There are some phenomenal 23 00:01:18.445 --> 00:01:23.265 discussions in there. We used to have a group on LinkedIn, but there's much more engagement 24 00:01:23.645 --> 00:01:27.345 that we're seeing in the Facebook group, so we really encourage you guys to join. 25 00:01:27.830 --> 00:01:32.490 You can go to brilliantdirectories.com/facebook. 26 00:01:32.790 --> 00:01:36.490 Just make sure you're logged into your Facebook account, and you can join, 27 00:01:37.110 --> 00:01:41.130 the group, and you can post discussions, you can comment on discussions. 28 00:01:41.485 --> 00:01:46.625 It's a great place to better educate yourself on how to market your membership community. 29 00:01:47.564 --> 00:01:50.225 And again, if this is your four first webinar, 30 00:01:50.685 --> 00:01:54.384 with us, one of the goals here, we wanna help you hone, 31 00:01:54.765 --> 00:01:59.290 your marketing skills to help your online community grow faster. 32 00:01:59.510 --> 00:02:02.950 You know, it's very, very easy to launch a website these days. 33 00:02:02.950 --> 00:02:05.930 There's tons of themes and tools and solutions out there. 34 00:02:05.990 --> 00:02:11.450 But after the website on is online is really where where the work needs to start happening. 35 00:02:11.805 --> 00:02:13.745 It's about how to grow your community, 36 00:02:14.284 --> 00:02:15.984 and that's the part that requires 37 00:02:16.284 --> 00:02:16.765 strategy. 38 00:02:16.765 --> 00:02:25.260 So here in webinar Wednesday, we can of course talk about some things on on your website setup, but we really wanna focus on ways to kind of help you 39 00:02:25.659 --> 00:02:28.799 increase member sign ups, increase traffic and revenue, 40 00:02:29.099 --> 00:02:31.200 how to improve your website's navigation. 41 00:02:31.340 --> 00:02:42.575 That's that's a common theme we're seeing that is is a sticking point is how you can easily update the the navigation and flow of your website to create a better user experience which leads to better results, 42 00:02:43.435 --> 00:02:47.035 and other ways and and ways to generate and sell leads to your members. 43 00:02:47.035 --> 00:02:48.655 Again, that's tied into generating, 44 00:02:49.355 --> 00:02:50.415 revenue. So, 45 00:02:50.715 --> 00:02:57.620 anything related to growing your community, marketing your website, ranking better in Google, those are all great topics 46 00:02:57.920 --> 00:03:02.500 to cover in webinar Wednesday. So if you feel that you're stuck somewhere with your website, 47 00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:25.690 and you need you need to get out of the setup phase and into the marketing phase, or if you're in the marketing phase and you're trying to reach a new a new goal, a new milestone, maybe it's for your website traffic, revenue, number of subscribers or members that you have, this is the place to be where we can bounce ideas off of each other and kinda help you get to get to the point where you wanna be with your goals. 48 00:03:27.030 --> 00:03:32.090 And with that said, in in order to really, really maximize the time of webinar Wednesdays, 49 00:03:32.665 --> 00:03:33.725 if you guys have, 50 00:03:34.985 --> 00:03:37.805 you know, support related issues, if you're finding things, 51 00:03:38.265 --> 00:03:42.845 that might be more support related such as comprehensive edits or customization requests, 52 00:03:43.385 --> 00:03:46.525 those would be more appropriate to contact the dedicated, 53 00:03:46.905 --> 00:03:47.885 Brilliant Directories 54 00:03:48.320 --> 00:03:49.060 support team. 55 00:03:49.600 --> 00:03:51.300 So that way we can really maximize 56 00:03:51.760 --> 00:03:54.820 the value of time that we spend, in the webinar Wednesdays. 57 00:03:56.480 --> 00:03:58.020 Okay. Let's get into 58 00:03:58.480 --> 00:03:59.540 some fun stuff. 59 00:04:00.160 --> 00:04:01.700 Start with some simple stuff. 60 00:04:02.694 --> 00:04:06.155 Those of you that are running Google Ads on your site, 61 00:04:06.694 --> 00:04:09.594 the last couple months, Google has been aggressively 62 00:04:09.894 --> 00:04:13.674 emailing anyone that has Google AdSense on their sites 63 00:04:13.974 --> 00:04:17.274 that they need to update their ads dot t x t file. 64 00:04:17.819 --> 00:04:20.240 This was new to Brilliant Directories as well. 65 00:04:20.620 --> 00:04:22.220 If you've already done this, 66 00:04:22.620 --> 00:04:25.280 by emailing our support team and and we provided, 67 00:04:25.900 --> 00:04:28.400 some instructions when this was previously happening, 68 00:04:28.939 --> 00:04:34.194 you're totally fine. If you're not using Google Ads on your site, don't worry about it. 69 00:04:34.435 --> 00:04:42.675 If you just connected your site to Google Ads and you need to update your ads dot txt file, this can now be done within your design settings. 70 00:04:42.675 --> 00:04:44.535 I'm just gonna toggle over there, 71 00:04:44.914 --> 00:04:47.815 real quick, so everyone can see where this would be. 72 00:04:48.229 --> 00:04:51.050 It would be in settings and design settings. 73 00:04:55.350 --> 00:04:59.690 And from here, you can toggle over to the banner ad design section, 74 00:05:01.045 --> 00:05:12.600 and though there is an input box here, you can just copy and paste what Google is asking you to add to your site, and you can simply paste it into this box here, and save your changes, and you're done. 75 00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:17.500 Google basically just wants you to verify your site if when you're using Google AdSense. 76 00:05:18.520 --> 00:05:23.100 There was another method prior to this. If you've done that method, you're okay. 77 00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:25.980 If you're needing to do this now, then use this method. 78 00:05:28.365 --> 00:05:30.944 Another update to exporting members. We had one 79 00:05:31.405 --> 00:05:35.085 last webinar where any custom fields if you added, you know, 80 00:05:35.565 --> 00:05:37.425 if you wanted to export member data, 81 00:05:37.965 --> 00:05:41.164 you could definitely get the first name, company name, and phone number. 82 00:05:41.164 --> 00:05:42.784 But if you added new fields, 83 00:05:43.129 --> 00:05:47.550 you weren't able to export those fields. That was, last webinars update. 84 00:05:47.849 --> 00:05:49.550 And this webinar, you can also 85 00:05:50.009 --> 00:05:52.830 export the category names along with the members. 86 00:05:53.210 --> 00:05:59.465 The previous method was it would export the ID number of a a category, which honestly wasn't too helpful. 87 00:06:00.245 --> 00:06:01.545 So with the feedback, 88 00:06:01.925 --> 00:06:11.065 from you guys, we're now exporting members with the full information and not the category ID numbers, but with the actual category names. 89 00:06:11.940 --> 00:06:15.400 So that's a small update. I thought that was important to share. 90 00:06:16.180 --> 00:06:20.759 We have a bunch of new add ons on the way. We have two to demo, 91 00:06:21.220 --> 00:06:23.880 here, on the webinar with you guys today. 92 00:06:24.979 --> 00:06:26.360 And then also Blair, 93 00:06:27.135 --> 00:06:32.755 we we got you back here. The coupon codes are, for upgrading membership levels are underway. 94 00:06:33.055 --> 00:06:34.495 It's on our developers list. 95 00:06:35.055 --> 00:06:37.555 They're working on it. We hope to have that resolved, 96 00:06:37.855 --> 00:06:39.960 this month in in May for you. So, 97 00:06:40.520 --> 00:06:44.940 thank you again for your patience, with that with that update. We hope to have that, 98 00:06:45.479 --> 00:06:47.180 completed that, this May. 99 00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:49.979 So for the fun stuff, 100 00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:53.960 the Facebook website chat add on. That's a new add on that's coming. 101 00:06:53.960 --> 00:06:55.660 It's gonna allow you guys to chat 102 00:06:55.975 --> 00:06:57.675 with your website visitors 103 00:06:57.975 --> 00:07:01.035 through your Facebook page. So it kinda lets you get social, 104 00:07:01.415 --> 00:07:03.515 with a chat mechanism through your site. 105 00:07:03.735 --> 00:07:09.035 And then there's one, it's not necessarily for everyone, but it allows you to help generate more revenue, 106 00:07:09.415 --> 00:07:10.875 from ads on your site, 107 00:07:11.340 --> 00:07:14.080 with people who might be using ad blocking tools. 108 00:07:14.940 --> 00:07:19.360 But more about that, I'm gonna pass it over, to David Rocklin, 109 00:07:19.980 --> 00:07:27.245 to kinda show you how these two new add ons, work, and these should be released, later this month, 110 00:07:27.865 --> 00:07:29.245 latest by next month. 111 00:07:30.185 --> 00:07:36.205 So, David, I'll pass it on over to you, and thanks for thanks for demoing these on the on the webinar for us today. 112 00:07:37.840 --> 00:07:38.740 Thanks, Jason. 113 00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:41.780 Hope everyone's having a great and productive Wednesday. 114 00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:46.420 It's nice to be back on these webinars here to demo some of the new add ons for you. 115 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:48.820 So I figured we'd go over the ad block detector 116 00:07:49.280 --> 00:07:51.140 first. It's a pretty simple, 117 00:07:52.145 --> 00:07:52.885 add on. 118 00:07:53.345 --> 00:07:57.445 So this is, the first add on we'll be talking about. It's called the ad block detector. 119 00:07:57.665 --> 00:07:58.725 It's pretty simple. 120 00:08:00.305 --> 00:08:03.285 The basic gist of it is ad blocking 121 00:08:03.665 --> 00:08:05.205 plugins and software 122 00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:09.620 have been skyrocketing in popularity over the past several years. 123 00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:13.620 I myself am one who actually uses an ad block plugin. 124 00:08:15.039 --> 00:08:20.500 And this can hurt a lot of websites that rely heavily on generating ad revenue. 125 00:08:21.105 --> 00:08:24.245 As Jason mentioned, this add on isn't necessarily 126 00:08:24.705 --> 00:08:25.605 for everyone. 127 00:08:26.785 --> 00:08:30.885 If most of your revenue is generated from selling premium memberships, 128 00:08:31.505 --> 00:08:34.320 you probably won't want to enable this add on 129 00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:38.179 because, basically, what you'll be doing is you'll just be giving, 130 00:08:38.640 --> 00:08:41.220 or you'll be showing pop ups to your paying members, 131 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:48.105 who might be using an ad blocker. And that just and that just leads to some annoyance on their end. 132 00:08:48.584 --> 00:08:55.964 So, but if you do generate a lot of your revenue through ad, this would be a great add on to add to your website. 133 00:08:56.425 --> 00:09:02.925 So if we head on into the admin here, once you, once this website is out and if you have it enabled on your site, 134 00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:13.020 in the design settings of your admin and under the banner ad design tab in the design settings, you'll see a new section here titled ad blocker message. 135 00:09:13.560 --> 00:09:16.715 You can choose to enable it, disable it, and 136 00:09:17.095 --> 00:09:20.395 there's two settings for enabling it, which we'll go over. 137 00:09:21.095 --> 00:09:27.275 You can change the title of the pop up, the message in the pop up, as well as the text on the button. 138 00:09:27.800 --> 00:09:31.019 So if we head on over to this sample website here 139 00:09:31.800 --> 00:09:33.180 and I reload it, 140 00:09:33.560 --> 00:09:35.660 I have my ad blocker enabled, 141 00:09:36.040 --> 00:09:41.579 and you'll see that the website detects that I have my ad blocker enabled, and it pops up this message. 142 00:09:42.675 --> 00:09:46.455 Again, the title, the message, and the button text are all customizable. 143 00:09:46.755 --> 00:09:48.775 So whatever you wanna have there, you can. 144 00:09:49.715 --> 00:09:55.815 And, this is the notification mode. You'll see it right here, enable notification mode. 145 00:09:56.190 --> 00:10:02.290 So all this does is it provides me with the pop up. I can click, yes, I'll white list this website, 146 00:10:03.150 --> 00:10:07.970 and I have full access to the website. Now the ads are still being blocked because, 147 00:10:08.750 --> 00:10:10.610 I haven't disabled my ad blocker. 148 00:10:11.165 --> 00:10:11.665 However, 149 00:10:12.125 --> 00:10:13.185 with the other, 150 00:10:14.045 --> 00:10:14.944 enabled option, 151 00:10:15.324 --> 00:10:19.024 we can go ahead and choose that. That's called enable block content mode. 152 00:10:19.324 --> 00:10:24.625 And if we save these changes, when we refresh the site, that button will be gone. 153 00:10:24.630 --> 00:10:35.370 So we won't be able to dismiss the notification, which means in order to view the content on the website, we'll actually need to disable our ad blocker or at least add this website to our white list. 154 00:10:35.750 --> 00:10:37.450 So let me show you that right now. 155 00:10:39.125 --> 00:10:44.504 You'll see we got the pop up, and there's no button here. So there's no way for me to get out of it, 156 00:10:45.204 --> 00:10:47.384 and I can't scroll on the website either. 157 00:10:48.564 --> 00:10:51.625 So let me go ahead and pause my ad blocker 158 00:10:52.449 --> 00:10:53.910 and refresh the site, 159 00:10:55.889 --> 00:10:56.949 and you'll see 160 00:10:57.649 --> 00:11:01.350 that no pop up is displayed because my ad blocker is now enabled, 161 00:11:01.970 --> 00:11:02.470 disabled. 162 00:11:03.009 --> 00:11:05.430 So, again, a great add on for 163 00:11:05.925 --> 00:11:08.425 websites who generate a lot of the revenue through ads. 164 00:11:08.965 --> 00:11:11.545 If you don't really display too many ads on your website 165 00:11:11.925 --> 00:11:18.505 or you don't really care about the revenue you're generating because you're generating more revenue through selling memberships, 166 00:11:19.449 --> 00:11:22.589 then you probably don't need to worry about this add on. 167 00:11:24.089 --> 00:11:29.149 Moving on to the second new add on that will be coming soon. It's called the Facebook website chat. 168 00:11:30.170 --> 00:11:33.550 Basically, everybody is familiar with Facebook Messenger. 169 00:11:33.985 --> 00:11:34.805 Facebook has, 170 00:11:35.585 --> 00:11:39.685 I believe it's over a billion users now. Messenger is right up with that. 171 00:11:40.065 --> 00:11:42.565 And what this does is it allows you to integrate 172 00:11:43.345 --> 00:11:44.325 Facebook Messenger 173 00:11:44.705 --> 00:11:45.765 onto your website. 174 00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:56.580 Now a lot of us who run our own websites or especially run our own directories or membership sites, you probably have your own Facebook business page. 175 00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:00.154 It's basically a web page that has the, 176 00:12:00.795 --> 00:12:01.295 information 177 00:12:01.755 --> 00:12:02.255 about 178 00:12:03.274 --> 00:12:07.295 your your business. So here's just a sample one. It's called design showdown. 179 00:12:07.995 --> 00:12:12.575 You know, you have your about date, about page. You can post updates to your followers, 180 00:12:13.195 --> 00:12:14.495 all that sort of stuff. 181 00:12:15.670 --> 00:12:18.649 So if we head back over to our sample website here, 182 00:12:19.110 --> 00:12:24.570 you'll see down here in the bottom right hand corner, there's an icon for Facebook Messenger. 183 00:12:25.829 --> 00:12:27.850 Now you'll see here we already got a sample, 184 00:12:28.709 --> 00:12:29.930 conversation going, 185 00:12:30.495 --> 00:12:34.195 but let's pretend I'm a brand new visitor to this website. 186 00:12:34.655 --> 00:12:35.615 I see this, 187 00:12:36.015 --> 00:12:37.395 chat bubble pop up, 188 00:12:37.775 --> 00:12:41.795 and I need some help. I wanna join this website, but I'm not sure where to go. 189 00:12:42.175 --> 00:12:46.380 I can type in whatever I want. So let's say, hi. I need some help joining. 190 00:12:48.040 --> 00:12:49.660 Go ahead and send that off. 191 00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:51.820 And 192 00:12:52.760 --> 00:12:55.100 here in Facebook Messenger, 193 00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:59.275 that this is what you would see when you're the manager of your Facebook page. 194 00:12:59.735 --> 00:13:01.115 You see that that Messenger 195 00:13:01.495 --> 00:13:02.795 chat box is connected. 196 00:13:03.335 --> 00:13:04.875 And so we see this guest's 197 00:13:05.175 --> 00:13:09.515 this visitor's message here, and we can go ahead and reply. And we can say, 198 00:13:10.695 --> 00:13:12.635 thanks for your interest. 199 00:13:14.270 --> 00:13:21.490 Here's the link to join, and we can go ahead and provide a a a link to for them to join our website. 200 00:13:21.550 --> 00:13:23.010 So when we send that over, 201 00:13:24.030 --> 00:13:25.725 we go back to the page. 202 00:13:26.285 --> 00:13:31.805 You'll see that our message is now sent to the visitor. So I have a question here, David. 203 00:13:31.805 --> 00:13:33.264 Sorry to interrupt. Alright. 