> 01:01:06.665
garbage that I put on there just for I'm testing it.

991
01:01:06.725 --> 01:01:12.450
But it says highly sensitive person, people, and then it says to be highly sensitive is not a mental health issue.

992
01:01:13.010 --> 01:01:15.250
And but it only does one and a half lines.

993
01:01:15.250 --> 01:01:19.109
And I wondered whether it's possible to make that maybe four lines.

994
01:01:19.650 --> 01:01:20.150
Absolutely.

995
01:01:21.730 --> 01:01:24.390
Ask and you shall receive. Let me help you out with that.

996
01:01:25.395 --> 01:01:27.815
So what I'm gonna do is edit the post settings,

997
01:01:28.355 --> 01:01:32.135
and this is the blog and by default it shows the posted by date.

998
01:01:32.195 --> 01:01:38.615
So, and you also don't want the posted by to show on the the actual page where you're where you're reading information.

999
01:01:38.755 --> 01:01:42.200
Correct? Reading the information. Yes. That's yeah. That's right. Alright.

1000
01:01:42.200 --> 01:01:46.060
So, first is I'm gonna get it just in here. This is the code that displays.

1001
01:01:46.360 --> 01:01:48.060
So the the limit words,

1002
01:01:48.600 --> 01:01:51.100
I'm gonna increase this to 300.

1003
01:01:51.240 --> 01:01:51.740
That'll

1004
01:01:52.164 --> 01:01:55.065
increase the length of the description that it's showing.

1005
01:01:55.605 --> 01:01:56.984
And let me remove,

1006
01:01:57.525 --> 01:01:58.585
this for you,

1007
01:02:00.005 --> 01:02:01.065
which is the

1008
01:02:03.365 --> 01:02:03.865
date.

1009
01:02:04.724 --> 01:02:05.224
Okay.

1010
01:02:06.849 --> 01:02:08.630
And let me just save those changes.

1011
01:02:10.290 --> 01:02:12.290
And let's see if 300 is a good amount.

1012
01:02:12.290 --> 01:02:15.970
We don't want too much, but, I see what you mean about the one and a half lines.

1013
01:02:15.970 --> 01:02:21.115
So the posted by date is gone, and now it's going to three lines, and then it's saying dot dot dot.

1014
01:02:21.115 --> 01:02:23.055
Is that acceptable? Do you wanna show more?

1015
01:02:23.674 --> 01:02:25.755
No. That's I mean, I can do that from there.

1016
01:02:25.755 --> 01:02:30.015
I would like to show a bit more, I think, but I think that that you've saved my life. Thank you.

1017
01:02:30.075 --> 01:02:30.575
Okay.

1018
01:02:31.595 --> 01:02:31.795
Now let's

1019
01:02:32.555 --> 01:02:34.815
jump round and around. Let's Time to work.

1020
01:02:35.510 --> 01:02:39.050
Let's do the detail page now. So we'll get rid of the

1021
01:02:39.589 --> 01:02:40.970
post it on here.

1022
01:02:42.230 --> 01:02:45.930
And do you want to show the category that it's been posted in?

1023
01:02:47.270 --> 01:02:50.170
No. No. Okay. Let's click on one of these.

1024
01:02:50.875 --> 01:02:54.655
So right now it's showing in so let's remove the

1025
01:02:55.995 --> 01:02:58.255
Yeah. The category as well.

1026
01:03:01.595 --> 01:03:03.915
Now what's good about this, let me show everyone a trick.

1027
01:03:03.915 --> 01:03:06.415
If you're ever messing with your search results

1028
01:03:07.410 --> 01:03:09.270
code or your detail page code,

1029
01:03:09.970 --> 01:03:13.430
and you've messed something up, there is a restore default code

1030
01:03:13.730 --> 01:03:17.329
here. You just need to find out which feature you want to restore.

1031
01:03:17.329 --> 01:03:21.805
So in this case, she did her blog articles. You can click on restore default code.

1032
01:03:21.805 --> 01:03:29.985
So if you happen to mess something up here, if you're getting into the code, you can restore it back to our our basically our default settings and start

1033
01:03:30.605 --> 01:03:31.425
over again.

1034
01:03:31.820 --> 01:03:35.760
So let's check this detail page now. It should be gone up here.

1035
01:03:36.220 --> 01:03:40.160
Okay. Great. Now you just have the the title and the description of the article.

1036
01:03:41.340 --> 01:03:44.380
Right. That's that's wonderful. Thank you. Okay.

1037
01:03:44.700 --> 01:03:46.960
Is there anything else you need? That was pretty quick.

1038
01:03:47.405 --> 01:03:51.325
No. From that, I can get you know, probably I can see how I can do the other ones.

1039
01:03:51.325 --> 01:03:55.085
That's that's that's brilliant. Thank you so much. I really appreciate your time. Alright.

1040
01:03:55.085 --> 01:04:00.065
There's one thing I wanna do for you. I see you have these links here for contact us and login, but

1041
01:04:00.630 --> 01:04:04.010
the the color, you can't see it because of the contrast. Let me update

1042
01:04:04.549 --> 01:04:05.770
that, to white,

1043
01:04:07.109 --> 01:04:12.309
so you can see that a little bit better. Is that okay if I do that? Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's fabulous.

1044
01:04:12.309 --> 01:04:15.529
Thank you. Okay. So that one is the header design,

1045
01:04:16.075 --> 01:04:18.095
and the link and font color,

1046
01:04:18.395 --> 01:04:19.855
I'll just set it to white.

1047
01:04:20.315 --> 01:04:21.695
And we'll save the changes,

1048
01:04:22.555 --> 01:04:24.735
and then you should be able to see those

1049
01:04:25.675 --> 01:04:28.495
links up here. It just takes a second to save.

1050
01:04:31.290 --> 01:04:32.190
There we go.

1051
01:04:33.290 --> 01:04:33.790
That's

1052
01:04:34.410 --> 01:04:38.350
