Well, this is episode 70, so we've been doing it for quite some time now. 36 00:02:12.065 --> 00:02:20.885 And it's really a great venue and place to talk about marketing strategy for your membership website, especially because everyone has such different ideas. 37 00:02:21.345 --> 00:02:26.245 We can talk about it both on a very specific level and on a global level for your online 38 00:02:26.590 --> 00:02:27.090 community. 39 00:02:27.390 --> 00:02:31.969 These days it's very easy to launch a website using themes, templates, and whatnot, 40 00:02:32.510 --> 00:02:35.409 but really growing a community does require some strategy 41 00:02:36.030 --> 00:02:40.370 and focus on your website. So we cover topics such as increasing your traffic, 42 00:02:40.675 --> 00:02:42.775 how to convert visitors into paying members, 43 00:02:43.075 --> 00:02:43.575 identifying 44 00:02:43.955 --> 00:02:49.735 revenue opportunities for your specific industry, and one of my favorites is how to improve your website's navigation 45 00:02:50.115 --> 00:02:54.275 to make it easier to get people to do what you want them to do on your website. 46 00:02:54.275 --> 00:02:58.000 Whether it's fill out a form, click a button, sign up for something. 47 00:02:58.140 --> 00:03:01.120 The navigation, I feel, is one of the most important things, 48 00:03:01.660 --> 00:03:06.080 and can help you with your conversion. So if you got questions on any of these topics, 49 00:03:06.380 --> 00:03:10.080 jot them down, save them. We're gonna get to them in just a few moments. 50 00:03:11.525 --> 00:03:15.305 Alright. As always, we have a small handful of BD 51 00:03:15.845 --> 00:03:16.565 lab updates. 52 00:03:16.565 --> 00:03:21.385 These guys in the development department and the customer support department are always identifying, 53 00:03:22.085 --> 00:03:26.310 new things that we can do to improve and add to the software. A lot of them are thanks 54 00:03:27.030 --> 00:03:29.530 to you guys and the recommendations you make in the Facebook group. 55 00:03:29.750 --> 00:03:32.410 So today we're just gonna show a couple of them here. 56 00:03:32.790 --> 00:03:35.530 The first one is the ability to now 57 00:03:35.910 --> 00:03:42.250 sort your member search results by random order, and I'm gonna show you where you can edit this. 58 00:03:43.165 --> 00:03:46.865 So for the first one, let's hop on over to the dashboard area. 59 00:03:48.765 --> 00:03:49.265 And 60 00:03:49.965 --> 00:03:51.105 under content, 61 00:03:51.805 --> 00:03:53.105 edit post settings, 62 00:03:54.685 --> 00:03:59.610 we're gonna wanna come down to the listing one. It's usually the one closer to the bottom here. 63 00:03:59.610 --> 00:04:00.990 These are your member listings. 64 00:04:03.850 --> 00:04:09.370 And we wanna toggle on over to search results design. So these are your member search results. 65 00:04:09.370 --> 00:04:14.924 These are some settings you can put in here, like how many results per page, and other things like that. 66 00:04:15.385 --> 00:04:17.485 But what we wanna do is come on down, 67 00:04:17.945 --> 00:04:19.084 come on down further, 68 00:04:19.544 --> 00:04:22.125 and order results by. So, 69 00:04:22.745 --> 00:04:24.090 you have some options here. 70 00:04:24.330 --> 00:04:29.050 It will respect the search priority that you've set in the membership level settings. 71 00:04:29.050 --> 00:04:37.425 So if you want your premium members to always show ahead of your lower tiered members or basic members, you certainly can do that and set that in the 72 00:04:37.985 --> 00:04:39.585 settings for each membership level. 73 00:04:39.585 --> 00:04:42.724 But after that, so let's say we're looking at all the premium members, 74 00:04:43.025 --> 00:04:48.164 then how do we want to the default order to be? So it could be by their name a to z, 75 00:04:48.625 --> 00:04:52.004 z to a, it can even be by who has the most reviews, 76 00:04:52.340 --> 00:04:54.440 and there is a new one here random. 77 00:04:54.660 --> 00:05:08.575 And what's really cool about the random was one is if you have premium members and they're all paying you the same amount of money, with the random feature, if they're gonna be, let's say you do a search on a site for, you know, like Los Angeles Doctor or something simple like that. 78 00:05:08.635 --> 00:05:10.655 All the premium members, if it's random, 79 00:05:11.275 --> 00:05:13.375 they're the order they'll show in the results, 80 00:05:13.915 --> 00:05:16.235 will change for each website visitor. 81 00:05:16.235 --> 00:05:19.615 So that'll give everyone an opportunity to be at the top of the results, 82 00:05:20.250 --> 00:05:24.349 at a certain time because the system is just gonna randomly organize those members. 83 00:05:24.410 --> 00:05:31.610 So it's a good way if it's a to z then the person with the letter a in their name is always gonna show at the top even though they're all premium members. 84 00:05:31.610 --> 00:05:37.645 So you may or may not want to take advantage of that option there, but it is there for you and it can help 85 00:05:38.104 --> 00:05:39.245 add a little more 86 00:05:39.705 --> 00:05:44.764 value to your members with the opportunity for them to show at the top of your search results from time to time. 87 00:05:46.530 --> 00:05:52.230 Alright. This, next one is actually a design setting and thanks to our friend Johnny, 88 00:05:52.850 --> 00:05:54.290 in the Facebook group. 