204 00:13:34.285 --> 00:13:40.065 So you need to have a Facebook company page or whatever for this to work, and and you and you connect this chat 205 00:13:40.410 --> 00:13:42.029 to your company page. 206 00:13:42.649 --> 00:13:46.670 Correct. So let's go ahead and go into our admin 207 00:13:47.370 --> 00:13:52.430 panel of our Brilliant Directories website. If you have this add on enabled on your site, 208 00:13:52.865 --> 00:13:54.004 go head into settings, 209 00:13:54.464 --> 00:13:57.444 general settings, and over into the integrations tab. 210 00:13:57.904 --> 00:14:01.285 At the very bottom, you'll see a new section called Facebook Messenger, 211 00:14:01.745 --> 00:14:06.600 where you can go ahead and paste in your Facebook page ID and you can choose to enable or disable it. 212 00:14:07.560 --> 00:14:09.740 Now to get your Facebook page ID, 213 00:14:10.680 --> 00:14:12.540 you'll need to go into the settings 214 00:14:13.319 --> 00:14:14.300 of your Facebook's 215 00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:16.459 of your Facebook business page. 216 00:14:17.959 --> 00:14:18.779 In here 217 00:14:19.455 --> 00:14:22.435 or, actually sorry about that. You'll go to 218 00:14:23.615 --> 00:14:24.115 about. 219 00:14:26.335 --> 00:14:32.355 And at the very bottom or near the bottom, you'll see a string of numbers, and that's your page ID. 220 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:37.820 All you need to do there's only two steps. First step is to copy this page ID 221 00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:39.420 and paste it 222 00:14:39.800 --> 00:14:45.180 into this field here in your website's admin panel. You could save those changes. 223 00:14:45.640 --> 00:14:47.020 And then the second step 224 00:14:47.795 --> 00:14:48.695 is to, 225 00:14:50.195 --> 00:14:52.375 white list our website's domain 226 00:14:53.154 --> 00:14:54.295 inside of Facebook. 227 00:14:54.675 --> 00:15:00.855 To do that, when we're on our business page here, we just go into settings here in the upper right hand corner. 228 00:15:01.680 --> 00:15:05.780 We click on Messenger platform over here in the left hand sidebar, 229 00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:09.860 and you'll see a section called whitelisted domains. 230 00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:16.900 You just go ahead and copy and paste in your website's domain here into the section. You click save, 231 00:15:17.365 --> 00:15:20.025 and that's literally all there is to it. It's just two steps. 232 00:15:20.085 --> 00:15:22.605 And once you do that, you will have the, 233 00:15:23.045 --> 00:15:24.905 Facebook Messenger box 234 00:15:25.365 --> 00:15:26.585 pop up on your website. 235 00:15:26.725 --> 00:15:31.385 So So you'll be able to start communicating with website visitors, and they can communicate with you. 236 00:15:31.445 --> 00:15:31.945 And 237 00:15:32.579 --> 00:15:39.480 is there is there an app so if you're on the go, you can chat with visitors that are on your website while you're out and about? 238 00:15:40.740 --> 00:15:41.240 Definitely. 239 00:15:41.540 --> 00:15:49.715 So for a normal visitor, they can chat with you on their mobile device just through the regular Facebook Messenger application, which 240 00:15:50.175 --> 00:15:51.315 most people have. 241 00:15:51.855 --> 00:15:56.035 For you, the website admin and the the page manager, 242 00:15:56.415 --> 00:15:59.075 you'll wanna download the Facebook pages manager 243 00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:03.180 application. They have this for both iOS, for Apple devices, 244 00:16:03.800 --> 00:16:05.660 as well as Android devices. 245 00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:08.140 And from this application, 246 00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:14.380 there's a a page inside of it where you can communicate through that messages 247 00:16:14.745 --> 00:16:17.385 feature. Love it. So this last screenshot right here. 248 00:16:17.385 --> 00:16:23.325 So if you're on the go, if someone's visiting your website, you'll instantly get notified on your phone if someone wants to chat with you. 249 00:16:24.185 --> 00:16:28.765 Exactly. And let's say, you're going out of town for a week, 250 00:16:29.379 --> 00:16:34.339 you can go right back into your website settings and choose to disable the Facebook chat feature. 251 00:16:34.339 --> 00:16:36.439 That way, it won't show up on the website, 252 00:16:36.740 --> 00:16:38.920 and visitors won't be able to send you messages. 253 00:16:38.980 --> 00:16:41.560 That way, you'll have free time if you're on vacation, 254 00:16:42.084 --> 00:16:43.845 things like that. Perfect. 255 00:16:43.845 --> 00:16:49.545 I really like this because I know there's a ton of free and and paid tools to get chat, 256 00:16:50.084 --> 00:16:52.425 on your site. I think this is the 257 00:16:53.285 --> 00:16:54.265 least invasive 258 00:16:54.690 --> 00:16:58.230 method, once once it's available to get some sort of chatting 259 00:16:58.770 --> 00:16:59.730 tool, on your site. 260 00:16:59.730 --> 00:17:07.170 And without using an you know, you you probably do have a Facebook account, but using a new third party service to to manage chatting. 261 00:17:07.410 --> 00:17:11.075 So this is really great, David. Thanks for showing this. Yeah. Definitely. There's, 262 00:17:11.475 --> 00:17:14.455 three main features that I wanted to mention with this add on. 263 00:17:14.515 --> 00:17:16.535 One is that it's just through Facebook. 264 00:17:16.675 --> 00:17:21.015 Like we've been mentioning, most people have a Facebook account. They're familiar with the platform. 265 00:17:21.555 --> 00:17:25.530 It's not anything new, for people to to figure out how to use. 266 00:17:26.090 --> 00:17:28.510 And the last two major benefits 267 00:17:29.130 --> 00:17:31.390 are that because it's through Facebook Messenger, 268 00:17:32.250 --> 00:17:34.750 both you and your website visitor 269 00:17:35.130 --> 00:17:36.590 can carry on this conversation 270 00:17:37.050 --> 00:17:38.190 wherever you are. 271 00:17:38.625 --> 00:17:40.405 We already went over the mobile apps. 272 00:17:40.865 --> 00:17:47.365 You can carry on the conversation directly through Facebook, or you can, have the conversation right here on your website. 273 00:17:48.305 --> 00:17:49.845 And the last benefit 274 00:17:50.305 --> 00:17:52.360 is that, say, somebody quickly, 275 00:17:53.300 --> 00:17:54.200 leaves your website. 276 00:17:55.140 --> 00:18:03.320 Typically, if if you're just chatting with them in a third party chat software, you might not have had time to follow-up with them, grab their contact information, 277 00:18:04.125 --> 00:18:07.265 and that way you can carry on the conversation at a later time. 278 00:18:07.645 --> 00:18:10.145 Because this is all through Facebook and Facebook Messenger, 279 00:18:10.765 --> 00:18:11.825 all of your chat 280 00:18:12.205 --> 00:18:16.945 history is saved inside of your Facebook account. So it's super easy to follow 281 00:18:17.460 --> 00:18:20.200 with, people you've been chatting with on your website. 282 00:18:21.220 --> 00:18:22.260 That's that's great. 283 00:18:22.260 --> 00:18:27.480 You can, you know, you can send tasteful things to maybe get them re reinterested in in your in your website. 284 00:18:28.100 --> 00:18:28.600 Exactly. 285 00:18:29.655 --> 00:18:31.755 Awesome. Wow. And I know we have a 286 00:18:32.055 --> 00:18:35.975 bunch of other things in the lineup for for add ons, but I think these two are are pretty good. 287 00:18:35.975 --> 00:18:41.515 The ad blocker one is really good. If you do, you know, a lot of people do rely on on ad revenue, 288 00:18:41.929 --> 00:18:44.650 and a lot of people are using ad blockers these days. 289 00:18:44.650 --> 00:18:49.390 And I've actually seen this, around the web, so it's it's starting to become more common. 290 00:18:49.850 --> 00:18:52.910 So glad we can offer this, to the people that might need it. 291 00:18:54.169 --> 00:18:58.985 Yeah. We have some statistics also on both of these detail pages if anyone's interested. 292 00:19:00.005 --> 00:19:02.745 Over 600,000,000 people are now using ad blockers. 293 00:19:03.045 --> 00:19:05.285 Wow. And, we also have, 294 00:19:05.685 --> 00:19:06.505 some statistics 295 00:19:06.885 --> 00:19:07.945 on how beneficial 296 00:19:08.485 --> 00:19:11.125 having a live chat is on your website in terms of, 297 00:19:11.605 --> 00:19:12.105 converting 298 00:19:13.100 --> 00:19:15.120 visitors into actual customers. 299 00:19:15.500 --> 00:19:16.380 Yeah. And you know what? 300 00:19:16.380 --> 00:19:23.040 What's also good about this Facebook, there there comes a point where you might need a paid chat solution that has more robust features. 301 00:19:23.340 --> 00:19:27.040 This is a great entry level chat solution for for your website. 302 00:19:28.595 --> 00:19:29.335 For sure. 303 00:19:30.195 --> 00:19:32.615 Alright, David.

So generally, that that content will really appeal, 352 00:22:30.535 --> 00:22:37.870 to something to to someone or or some company in a certain industry about information that is going to benefit them. 353 00:22:37.929 --> 00:22:45.789 And that takes us to number three is, the information that you're offering should actually solve a real problem or at least provide actionable steps 354 00:22:46.250 --> 00:22:47.950 or insight into how, 355 00:22:48.650 --> 00:22:51.789 your information will better their lives, better their businesses, 356 00:22:52.455 --> 00:22:55.035 improve improve something for them somehow. 357 00:22:56.294 --> 00:23:00.054 And also lead magnets are a really great way to build your brand. 358 00:23:00.054 --> 00:23:02.235 Because if you're the company that's creating 359 00:23:02.775 --> 00:23:05.035 these lead magnets that that provide 360 00:23:05.760 --> 00:23:08.100 authoritative knowledge in a certain industry. 361 00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:12.500 It could be, again, like I mentioned, for moms and dads, it could be how to climb the corporate ladder. 362 00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:16.660 It could be about anything. But if your brand is the one providing that information, 363 00:23:17.360 --> 00:23:18.820 it increases your credibility, 364 00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:20.580 trust, and authority 365 00:23:20.995 --> 00:23:21.735 within your 366 00:23:22.115 --> 00:23:25.654 industry. And also the lead magnet creates shareable content. 367 00:23:26.115 --> 00:23:32.455 So let's say I get an ebook and I love it, I might forward that ebook to my friends or colleagues. 368 00:23:32.835 --> 00:23:38.379 And granted, maybe they didn't download the ebook themselves, but my brand is now being shared 369 00:23:38.840 --> 00:23:43.019 amongst people in the industry who's it who's who I want my brand to have visibility, 370 00:23:43.960 --> 00:23:44.779 in for. 371 00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:45.740 So, 372 00:23:46.600 --> 00:23:53.815 there's lots of benefits for a lead magnet, but in the end, it's helping drive more prospects to your company and your brand. 373 00:23:57.394 --> 00:23:59.095 And examples of lead magnets, 374 00:23:59.475 --> 00:24:01.015 again, ebook downloads, 375 00:24:01.360 --> 00:24:07.779 even just signing up to our a newsletter, you know, you'll you see things like sign up to our newsletter to receive 376 00:24:08.080 --> 00:24:10.179 tips and tips and tips and strategies 377 00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:12.179 on x, y, and z topics. 378 00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:13.700 Those are lead magnets. 379 00:24:14.320 --> 00:24:15.620 Free how to guides, 380 00:24:16.225 --> 00:24:22.144 you know, how to save twenty minutes, you know, doing your taxes, you know, how to do your taxes in less than twenty minutes. 381 00:24:22.144 --> 00:24:27.764 Those are the kind of things that, you know, people will trade information to get to, receive information. 382 00:24:28.559 --> 00:24:33.140 Other things are like top secret tips, free cheat sheets, stuff like that. 383 00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:41.220 And I just put some examples of images there, and there are ways to create these types of images where it looks like a book cover, 384 00:24:42.044 --> 00:24:49.024 even though people are just probably gonna get a list of text as as the end result, you can use these to entice people 385 00:24:49.404 --> 00:24:53.904 to to make your landing pages look more appealing with your lead magnets. 386 00:24:57.419 --> 00:24:59.360 And here are some reasons, 387 00:25:00.460 --> 00:25:02.080 you might need a lead magnet. 388 00:25:02.860 --> 00:25:07.500 And in my in my opinion, I think everyone should at least have one lead magnet. 389 00:25:07.500 --> 00:25:12.205 I don't think there's if you need a lead magnet, there's no reason why you shouldn't. They're proven 390 00:25:12.985 --> 00:25:16.365 to, help you generate more more leads through your website. 391 00:25:17.145 --> 00:25:22.470 But if you need some more reasons, you might need a lead magnet if members are not joining your site. 392 00:25:23.510 --> 00:25:26.809 If you don't have much to offer people besides the membership, 393 00:25:27.190 --> 00:25:29.669 and that's not really enticing them to join, 394 00:25:29.990 --> 00:25:31.850 your website or join your community. 395 00:25:32.549 --> 00:25:36.169 If you want to show that your brand is a leader within an industry, 396 00:25:36.485 --> 00:25:38.745 you'll probably want to create a lead magnet. 397 00:25:40.325 --> 00:25:44.665 If you're marketing your website and it's not leading to sign ups, 398 00:25:45.045 --> 00:25:48.345 again, maybe people just don't trust your brand. You need to demonstrate 399 00:25:48.645 --> 00:25:49.945 some level of authority 400 00:25:50.325 --> 00:25:50.825 to 401 00:25:51.220 --> 00:25:54.200 push people to the next step of signing up. 402 00:25:54.500 --> 00:26:00.680 So it helps you create, again, a compelling offer, which is what we talked about in the previous webinar, but it it helps create 403 00:26:01.940 --> 00:26:04.040 credibility and trust and authority. 404 00:26:05.205 --> 00:26:08.325 But also maybe people aren't ready to sign up today. 405 00:26:08.325 --> 00:26:12.585 Maybe they would just wanna get their feet wet with something, you know, easy, 406 00:26:13.125 --> 00:26:18.105 with that doesn't require their credit card. And it could be a free membership sign up. 407 00:26:18.360 --> 00:26:22.140 On the other hand, it could be a lead magnet, a free how to guide instead. 408 00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:25.340 Either way, if it's a free membership sign up 409 00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:27.580 or a free lead magnet download, 410 00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:30.140 you have now collected their email address, 411 00:26:30.544 --> 00:26:37.605 and you can start marketing to them in the future and potentially sign them up to being a paid member of your site. 412 00:26:38.544 --> 00:26:47.669 And also lead magnets help your community grow faster, again, because they do definitely assist you, with growing your email list, and that definitely, 413 00:26:48.289 --> 00:26:52.230 will help to grow your community of people who that actually want to participate. 414 00:26:53.330 --> 00:26:54.769 So, here's the fun part. 415 00:26:54.769 --> 00:27:02.095 We're gonna try to build a lead magnet in just about five minutes, probably a little bit more because we'll do some explaining around the the things that we're doing. 416 00:27:02.554 --> 00:27:06.495 But Patrick and Gabe were were both nice enough to to spend some time, 417 00:27:07.034 --> 00:27:08.654 before the webinar to, 418 00:27:09.034 --> 00:27:10.095 follow these steps 419 00:27:10.620 --> 00:27:15.200 for creating a lead magnet. And, Pat, I'll pass it over to you if you wanna go through steps, 420 00:27:15.500 --> 00:27:19.200 one through three, and, let me know when you're ready for me to pass the, 421 00:27:20.140 --> 00:27:21.760 the presentation back to you. 422 00:27:22.595 --> 00:27:25.575 I am unmuted. Thank you, Jason. Very good presentation. 423 00:27:25.955 --> 00:27:30.135 And, I think maybe that the only thing I'd add on top of that is that a lead magnet 424 00:27:30.595 --> 00:27:33.415 is a great tool to bring people to the website. 425 00:27:33.955 --> 00:27:41.310 So if you do a Facebook advertisement and you just say sign up for my website and they don't know who you are, they're at the awareness stage. 426 00:27:41.310 --> 00:27:43.230 It's unlikely they're gonna come to your website. 427 00:27:43.230 --> 00:27:54.045 But if you're giving them an amazing product that they can get for free, that's a great way to attract people that haven't heard from you before to come to your website and and learn about you and hopefully 428 00:27:54.425 --> 00:27:56.445 download the the the the asset. 429 00:27:56.505 --> 00:27:59.885 And then hopefully from there, you can nurture them to to becoming a member. 430 00:28:00.505 --> 00:28:02.125 Yep. Well said. Well said. 431 00:28:02.600 --> 00:28:04.120 Alright. I'm ready to go. Alright. 432 00:28:04.120 --> 00:28:08.140 I'm gonna pass over the controls to you, Pat, and let you take it away. 433 00:28:10.040 --> 00:28:15.660 Alright. Great. So what we did here is we just spent a couple of minutes putting this page together. 434 00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:16.460 Gabriel 435 00:28:16.760 --> 00:28:17.820 is going to 436 00:28:18.365 --> 00:28:24.225 share the link in the chat, so everybody that wants to get the code for this page is gonna be able to get it. 437 00:28:24.525 --> 00:28:29.025 But what we did is we we thought about putting something together that 438 00:28:29.405 --> 00:28:33.350 identifies the problem. We've we've we've covered that in the previous webinar. 439 00:28:33.350 --> 00:28:37.990 So are you tired of kicking the can down the road instead of working to get some some new customers? 440 00:28:37.990 --> 00:28:42.330 So ideally, an interior designer would be able to identify with that. 441 00:28:42.549 --> 00:28:44.330 And then since these are directories, 442 00:28:44.705 --> 00:28:48.645 something that people are very interested in is that you're the holder of information. 