89 00:05:54.770 --> 00:05:55.830 It was a request 90 00:05:56.610 --> 00:05:59.910 for a design setting to either show or hide 91 00:06:00.605 --> 00:06:05.725 the totals in the profile page tabs. And let me show you what what I'm referring to here guys. 92 00:06:05.725 --> 00:06:08.385 Let me go to a page. Let me show you what it looks like first, 93 00:06:09.645 --> 00:06:14.545 and then, I could show you how to remove it. So here's somebody's profile page, 94 00:06:15.440 --> 00:06:19.700 and we can see here it says that they have two events and two job postings. 95 00:06:20.320 --> 00:06:23.860 So now there is a setting where you you can choose to hide, 96 00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:25.540 this total number, 97 00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:29.655 on all for on your website for all the member profile pages. 98 00:06:29.655 --> 00:06:33.835 Let me show you where you would do that. And let me start at the dashboard again. 99 00:06:35.175 --> 00:06:42.419 And actually looking at it now, and I've seen it execute used on a couple sites, it actually does help the profile pages look a little cleaner. 100 00:06:42.419 --> 00:06:46.280 How the the count is helpful there. So it really is personal preference. 101 00:06:46.660 --> 00:06:49.060 So this is gonna be in the additional design settings. 102 00:06:49.060 --> 00:06:51.860 And I think I've said this before, we we keep adding so many settings. 103 00:06:51.860 --> 00:06:54.705 We're gonna have to create a whole new module block here to kind of, 104 00:06:55.264 --> 00:06:58.405 separate some of these the settings that correlate to each other. 105 00:06:59.104 --> 00:07:01.985 So over here, we have something called display tab totals. 106 00:07:01.985 --> 00:07:05.905 That's referencing exactly what I showed you, the tabs on the member profile pages. 107 00:07:05.905 --> 00:07:09.444 I'm gonna go ahead and set this to no and save my changes. 108 00:07:13.870 --> 00:07:17.729 And that's done. And just to make sure I see my changes, I'm gonna refresh the cache. 109 00:07:18.990 --> 00:07:25.095 It usually helps expedite changes instead of taking 30. Sometimes it can make it take five seconds. 110 00:07:25.095 --> 00:07:29.755 So look at these numbers here, and I just refreshed the page. So now we don't see the numbers, 111 00:07:30.535 --> 00:07:34.295 next to these tabs events and jobs. It just shows the name. 112 00:07:34.295 --> 00:07:37.910 So this is another way to kind of clean up some of your membership levels. 113 00:07:38.130 --> 00:07:47.270 Or if members aren't posting high volumes of content, they just have one article or one photo album, you know, it's not really helpful to just show the number one or two there. 114 00:07:47.490 --> 00:07:48.790 It's really when 115 00:07:49.155 --> 00:07:54.115 the numbers are much higher that that, a member can feel proud of the content that's in that tab. 116 00:07:54.115 --> 00:07:56.995 So, when your site's just starting out, you might want to, 117 00:07:57.875 --> 00:07:58.915 get rid of those numbers. 118 00:07:58.915 --> 00:08:04.455 And when your site's more seasoned and members have added lots of content, it'll help make their profiles look a bit richer. 119 00:08:04.860 --> 00:08:07.360 You can then definitely go ahead and add that back. 120 00:08:10.540 --> 00:08:12.880 The next one is in reference to, 121 00:08:13.419 --> 00:08:18.615 the chat message, the private chat messages add on. This was an add on we released 122 00:08:18.995 --> 00:08:20.595 a few months ago. Let me just, 123 00:08:21.395 --> 00:08:23.735 alright. So we had this add on. It was released. 124 00:08:24.275 --> 00:08:24.775 And, 125 00:08:26.035 --> 00:08:29.575 what we didn't do, just so we can get it out there quicker, 126 00:08:30.115 --> 00:08:32.919 the actual the colors wouldn't match the theme colors. 127 00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:37.260 It would always just use the default colors, which were a mix of light grays. 128 00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:43.740 But now if you guys are utilizing the chat mess the private chat messages add on, it will match, 129 00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:48.004 the theme colors you've set in your design settings. And I'll show you guys an example here. 130 00:08:48.004 --> 00:08:51.065 We were just testing it, with a site that has darker 131 00:08:51.444 --> 00:08:52.264 colors here. 132 00:08:53.524 --> 00:08:56.745 So before these would these would be like light gray modules, 133 00:08:57.125 --> 00:09:01.470 and it didn't really look good on sites that had contrasting colors like this. 134 00:09:01.690 --> 00:09:03.950 But we can see here now that it is matching, 135 00:09:05.290 --> 00:09:11.530 and you can go ahead and I I love this add on because it lets you directly chat with other members on your site without them leaving. 136 00:09:11.530 --> 00:09:13.390 And every time a message is sent, 137 00:09:13.695 --> 00:09:20.255 they get an email notification with a link so they can just click right back into the chat and respond to the member. 