443 00:28:49.025 --> 00:28:52.325 So in this case, it's an interior design industry directory. 444 00:28:52.625 --> 00:28:54.165 So what we're telling the public 445 00:28:54.545 --> 00:28:58.485 is that we pulled 500 interior designers and they told us their secrets. 446 00:28:59.000 --> 00:29:01.820 And you can get access to those secrets if you want, 447 00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:04.460 if you wanna download that right now. 448 00:29:04.920 --> 00:29:08.620 We went in here. We put in a testimonial, a quote from one of the members, 449 00:29:09.320 --> 00:29:12.300 and that builds confidence during the process. 450 00:29:13.144 --> 00:29:15.225 We let people know what they can expect. 451 00:29:15.225 --> 00:29:18.605 So we give them some ideas of things that they're gonna see in the ebook. 452 00:29:18.825 --> 00:29:25.725 So that's the bullet list that we have at the bottom so that they know that they get free tools and websites even though they're on a tight budget. 453 00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:30.860 I always like putting a point on a tight budget because I feel that people are coming from the outside. 454 00:29:31.320 --> 00:29:35.400 One of the fears that they have is that you're gonna be selling them something that's outside of their budget. 455 00:29:35.400 --> 00:29:42.145 So I always like to let them know that even if you're on a tight budget, this is gonna be a helpful resource for you. 456 00:29:42.445 --> 00:29:47.825 We let them know they're gonna get special offers, and I always like to tell them they're gonna get live examples. 457 00:29:48.285 --> 00:29:50.445 So it's not just gonna be theory. 458 00:29:50.445 --> 00:29:55.425 I'm gonna show you what people are doing right now to bring in new customers in your industry. 459 00:29:55.890 --> 00:29:58.150 So, hopefully, the carrot is big enough 460 00:29:58.450 --> 00:30:01.430 that they're gonna say all of that insider information. 461 00:30:02.130 --> 00:30:04.070 And the problem that they're resolving, 462 00:30:04.850 --> 00:30:06.870 that is worth me giving them 463 00:30:07.170 --> 00:30:11.030 my email. And that's basically the sale that you're making. Are you providing 464 00:30:11.655 --> 00:30:12.555 enough value 465 00:30:13.015 --> 00:30:15.495 for somebody from the outside to wanna give you their email? 466 00:30:15.495 --> 00:30:20.295 Because they're well aware that you'll be reaching out to them at a later date and you're likely going to nurture them. 467 00:30:20.295 --> 00:30:23.115 So that's the challenge of of creating that that lead magnet. 468 00:30:25.860 --> 00:30:33.720 And and the incentives and benefits that you guys come up with, it's gonna be different from industry to industry, and it'll probably have to match 469 00:30:34.179 --> 00:30:39.155 what you're offering on the other side of of providing the email address or or whatever information. 470 00:30:39.215 --> 00:30:42.095 So I think this is a great boiler plate model. 471 00:30:42.095 --> 00:30:45.395 We've all seen similar pages like this probably gathering more information. 472 00:30:46.495 --> 00:30:51.155 But, yeah, Pat, this this is a great great starting landing page, to work off of. 473 00:30:51.790 --> 00:30:57.870 So one of the technical aspects that we had to do is we had to create a custom form and embed it on this page. 474 00:30:57.870 --> 00:31:02.450 And what I'd like to show everybody is how we went ahead and did this and the steps that we followed. 475 00:31:04.865 --> 00:31:08.404 So we'll go into the dashboard of this particular website, 476 00:31:09.424 --> 00:31:10.164 and then 477 00:31:10.465 --> 00:31:15.365 everybody has access to the form manager. So that's what we did. We went into the form manager. 478 00:31:17.900 --> 00:31:20.560 And from here, what we looked for and I always recommend 479 00:31:21.100 --> 00:31:25.120 using this form this form if you're going to be creating a custom, 480 00:31:25.660 --> 00:31:29.120 lead magnet form. We always use the contact us form. 481 00:31:29.255 --> 00:31:32.875 The reason why is that this form has functionality that lets you control 482 00:31:33.255 --> 00:31:37.575 what email goes out or what page someone goes to after they completed a form. 483 00:31:37.575 --> 00:31:41.675 In this example, what we did is we control what page they go to after submission. 484 00:31:41.735 --> 00:31:45.970 So, we're gonna go ahead and click on edit for the contact us form. 485 00:31:48.910 --> 00:31:57.095 And then a really cool feature that billing directories has is in the actions tab on the right, we have the ability to clone that form. 486 00:31:57.095 --> 00:31:58.955 So what we did is we clicked on clone, 487 00:32:01.335 --> 00:32:03.835 and then we just gave it a unique name 488 00:32:10.620 --> 00:32:11.920 and the unique variable. 489 00:32:12.220 --> 00:32:16.700 So that's basically all we had to do in order to copy that form. 490 00:32:16.700 --> 00:32:18.800 So we're gonna go ahead and we're gonna save it. 491 00:32:19.900 --> 00:32:23.600 And now we can see we have an exact copy of the contact us form. 492 00:32:23.945 --> 00:32:27.965 This allows us to customize what we wanna collect so we can, 493 00:32:28.345 --> 00:32:34.285 ask them for additional information or in this case what we did, if you notice our form, was we got rid of everything. 494 00:32:34.745 --> 00:32:36.445 There's a study that ASINICELY 495 00:32:36.745 --> 00:32:40.360 came out with and they said about you lose about 50% 496 00:32:40.360 --> 00:32:43.560 of submissions for every additional field that you ask for. 497 00:32:43.560 --> 00:32:48.840 So if you have a form of two fields instead of just one, you're gonna get about half the people submitting that. 498 00:32:48.840 --> 00:32:54.105 So you really have to be careful what information you're asking for in exchange for what you're trying to sell them. 499 00:32:54.105 --> 00:32:59.885 So in this case, what we did is we just hid the the phone number field and the enter message field. 500 00:33:01.945 --> 00:33:04.445 And there's a field, as you can see, that is hidden. 501 00:33:04.940 --> 00:33:10.000 I always like choosing hidden instead of deleting in case I choose to bring it back at a later time. 502 00:33:10.460 --> 00:33:12.620 And then we also hit the name. 503 00:33:12.620 --> 00:33:16.140 So the only thing that we're collecting is the email and the send message. 504 00:33:16.140 --> 00:33:18.160 So we're gonna go ahead and and save that. 505 00:33:25.015 --> 00:33:27.755 And then what we're gonna do is we're gonna fill up this form, 506 00:33:34.010 --> 00:33:35.630 And we're gonna see what happens. 507 00:33:38.650 --> 00:33:42.830 So fantastic. What happened is we got redirected to what's called a thank you page. 508 00:33:43.370 --> 00:33:47.150 So what we what what what we had to do in the form is we had to go to actions. 509 00:33:47.475 --> 00:33:59.635 We have to edit the form settings because we're gonna have to tell the form when somebody submits this form, I want them to go to this specific page where they're going to be able to download the lead magnet that you just created. 510 00:33:59.635 --> 00:34:00.294 So, Pat, 511 00:34:00.610 --> 00:34:02.389 you you've created two pages. 512 00:34:02.929 --> 00:34:05.909 We'll call this the thank you page or the success page, 513 00:34:06.610 --> 00:34:10.630 and you created the lead magnet page, which is where the 514 00:34:11.089 --> 00:34:13.589 the form is for people to put in their email address. 515 00:34:14.925 --> 00:34:16.605 That is correct. That is correct. 516 00:34:16.605 --> 00:34:22.864 So what I need to do now is I need to tell the form after somebody gives me their email, I want them to be redirected 517 00:34:23.165 --> 00:34:25.105 to the thank you page that I created, 518 00:34:25.485 --> 00:34:29.344 which is where the public's able to download this particular, guide. 519 00:34:30.069 --> 00:34:30.569 Gotcha. 520 00:34:32.069 --> 00:34:32.569 And 521 00:34:33.109 --> 00:34:34.489 and how do you do that? 522 00:34:35.349 --> 00:34:38.569 Alright. So we go to actions. We'll edit the form settings. 523 00:34:39.989 --> 00:34:41.770 Save actions. Save action. 524 00:34:42.225 --> 00:34:44.545 There are different options that you can choose. 525 00:34:44.545 --> 00:34:47.205 In this case, what we're gonna do is we're gonna say we want 526 00:34:47.585 --> 00:34:50.085 the user to be redirected to URL 527 00:34:50.465 --> 00:34:52.245 after they complete the form. 528 00:34:52.545 --> 00:34:56.005 And then all we need to do is put in the redirect 529 00:34:56.305 --> 00:34:56.805 URL. 530 00:34:57.410 --> 00:34:59.030 Whoops. It has to be the entire 531 00:34:59.330 --> 00:35:00.390 URL. My apologies. 532 00:35:01.490 --> 00:35:05.030 We'll put in the redirect URL. And then when we save this form, 533 00:35:05.410 --> 00:35:10.710 now people that complete that custom form are going to be instantly redirected to the thank you page. 534 00:35:11.605 --> 00:35:12.105 Got 535 00:35:12.565 --> 00:35:14.905 it. So you created a new form and you created 536 00:35:15.765 --> 00:35:17.705 the landing page and the thank you page. 537 00:35:18.485 --> 00:35:23.065 Correct. So we went ahead and created this specific page, and then we created the thank you page. 538 00:35:23.125 --> 00:35:26.010 Alright. So this is the lead magnet page, the lead capture page. 539 00:35:26.090 --> 00:35:29.230 I'm gonna throw a curve ball at you, Patrick. We didn't plan this. 540 00:35:29.690 --> 00:35:34.410 So you have this lead magnet page. How do you get people to this page in the first place now? 541 00:35:34.410 --> 00:35:36.750 What would you do to get people to this page? 542 00:35:38.545 --> 00:35:39.365 What I would 543 00:35:40.545 --> 00:35:46.085 do is I would go to Facebook. I would go to one of my pages, and then I would 544 00:35:46.385 --> 00:35:49.445 embed that thank you page. And then I would, 545 00:35:49.905 --> 00:35:51.365 run up a an advertisement 546 00:35:51.665 --> 00:35:54.770 to to try to drive traffic to that thank you page. And you would target 547 00:35:55.070 --> 00:35:56.930 you would target people that you want 548 00:35:57.470 --> 00:35:59.570 you want to using Facebook ads? 549 00:36:00.430 --> 00:36:03.710 Specific exactly that. I would go in and I would create a custom audience. 550 00:36:03.710 --> 00:36:12.055 I'd probably already have a custom audience, and I would be specifically targeting interior designers in the specific areas that I'd like to have them sign up. 551 00:36:12.195 --> 00:36:13.815 Gotcha. And what if people 552 00:36:14.275 --> 00:36:14.775 people's, 553 00:36:15.315 --> 00:36:17.735 members or potential members are not on Facebook? 554 00:36:18.275 --> 00:36:20.695 What if where what would you do then? 555 00:36:22.650 --> 00:36:25.130 Well, you could there's multiple avenues for promoting. 556 00:36:25.130 --> 00:36:27.930 You could go on other on other Facebook groups. 557 00:36:27.930 --> 00:36:30.970 You can go in LinkedIn, which is a great resource as well. 558 00:36:30.970 --> 00:36:33.390 There's a lot of strategy groups on LinkedIn. 559 00:36:34.475 --> 00:36:37.515 Something like this, that's another thing that we didn't discuss, is a lead magnet. 560 00:36:37.515 --> 00:36:44.095 If it's really of high value, you can go into LinkedIn into a group where interior designers are discussing strategies, 561 00:36:44.395 --> 00:36:45.355 and you can tell them, hey. 562 00:36:45.355 --> 00:36:50.310 I found this amazing resource and share it with them, and that's another way to bring people to your site. 563 00:36:51.190 --> 00:36:51.690 Excellent. 564 00:36:52.550 --> 00:36:53.050 Excellent. 565 00:36:53.350 --> 00:36:58.310 So So something here that people might be wondering is how did I get this to to display? 566 00:36:58.310 --> 00:37:02.810 So this is the this is promoting what the what the download is for. 567 00:37:03.110 --> 00:37:05.770 And what so what we did there is 568 00:37:07.235 --> 00:37:08.295 in the actual 569 00:37:08.835 --> 00:37:10.375 web page that we created, 570 00:37:11.075 --> 00:37:12.855 and we don't cover this very often, 571 00:37:13.235 --> 00:37:15.735 here's the ebook landing page that we created. 572 00:37:16.275 --> 00:37:17.575 We'll click on edit. 573 00:37:18.440 --> 00:37:23.240 And if you scroll to the bottom, you'll see that there is the social media sharing details. 574 00:37:23.240 --> 00:37:26.040 I know that comes up sometimes when people ask, hey. 575 00:37:26.040 --> 00:37:28.860 Why is the title not reflecting what my page is about? 576 00:37:28.920 --> 00:37:32.300 So if you ever wanna control what people see when you actually 577 00:37:32.724 --> 00:37:36.645 post the link from your website, then then that's the place to do it right over here. 578 00:37:36.645 --> 00:37:39.204 And that's what's matching what you see on the front end. 579 00:37:39.204 --> 00:37:44.425 Title, description, and you can designate an image from your website to use as well, I see there. 580 00:37:45.039 --> 00:37:45.359 Correct. 581 00:37:45.359 --> 00:37:53.940 You can you can you can control as long as it's the right size, you can control what image is getting pulled, and then you can go in and you can give a custom description as well. 582 00:37:54.319 --> 00:37:54.819 Awesome. 583 00:37:56.880 --> 00:37:59.619 I love it. Love it. So just a little bit of setup, 584 00:38:00.705 --> 00:38:01.425 but nothing, 585 00:38:01.825 --> 00:38:06.005 nothing too complicated here. So I like that you kept it simple with this example. 586 00:38:07.025 --> 00:38:11.365 And and what I usually recommend on a thank you page is it's a great opportunity 587 00:38:11.665 --> 00:38:13.680 to sell a membership at this point. 588 00:38:13.760 --> 00:38:17.520 Because what you've done is you've proven that you're an expert in the industry. You say, hey. 589 00:38:17.520 --> 00:38:19.780 Here's your free resource. We hope it's helpful. 590 00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:23.599 By the way, did you know that you you can get a free website audit? 591 00:38:23.599 --> 00:38:26.319 Or did you know that you can book a marketing consultation with us? 592 00:38:26.319 --> 00:38:32.515 Or did you know that you can get a thirty day free trial, and signing up today and promoting and getting more customers? 593 00:38:32.734 --> 00:38:38.835 So this thank you page is is a great opportunity to start selling because you've given them something and they're in a better mindset 594 00:38:39.135 --> 00:38:39.795 to potentially, 595 00:38:40.575 --> 00:38:41.715 purchase from you. 596 00:38:42.730 --> 00:38:45.770 Right. And and now you've done something exciting for them also. 597 00:38:45.770 --> 00:38:50.910 You've given them some really amazing information that, you know, that should get them excited, actually. 598 00:38:52.890 --> 00:38:53.870 That's the idea. 599 00:38:55.095 --> 00:39:00.155 Alright. Thank you. Thank you, Patrick. So again, guys, what we're showing is more conceptual, 600 00:39:01.175 --> 00:39:16.290 than you this will all you know, the actual text and images that you see here will be different, but the concept of creating two pages and creating a form that people need to fill out, you can do that all with your with your Brilliant Directories website with just a little bit of of setup and help. 601 00:39:17.150 --> 00:39:19.970 Alright, Pat. I'm gonna grab the controls back over here. 602 00:39:21.230 --> 00:39:23.890 Alright. Great stuff so far in the webinar. 603 00:39:24.435 --> 00:39:26.535 And now we'll get to the fun stuff. 604 00:39:27.235 --> 00:39:27.735 Taking, 605 00:39:28.835 --> 00:39:30.995 some website examples from you guys. 606 00:39:30.995 --> 00:39:37.415 And and, Jason, I I already see a couple of questions where people are asking what's the format that we used for the download the ebook 607 00:39:37.780 --> 00:39:40.280 button, the call to action on the thank you page. 608 00:39:40.900 --> 00:39:47.000 So we didn't act we didn't actually download we didn't create one for this particular webinar, but for that live example, 609 00:39:47.460 --> 00:39:48.340 I did upload, 610 00:39:48.660 --> 00:39:50.900 one that I use on one of my personal websites. 611 00:39:50.900 --> 00:39:55.225 And all you need to do is you upload the PDF to your file manager, 612 00:39:55.685 --> 00:39:56.485 and then you can link. 613 00:39:56.485 --> 00:40:00.885 So I actually shared the link that I used in that particular example in the chat. 614 00:40:00.885 --> 00:40:05.625 So when you click on that link, it's gonna open up in a new tab, and then people are able to view that PDF. 615 00:40:05.925 --> 00:40:07.545 So it's very simple to spell. 616 00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:13.260 I have an even simpler idea, actually, just because in for the sake of keeping things simple for everyone, 617 00:40:13.720 --> 00:40:19.180 instead of even going through the trouble of creating a PDF, which it is might be too complicated, 618 00:40:19.560 --> 00:40:21.500 for some, who are just getting started. 619 00:40:21.880 --> 00:40:27.714 On the thank you page, just put the the information that people asked for on that thank you page, 620 00:40:28.655 --> 00:40:30.335 if that's easier for you. 621 00:40:30.655 --> 00:40:33.875 So you don't have to worry about uploading a PDF or downloading, 622 00:40:34.415 --> 00:40:35.555 having one downloaded. 623 00:40:35.840 --> 00:40:41.060 You can just put the information on the thank you page and make the process super simple for yourself, 624 00:40:41.440 --> 00:40:44.100 and for the person who just asked for the information. 625 00:40:45.040 --> 00:40:50.020 Good.