138 00:09:20.255 --> 00:09:22.675 So I'll just do a quick message there, 139 00:09:25.790 --> 00:09:30.770 And it's pretty cool. One of the things I really like about this is it keeps members on your site. 140 00:09:31.070 --> 00:09:35.490 So from an SEO perspective, that's lower bounce rates, more page views, 141 00:09:35.870 --> 00:09:44.555 and all that all those those good, indicators that Google looks at to ensure that your site is is something of value for the people who are visiting it. 142 00:09:44.555 --> 00:09:45.995 So if you're not using the, 143 00:09:46.395 --> 00:09:47.135 chat messages, 144 00:09:47.435 --> 00:09:53.455 you may wanna consider it if your site is open to members and visitors contacting members through your site. 145 00:09:55.860 --> 00:09:59.220 Alright. Cool. Another add on related one, and we also mentioned this. 146 00:09:59.220 --> 00:10:03.320 Lindsey was asking about it in the Facebook group a couple days ago. 147 00:10:03.460 --> 00:10:06.520 The profile cover photo add on is being released 148 00:10:07.015 --> 00:10:11.515 in a week or two, probably closer to a week. Seems to be working fine and smooth. 149 00:10:11.975 --> 00:10:16.555 We are holding a couple things back for a phase two, so we can get this out as quickly as possible. 150 00:10:16.774 --> 00:10:20.340 So, I wanted to show you guys how the profile cover photo add on 151 00:10:20.820 --> 00:10:21.300 works. 152 00:10:21.300 --> 00:10:28.120 And, if you have the VIP add ons club, everything I'm showing you will be available to you right away as soon as the add on is released. 153 00:10:28.260 --> 00:10:32.120 If not, you can always purchase it a la carte and have it added to your site. 154 00:10:33.315 --> 00:10:39.495 So let's dive right into where the settings are. So first, when this is enabled on your site, 155 00:10:40.115 --> 00:10:43.894 just like you choose the members that can have profile photos and 156 00:10:44.195 --> 00:10:49.870 logo photos, you're gonna choose which membership levels can have the profile cover photo. 157 00:10:50.250 --> 00:10:53.390 So let me show you where that's going to be. I'll start again in the dashboard. 158 00:10:54.570 --> 00:11:00.430 And let me do I'm getting a few messages here. Let me send the link to the private member chat also. 159 00:11:00.905 --> 00:11:02.765 A couple people are asking about it. 160 00:11:03.385 --> 00:11:04.985 And let me just do something. 161 00:11:05.465 --> 00:11:07.485 Raise your hand if you are anticipating 162 00:11:07.865 --> 00:11:08.365 the, 163 00:11:09.545 --> 00:11:13.325 the profile cover photo add on. Just go ahead and use the raise your hand feature. 164 00:11:13.385 --> 00:11:18.160 Just wanna get a sense of who's been waiting for this or who's just hearing about it for the first time. 165 00:11:18.300 --> 00:11:23.280 Terry and Tyler and Vijay say they have been waiting for this. Peter and Lindsey 166 00:11:24.380 --> 00:11:27.440 and, Michelle, Jeff, JL. Awesome. 167 00:11:29.065 --> 00:11:35.565 What I think this is gonna do is, I don't think it's absolutely necessary to have this on a directory site, but 168 00:11:36.105 --> 00:11:38.365 the value that it has is it allows 169 00:11:38.985 --> 00:11:45.050 either business members or or personal member profiles to really give their profile pages a personality 170 00:11:45.670 --> 00:11:47.209 and it makes your 171 00:11:47.589 --> 00:11:51.050 directory a little more sticky more of a sticky product. 172 00:11:51.589 --> 00:11:57.144 What that means as a sticky product is they're investing in maybe finding the profile cover. 173 00:11:57.144 --> 00:11:58.764 They're not gonna wanna leave it, 174 00:11:59.625 --> 00:12:01.404 leave your site because they've invested 175 00:12:01.945 --> 00:12:06.600 at adding assets to their profiles, decorating profiles, so they really have a lot to lose 176 00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:08.300 by leaving your directory, 177 00:12:08.680 --> 00:12:11.579 the more that you get them to add content to their directory. 178 00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:17.259 That's one reason it's hard to leave Facebook is you've added all your photos in there from all these years. 179 00:12:17.560 --> 00:12:24.995 Sure you can go and download them 1 x 1 but you're not just gonna switch social media platforms and download all your images and then re upload them. 180 00:12:25.055 --> 00:12:25.955 So they've created, 181 00:12:26.575 --> 00:12:30.515 in that sense a sticky product where it's basically kind of hard to leave. 182 00:12:31.055 --> 00:12:37.160 So this is another way to make your website like a sticky product and add a personal touch. 183 00:12:38.100 --> 00:12:42.440 So good stuff. Let me lower everyone's hands now. Thanks for letting us know. 184 00:12:42.820 --> 00:12:45.320 So what you wanna do is go to manage products. 185 00:12:46.420 --> 00:12:51.375 And once you're there, in this case, we'll edit the premium membership level that we have. 186 00:12:53.775 --> 00:12:56.115 And from here, you want to go to the profile 187 00:12:56.975 --> 00:12:57.475 settings. 188 00:12:58.495 --> 00:13:01.295 So here, as you all know, you can choose if the member can, 189 00:13:03.215 --> 00:13:07.920 have the contact details, enter listing details. But down here are the ones we're used to. 190 00:13:07.920 --> 00:13:09.780 Enable profile photo upload, 191 00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:15.860 enable logo upload, and then here's the new one you're gonna see, enable profile cover photo. 192 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:19.680 So by default it'll be set to no when it's installed on your site. 193 00:13:19.680 --> 00:13:29.735 So So you have to go in there and actually activate it for the membership levels that will have this ability, but you can come here and in one click you can set it to yes, and I'll go ahead and save those changes. 194 00:13:30.195 --> 00:13:34.500 Now for the cool stuff. Let's go to a member's profile page. So let's just go back, 195 00:13:35.940 --> 00:13:38.680 And I'm actually logged in here as this member. 196 00:13:40.020 --> 00:13:41.480 And I'll go to edit listing. 197 00:13:42.180 --> 00:13:46.440 So members in their dashboard and they're gonna click on profile photo. 198 00:13:48.815 --> 00:13:53.315 So here's the profile photo, the profile logo. They're gonna have, 199 00:13:53.855 --> 00:13:56.675 this new module down here, the profile 200 00:13:57.135 --> 00:14:02.675 cover photo. And generally it's a horizontal photo so we this is this is a text label, 201 00:14:03.009 --> 00:14:14.069 so you can change what this says but it basically encourages the member to upload a rectangle as the photo and once they see it on their profile page they can play with the image and get the right look that they want. 202 00:14:14.370 --> 00:14:19.275 So what you're gonna wanna do, the member can do is just click on upload profile cover photo, 203 00:14:20.055 --> 00:14:22.475 choose this, and I have a image 204 00:14:22.855 --> 00:14:24.875 set that's kind of perfect for this. 205 00:14:25.255 --> 00:14:28.555 It's like a nice horizontal image, and I'll confirm my upload. 206 00:14:30.420 --> 00:14:32.680 Perfect. And it should be done now. 207 00:14:33.140 --> 00:14:33.640 So, 208 00:14:34.020 --> 00:14:36.040 if we go to the public profile, 209 00:14:39.300 --> 00:14:42.825 you can see that, now there is a cover photo here. 210 00:14:42.905 --> 00:14:46.105 And I have this edit listing button here because I'm logged into my own account. 211 00:14:46.105 --> 00:14:47.565 So let me just log out. 212 00:14:49.065 --> 00:14:52.605 See what it looks like with the so this is what a regular visitor, 213 00:14:53.225 --> 00:14:55.165 will see. And again, 214 00:14:56.029 --> 00:14:59.410 it can be anything. It can be rainbows and butterflies and unicorns 215 00:15:00.029 --> 00:15:04.690 and whatever the member's personality is. Maybe it's a collage of their work if they're an artist. 216 00:15:05.470 --> 00:15:07.810 So when you come to the page, maybe it's the storefront. 217 00:15:07.870 --> 00:15:10.925 If it's a restaurant, they can put pictures of food, 218 00:15:11.625 --> 00:15:17.705 whatever the members imagination is, and it'll allow them to capture and engage with website visitors. 219 00:15:17.705 --> 00:15:22.200 It's all your website visitors will like it too because it's more eye candy for them as they're cruising around 220 00:15:22.520 --> 00:15:23.020 your 221 00:15:23.560 --> 00:15:28.860 website. Alright. Good stuff there. And here's a picture of what the cover shot looks like there. 222 00:15:29.400 --> 00:15:29.900 Alright. 223 00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:31.260 Moving on. 224 00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:36.200 We have a great segment here from Rick's Corner. It's a common question we get. 225 00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:41.575 We have covered it slightly in other webinars, but we have a better way to present on this, this time. 226 00:15:41.715 --> 00:15:47.815 It's how to create additional pricing pages for different products product groups that you might have on your site. 227 00:15:47.955 --> 00:15:52.455 And this could be maybe different types of membership levels and packages you're trying to group together. 228 00:15:52.530 --> 00:16:00.610 And now with the digit the sell digital downloads add on, I've seen people create pricing pages for the different product, the digital products that they're selling. 229 00:16:00.610 --> 00:16:08.505 So they're cloning their membership pricing page, and then using the new pricing page to for presenting the digital products that they're offering. 230 00:16:08.505 --> 00:16:15.005 So, Rick, we're we're starting to see this question more and more in the support department, and I think you got more information on it for us. 231 00:16:16.185 --> 00:16:17.245 Yes, Jason. 232 00:16:18.105 --> 00:16:19.324 So hello again. 233 00:16:19.870 --> 00:16:20.930 But you're right. 234 00:16:21.630 --> 00:16:25.970 The the amount of questions that we get related to how to add 235 00:16:26.350 --> 00:16:26.850 more, 236 00:16:27.310 --> 00:16:31.250 more ways in which people can register to a website are do come 237 00:16:31.964 --> 00:16:32.464 quite 238 00:16:32.925 --> 00:16:34.524 often. So they, 239 00:16:35.005 --> 00:16:40.384 it is something that people are wondering, and we're happy to use this space to show, 240 00:16:41.485 --> 00:16:43.185 show people out there how it's done. 241 00:16:43.964 --> 00:16:48.760 So like you were saying, it's useful in different ways. You can add additional membership levels, 242 00:16:49.620 --> 00:16:51.720 or products. Right? Member products. 243 00:16:52.580 --> 00:16:53.779 You can also add, 244 00:16:54.180 --> 00:16:55.320 the digital products, 245 00:16:55.700 --> 00:17:00.120 the which are the, the add on that that's also offered by brand directories. 