Good friend, Greg. 666 00:42:52.235 --> 00:42:53.615 Greg, how you doing today? 667 00:42:54.635 --> 00:42:55.455 Hey, guys. 668 00:42:55.755 --> 00:42:59.535 Thanks. I'm glad you guys are still doing. These are really awesome and very helpful. 669 00:43:01.349 --> 00:43:10.970 So I had a a little situation pop up just, last night and and today with somebody who paid to join my directory and cannot find themselves when searching. 670 00:43:11.670 --> 00:43:12.150 And, 671 00:43:12.585 --> 00:43:15.565 if I'm understanding this correctly, you know, because I was putting around my website 672 00:43:16.025 --> 00:43:19.325 at up at oh, well, if you wanna pull up my website, it's it's 673 00:43:19.705 --> 00:43:21.484 awakenche.org. 674 00:43:21.945 --> 00:43:23.405 Yeah. Let's check it out. Maybe, 675 00:43:24.505 --> 00:43:25.965 you said awaken or awakening? 676 00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:27.500 Awaken. 677 00:43:27.960 --> 00:43:30.460 I see. Okay. Hopefully, it's just a setting. 678 00:43:31.640 --> 00:43:34.940 So what's well, here's the thing that that looks like it's happening. 679 00:43:35.080 --> 00:43:37.980 Up in the top right corner of the header 680 00:43:38.280 --> 00:43:41.020 and when you're on the website, I have the 681 00:43:42.385 --> 00:43:43.205 name keyword 682 00:43:43.905 --> 00:43:45.765 and location search. Yeah. Right there. 683 00:43:45.905 --> 00:43:49.845 So in that name and keyword, if I actually put in a category, 684 00:43:50.385 --> 00:43:54.805 it doesn't search the category. It seems to only search, like, titles and things like that. 685 00:43:55.290 --> 00:43:58.030 So What's an example? So here's an example. Coaching. 686 00:43:58.890 --> 00:43:59.390 So 687 00:44:00.410 --> 00:44:00.910 yeah. 688 00:44:01.610 --> 00:44:03.130 Or put it oh, put put in, 689 00:44:04.490 --> 00:44:05.470 put in open 690 00:44:05.930 --> 00:44:06.430 heart 691 00:44:07.155 --> 00:44:08.435 because that's the name of our company. 692 00:44:08.435 --> 00:44:11.815 So you'll see if you actually put that in with a space, open space heart. 693 00:44:14.835 --> 00:44:16.275 Hang on a second. Let's see, 694 00:44:17.715 --> 00:44:19.015 let's see something here. 695 00:44:20.920 --> 00:44:22.380 Yep. It looks like 696 00:44:24.280 --> 00:44:28.460 you're missing the member search. This is these are your auto suggest, 697 00:44:28.920 --> 00:44:29.420 settings. 698 00:44:30.600 --> 00:44:32.700 It looks like you don't have one for, 699 00:44:34.040 --> 00:44:34.540 members. 700 00:44:35.855 --> 00:44:38.355 So let me let me add that right now. 701 00:44:38.974 --> 00:44:42.115 Give me just a second. So I think it's, member search. 702 00:44:47.295 --> 00:44:50.915 And what we wanna do, enable listings. Yes. Yes. Yes. 703 00:44:51.270 --> 00:44:52.170 And we wanna enable 704 00:44:54.150 --> 00:44:55.050 this is all 705 00:44:55.590 --> 00:44:57.030 enabled by default for everyone. 706 00:44:57.030 --> 00:45:01.750 So it looks like it looks like just that one's missing on your site. So it looks like it was Okay. 707 00:45:02.150 --> 00:45:05.270 Some it it had to have been manually deleted by accident, 708 00:45:05.590 --> 00:45:07.625 somehow. So let's see if this, 709 00:45:08.265 --> 00:45:13.145 fixes it. Let me just check one thing. I don't know if the Yeah. The name is called member search. 710 00:45:13.145 --> 00:45:16.425 Let me just double check it. Oh, for well, I guess we could check your site real quick. 711 00:45:16.425 --> 00:45:20.365 I just have to get the right name for that, so I might just, check on another site. 712 00:45:20.905 --> 00:45:21.405 So, 713 00:45:23.280 --> 00:45:25.380 oh, there we go. Coaching. Now it's working. 714 00:45:26.880 --> 00:45:28.980 Okay. So you're all good? Cool. 715 00:45:29.440 --> 00:45:31.380 You said Open Heart? Okay. 716 00:45:31.760 --> 00:45:33.520 Yeah. Open Heart Institute. So 717 00:45:34.974 --> 00:45:37.234 yeah. Do you wanna jump back on the screen to the 718 00:45:37.935 --> 00:45:42.734 to the front? Oh, okay. Okay. There we go. So yeah. It's sorry. It's working. 719 00:45:42.734 --> 00:45:44.734 So if I type in open That's for 720 00:45:46.575 --> 00:45:50.970 right. Oh, so there it is. Okay. So now let's see if this works. It's, but put put in 721 00:45:52.550 --> 00:45:54.970 therapy or therapist. I'm trying to remember. 722 00:45:55.510 --> 00:45:56.390 I I I was 723 00:45:58.230 --> 00:45:59.290 Okay. Therapy. 724 00:46:01.464 --> 00:46:02.845 Yeah. Let me see. She's not 725 00:46:05.305 --> 00:46:07.325 who's the member? We could take a look at the membership. 726 00:46:09.785 --> 00:46:11.704 What what's that? The hold on. Wait a minute. Sorry. 727 00:46:11.704 --> 00:46:15.565 The, the category the category, I think, is, like, counseling slash therapy 728 00:46:15.930 --> 00:46:16.430 that 729 00:46:16.730 --> 00:46:17.710 that she's in. 730 00:46:20.890 --> 00:46:24.829 Okay. There's a few of them. There's individual practitioner, holistic business. 731 00:46:25.770 --> 00:46:26.270 Counseling. 732 00:46:26.810 --> 00:46:27.530 Counseling. Yeah. 733 00:46:27.530 --> 00:46:36.315 So and and I don't know if the way I organize the site, makes the searches more difficult, but I was trying to make it make sense for the people that are joining. 734 00:46:36.315 --> 00:46:40.495 You know? So some people are individuals, some people are businesses. Right? So 735 00:46:41.790 --> 00:46:46.290 she, I believe, is an individual practitioner that's in the counseling therapy section. 736 00:46:46.510 --> 00:46:49.330 But when I put in counseling What's the member's name? 737 00:46:52.110 --> 00:46:55.635 Is or what Her name is Kaleigh, k a l I e. 738 00:46:56.355 --> 00:46:56.855 Okay. 739 00:46:57.875 --> 00:47:00.455 Kaleie okay. So it's so it's this one here. 740 00:47:01.315 --> 00:47:01.815 So, 741 00:47:02.675 --> 00:47:04.375 let's just search She was searching 742 00:47:06.355 --> 00:47:08.695 Go ahead. So it's showing up here. 743 00:47:10.329 --> 00:47:12.109 Let's search author slash writer. 744 00:47:13.369 --> 00:47:13.690 Yeah. 745 00:47:13.690 --> 00:47:18.430 I think I think she was specifically testing the counseling, and she was putting in counseling, and she wasn't finding herself. 746 00:47:20.329 --> 00:47:20.829 Okay. 747 00:47:22.795 --> 00:47:25.915 Now so the the settings, you know, like, I have 748 00:47:26.475 --> 00:47:30.335 Nirvana is my highest level. She's in the middle level, and then I have a free level. 749 00:47:31.595 --> 00:47:34.815 So I know that the highest level people are gonna show up first. 750 00:47:35.275 --> 00:47:37.170 But yeah. But she's missing from that list. 751 00:47:38.930 --> 00:47:42.390 So I don't know if it's just the glitch that something that happened with her specifically. 752 00:47:49.250 --> 00:47:50.950 I think in this case, 753 00:47:51.525 --> 00:47:55.785 what you would want is this. Let me just check if it's enabled on your site. 754 00:47:57.845 --> 00:48:04.505 And and I find it odd that, you know, if I start typing counseling, there's there's other places that show up, but for some odd reason hers, it does not. 755 00:48:05.690 --> 00:48:08.670 Right. Right. Let me just check this real quick. 756 00:48:09.610 --> 00:48:11.310 This is the add on you want. 757 00:48:11.610 --> 00:48:14.750 So her category is counseling slash therapy. 758 00:48:15.290 --> 00:48:19.630 So that's that's what she's gonna show up for. If you want members to show up for variations 759 00:48:20.010 --> 00:48:21.135 or partial matches 760 00:48:21.855 --> 00:48:22.995 for keyword searches, 761 00:48:23.535 --> 00:48:26.495 this is exactly what this add on does, a search member keywords. 762 00:48:26.495 --> 00:48:31.795 It provides members with a greater search visibility by making all the text on their profile pages 763 00:48:32.095 --> 00:48:32.595 searchable. 764 00:48:33.970 --> 00:48:38.390 So so this one, I don't know if it looks like you have quite a few of the add ons enabled. If you, 765 00:48:39.330 --> 00:48:41.270 if you have the VIP add ons club, 766 00:48:41.970 --> 00:48:46.210 I would want you should wanna make sure that this one search member keywords is enabled. 767 00:48:46.210 --> 00:48:47.350 And again, it it searches 768 00:48:47.730 --> 00:48:48.230 variations. 769 00:48:49.455 --> 00:48:52.995 Sorry, not variations. It searches for partial Right. Or full matches, 770 00:48:54.095 --> 00:48:54.595 for, 771 00:48:56.895 --> 00:48:57.395 for 772 00:48:57.775 --> 00:49:03.555 text that's on a member's profile page. Let me get the, the link here. I'll put it in the chat. 773 00:49:05.110 --> 00:49:09.850 That will that will solve that issue. Then anyone that has counseling in their 774 00:49:10.230 --> 00:49:11.210 on their profile, 775 00:49:11.750 --> 00:49:15.369 will show up in the search results and they'll be sorted by their search priority. 776 00:49:15.510 --> 00:49:20.105 So your tier one members will show ahead of the tier two members in the search results. 777 00:49:22.644 --> 00:49:26.884 So let's, let me put that here. That's in the chat there, Greg. 778 00:49:26.884 --> 00:49:31.305 So, yeah, that should take care of that problem, and I'm glad that we've got the That'd be good for me to have. 779 00:49:31.480 --> 00:49:31.980 Yeah. 780 00:49:33.400 --> 00:49:35.560 So, yeah, check that out, and then come back next webinar. 781 00:49:35.560 --> 00:49:37.900 Let me know let me know how that works out for you. So 782 00:49:40.600 --> 00:49:45.820 okay. So so you're saying that if if I make the category just counseling and just therapy, 783 00:49:46.325 --> 00:49:49.765 then if I put in the word counseling, then she should be showing up. 784 00:49:49.765 --> 00:49:52.345 If she's part of that category, definitely. Yeah. 785 00:49:54.005 --> 00:49:58.585 Because that's a that's a that's the name But because That's a category match for the name of the category. 786 00:50:00.460 --> 00:50:03.020 K. That's the match exactly unless I have that point in. Okay? Yeah. 787 00:50:03.020 --> 00:50:06.480 And then related to searching, if you let me real quick, 788 00:50:06.780 --> 00:50:09.120 the other thing with searching that I'm, 789 00:50:09.500 --> 00:50:11.600 trying to understand is if I do a location 790 00:50:12.140 --> 00:50:19.095 search, so I know that it pulls up the member tiers with, you know, highest paying first and then middle tier and then bottom tier. 791 00:50:19.474 --> 00:50:24.775 Is there a way to change the search radius? Because I don't think it's fair to members that 792 00:50:25.075 --> 00:50:27.095 if they put in their city, 793 00:50:27.555 --> 00:50:30.934 there might be somebody that's, like, 20 miles away showing up 794 00:50:31.660 --> 00:50:35.340 before the second tier shows up. So so the way the You know what I mean? Yeah. 795 00:50:35.340 --> 00:50:38.640 So the way the location works, it'll sort people by distance, 796 00:50:39.180 --> 00:50:42.720 and let's say there's there's five people that are five miles away. 797 00:50:43.180 --> 00:50:45.280 So it'll show the distance first, 798 00:50:46.265 --> 00:50:49.245 then it will sort the people that are the same distance away 799 00:50:49.625 --> 00:50:53.405 based on the search priority. So it'll it'll take distance into consideration 800 00:50:53.705 --> 00:50:54.205 first, 801 00:50:54.505 --> 00:50:56.445 and then it will sort them by, 802 00:50:57.065 --> 00:50:58.285 their search priority. 803 00:50:58.585 --> 00:50:59.645 Does that make sense? 804 00:50:59.945 --> 00:51:00.445 No. 805 00:51:00.920 --> 00:51:04.620 Well, yeah. But mine shows the priority first. Like, type in Jamieson, 806 00:51:05.640 --> 00:51:06.140 PA. 807 00:51:06.520 --> 00:51:09.500 That's, the same woman. That's where her place is located. 808 00:51:10.280 --> 00:51:11.500 Jamieson, PA. 809 00:51:13.255 --> 00:51:13.755 Yeah. 810 00:51:15.895 --> 00:51:17.835 Jamieson. Did I spell that right? 811 00:51:20.375 --> 00:51:20.875 Yeah. 812 00:51:21.175 --> 00:51:21.675 Jamieson. 813 00:51:22.695 --> 00:51:24.795 Is that Pennsylvania? We're down in the Wyssuch. 814 00:51:25.790 --> 00:51:28.210 There It's in Pennsylvania. Yeah. Okay. There we go. 815 00:51:28.830 --> 00:51:31.170 It's with an I. That's I was spelling it wrong. 816 00:51:31.790 --> 00:51:32.290 Uh-oh. 817 00:51:33.790 --> 00:51:35.170 Let me get rid of the counseling. 818 00:51:37.230 --> 00:51:41.170 So she's on, like, the second or third page because all my 819 00:51:41.615 --> 00:51:43.795 premium Nirvana members show up first. 820 00:51:45.615 --> 00:51:46.994 How far away is she? 821 00:51:49.214 --> 00:51:50.115 She's in Jamieson. 822 00:51:54.770 --> 00:51:58.390 So which one which one is hers? How big of a town is Jamieson? 823 00:51:59.730 --> 00:52:03.650 Here. She's here. Not very big at all. She's one mile away. Yeah. 824 00:52:03.650 --> 00:52:06.150 So she's but she's the first person 825 00:52:06.609 --> 00:52:07.910 in the enlightened sect. 826 00:52:08.575 --> 00:52:09.695 That's the my middle tier. 827 00:52:09.695 --> 00:52:14.735 So she's the first person in the middle tier a mile away, but she's on, you know, whatever that is, the third page or something. 828 00:52:14.735 --> 00:52:20.035 K. Hang on. Let me check something real quick. Yeah. And that and that's how it's intended to work. 829 00:52:22.150 --> 00:52:25.370 Right. I I didn't know if there was a way for me to change that search radius. 830 00:52:26.790 --> 00:52:29.990 Pat, do you know anything off top of your head? You know what to show? There yeah. 831 00:52:29.990 --> 00:52:31.510 That's a customization. Know what I mean? 832 00:52:31.510 --> 00:52:35.775 Because because to my middle tier people, I mean, they're also paying, and it doesn't seem to be I'll be honest. 833 00:52:35.855 --> 00:52:40.095 I don't even think it's a customization. I'm trying to think of what the setting is, Greg. 834 00:52:40.095 --> 00:52:42.115 It's just slipping my mind right now. 835 00:52:43.454 --> 00:52:50.170 You might wanna play with this, and and then if not, you could just, email the support team and and see what they say. 836 00:52:50.170 --> 00:52:53.710 I don't think this one is a is a customization. There there has to be a setting for this. 837 00:52:53.770 --> 00:52:55.290 So give me just one moment here. 838 00:52:55.290 --> 00:53:03.015 But but the ease but the the easiest solution to that is just to make the sort order the same for everyone, and then you'll be accomplishing what you're looking to do. 839 00:53:03.095 --> 00:53:06.315 So if if you don't if you don't wanna give them any priority in search results, 840 00:53:06.615 --> 00:53:11.515 then you just make them all ones, and then they'll all appear based on the closest at that point. 841 00:53:11.575 --> 00:53:13.974 Alright. Thank you very much, Greg, for your questions there. 842 00:53:13.974 --> 00:53:17.194 Good stuff to take a look, at your site and how you're using it. 843 00:53:18.039 --> 00:53:21.180 Alright. We got some people typing in, some questions. 844 00:53:21.720 --> 00:53:22.220 Alright. 845 00:53:22.839 --> 00:53:24.859 Arlana, you have unmuted your microphone. 846 00:53:25.880 --> 00:53:27.819 Yes. Hello. Hi. How are you today? 847 00:53:28.440 --> 00:53:31.500 Doing good. Thanks. Alright. What's your question for us today? 848 00:53:33.415 --> 00:53:34.454 I'm actually was, 849 00:53:34.855 --> 00:53:35.355 just 850 00:53:35.815 --> 00:53:38.214 looking at the last website we were on, and, 851 00:53:38.934 --> 00:53:40.454 I noticed he had the, 852 00:53:40.855 --> 00:53:41.994 membership badges 853 00:53:42.454 --> 00:53:43.835 on the contact 854 00:53:44.214 --> 00:53:45.115 for each member. 