246 00:17:00.945 --> 00:17:02.405 So you should be able to see 247 00:17:02.945 --> 00:17:04.724 the basic default 248 00:17:05.025 --> 00:17:07.445 join page for Brilliant Directories website. 249 00:17:08.224 --> 00:17:10.244 Perfect starting point right here. Yep. 250 00:17:10.865 --> 00:17:11.685 Okay. Excellent. 251 00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:13.220 So, 252 00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:19.460 again, one one other scenario in which this tip is going to be useful is if you want to add additional 253 00:17:19.760 --> 00:17:21.940 membership levels. So if you sometimes 254 00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:28.260 we we get this question and it's like, how many should I add? Like, should I add five or seven? 255 00:17:28.695 --> 00:17:29.195 Right? 256 00:17:29.495 --> 00:17:39.755 And when you when you think about it, and this is something that Jason likes to talk about, as well, is you don't wanna add too many options here because it could confuse 257 00:17:40.455 --> 00:17:44.235 the the potential buyer, right, the potential member of your website. 258 00:17:44.830 --> 00:17:46.610 So at that point, if you have 259 00:17:47.310 --> 00:17:54.050 several membership levels that you're thinking about adding to this page, it's it's even better if you could create another join page. 260 00:17:54.350 --> 00:17:55.890 Right? And the 261 00:17:56.350 --> 00:18:01.054 the basic tip that we're going to go over right now, it's it's how easy that is 262 00:18:01.514 --> 00:18:03.695 and how easy it is to simply clone 263 00:18:04.315 --> 00:18:05.855 a, a pricing menu. 264 00:18:06.715 --> 00:18:08.735 So let's go ahead and jump to it. Jason, 265 00:18:09.835 --> 00:18:11.215 what you wanna do first 266 00:18:11.595 --> 00:18:17.380 is that you wanna clone the the pricing page menu. Right? So we we wanna go to the toolbox 267 00:18:17.760 --> 00:18:19.380 and open up the menu manager. 268 00:18:20.800 --> 00:18:25.620 Now here, by default, these are the the menus that should show up. 269 00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:31.125 And what we're going to be doing is cloning this one called the present page menu. 270 00:18:31.505 --> 00:18:33.525 So let's go ahead and click clone 271 00:18:34.145 --> 00:18:34.645 here. 272 00:18:35.505 --> 00:18:36.965 Yes. We wanna continue. 273 00:18:38.545 --> 00:18:41.925 Alright. So it's basically like a two step process. 274 00:18:42.540 --> 00:18:47.600 Right? Because what we're doing right now is, basically just, again, cloning the default version. 275 00:18:48.540 --> 00:18:49.760 And if we use 276 00:18:50.140 --> 00:18:53.040 this default pricing menu as it is, 277 00:18:53.580 --> 00:18:56.400 we might not end up with the results that we're expecting. 278 00:18:56.825 --> 00:18:59.245 But we can get to that in just a second. Right? 279 00:18:59.465 --> 00:19:05.565 What we're gonna do now is just basically call this pricing menu onto a new static page. 280 00:19:06.425 --> 00:19:10.905 So let me go ahead and do it. I'm gonna go ahead and copy the name. Right? This is the system name. 281 00:19:10.905 --> 00:19:14.350 This is what we need. And I'm gonna jump over here to the content 282 00:19:14.809 --> 00:19:17.789 section, and I'm gonna click edit web pages. 283 00:19:19.049 --> 00:19:23.230 What this allows me to do is to create a static page where I'm going to call this new 284 00:19:24.664 --> 00:19:28.765 pricing menu one two. So let's go ahead and click here, which is new web page. 285 00:19:30.985 --> 00:19:33.804 Right? This is going to be the new pricing page, 286 00:19:34.105 --> 00:19:35.404 new pricing page. 287 00:19:40.040 --> 00:19:44.620 It's great. And what I'm gonna use here is the short code. Right? Menu 288 00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:45.740 equals 289 00:19:46.280 --> 00:19:47.420 and then the name 290 00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:49.000 of of the menu. 291 00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:53.340 So, of course, we can change the name of the menu, and and we're gonna get to that in just a second. 292 00:19:53.945 --> 00:19:56.205 But for now, let's just go ahead and save this. 293 00:19:56.665 --> 00:19:57.725 Alright. So 294 00:19:58.265 --> 00:19:58.765 alright. 295 00:19:59.545 --> 00:20:02.765 The new page has been created with this new URL, 296 00:20:03.865 --> 00:20:08.285 and we just call it the new pricing page. So let's go ahead and check that out, see what happens. 297 00:20:10.730 --> 00:20:11.950 Alright. There you go. 298 00:20:13.049 --> 00:20:13.370 The, 299 00:20:14.169 --> 00:20:17.070 this is what we were not expecting. Right, Jason? 300 00:20:17.370 --> 00:20:19.049 Yeah, Rick. What's up with the pricing page? 301 00:20:19.049 --> 00:20:22.030 I thought we just cloned it, and it's not looking the way I need it to. 302 00:20:23.515 --> 00:20:25.215 Yeah. That's exactly the question. 303 00:20:25.675 --> 00:20:30.415 And and the reason why is you're you're missing a CSS class. So it's super easy to fix, 304 00:20:30.955 --> 00:20:35.310 the way the I'm gonna show you just a second how you go about doing that. 305 00:20:35.550 --> 00:20:38.770 And, basically, that class or what I mean by this is the style 306 00:20:39.070 --> 00:20:44.690 that's missing that's gonna allow this to display the exact same way in which the new pricing page does. 307 00:20:44.910 --> 00:20:47.570 So let me go ahead and jump over here. 308 00:20:48.305 --> 00:20:52.405 I need to go to the menu again. So let's go to the toolbox and open up the menu manager. 309 00:20:53.825 --> 00:21:00.545 So here in the menu manager, we're going to go ahead and edit the pricing page menu clone, which is the one that we just created. 310 00:21:00.545 --> 00:21:02.325 Let's go ahead and click edit here. 311 00:21:04.060 --> 00:21:04.560 Alright. 312 00:21:05.820 --> 00:21:07.680 Here, this option, actions, 313 00:21:08.140 --> 00:21:12.160 allow me allows me to edit the menu, right, which is what we need to do now. 314 00:21:12.460 --> 00:21:21.695 And here, under menu CSS class, we can actually add the class that will give all the the style that the other page has that this one is currently lacking. 315 00:21:21.995 --> 00:21:24.575 Now the class is very straightforward. It's pricing 316 00:21:25.355 --> 00:21:26.495 underscore menu. 317 00:21:27.035 --> 00:21:28.655 Right? We we can also, 318 00:21:29.600 --> 00:21:32.820 if you want at this point, you can go ahead and change the system name. 319 00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:39.680 Now bear in mind that if you do that, then you just go have to go back to the the new page that we created and update the the name there as well. 320 00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:43.575 Right? Because else it's not gonna work. So for now, we're just gonna leave it as is. 321 00:21:43.815 --> 00:21:47.674 But bear in mind that this is the same place where you can go ahead and change that name. 322 00:21:48.455 --> 00:21:50.715 Right? Just click save and continue. 323 00:21:51.335 --> 00:21:51.835 Alright. 324 00:21:52.534 --> 00:21:55.755 And that was basically it. That's the, that's the whole process. 325 00:21:55.815 --> 00:22:01.039 Just you just simply have to just have have So let's see let's see it with the save CSS class now. 326 00:22:01.179 --> 00:22:02.799 Let's see if that fixes it. 327 00:22:03.900 --> 00:22:07.520 Alright. So this is the one that we were editing. Let's go ahead and refresh. 328 00:22:07.980 --> 00:22:09.975 Hey. There you go. But, yeah, super value there. 329 00:22:09.975 --> 00:22:16.555 What's really cool about cloning your pricing pages, guys, the real tip here is you can segment different membership products, different membership packages. 330 00:22:16.775 --> 00:22:21.630 I know a site that focuses on lawyers and also expert witness witnesses. 331 00:22:21.630 --> 00:22:23.550 People who give expert witness testimony. 332 00:22:23.550 --> 00:22:30.290 So it's a site to find both, but they have separate sign up pages for the lawyers and separate sign up pages for the expert witnesses. 333 00:22:30.510 --> 00:22:33.950 Actually, let me show you, how they're doing doing it. 334 00:22:34.430 --> 00:22:36.370 I'm gonna take back the controls here, Rick. 335 00:22:37.415 --> 00:22:38.554 So here's an example 336 00:22:39.255 --> 00:22:42.554 on a site called iLaw Connect, and what they have is 337 00:22:43.015 --> 00:22:45.755 you cut you click on list your list your practice. 338 00:22:46.135 --> 00:22:50.955 But when you come here, they've created this little module here, and it says create your attorney listing, 339 00:22:51.500 --> 00:22:53.440 create your expert witness listing. 340 00:22:53.820 --> 00:22:54.320 And, 341 00:22:55.260 --> 00:22:57.840 when you click on, for example, create attorney listing, 342 00:22:58.540 --> 00:23:04.640 here they have the two different plans for, the attorney, the basic and the professional attorney listing. 343 00:23:05.340 --> 00:23:06.960 And what they've actually done 344 00:23:07.945 --> 00:23:09.804 is the expert witness listing, 345 00:23:11.144 --> 00:23:13.804 they're taking them directly to the free registration 346 00:23:14.264 --> 00:23:16.845 page. They actually do some of their upselling, 347 00:23:17.465 --> 00:23:22.820 after the fact, that an expert witness registers for free. So they get them directly to sign up. 348 00:23:22.820 --> 00:23:26.420 You could see they're using the confidence boosters here in the in the left side. 349 00:23:26.420 --> 00:23:30.020 If I was an expert witness, I have no reason not to sign up, to this site. 350 00:23:30.020 --> 00:23:33.620 All the benefits are listed there. And actually, sorry, it's not a free sign up. 351 00:23:33.620 --> 00:23:36.065 It's just one plan, $4.49, 352 00:23:36.225 --> 00:23:37.505 per year in this example. 353 00:23:37.505 --> 00:23:49.250 So they don't even need a second membership level page, but we can see how if they did have one, segmenting two different types of members on your site can be very helpful, and you could have multiple pricing pages to accommodate 354 00:23:51.149 --> 00:23:54.590 that. Alright. Good stuff there, Rick. Thanks so much on presenting that. Alright. 355 00:23:54.590 --> 00:23:59.649 Thank you very much, Jason. Appreciate it. Sure thing. Sure thing. Jason, good afternoon, everyone. 356 00:23:59.710 --> 00:24:01.490 Can you hear me? Is this CJ? 357 00:24:02.235 --> 00:24:06.335 This is CJ. Hey, CJ. Welcome to the webinar. Great to hear from you. 358 00:24:06.795 --> 00:24:11.595 I join in from time to time, but I'm actually working on my site. It's been a while. 