855 00:53:45.575 --> 00:53:46.635 Mhmm. Yep. 856 00:53:47.760 --> 00:53:49.300 So I left that. 857 00:53:49.680 --> 00:53:52.020 I'm wondering how do you is that in the, 858 00:53:54.080 --> 00:53:58.980 to add I was going to do that for each of my members with to add a verified button 859 00:53:59.280 --> 00:54:00.260 more as verified 860 00:54:00.560 --> 00:54:00.720 by 861 00:54:01.715 --> 00:54:04.775 not just verified, but they verified their email, but verified, 862 00:54:06.355 --> 00:54:10.195 giving them some a qualification of being a verified member. Sure. 863 00:54:10.195 --> 00:54:13.015 I can show you how you would add an a badge to a member's, 864 00:54:13.395 --> 00:54:15.095 search results and profile page. 865 00:54:15.235 --> 00:54:19.770 Do you wanna use your site as an example, and I I can just put a sample image there for the time being? 866 00:54:20.630 --> 00:54:23.050 Sure. Awesome. What's the name of your site? 867 00:54:23.830 --> 00:54:24.970 Holistic Essentials 868 00:54:26.550 --> 00:54:27.610 wellness directory. 869 00:54:28.315 --> 00:54:29.515 So let me just, 870 00:54:29.915 --> 00:54:30.415 search 871 00:54:30.715 --> 00:54:31.775 Google for 872 00:54:32.235 --> 00:54:34.415 a quick image. Give me one moment. 873 00:54:34.715 --> 00:54:35.695 I'll just say 874 00:54:36.635 --> 00:54:37.535 star badge 875 00:54:41.319 --> 00:54:41.819 icon. 876 00:54:44.520 --> 00:54:47.500 Okay. So let's let's just say let's just take something simple 877 00:54:47.960 --> 00:54:48.940 like this here. 878 00:54:50.280 --> 00:54:55.319 I'll just go ahead and and save this. You can obviously go find the right image, for your site. 879 00:54:55.319 --> 00:54:56.895 I'm just gonna call this badge. 880 00:54:59.695 --> 00:55:00.435 Just because 881 00:55:01.135 --> 00:55:06.675 I'm a little bit of a perfectionist when it comes to this, I'm just going to reduce the size of the image in Photoshop. 882 00:55:06.735 --> 00:55:08.195 But, you don't really need 883 00:55:08.575 --> 00:55:11.235 to do that. But let me just do that real quick 884 00:55:11.930 --> 00:55:13.870 I can get rid of some of the extra space. 885 00:55:18.730 --> 00:55:22.190 So what is the best size to use for something like this? 886 00:55:25.345 --> 00:55:27.845 I think, like, a hundred by 100 is fine. 887 00:55:31.105 --> 00:55:32.805 So I'll just make this a hundred. 888 00:55:34.625 --> 00:55:37.685 You could maybe go a little smaller, but that's that's fine. 889 00:55:38.910 --> 00:55:41.170 And we'll just call this badge again. So 890 00:55:42.589 --> 00:55:44.770 it's really just a two step process, 891 00:55:45.150 --> 00:55:45.650 Arlana. 892 00:55:46.349 --> 00:55:49.569 Step one is you wanna go to your image manager, 893 00:55:52.285 --> 00:55:52.785 And 894 00:55:53.405 --> 00:55:57.185 also, let me go to the front of your site. Let's go to your search results page right now. 895 00:55:59.005 --> 00:56:05.825 So here's your members without any badges there. And this is a really nice way to kinda add a 896 00:56:06.579 --> 00:56:14.599 custom touch to your site, make it more brand or brandable with the, you know, type of icons that you use and really create a nice sense of community. 897 00:56:15.540 --> 00:56:18.099 So the first thing you wanna do is you wanna go to your image manager. 898 00:56:18.099 --> 00:56:21.640 I'm gonna go ahead and just upload that new image called batch. 899 00:56:22.955 --> 00:56:24.175 Okay. That's uploaded. 900 00:56:24.875 --> 00:56:25.375 And 901 00:56:25.755 --> 00:56:30.895 the next thing we wanna do is grab the the file name. So I'm just gonna sort by date here. 902 00:56:31.275 --> 00:56:36.895 And a real easy way to do that with your images, because you're gonna use images for lots of different things, emails, 903 00:56:37.530 --> 00:56:38.270 blog posts, 904 00:56:39.370 --> 00:56:40.030 you know, 905 00:56:40.970 --> 00:56:45.070 pages around your site. You can right click and copy the image URL. 906 00:56:45.930 --> 00:56:48.190 So I'm just gonna copy the image URL. 907 00:56:49.130 --> 00:56:53.234 So now that we've uploaded the image and grabbed the image URL, we wanna assign 908 00:56:53.615 --> 00:56:54.355 that image 909 00:56:54.974 --> 00:56:57.075 to a certain membership level. 910 00:56:58.974 --> 00:57:00.675 So maybe we can do, 911 00:57:02.335 --> 00:57:03.555 your VIP levels. 912 00:57:04.015 --> 00:57:05.155 Would that be okay? 913 00:57:05.640 --> 00:57:10.380 Sure. Okay. So you can edit the VIP membership level that you have. 914 00:57:10.760 --> 00:57:17.339 And right here on the first tab, you don't have to go to any other tabs, there's profile page badge and search results badge. 915 00:57:17.664 --> 00:57:21.204 You could have different badges. Maybe the search results one is a little smaller, 916 00:57:21.825 --> 00:57:25.444 compact. I'll just use the same badge for both of them right now. 917 00:57:26.065 --> 00:57:28.164 And we'll go ahead and save the changes. 918 00:57:30.080 --> 00:57:34.720 And that's pretty much all we have to do. So I'll just let this save, and then we'll go, 919 00:57:35.200 --> 00:57:37.060 check out your VIP 920 00:57:37.440 --> 00:57:37.940 members. 921 00:57:39.040 --> 00:57:40.020 Let's see here. 922 00:57:41.875 --> 00:57:43.575 So I'll just refresh the page. 923 00:57:44.275 --> 00:57:46.535 I'll just scroll down a little bit till we see, 924 00:57:47.955 --> 00:57:51.415 some of the VIP members. I saw that they were third in the search results 925 00:57:53.395 --> 00:57:53.895 priority. 926 00:57:54.650 --> 00:57:57.230 You know what might be easier? Let me just do this. 927 00:57:57.930 --> 00:57:58.910 Let's click here 928 00:58:00.570 --> 00:58:02.270 rather than going page by page. 929 00:58:04.490 --> 00:58:05.550 One more page. 930 00:58:07.370 --> 00:58:09.390 Nope. Not showing there. Okay. So 931 00:58:10.325 --> 00:58:13.545 these are your VIP club members. Let's view a profile. 932 00:58:16.244 --> 00:58:18.424 And here's a badge here on their 933 00:58:18.964 --> 00:58:19.865 profile page. 934 00:58:20.805 --> 00:58:23.305 And Okay. Let's look at a search results page. 935 00:58:28.010 --> 00:58:29.230 It's showing twice 936 00:58:29.930 --> 00:58:32.830 on the search results page. Let's find out 937 00:58:35.130 --> 00:58:35.630 why. 938 00:58:36.730 --> 00:58:40.190 I see that you see that this is showing double here, Arlana? 939 00:58:40.944 --> 00:58:42.724 Yeah. Can I fix that for you? 940 00:58:44.385 --> 00:58:45.605 That would be wonderful. 941 00:58:45.905 --> 00:58:48.645 Okay. That's probably gonna fix that batch issue too. 942 00:58:49.825 --> 00:58:52.085 Let me just reset your your listing 943 00:58:52.880 --> 00:58:56.240 search results here. So there's an update that you can run. You see this run update here? 944 00:58:56.240 --> 00:58:57.140 You'll see these, 945 00:58:57.600 --> 00:58:59.220 at times in your in your admin. 946 00:58:59.920 --> 00:59:01.780 So let me just run that. Right. Okay. 947 00:59:02.480 --> 00:59:02.980 K. 948 00:59:03.520 --> 00:59:06.160 And we got the page refresh. It's good. 949 00:59:06.160 --> 00:59:11.825 There's because, like, with WordPress sites, you have to do comprehensive updates of of the entire WordPress install. 950 00:59:12.045 --> 00:59:14.525 With Brilliant Directories, it's just localized updates. 951 00:59:14.845 --> 00:59:19.585 So it's, like, minimally invasive in a way when there are updates that need to to happen. 952 00:59:20.240 --> 00:59:24.420 So what I'm going to do is just restore your, listing settings. 953 00:59:25.200 --> 00:59:26.980 So this is a good way to restore, 954 00:59:28.079 --> 00:59:30.180 default code if you've kind of played around 955 00:59:30.559 --> 00:59:34.180 with your listing setups. And there's another installer here also. I'll go ahead and 956 00:59:34.485 --> 00:59:35.865 update that for you too. 957 00:59:37.125 --> 00:59:37.945 Thank you. 958 00:59:41.525 --> 00:59:45.465 Alright. And let me just check that that default code is there now. 959 00:59:46.405 --> 00:59:49.385 Yep. Looks good. Save the changes and 960 00:59:50.030 --> 00:59:54.589 go back to the search results page here. So that change took care of the double issue. 961 00:59:54.589 --> 00:59:56.770 Now you're also getting a map icon here, 962 00:59:57.310 --> 00:59:58.210 which should show 963 00:59:58.589 --> 01:00:01.650 pin drops of where people are. It's a nice little touch there. 964 01:00:03.005 --> 01:00:06.445 But in the search results here, yeah, now we're just getting one star as well. 965 01:00:06.445 --> 01:00:08.385 So that kind of fixed, that issue. 966 01:00:08.525 --> 01:00:13.005 So we've now added a star to the search results and to the profile page. 967 01:00:13.005 --> 01:00:19.640 And, of course, you can have different icons if you chose to have a smaller or diff or modified version in the search results. 968 01:00:20.500 --> 01:00:23.400 So if you wanted it to say on that page 969 01:00:23.700 --> 01:00:27.960 what that stood for, you would have to modify it and put it right into the graphic? 970 01:00:28.339 --> 01:00:29.955 Or is there a way to add a text 971 01:00:30.435 --> 01:00:31.415 box saying 972 01:00:32.115 --> 01:00:33.815 No. Correct. Of VIP member? 973 01:00:34.195 --> 01:00:34.435 No. 974 01:00:34.435 --> 01:00:41.015 You would add it into the graphic of whatever you choose to use, similar to kinda what we saw on, Greg's site. 975 01:00:43.190 --> 01:00:43.690 Alright. 976 01:00:43.990 --> 01:00:45.849 Alright. Thank you for your question, Arlona. 977 01:00:46.230 --> 01:00:51.690 Mhmm. Thank you. Now, Jace Jason, that was for a custom member badge, and that that was great. 978 01:00:51.990 --> 01:00:54.549 She also mentioned she just wanted a verified badge. 979 01:00:54.549 --> 01:00:58.795 So perhaps if somebody's looking just to show that a member has been verified 980 01:00:59.175 --> 01:01:02.395 by the directory owner, where would they go and do that for a member? 981 01:01:02.775 --> 01:01:06.455 Good question. So let's say this company I'll I'll do it and then I'll revert it. 982 01:01:06.455 --> 01:01:08.234 Let's say Mantra Yoga and Meditation 983 01:01:08.855 --> 01:01:11.930 has provided Arlana with, you know, certificates 984 01:01:12.230 --> 01:01:14.089 that they're a real business. 985 01:01:15.270 --> 01:01:16.790 So what you can do is, 986 01:01:17.270 --> 01:01:18.410 let's go to 987 01:01:18.710 --> 01:01:21.690 the admin area and let's search for mantra yoga. 988 01:01:22.790 --> 01:01:24.650 So we'll go to, members here. 989 01:01:26.395 --> 01:01:30.655 And what we're going to do when we get there is we're going to use the quick edit, 990 01:01:32.315 --> 01:01:34.655 feature. So let's just search mantra yoga. 991 01:01:35.355 --> 01:01:36.735 And under actions, 992 01:01:37.515 --> 01:01:40.735 because verifying someone is is kind of a manual process, 993 01:01:41.580 --> 01:01:45.120 it does require the admin to do it manually. You can click quick edit. 994 01:01:45.340 --> 01:01:50.720 Mantra Yoga has provided Arlana with whatever qualifies them as verified for her website. 995 01:01:51.260 --> 01:01:56.885 And under listing settings here, there's a few options. The second one is verified 996 01:01:57.185 --> 01:01:57.685 member, 997 01:01:57.985 --> 01:01:59.765 and you can set this to yes. 998 01:01:59.905 --> 01:02:04.325 By default, everyone is set to no, and I'll go ahead and save the changes. 999 01:02:05.265 --> 01:02:10.805 So those changes are saved. If we refresh the page for Mantra Yoga, it automatically 1000 01:02:11.265 --> 01:02:11.765 adds 1001 01:02:13.480 --> 01:02:18.060 an another batch here. And if you hover over it, just let the page load, 1002 01:02:20.520 --> 01:02:25.340 it says a little message verified member. This you know, you can change this text obviously. 1003 01:02:25.605 --> 01:02:30.105 So now they get a badge for their membership level, and they get a badge because they're verified. 1004 01:02:30.725 --> 01:02:31.625 And this badge, 1005 01:02:32.565 --> 01:02:34.405 it doesn't change member to member. 1006 01:02:34.405 --> 01:02:38.585 It's just one verified badge for any members that are verified, but you can also change, 1007 01:02:39.060 --> 01:02:41.640 this icon in your, image manager. 1008 01:02:41.940 --> 01:02:44.600 You just swap it out with the image that you wanna use. 1009 01:02:44.820 --> 01:02:47.480 So I'll go ahead and switch them back to not verified. 1010 01:02:51.555 --> 01:02:53.734 Okay. And we'll refresh the page again. 1011 01:02:54.675 --> 01:02:56.935 Looks like that's taking a second to save. 1012 01:02:58.835 --> 01:03:00.375 Refresh it, and this badge 1013 01:03:00.675 --> 01:03:05.255 should go away, and we're just left with the badge that represents this membership level. 1014 01:03:07.180 --> 01:03:08.560 Great stuff. Thank you. 1015 01:03:08.620 --> 01:03:17.340 It's really nice because you get to add more colors and more imagery to what's otherwise a a page of text and buttons and and logo. 1016 01:03:17.340 --> 01:03:22.195 So, you know, even these buttons like show phone number add add some character, 1017 01:03:22.895 --> 01:03:27.315 to a website. So it's just another level. And your members appreciate it also. 1018 01:03:28.175 --> 01:03:32.415 When they see that they have a badge next to their name, they you know, that plays to their ego. 1019 01:03:32.415 --> 01:03:33.715 They feel special inside. 1020 01:03:34.290 --> 01:03:37.750 So it's really a nice way to encourage people to upgrade, 1021 01:03:38.290 --> 01:03:39.430 to show visitors 1022 01:03:39.810 --> 01:03:46.310 which who is really a trusted member, and obviously trusted members will receive more inquiries from your visitors. 1023 01:03:46.450 --> 01:03:48.790 So it isn't just a badge, it's 1024 01:03:49.505 --> 01:03:51.765 it's clout. You're giving you're verifying 1025 01:03:52.225 --> 01:03:55.125 to website visitors that these are the members you recommend 1026 01:03:55.425 --> 01:03:56.485 that they contact 1027 01:03:57.105 --> 01:03:59.925 before anyone else on your site. So 1028 01:04:00.385 --> 01:04:02.325 it is really more than just an icon. 1029 01:04:04.210 --> 01:04:11.250 And I went ahead and shared an article on the in the brilliant directory support center that shows you how you can easily customize that verified batch. 1030 01:04:11.250 --> 01:04:16.210 Because I know that comes up quite a bit, so I put that link in there in case anybody wanted to learn how to do that. 1031 01:04:16.210 --> 01:04:18.070 Awesome. Yep. I see that. Alright. 1032 01:04:19.635 --> 01:04:23.335 Let me let me just click on that so we can all go there together real quick. 1033 01:04:25.315 --> 01:04:28.855 So, customizing the member verified badge. Perfect. 1034 01:04:29.795 --> 01:04:30.775 Thank you, Pat. 1035 01:04:31.155 --> 01:04:31.895 You're welcome. 1036 01:04:32.799 --> 01:04:36.500 Alright. And let's keep the, good times rolling here. 1037 01:04:37.440 --> 01:04:41.619 Shanee, I'm unmuting your microphone, but it looks like it's muted on your side 1038 01:04:42.079 --> 01:04:42.980 of the line. 1039 01:04:43.839 --> 01:04:45.470 There we go. How are you, Shanee? 1040 01:04:46.255 --> 01:04:49.555 Hi. Good. Good. How are you? Awesome. Where are you calling in from? 1041 01:04:51.615 --> 01:04:52.595 Deberry, Florida. 1042 01:04:53.055 --> 01:04:55.315 Okay. How's the weather there this time of year? 1043 01:04:55.775 --> 01:04:56.755 Oh, it's beautiful. 1044 01:04:57.055 --> 01:04:59.635 Right? Beautiful. Right? Before the hot summer comes? 1045 01:05:01.100 --> 01:05:03.840 Yes. I know. We got one more month. 1046 01:05:04.940 --> 01:05:06.720 Yeah. So what's your question for us today? 1047 01:05:08.780 --> 01:05:09.280 So, 1048 01:05:10.220 --> 01:05:11.920 I just launched on Saturday, 1049 01:05:13.100 --> 01:05:15.840 and it's womanwoman'slane.org. 1050 01:05:16.345 --> 01:05:16.845 And, 1051 01:05:20.025 --> 01:05:21.965 and I had a lot some feedback 1052 01:05:22.505 --> 01:05:26.445 where the women were kinda saying, well, we wanna see the 1053 01:05:27.225 --> 01:05:28.265 we wanna see the, 1054 01:05:29.410 --> 01:05:30.230 the listing, 1055 01:05:31.330 --> 01:05:31.830 but 1056 01:05:32.290 --> 01:05:34.870 without having to to sign up as a free user. 1057 01:05:35.250 --> 01:05:38.230 So I was wondering I know you guys kinda just came out with 1058 01:05:40.050 --> 01:05:41.590 just came out with a 1059 01:05:43.415 --> 01:05:46.395 a feature where people can search the site 1060 01:05:47.015 --> 01:05:48.075 and not, 1061 01:05:49.575 --> 01:05:53.915 you know, and not have to sign up to see, like, to see the actual listing. 1062 01:05:54.535 --> 01:05:55.255 And then, 1063 01:05:55.575 --> 01:05:57.675 but they just can't see the contact information. 1064 01:05:58.490 --> 01:06:01.869 So, like, right now, if they click on any of my links, they have to sign up. 1065 01:06:02.410 --> 01:06:06.109 It looks like you have the it looks like you have the members only, 1066 01:06:07.049 --> 01:06:08.650 add on enabled. I, 1067 01:06:09.450 --> 01:06:14.455 I I don't think you need that right now if you're just starting out your site. Okay. Can I Okay? 1068 01:06:14.455 --> 01:06:18.855 Could we go ahead and disable that together? Yes. That would be great. Okay. Cool. Cool. 1069 01:06:19.175 --> 01:06:23.355 So in order to do that, there's a there's a few places to control members only content. 1070 01:06:23.735 --> 01:06:25.515 If you're getting a total site, 1071 01:06:26.240 --> 01:06:30.900 lockout, it's probably because you have members only website set to yes. 1072 01:06:31.280 --> 01:06:33.940 So I'll go ahead and set this to to no. 1073 01:06:35.040 --> 01:06:37.460 Okay. And and let's see if that works. 1074 01:06:38.335 --> 01:06:40.675 So let these change. I'll go back to your home page, 1075 01:06:41.135 --> 01:06:44.355 and then I'll just try to do an open search here. 1076 01:06:46.335 --> 01:06:51.715 Yep. And and we're good now. We have the results. We're not being kicked out or or asked to log in. 1077 01:06:52.640 --> 01:06:55.140 Right. So but you see how the phone numbers are on there? 1078 01:06:56.400 --> 01:06:57.300 And, I mean, 1079 01:06:58.480 --> 01:07:00.580 will they be able to contact the members? 1080 01:07:00.880 --> 01:07:05.200 So so what you want is you want the credit for connecting website visitors to your members. 1081 01:07:05.200 --> 01:07:07.060 And if they call them directly, 1082 01:07:08.015 --> 01:07:09.715 your member really doesn't know 1083 01:07:10.095 --> 01:07:10.495 that, 1084 01:07:11.295 --> 01:07:13.395 It came from me. It came from you. 1085 01:07:14.175 --> 01:07:17.315 So there's a few ways to to circumvent that. 1086 01:07:17.935 --> 01:07:20.115 Okay. One is to hide the phone number. 1087 01:07:21.010 --> 01:07:21.510 Okay. 1088 01:07:23.010 --> 01:07:24.230 The second one, 1089 01:07:24.610 --> 01:07:26.790 and do you know how to do that if you wanted to? 1090 01:07:27.730 --> 01:07:30.770 No. Okay. Let me let me show you because it's a good good question. 1091 01:07:30.770 --> 01:07:34.230 You only have four members right now. You're just starting out. That's perfectly fine. 1092 01:07:34.745 --> 01:07:35.265 So Yeah. 1093 01:07:35.465 --> 01:07:40.825 Maybe for your free or, you know, your lower membership levels, they don't even get a a phone number, 1094 01:07:41.225 --> 01:07:42.525 displayed on their site. 1095 01:07:43.865 --> 01:07:45.945 So I think those this member 1096 01:07:46.425 --> 01:07:49.085 what do you have? The online I'm teasing. That's a premium. 1097 01:07:50.400 --> 01:07:53.680 Well, the online storefront. Right? Yeah. Yeah. 1098 01:07:53.680 --> 01:07:56.180 So what you Premium that's that's that's the regular one. 1099 01:07:57.280 --> 01:08:00.800 But we could go this is the that's my lowest my lowest level Okay. Pay level. 1100 01:08:00.800 --> 01:08:03.059 So what's really cool about the membership levels, 1101 01:08:03.665 --> 01:08:05.345 first of all, there's tons of options. 1102 01:08:05.585 --> 01:08:10.085 You saw even this is where you set the profile badges that we did with Lorna. 1103 01:08:10.705 --> 01:08:12.325 You can obviously set prices, 1104 01:08:12.785 --> 01:08:16.219 search visibility options, which again, Greg, that's what I was referring to. 1105 01:08:16.219 --> 01:08:23.029 There's a lot of search visibility options, so I don't know exactly which one was tripping up the distance search results on your site. 1106 01:08:23.329 --> 01:08:29.029 But then what's really cool, my favorite tab when you're editing a membership level are the additional settings. 1107 01:08:30.475 --> 01:08:32.815 So among other things, you can actually 1108 01:08:33.515 --> 01:08:36.095 show phone number. You can set that to no. 1109 01:08:36.395 --> 01:08:40.175 That'll just not show the phone number, or you cannot show the address. 1110 01:08:40.715 --> 01:08:46.520 So any way any method that the user would try to contact circumvent your website and contact 1111 01:08:47.380 --> 01:08:48.359 the member directly, 1112 01:08:48.819 --> 01:08:53.239 you can remove those things. Even visiting their website link, you can remove that. 1113 01:08:54.179 --> 01:08:57.880 Right. And then when would they be able to to see it? 1114 01:09:00.145 --> 01:09:08.545 So so So I still so once they sign up as a as a free user, I eventually want them to be able to see all that so they can contact I see what you're saying. 1115 01:09:08.545 --> 01:09:13.925 You want it to be the restrictions to be done for the person experiencing, not necessarily the member. 1116 01:09:14.880 --> 01:09:16.580 Right. Oh, interesting. 1117 01:09:16.960 --> 01:09:18.960 There are I just want them to see it. 1118 01:09:18.960 --> 01:09:22.819 Because I just want them to kinda see the thing and be like, okay. This is what the functionality 1119 01:09:23.439 --> 01:09:26.020 might look like. Okay. I think this is what you need. 1120 01:09:26.715 --> 01:09:27.675 I'm gonna go back to, 1121 01:09:29.035 --> 01:09:30.814 our Lana's site, if that's okay. 1122 01:09:31.274 --> 01:09:32.255 Give me a second 1123 01:09:32.795 --> 01:09:34.495 because she she had it. 1124 01:09:35.835 --> 01:09:37.295 How do you here we go. 1125 01:09:38.790 --> 01:09:43.510 So there is there is an add on, which is really cool, but again, it's not for every site. 1126 01:09:43.510 --> 01:09:45.529 That's kinda why we we make it an add on. 1127 01:09:45.590 --> 01:09:49.369 Do you you notice that it says view phone number, you have to click it? 1128 01:09:50.469 --> 01:09:50.969 Yeah. 1129 01:09:51.484 --> 01:09:54.704 Okay. What that does is it tracks the clicks. 1130 01:09:56.125 --> 01:10:01.985 So it shows the member how many times somebody clicked to view their phone number. 1131 01:10:02.364 --> 01:10:08.120 And Okay. And where the member sees that is is somewhere here. Let me show you this, 1132 01:10:08.660 --> 01:10:10.680 is the member profile statistics. 1133 01:10:12.020 --> 01:10:15.719 So if it's important for you here we go. Member profile analytics. 1134 01:10:16.500 --> 01:10:20.760 So what what this does is it shows your members 1135 01:10:21.755 --> 01:10:25.135 a wealth of knowledge actually. How many profile views they've received, 1136 01:10:25.994 --> 01:10:31.695 how many webs clicks to their website they've received, how many times someone clicked to view their phone number. 1137 01:10:32.155 --> 01:10:33.775 So Right. So 1138 01:10:34.440 --> 01:10:35.719 I I know what you were trying to do. 1139 01:10:35.719 --> 01:10:40.060 You wanted to suppress information for your general website, people who are browsing your website. 1140 01:10:41.880 --> 01:10:45.880 But in this case what this is gonna do, it's gonna show value to your paying members. 1141 01:10:45.880 --> 01:10:50.005 You can say, hey, you got 50 phone clicks this month, you got 10 clicks to your website. 1142 01:10:51.264 --> 01:10:55.364 It actually lets you show data to your members. So if anyone wants to cancel, 1143 01:10:55.744 --> 01:10:59.925 you can easily show them the value of the of their listing on your website. 1144 01:11:00.304 --> 01:11:02.244 So rather than rather than suppressing 1145 01:11:02.625 --> 01:11:03.284 the information, 1146 01:11:04.520 --> 01:11:06.219 show it but track it. 1147 01:11:06.440 --> 01:11:13.180 That way you have something tangible that you can show your members when it's time for them to upgrade or if they're, 1148 01:11:13.640 --> 01:11:15.820 they they're potentially thinking about canceling. 1149 01:11:17.495 --> 01:11:18.635 Okay. Okay. Okay? 1150 01:11:19.575 --> 01:11:20.075 Alrighty. 1151 01:11:20.535 --> 01:11:23.595 So, yeah, this is again, if you're worried about member retention, 1152 01:11:24.055 --> 01:11:29.275 and you're and showing value to your members, this one is a super super add on to add to your site. 1153 01:11:30.250 --> 01:11:30.750 Okay. 1154 01:11:31.290 --> 01:11:36.030 Got it. Alright. Any other questions? We could take one more from you because that was pretty quick. 1155 01:11:36.810 --> 01:11:37.310 Yeah. 1156 01:11:38.490 --> 01:11:41.710 That was man, that was that was pretty much it. I mean, 1157 01:11:42.250 --> 01:11:43.050 the view profile 1158 01:11:45.735 --> 01:11:46.875 I like your style. 1159 01:11:47.255 --> 01:11:49.675 I like the colors you chose. I do have one recommendation. 1160 01:11:50.215 --> 01:11:56.475 Are you unless you're planning on changing see, this looks nicer because it's a light background with the darker text. 1161 01:11:58.050 --> 01:12:03.349 I would I would maybe recommend not using a slideshow and just find one image that 1162 01:12:03.730 --> 01:12:04.309 kind of 1163 01:12:05.090 --> 01:12:07.909 represents the audience that you're trying to go after. 1164 01:12:08.770 --> 01:12:15.364 Slideshows can get a little messy and and and thing see that there's black behind there now, like, just just no image. 1165 01:12:16.065 --> 01:12:16.305 So 1166 01:12:17.185 --> 01:12:17.685 Yeah. 1167 01:12:20.385 --> 01:12:24.145 Okay. You can you can disable that and just and just find Thank you. Find them. 1168 01:12:24.145 --> 01:12:28.160 But I I like the the colors you've chosen. It's like a purple pink color here against the black. 1169 01:12:28.160 --> 01:12:32.100 It looks really modern. So you've done a really nice job with that. Yeah. 1170 01:12:33.200 --> 01:12:35.760 Alright. Thank you very much for that question. Oh, it might have been. 1171 01:12:35.760 --> 01:12:41.315 I do have a question with the sub cap. Thank you. Thank you. No. What's your question? Go ahead. 1172 01:12:41.375 --> 01:12:43.235 You sounded really excited there. 1173 01:12:44.095 --> 01:12:44.595 Oh, 1174 01:12:45.775 --> 01:12:47.535 no. I did have a question with the, 1175 01:12:48.015 --> 01:12:48.515 subcategories. 1176 01:12:49.615 --> 01:12:50.115 So 1177 01:12:52.570 --> 01:12:58.250 just how do you add the the sub sub? So yeah. The sub sub. Good question. Okay. 1178 01:12:58.250 --> 01:13:02.350 Let's go to your I think I may have tried it, and I'm not sure if it worked. 1179 01:13:02.890 --> 01:13:06.110 Not a problem. That's that's a good one to show. May have tried. 1180 01:13:07.474 --> 01:13:12.675 So what we wanna do is you go to your, member categories. You can still hear me hear me okay. 1181 01:13:12.675 --> 01:13:13.175 Correct? 1182 01:13:15.155 --> 01:13:19.974 Yes. Okay. Good. So member categories, toggle over to the sublevel categories 1183 01:13:20.355 --> 01:13:20.855 tab. 1184 01:13:22.170 --> 01:13:23.390 And from here, 1185 01:13:24.330 --> 01:13:30.750 you can add a sublevel category, which is also sub subs. So let's I'm just gonna do, sample 1186 01:13:31.850 --> 01:13:32.350 sub 1187 01:13:33.930 --> 01:13:34.510 sub category. 1188 01:13:34.969 --> 01:13:36.430 And what you can do, choose 1189 01:13:36.975 --> 01:13:37.875 choose the, 1190 01:13:38.655 --> 01:13:39.795 top level category 1191 01:13:40.895 --> 01:13:43.475 Okay. And then choose the sublevel. 1192 01:13:44.014 --> 01:13:45.554 So we'll just do auction. 1193 01:13:46.175 --> 01:13:47.395 So now sub 1194 01:13:47.855 --> 01:13:48.355 subcategory 1195 01:13:48.815 --> 01:13:49.795 will be nested 1196 01:13:50.335 --> 01:13:53.580 under auction, which is inside of auto business 1197 01:13:54.520 --> 01:13:59.000 businesses. Gotcha. And that and then the members can select this category now accordingly. 1198 01:13:59.000 --> 01:14:05.740 And, obviously, if they choose this sub subcategory, they'll also be part of the auction category and the auto business category 1199 01:14:06.045 --> 01:14:07.505 from the theory of hierarchies. 1200 01:14:09.245 --> 01:14:11.105 Oh, okay. Yeah. Alright? 1201 01:14:11.965 --> 01:14:14.225 Alright. Thank you. Thank you very much. 1202 01:14:15.245 --> 01:14:16.925 Okay. Good questions there, 1203 01:14:17.245 --> 01:14:18.545 from Shanee. 1204 01:14:19.590 --> 01:14:21.530 How are we doing on time there, Pat? 1205 01:14:22.870 --> 01:14:26.010 I think we can get another one or two in there. Awesome. 1206 01:14:26.470 --> 01:14:31.130 Alright. We got I'm good. Yeah. How are you doing? Friend Dan from Canada. Dan, how are you doing? 1207 01:14:31.670 --> 01:14:34.715 Yeah. I'm here. Yeah. How are you doing? Good. Good. How are you doing today? 1208 01:14:35.495 --> 01:14:39.275 Good. Yeah. On my site, it's called workportal.ca. 1209 01:14:39.415 --> 01:14:41.594 Alright. And I'm a VIP member, 1210 01:14:42.455 --> 01:14:47.380 but there's one critical element I need to put on there, but it won't allow me to upload it. Okay. 1211 01:14:47.380 --> 01:14:51.720 Let's check it out. Hopefully, it's not a bug or an issue, and then we can help you out with that. 1212 01:14:53.540 --> 01:14:58.280 Alright. So, we're here on your site. And where should I go that you're having issues here? 1213 01:14:59.605 --> 01:15:04.025 Just on where it says monitor add ons, on your right hand side here. Okay. 1214 01:15:05.845 --> 01:15:07.705 And just if you scroll down, 1215 01:15:10.325 --> 01:15:11.305 a little bit more, 1216 01:15:12.680 --> 01:15:16.380 a little bit more where it says multi member oh, it says multi member add on. 1217 01:15:16.760 --> 01:15:17.260 Okay. 1218 01:15:17.720 --> 01:15:18.300 Right there. 1219 01:15:19.320 --> 01:15:23.580 So it got the install button and stuff like that. But when I try to get when I try to click on 1220 01:15:24.680 --> 01:15:25.400 an error message 1221 01:15:26.455 --> 01:15:27.495 Gotcha. Gotcha. 1222 01:15:27.895 --> 01:15:31.515 You know what? I think the team was updating a few things on this page. 1223 01:15:32.614 --> 01:15:36.935 Okay. I don't know what they updated, but you definitely should have access to that. 1224 01:15:37.175 --> 01:15:40.614 I would just email the addons@brilliantdirectories.com 1225 01:15:40.614 --> 01:15:40.775 here 1226 01:15:41.770 --> 01:15:43.530 Okay. And just let them know that, 1227 01:15:44.489 --> 01:15:46.270 you're getting an install message 1228 01:15:46.650 --> 01:15:48.730 in your admin, and it's and it's not, 1229 01:15:49.290 --> 01:15:50.909 doesn't look like it's doing anything. 1230 01:15:52.090 --> 01:15:52.590 Okay. 1231 01:15:52.969 --> 01:15:56.010 Yeah. Well, that's that's very quick, quick answer there. 