359 00:24:11.595 --> 00:24:12.895 I know that's my bad. 360 00:24:13.035 --> 00:24:20.960 And I did have a question about the mobile version, right, when I've noticed most most of my users are now just pulling up the site on their phone 361 00:24:21.260 --> 00:24:23.360 from the social media links I'm sharing, 362 00:24:23.820 --> 00:24:26.720 and I wanted to touch base with you on on something I noticed. 363 00:24:27.420 --> 00:24:31.605 Sure. Do you wanna share your site? We could use it as an example to take a look at. Of course. 364 00:24:31.605 --> 00:24:34.985 That's awesome. So costaricalocations.com. 365 00:24:35.125 --> 00:24:35.625 Okay. 366 00:24:36.245 --> 00:24:39.625 And what is the purpose of the site, the or the focus of it? 367 00:24:39.925 --> 00:24:42.185 So it's a real estate agent 368 00:24:42.565 --> 00:24:43.065 directory 369 00:24:43.605 --> 00:24:46.580 Okay. For Costa Rica. Okay. Great. So, 370 00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:49.200 okay. Here we are on your site. 371 00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:54.980 Great, images, great use of color here, and you're talking about something on mobile devices. 372 00:24:55.760 --> 00:24:56.260 Yes. 373 00:24:56.880 --> 00:24:58.820 So when I go into 374 00:25:00.235 --> 00:25:03.535 mobile version, like, I I just shrink my screen here of the window. 375 00:25:04.235 --> 00:25:05.294 Here we go. So 376 00:25:05.835 --> 00:25:09.135 it's shrunken screen now. So if we go into 377 00:25:09.595 --> 00:25:10.174 a property, 378 00:25:11.195 --> 00:25:14.095 search result page because they can search for properties, 379 00:25:15.310 --> 00:25:20.050 My concern is user experience because I need to scroll all the way down to get to the search 380 00:25:20.590 --> 00:25:21.730 engine, the filter. 381 00:25:22.350 --> 00:25:26.110 And so I'm automatically being displayed with something that I wasn't looking for. 382 00:25:26.110 --> 00:25:29.970 You know, what if it's not for rent, for sale, or in the area that I'm interested? 383 00:25:30.365 --> 00:25:34.785 And then how would people know to scroll all the way down to get to that and filter? 384 00:25:35.165 --> 00:25:37.585 Thank you. And I got you back on this one. Okay. 385 00:25:38.445 --> 00:25:41.965 Let me do a couple things for you. One, I would restore the default code. 386 00:25:41.965 --> 00:25:45.510 We have updated code for the search results design. I think it's much better. 387 00:25:45.510 --> 00:25:47.050 Do you mind if I go ahead and do that? 388 00:25:47.670 --> 00:25:52.310 Yes. And that's why I mentioned I haven't been working on my site. No. I can trust you to be Okay. 389 00:25:52.310 --> 00:25:55.750 No. I have running everything ship shape, but So is my bet. No problem. 390 00:25:55.750 --> 00:26:11.985 So if you haven't done if if if you're a person who really hasn't, edited the code on your search results pages, probably 90% of everyone, probably from time to time, and when I say that maybe a couple times per year, we'll update the code in the search results to kinda just be more modern or it includes more elements and things like that. 391 00:26:12.144 --> 00:26:16.820 In this case, and I'll do it before and after, we did update this about six months ago. 392 00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:18.980 And I'll go to, 393 00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:21.860 properties for the edit post settings, 394 00:26:22.800 --> 00:26:26.980 and I'll edit this. And I'm gonna restore the default code for the search results design. 395 00:26:27.415 --> 00:26:30.135 And, again, if you have custom code, you don't wanna do this. 396 00:26:30.135 --> 00:26:32.875 But if you're just using always using our default code, 397 00:26:33.335 --> 00:26:36.055 it's never a bad thing to restore the default code. 398 00:26:36.055 --> 00:26:43.320 And, again, it's just a couple times per year we might make modifications to it, unless we make, like, an announcement in a webinar or or in a newsletter. 399 00:26:43.320 --> 00:26:46.620 So let me just do a before and after here. I'll duplicate this tab. 400 00:26:47.320 --> 00:26:52.245 Okay. Great. So the reason this view is a little bit better and you can look at our demo site. 401 00:26:52.485 --> 00:26:57.305 CJ, you can go to the properties demo, and you may wanna use icons in addition to these here, 402 00:26:57.845 --> 00:27:01.125 for these things. These are just text labels that you can add icons to. 403 00:27:01.365 --> 00:27:03.684 But here you can see the image is a little larger. 404 00:27:03.925 --> 00:27:09.320 You get a lot more information just looking at the image, like for rent, residential, the prices here. 405 00:27:09.540 --> 00:27:12.500 And also on mobile, this actually shows a little bit better. 406 00:27:12.500 --> 00:27:18.260 So it it shows for rent, residential, and the price, and then the bedrooms and bathrooms are down here. 407 00:27:18.260 --> 00:27:23.434 So that's number one that's been updated. Number two is you want Okay. Awesome. Thank you. 408 00:27:23.434 --> 00:27:24.154 I noticed that. 409 00:27:24.154 --> 00:27:28.335 I actually did and I thought they had customized some you know, added tweaked it with some CSS 410 00:27:28.715 --> 00:27:32.890 that I just, thank you. Thank you, guys, and I'll be running those updates. Yeah. 411 00:27:32.890 --> 00:27:39.290 So the next thing is, you want in this case, you want your property search to be to show on mobile at the top. 412 00:27:39.290 --> 00:27:43.230 So what we can do is I'm just doing the show widgets and I'm gonna get the, 413 00:27:43.770 --> 00:27:49.705 the name of the property search widget which is this one, Bootstrap theme module property search. 