1232 01:15:56.010 --> 01:15:59.935 So, yeah, yeah, but I've been having trouble with all of them. So they they just started coming on. 1233 01:15:59.935 --> 01:16:03.055 Yeah. It looks like it just yeah. I just clicked install. It looks like that. 1234 01:16:03.055 --> 01:16:05.715 I never saw the install here, but that looks like it, 1235 01:16:06.175 --> 01:16:09.155 worked. Yeah. And then you're interested in using this add on now? 1236 01:16:09.909 --> 01:16:13.929 Yeah. No. I got I have a number of members on there that have multiple 1237 01:16:14.550 --> 01:16:15.530 multiple accounts, 1238 01:16:16.070 --> 01:16:16.469 and, 1239 01:16:16.949 --> 01:16:20.469 I just don't know how to get it started. Pat, can I pass that one over to you? 1240 01:16:20.469 --> 01:16:22.305 I know you're an expert with this add on. 1241 01:16:22.785 --> 01:16:25.265 So that one is our it's installed. He's ready to go? 1242 01:16:25.265 --> 01:16:27.365 It it's it shows that it's active and installed. 1243 01:16:28.145 --> 01:16:30.625 Alright. Let's if you want to, 1244 01:16:31.265 --> 01:16:35.445 Let's do it. Alright. Let me know when to pass it on over to you. We can help Dan out here. 1245 01:16:36.240 --> 01:16:40.720 Alright. Just give me one moment. Just wanna verify that he has everything over here. There. 1246 01:16:40.720 --> 01:16:44.980 It looks good. Right. Alright. Those sub accounts. Alright. I'm gonna pass that over to you, Pat. 1247 01:16:46.240 --> 01:16:49.620 Okay. So what I did is I verified that it was in fact installed. 1248 01:16:49.840 --> 01:16:53.845 This is a feature on Brilliant Directories, so you can see it here, the subaccounts. 1249 01:16:54.625 --> 01:16:56.485 I've seen people rename this, 1250 01:16:56.864 --> 01:17:01.525 different names. You can do that if you want. You don't have to call it subaccounts. 1251 01:17:01.665 --> 01:17:07.700 Bear in mind what you call it here is what your members are going to see. So I've seen additional 1252 01:17:08.160 --> 01:17:08.660 accounts. 1253 01:17:09.120 --> 01:17:11.380 I've seen it been named additional locations, 1254 01:17:12.320 --> 01:17:13.380 additional offices, 1255 01:17:14.240 --> 01:17:16.755 additional you can really change the name here. 1256 01:17:16.835 --> 01:17:21.074 What we recommend doing is only changing the name in this particular area in general settings. 1257 01:17:21.074 --> 01:17:25.895 So is there something you'd like to call it? Yes. Leave it at additional account sets. That's good. 1258 01:17:25.955 --> 01:17:28.375 Alright. Great. So we'll go ahead and save that. 1259 01:17:34.860 --> 01:17:39.760 And what I like most about this particular add on is that this is something you can really monetize. 1260 01:17:40.220 --> 01:17:43.920 It's a feature and you're able to control how many additional accounts 1261 01:17:44.485 --> 01:17:48.745 your customers are able to add. So we're gonna go into the company employer. 1262 01:17:49.205 --> 01:17:50.585 We're gonna click on edit. 1263 01:17:52.165 --> 01:17:57.525 And in the post publishing tab, we're gonna now see a feature that's called additional accounts. 1264 01:17:57.525 --> 01:18:04.570 So if we want to allow we're gonna turn this off after we show you, but if we wanna allow them to add additional accounts, we just check this box. 1265 01:18:04.790 --> 01:18:10.470 But if we wanna limit how many additional accounts they can add, all we need to do is control that here. 1266 01:18:10.470 --> 01:18:17.365 So you can say everybody's allowed to add one additional account of this particular tier, and that tier costs x amount of dollars. 1267 01:18:18.225 --> 01:18:22.165 Okay. So we're gonna go ahead and save that just, for this example. 1268 01:18:22.785 --> 01:18:23.285 K. 1269 01:18:26.190 --> 01:18:27.310 And and just a note. 1270 01:18:27.310 --> 01:18:34.130 So, those of you who are not familiar with this, multi member, manager add on, it allows one member 1271 01:18:34.430 --> 01:18:36.130 on your website to create 1272 01:18:36.590 --> 01:18:41.675 additional alternate members on your website that each have their own individual profiles. 1273 01:18:42.054 --> 01:18:44.715 And those profiles can have different business names, 1274 01:18:45.175 --> 01:18:51.275 phone numbers, addresses, totally different information, but it'll be, managed by that master account. 1275 01:18:52.470 --> 01:18:53.110 That's correct. 1276 01:18:53.110 --> 01:19:00.470 And what they what they do when you give them access to this is it's gonna show up the same way a coupon or an event or a job listing would appear. 1277 01:19:00.470 --> 01:19:03.850 So what we'll do is we'll click on add additional account. 1278 01:19:05.615 --> 01:19:09.715 And what this does is it literally is creating an additional account 1279 01:19:10.575 --> 01:19:14.275 on your website. So when you go to your members section 1280 01:19:15.695 --> 01:19:16.835 and they've completed 1281 01:19:17.830 --> 01:19:19.370 creating that additional account, 1282 01:19:19.830 --> 01:19:22.650 your system will identify that as its own account. 1283 01:19:22.949 --> 01:19:27.530 It'll be linked to the parent account and the master account will always be able to edit it, 1284 01:19:27.830 --> 01:19:30.890 but it is literally a second account in the directory. 1285 01:19:31.215 --> 01:19:39.614 So if people if there's a an account that's in California and another one that's in, Florida and somebody searches for Florida, only the one in Florida would display. 1286 01:19:39.614 --> 01:19:43.554 So so it's a way for them to manage multiple accounts at once. 1287 01:19:44.094 --> 01:19:44.594 Okay. 1288 01:19:47.640 --> 01:19:49.420 How about if they got, like, 10 accounts? 1289 01:19:50.520 --> 01:19:52.280 That's fine. And we've we've seen that. 1290 01:19:52.280 --> 01:19:56.620 And, for example, I love the example Jason gave in one of our earlier webinars. 1291 01:19:57.160 --> 01:20:00.860 And, for example, if it's a cleaning directory and you you wanna hire, 1292 01:20:01.160 --> 01:20:01.660 cleaners 1293 01:20:02.175 --> 01:20:05.715 and you can run into a company that has a lot of cleaners 1294 01:20:06.095 --> 01:20:11.235 on their staff, you could sell them this and say, hey. Put all of your cleaners in the database. 1295 01:20:12.015 --> 01:20:15.155 That way, they'll also appear in search results, but your email 1296 01:20:15.520 --> 01:20:17.600 will be the email that gets all of the leads. 1297 01:20:17.600 --> 01:20:21.940 So your single company has now multiplied by 25 in our directory, 1298 01:20:22.480 --> 01:20:26.659 and you can buy this package at this much per month or this much per year. 1299 01:20:26.719 --> 01:20:31.725 So it's a great way to go to larger companies that have staff and give them strategies on how they can benefit 1300 01:20:32.105 --> 01:20:35.245 and increase the amount of leads they can generate on your particular website. 1301 01:20:35.705 --> 01:20:41.005 So for the company that I have several companies I have and they've got existing accounts, I can merge them now? 1302 01:20:42.550 --> 01:20:45.050 There's no there's no merging functionality. 1303 01:20:46.150 --> 01:20:54.090 I believe if you I believe if you it's a little it's a little technical, but in the, in the user's data table in the database, 1304 01:20:54.595 --> 01:20:58.675 it's controlled by something that's called the parent ID. That would Yeah. 1305 01:20:58.675 --> 01:21:02.435 We we made that a setting. If you go into the actions tab so yes. 1306 01:21:02.435 --> 01:21:05.255 So, Dan, you can change who the parent 1307 01:21:05.555 --> 01:21:12.120 account is. Wow. So if you go on quick edit so all your members have IDs. So this member is 3605. 1308 01:21:12.420 --> 01:21:14.120 Click on listing settings, 1309 01:21:15.540 --> 01:21:19.640 and now because this add on is enabled see the parent ID? It says 0. 1310 01:21:20.205 --> 01:21:23.565 You can Wow. You can manually change the parent ID. 1311 01:21:23.565 --> 01:21:30.685 So if you need to start moving people around or remove a parent, you can always set it to zero or blank, and that will remove the parent access. 1312 01:21:30.685 --> 01:21:37.680 So you just need to know what the member's parent ID is that you want to associate the, I guess, the child accounts to. 1313 01:21:38.620 --> 01:21:40.800 Alright. I can play with that tonight. Thanks. 1314 01:21:41.180 --> 01:21:43.820 It's an amazing setting, Jason. This comes up quite a bit. 1315 01:21:43.820 --> 01:21:47.440 I'll give you an example of a a law firm that adds all of their lawyers. 1316 01:21:47.765 --> 01:21:51.785 And when lawyer's leaving the law firm, they don't necessarily wanna delete his account. 1317 01:21:51.925 --> 01:21:54.025 They're still he's leaving on good terms. 1318 01:21:54.085 --> 01:22:00.165 So all you'd have to do is remove the parent ID, and it would now become an independent account that they'd be able to manage on their own. 1319 01:22:00.165 --> 01:22:02.250 So that's an amazing feature you've added there. 1320 01:22:02.730 --> 01:22:03.230 Nice. 1321 01:22:03.930 --> 01:22:07.070 Awesome. Well, thank you. Alright. Glad to help, Dan. 1322 01:22:07.850 --> 01:22:15.310 I mean, remove the setting, Dan, that I've enabled just to make sure that, you can test that before, making that live for all of your members. 1323 01:22:16.755 --> 01:22:18.114 Alright. I see a, 1324 01:22:18.675 --> 01:22:23.815 while you're doing that, Pat, I see a new name here, Yolani. Yolani, are you with us? 1325 01:22:24.755 --> 01:22:25.255 Hello. 1326 01:22:25.715 --> 01:22:27.735 Hi, Yolani.

Great. 1330 01:22:33.850 --> 01:22:35.150 Is this your first webinar 1331 01:22:35.610 --> 01:22:36.270 with us? 1332 01:22:37.210 --> 01:22:41.205 Yes. Yes.

How did you like the webinar so far? 1335 01:22:48.085 --> 01:22:52.105 Oh, we are having a little fun. We're very excited about the directory. 1336 01:22:52.485 --> 01:22:54.780 Okay. Great. Great. What's your question for us today? 1337 01:22:55.659 --> 01:22:56.880 Yes. We were wondering 1338 01:22:57.500 --> 01:22:59.039 on the main page, 1339 01:23:00.059 --> 01:23:02.159 there is the about us. 1340 01:23:02.460 --> 01:23:04.880 We noticed that there are some other 1341 01:23:05.340 --> 01:23:08.880 people that instead of the about us, they have placed a video. 1342 01:23:10.054 --> 01:23:11.114 So we were wondering 1343 01:23:11.495 --> 01:23:14.155 if we can do that and how we can do that. 1344 01:23:15.574 --> 01:23:19.094 You know, I never thought about it, but, actually, I think there's a very easy way to do that. 1345 01:23:19.094 --> 01:23:21.435 What's can I check out your site? We can do it together. 1346 01:23:22.760 --> 01:23:27.320 Yeah. Well, we haven't launched yet. We're just building it. So That's okay. 1347 01:23:27.640 --> 01:23:29.500 Is there a name I can find it by? 1348 01:23:29.960 --> 01:23:31.739 We call it Mucho Gusto. 1349 01:23:34.440 --> 01:23:34.940 Okay. 1350 01:23:36.200 --> 01:23:36.700 Fantastic. 1351 01:23:38.175 --> 01:23:42.014 Fantastic name here. Alright. So let me show everyone what you're referring to. 1352 01:23:42.014 --> 01:23:43.554 Let me go to your home page. 1353 01:23:45.775 --> 01:23:46.275 So, 1354 01:23:47.454 --> 01:23:49.454 this is muchogusto.biz. 1355 01:23:49.454 --> 01:23:53.155 And if we scroll down, first of all, great job translating, 1356 01:23:53.750 --> 01:23:54.650 into Spanish. 1357 01:23:57.270 --> 01:23:58.730 You're referring to, 1358 01:23:59.110 --> 01:24:03.770 this this is a join and about modules that come with a a lot of the sites. Correct? 1359 01:24:04.469 --> 01:24:05.610 Yeah. Okay. 1360 01:24:05.845 --> 01:24:11.305 So you're wondering, like, how do you this maybe this one we change and we keep this one? 1361 01:24:12.805 --> 01:24:19.410 Yeah. The about us, we wonder if we can place a video there, like an explainer explainer video. Yep. 1362 01:24:19.410 --> 01:24:22.150 I think we can. I just wanna check one thing here. 1363 01:24:24.050 --> 01:24:27.910 Yeah. Okay. I'm just checking the size here like a tailor taking measurements. 1364 01:24:28.530 --> 01:24:33.114 Five twenty two. Alright. So first thing we wanna do is we can go to the design settings. 1365 01:24:33.114 --> 01:24:36.074 You know, I thought this was super complicated, but actually it's not. 1366 01:24:36.074 --> 01:24:40.655 I was trying to think of ways to do it. But the moment you started talking, I think this will work. 1367 01:24:41.114 --> 01:24:42.255 So fingers crossed. 1368 01:24:42.635 --> 01:24:44.895 What we can do is we can delete the title. 1369 01:24:45.275 --> 01:24:46.735 Is that okay if I do that? 1370 01:24:47.400 --> 01:24:52.140 Yes. Okay. Delete the title, delete the text, and delete the link here. 1371 01:24:52.840 --> 01:24:54.060 Let's go to YouTube, 1372 01:24:55.080 --> 01:24:56.060 and Okay. 1373 01:24:56.920 --> 01:24:59.160 And we can I'm just gonna take, 1374 01:24:59.960 --> 01:25:04.014 any video for now, but you can see how we're how we're doing this. 1375 01:25:06.395 --> 01:25:07.695 So let's take 1376 01:25:09.594 --> 01:25:11.295 whatever this is, any video. 1377 01:25:11.995 --> 01:25:14.820 You know, YouTube really wants me to listen to this dead mouse guy. 1378 01:25:16.179 --> 01:25:17.400 I just keep seeing, 1379 01:25:17.780 --> 01:25:22.820 videos here. So what I'm gonna do is let me let me copy the YouTube video. Let me go share. 1380 01:25:22.820 --> 01:25:25.079 This is very standard stuff. We get the embed, 1381 01:25:26.020 --> 01:25:28.199 and I'll go ahead and copy this. 1382 01:25:29.085 --> 01:25:31.344 Are you familiar with embedding YouTube videos? 1383 01:25:32.364 --> 01:25:36.465 Yes. Okay. So all I'm gonna do is take the code that YouTube has given, 1384 01:25:37.005 --> 01:25:40.305 and I'm gonna try two things. One is I'm just gonna paste that here. 1385 01:25:41.005 --> 01:25:42.305 Let's just see what happens. 1386 01:25:42.820 --> 01:25:45.640 I might have to do something else, but we'll let's see what happens 1387 01:25:46.500 --> 01:25:47.239 with this. 1388 01:25:49.860 --> 01:25:54.360 If it's this easy, this is gonna be great. We refresh your home page. 1389 01:26:01.184 --> 01:26:02.005 Boom. Video. 1390 01:26:03.264 --> 01:26:07.525 Oh, what? Let's party. Party, Ethan. Alright. Okay. Very nice, Jason. 1391 01:26:08.625 --> 01:26:12.840 So, obviously, you don't want that mouse, on your home page. That's okay. 1392 01:26:13.000 --> 01:26:15.179 You can find the video that, you want. 1393 01:26:17.080 --> 01:26:22.360 Great. Thank you. You're welcome. Also, be careful of the images you're using here. 1394 01:26:22.360 --> 01:26:23.660 I see that they're stretching. 1395 01:26:24.945 --> 01:26:28.065 We are those are not the ones we use them. Okay. 1396 01:26:28.705 --> 01:26:31.125 I tell you today, we were shopping the images. 1397 01:26:31.665 --> 01:26:32.805 It's sort of stuff. 1398 01:26:33.745 --> 01:26:38.485 Because we have not launched yet. We're still working on the 1399 01:26:39.640 --> 01:26:41.260 on the, concept. 1400 01:26:42.440 --> 01:26:45.980 We wanna do a business directory. We know that for sure. 1401 01:26:46.600 --> 01:26:51.555 But I think we kinda cut a little bit, and we gotta build the traffic too. 1402 01:26:52.435 --> 01:26:54.615 And then how do we build the traffic 1403 01:26:55.475 --> 01:26:57.415 and but it's a business directory, 1404 01:26:58.435 --> 01:27:02.135 and then we we cannot spend in time in Well, you said 1405 01:27:02.515 --> 01:27:05.975 this is this is targeting a a specific local area? 1406 01:27:07.120 --> 01:27:09.380 Yeah. That's gonna be in Panama City, Panama. 1407 01:27:09.840 --> 01:27:13.940 And it's a so it's a biz business directory for Panama City, Panama. 1408 01:27:14.720 --> 01:27:17.060 Right. What I wanna target, like, 1409 01:27:17.520 --> 01:27:20.235 growing business. Like, people like us. The 1410 01:27:20.715 --> 01:27:23.695 they're a small, medium sized company that are growing, 1411 01:27:24.315 --> 01:27:27.295 and they don't have a big budget in 1412 01:27:27.755 --> 01:27:31.935 placing ads in TV or mass media and things like that. 1413 01:27:32.250 --> 01:27:35.150 So they they gonna enjoy having more visibility 1414 01:27:35.610 --> 01:27:37.710 online in a place that they can 1415 01:27:38.170 --> 01:27:39.869 contact prospect clients. 1416 01:27:41.289 --> 01:27:43.789 Well, you just brought up something amazing. 1417 01:27:45.445 --> 01:27:47.225 So we're launching this month, 1418 01:27:47.844 --> 01:27:50.905 a local travel guide theme, a demo, 1419 01:27:51.364 --> 01:27:55.445 which is going to be, you know, all our all our themes mixed together. 1420 01:27:55.445 --> 01:28:00.185 You can you can add or remove whatever features you want, but these are great starting points. 1421 01:28:01.020 --> 01:28:02.000 What we learned 1422 01:28:02.460 --> 01:28:02.960 for 1423 01:28:04.059 --> 01:28:05.360 local business directories, 1424 01:28:06.219 --> 01:28:09.040 in many cases, you can just have like a Yellow Pages 1425 01:28:09.739 --> 01:28:13.840 site for a specific area, and you finish. You have to search on the homepage, 1426 01:28:14.219 --> 01:28:15.199 and it's done. 1427 01:28:15.885 --> 01:28:21.905 But now a lot of website visitors and you just said a big word, you want to drive traffic to your website. 1428 01:28:22.285 --> 01:28:23.665 And when you drive traffic, 1429 01:28:24.285 --> 01:28:29.355 then the businesses will want to join your website. It's all part of a Right. Formula. 1430 01:28:29.880 --> 01:28:35.020 So what we're gonna release later is a travel guide theme, and it focuses on, 1431 01:28:36.280 --> 01:28:40.540 content that you can create. You don't need a lot of content, but it's gonna make the homepage 1432 01:28:40.920 --> 01:28:42.620 look more appealing 1433 01:28:43.195 --> 01:28:45.855 towards the people that might wanna come to Panama City. 1434 01:28:46.235 --> 01:28:49.935 So you can have a few articles. You would need to write a few articles, obviously, 1435 01:28:50.715 --> 01:28:54.335 on, like, top 10 places for families in Panama City. 1436 01:28:55.220 --> 01:29:00.440 You know, to, you know, how to spend three days in Panama City, like, the a checklist. 1437 01:29:00.500 --> 01:29:01.880 So you create some articles, 1438 01:29:03.300 --> 01:29:08.440 and you can create some news. And it's easy because it's Panama City. You can look for events, 1439 01:29:08.845 --> 01:29:13.025 and you can publish events that are happening in in Panama City yourself, 1440 01:29:13.645 --> 01:29:18.225 because you just can look what's online and put it on the website. And now you you have a website 1441 01:29:18.685 --> 01:29:22.065 that looks like it's for Panama City, and it will be easier 1442 01:29:22.605 --> 01:29:25.230 to get the businesses to sign up. 1443 01:29:25.690 --> 01:29:26.590 So my recommendation 1444 01:29:26.970 --> 01:29:27.790 for you 1445 01:29:28.490 --> 01:29:30.030 is maybe you don't have 1446 01:29:30.490 --> 01:29:30.990 classifieds, 1447 01:29:31.610 --> 01:29:32.110 coupons, 1448 01:29:32.570 --> 01:29:34.350 gallery, photo, video. 1449 01:29:34.970 --> 01:29:36.910 Maybe you cut it back 1450 01:29:37.290 --> 01:29:38.430 to events, 1451 01:29:39.925 --> 01:29:41.625 news, and business directory, 1452 01:29:41.925 --> 01:29:45.145 or maybe coupons too. Four things instead of everything. 1453 01:29:45.445 --> 01:29:48.265 Okay. That will that will simplify 1454 01:29:49.685 --> 01:29:53.705 your your your website and make it easier for you and your husband 1455 01:29:54.150 --> 01:29:56.090 to actually get this off the ground. 1456 01:29:56.870 --> 01:30:02.650 And we're going to be emailing everyone when the travel guide theme is is ready to be released. 1457 01:30:03.190 --> 01:30:04.950 And, again, there's nothing fancy about it. 1458 01:30:04.950 --> 01:30:07.690 It's just the way that it brings certain types of content 1459 01:30:08.135 --> 01:30:13.755 to the front of the website for the website visitor. So it's it really focuses on better navigation 1460 01:30:14.295 --> 01:30:17.195 for a local business directory website, in my opinion. 1461 01:30:18.055 --> 01:30:18.555 Okay. 1462 01:30:19.015 --> 01:30:19.515 Okay? 1463 01:30:19.895 --> 01:30:21.275 Thank you for the input. 1464 01:30:21.780 --> 01:30:25.720 So, yeah, a lot of times you can save a lot of time by removing 1465 01:30:26.260 --> 01:30:28.340 features that you don't need right away. 1466 01:30:28.340 --> 01:30:36.100 That's always a good tip for any project in life, actually, is do you really need everything that's in your head on on phase one? 1467 01:30:36.100 --> 01:30:36.600 So, 1468 01:30:37.385 --> 01:30:41.405 that will save you guys a lot of time so you can go live to the public a lot faster. 1469 01:30:42.585 --> 01:30:43.085 Okay. 1470 01:30:43.545 --> 01:30:46.045 Alright?

I think you take one or, two more questions 1477 01:31:01.190 --> 01:31:01.690 here. 1478 01:31:02.470 --> 01:31:05.210 I see a a new name here. I could be wrong. Shavar. 1479 01:31:05.955 --> 01:31:13.415 There we go. Shavar. Is that correct pronunciation, Shavar? Yes. That's right. Shavar. Yeah. 1480 01:31:13.475 --> 01:31:15.575 Alright. How can we help you today, Shavar? 1481 01:31:17.315 --> 01:31:17.635 Yeah. 1482 01:31:18.275 --> 01:31:21.155 I I was watching a while ago, and I saw you guys, 1483 01:31:22.170 --> 01:31:23.390 showing the multi 1484 01:31:24.010 --> 01:31:25.630 what? Multi members 1485 01:31:26.570 --> 01:31:27.950 Manager. Sign up feature. 1486 01:31:28.650 --> 01:31:33.630 Yeah. Is that an add on we all get, or we have to get it separated? 1487 01:31:34.425 --> 01:31:38.925 It's it's one of the ways we keep the lights on here at Brilliant Directories. It is an add on. 1488 01:31:40.105 --> 01:31:43.625 I always recommend if if you're thinking you want two or three add ons, 1489 01:31:44.025 --> 01:31:46.744 join the VIP add ons club. That way you get everything, 1490 01:31:47.065 --> 01:31:47.565 regardless. 1491 01:31:48.380 --> 01:31:50.720 But that would be here on our add ons page. 1492 01:31:51.740 --> 01:31:52.240 And 1493 01:31:52.620 --> 01:31:57.100 let me there's there's two of them. One of them is we get a lot of questions about this. 1494 01:31:57.100 --> 01:31:58.220 It's probably our fault. 1495 01:31:58.780 --> 01:32:03.280 What's the difference between multi location listings and multi listing 1496 01:32:03.735 --> 01:32:04.235 manager. 1497 01:32:05.335 --> 01:32:09.755 I'll explain the difference. Is it okay if I explain the difference between these two for you? 1498 01:32:11.495 --> 01:32:12.715 Mhmm. Okay. 1499 01:32:13.175 --> 01:32:14.875 I'll start with the first one, 1500 01:32:15.255 --> 01:32:17.355 multi location listings. So, 1501 01:32:18.010 --> 01:32:22.030 let's say, you have members. They only need one profile, 1502 01:32:23.130 --> 01:32:29.310 but let's say I'm a lawyer in Los Angeles, but I can also practice law in New York, 1503 01:32:30.090 --> 01:32:32.750 or in other cities of of California. 1504 01:32:33.635 --> 01:32:39.815 The multi location listings allows me to select additional places that I will travel to, 1505 01:32:40.435 --> 01:32:42.055 with one with one account. 1506 01:32:43.395 --> 01:32:50.810 The multi listing manager lets you create multiple accounts with their own profile picture, their own phone numbers, their own addresses. 1507 01:32:50.870 --> 01:32:52.810 So the multi listing manager, 1508 01:32:53.590 --> 01:32:58.250 I think has a lot more value, but is not always necessary. It's sometimes it's overkill. 1509 01:32:59.675 --> 01:33:03.275 So depending on who the types of people are that are joining your website, 1510 01:33:03.835 --> 01:33:06.335 you can decide if multi location listings 1511 01:33:07.755 --> 01:33:11.615 is what you need or the the the multi listing manager. 1512 01:33:14.350 --> 01:33:18.370 Yeah.

Alright. 1532 01:34:07.850 --> 01:34:08.350 If 1533 01:34:09.290 --> 01:34:10.350 if you go to, 1534 01:34:11.130 --> 01:34:11.869 my website, 1535 01:34:12.489 --> 01:34:15.070 elegantlivingdirectory.com, 1536 01:34:15.610 --> 01:34:17.550 I would like to remove 1537 01:34:18.995 --> 01:34:19.895 the paid 1538 01:34:20.435 --> 01:34:20.935 advertisements 1539 01:34:22.595 --> 01:34:23.415 and put 1540 01:34:25.235 --> 01:34:25.895 my own 1541 01:34:28.355 --> 01:34:32.855 website banners, like, on the sides or wherever you see the paid advertisements 1542 01:34:33.395 --> 01:34:36.500 coming up. How would I do that? Great question. 1543 01:34:37.280 --> 01:34:39.860 First, let's get to a page with some advertisements. 1544 01:34:41.600 --> 01:34:45.940 So okay. We can see some Okay. All of them. Yeah. Here's some Google Ads here. 1545 01:34:46.945 --> 01:34:47.445 Okay. 1546 01:34:48.385 --> 01:34:49.845 So what you can do is 1547 01:34:50.465 --> 01:34:52.485 you can go to your design settings, 1548 01:34:56.065 --> 01:34:57.605 and I'll just let this page 1549 01:34:57.985 --> 01:34:58.485 load. 1550 01:34:59.400 --> 01:34:59.900 And 1551 01:35:00.360 --> 01:35:04.120 under your banner ad design, this is really where where you'll control it. 1552 01:35:04.120 --> 01:35:08.300 So you've already done the important thing. You've enabled banner ads. That's set to yes. 1553 01:35:09.080 --> 01:35:09.580 Generally, 1554 01:35:10.040 --> 01:35:12.860 for the sidebars, you just need sidebar one. 1555 01:35:13.505 --> 01:35:19.025 And if you wanna use your own image, I'm just gonna show you how to do it and then I'm gonna revert it back. 1556 01:35:19.025 --> 01:35:21.105 But let me just show you how you would do it. 1557 01:35:21.105 --> 01:35:26.005 So with a banner ad, you need an image and you need a link for it to go somewhere. 1558 01:35:26.460 --> 01:35:26.960 So, 1559 01:35:27.740 --> 01:35:31.040 let's say you sell a space or you wanna use the space yourself, 1560 01:35:31.980 --> 01:35:34.720 generally, you would upload the image you want to use. 1561 01:35:35.580 --> 01:35:38.300 Oh, looks like there's an I think we've been seeing this error today. 1562 01:35:38.300 --> 01:35:40.275 I think the team is is on top of that. 1563 01:35:41.315 --> 01:35:43.335 But let me find an image on your site 1564 01:35:44.515 --> 01:35:47.495 just to use one. Give me a moment. Let this load. 1565 01:35:49.315 --> 01:35:51.895 Okay. I'm just gonna grab a random image here. 1566 01:35:56.210 --> 01:35:58.550 Okay. So we'll use this one. And 1567 01:35:59.170 --> 01:36:03.830 just for fun, we'll I'll I'll revert it back. We will link to the site 1568 01:36:04.450 --> 01:36:05.670 for just a moment, 1569 01:36:06.130 --> 01:36:07.590 and I'll save the changes. 1570 01:36:09.415 --> 01:36:13.435 So, obviously, you wanna upload an image that kinda looks like a banner advertisement. 1571 01:36:13.575 --> 01:36:15.755 You can design that however you like. 1572 01:36:16.055 --> 01:36:20.475 And if we come back, to your site, Wendy, and I'll I'll refresh the page. 1573 01:36:21.770 --> 01:36:23.710 So now we have this image here, 1574 01:36:24.970 --> 01:36:30.410 and I'll go ahead and click on this image, and it's taking us to the muchogusto.biz. 1575 01:36:30.410 --> 01:36:34.670 So very, very easily, we've the hard part is designing the banner ad 1576 01:36:35.285 --> 01:36:37.625 the way you want it to suit your website. So, 1577 01:36:38.325 --> 01:36:45.125 once you have the image you wanna use, it's very easy to add the image to your site and then link it to wherever you wanna link it to. 1578 01:36:45.125 --> 01:36:46.905 Some people create banner ads 1579 01:36:47.580 --> 01:36:50.800 that actually link people to where they can sign up on their own website. 1580 01:36:51.179 --> 01:36:55.820 Like, tired of browsing? Let's get started. And then click here to join our website. 1581 01:36:55.820 --> 01:36:59.280 So they create I I guess they're like internal banner ads. 1582 01:37:00.540 --> 01:37:02.080 So that's how you would do it. 1583 01:37:03.795 --> 01:37:06.455 Okay. I'm gonna go ahead I'm gonna go ahead and 1584 01:37:06.835 --> 01:37:09.495 delete that. Yeah. Go ahead. We could take one more question. 1585 01:37:10.755 --> 01:37:15.094 One more quick question. I created a landing page last week 1586 01:37:16.550 --> 01:37:18.329 with the code that you used. 1587 01:37:19.269 --> 01:37:19.769 And 1588 01:37:20.230 --> 01:37:25.829 so now what do I do with it other than drive traffic to it? I know it sits 1589 01:37:26.630 --> 01:37:30.885 that's it. How we could vote? I know it sits in the directory, 1590 01:37:31.505 --> 01:37:32.005 but 1591 01:37:32.705 --> 01:37:36.465 is that all it does? I mean Well, to be honest, I'm not 1592 01:37:37.265 --> 01:37:41.525 it's not something that comes up unless you actually 1593 01:37:42.100 --> 01:37:43.640 put the link in. Right? 1594 01:37:44.500 --> 01:37:46.920 Correct. Some people sing to their landing pages. 1595 01:37:47.060 --> 01:37:51.320 Some people take their landing pages out for dinner and ask them to perform better. 1596 01:37:52.739 --> 01:37:53.060 No. 1597 01:37:53.060 --> 01:37:59.695 But as Patrick as Patrick mentioned and if you were in the earlier part of the webinar when we were creating that lead magnet page, 1598 01:38:00.315 --> 01:38:05.375 I said, Patrick, how do you get people to the the the landing page? So Facebook, 1599 01:38:05.915 --> 01:38:08.335 is a great way to do it because you can, 1600 01:38:09.515 --> 01:38:16.130 you can you can post a link to this page in Facebook and then drive targeted traffic based on gender, 1601 01:38:16.430 --> 01:38:16.930 age, 1602 01:38:17.310 --> 01:38:17.810 interests, 1603 01:38:18.750 --> 01:38:22.210 and things like that, and drive people to this page, from Facebook. 1604 01:38:22.590 --> 01:38:26.270 You obviously want you you wanna start with a small budget until you do some testing. 1605 01:38:26.270 --> 01:38:30.935 The last thing you wanna do is waste more money before you know the page is performing well or not. 1606 01:38:30.935 --> 01:38:34.635 So always test ad ad campaigns with a small budget first, 1607 01:38:35.015 --> 01:38:39.115 so you know that they will do well. If you're not gonna use Facebook, his recommendation 1608 01:38:39.575 --> 01:38:40.875 was to find alternate 1609 01:38:42.280 --> 01:38:51.260 social media platforms or other websites where your potential members hang out and try to get links to this landing page on those, platforms. 1610 01:38:52.280 --> 01:38:56.940 Yeah. I was going to ask that because we have people that don't even 1611 01:38:57.345 --> 01:38:59.445 want to be a part of social media. 1612 01:38:59.825 --> 01:39:04.725 So how do you work with those So that's so that would be a case where email marketing, 1613 01:39:05.505 --> 01:39:06.805 might might be good. 1614 01:39:07.345 --> 01:39:12.300 So if you have an email list, you can invite people to come to the landing page from the email list. 1615 01:39:12.300 --> 01:39:15.280 Now granted that assumes you have their email address, 1616 01:39:16.219 --> 01:39:21.840 but if you have no way of connecting with these people through email or through websites or online forums, 1617 01:39:22.619 --> 01:39:26.755 nothing hurts picking up the phone, going door to door, trying to get information, 1618 01:39:27.295 --> 01:39:30.595 going to local events, and having a booth at a farmer's market. 1619 01:39:31.055 --> 01:39:33.635 You know, at that point, you're you're talking about grassroots, 1620 01:39:34.175 --> 01:39:34.675 things. 1621 01:39:35.455 --> 01:39:39.635 Right. Okay. Thank you. Alright. Thank you for sharing your site with us. 1622 01:39:40.350 --> 01:39:40.850 Okay. 1623 01:39:41.790 --> 01:39:44.850 Alright, guys. Thank you very much, Wendy.