414 00:27:49.764 --> 00:27:51.304 And actually in the same place, 415 00:27:51.924 --> 00:27:55.764 in the header of your search result, I'm gonna be putting that widget. 416 00:27:55.764 --> 00:27:58.825 We're also loading another widget here, but I'll do this one. 417 00:28:00.804 --> 00:28:04.140 Widget equals, and I'm just gonna paste that in there. 418 00:28:04.140 --> 00:28:08.160 Now I do need to do one more thing so it only shows on mobile. 419 00:28:09.180 --> 00:28:12.400 I have to do div class and this is An if class. 420 00:28:12.700 --> 00:28:17.040 Mhmm. Well, it's just gonna be hidden on SM, that's small monitors. 421 00:28:17.180 --> 00:28:20.165 Excess is extra small monitors, so we want it to show on mobile. 422 00:28:20.165 --> 00:28:22.025 So I'm gonna hide it on small monitors, 423 00:28:22.805 --> 00:28:25.625 hidden MD, which is medium sized monitors, 424 00:28:26.165 --> 00:28:30.180 and hidden on LG. It's like the story of the three bears. So 425 00:28:32.020 --> 00:28:37.000 we're gonna just put that widget in the div. And, basically, what I'm telling the system to do is, 426 00:28:37.940 --> 00:28:46.745 this widget's gonna render, but because it's inside this div that says hidden SM, hidden MD, hidden LG, it's gonna be hidden on everything except on excess monitors. 427 00:28:47.205 --> 00:28:51.865 If I wanted it on hidden on smaller monitors, I would do, hidden excess. 428 00:28:52.645 --> 00:28:57.945 And then I'm also just going to put a just for design wise in HR, that's just a solid line. 429 00:28:58.470 --> 00:28:58.790 And, 430 00:28:59.429 --> 00:29:01.850 okay. Great. I'll go ahead and save the changes now. 431 00:29:03.030 --> 00:29:05.610 So if we come back to your search results page, 432 00:29:06.390 --> 00:29:07.850 so we shouldn't see it 433 00:29:08.550 --> 00:29:09.450 on the regular, 434 00:29:09.910 --> 00:29:11.929 layout. I'll just refresh the page. 435 00:29:12.495 --> 00:29:15.075 But if I go back to the mobile view 436 00:29:17.375 --> 00:29:21.075 I'll just get rid of the sidebar as well. So if I go to a mobile view now, 437 00:29:22.975 --> 00:29:25.795 we should see let me just refresh the page here. 438 00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:28.960 Okay. Great. 439 00:29:28.960 --> 00:29:37.299 So now you'll have, this at the top here and actually we could put it's just in the in this case, the property is, like, a pretty tall 440 00:29:37.600 --> 00:29:38.100 search. 441 00:29:39.280 --> 00:29:41.265 Just depending on what your goals are. 442 00:29:41.345 --> 00:29:44.485 Maybe you wanna work with a developer to put this, like, in an accordion 443 00:29:44.785 --> 00:29:50.485 so people click on it, and then it expands open rather than starting in the in the open stage by default. 444 00:29:51.265 --> 00:29:54.565 But as far as now is here, you you do have the 445 00:29:54.950 --> 00:29:57.430 the property search at the top of your search results. 446 00:29:57.430 --> 00:30:05.290 So, you can In the meantime, I just thought of a great workaround though because I'll add some custom content that I I I can edit that on the top, 447 00:30:06.230 --> 00:30:08.890 above the widget to just kind of guide the 448 00:30:09.615 --> 00:30:14.355 the user into knowing what's what's gonna scroll down what they're gonna scroll down to. Like, 449 00:30:15.135 --> 00:30:19.215 I'll figure it out. Jason, you guys are awesome, miss Roxas. I was holding my breath the whole time. 450 00:30:19.215 --> 00:30:22.515 Okay. Thank you so much. You're very welcome. It's looking great. 451 00:30:23.390 --> 00:30:27.789 So I just wanna give a special shout out and thank you to the guys at BD blocks. 452 00:30:27.789 --> 00:30:33.330 You guys are great marketplace developers and it's cool that to see that you're building a a plug in like this as well. 453 00:30:33.710 --> 00:30:41.355 If you haven't already done so, if you wanna get on their list for the, the free product and Esteban, this is let me unmute your microphone one more time. 454 00:30:41.815 --> 00:30:46.555 This is going to be a free product. And do you have an expected release date for this? 455 00:30:47.815 --> 00:30:49.195 We should have a finished 456 00:30:49.679 --> 00:30:50.559 block list, 457 00:30:50.960 --> 00:30:52.419 by Friday latest, 458 00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:56.500 but maybe tomorrow in the night this should be, going out officially. 459 00:30:57.039 --> 00:30:59.279 Alright.

Thanks Esteban for joining. 461 00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:05.925 Excited to see what type of pages people people build with that. 462 00:31:05.985 --> 00:31:09.205 And Rick thanks a lot for covering the pricing page thing. 463 00:31:09.905 --> 00:31:11.925 And the profile cover photo is 464 00:31:12.545 --> 00:31:13.685 being released soon. 465 00:31:14.065 --> 00:31:18.565 Lots of updates the last couple weeks.
