And we have a few, BD Lab updates to share with you guys today, and even more. 45 00:02:38.735 --> 00:02:42.895 We have more, updates that are actually gonna be released very soon. 46 00:02:42.895 --> 00:02:45.695 I can actually demo a few of those, for you. 47 00:02:45.695 --> 00:02:49.475 But let's start with the ones that are already released and available for you guys. 48 00:02:50.099 --> 00:02:50.599 Now, 49 00:02:51.299 --> 00:03:00.420 one of my my favorites, and I think it's gonna be very useful, especially if you're using your site to generate revenue, is we have two new finance reports that you can take advantage of. 50 00:03:00.420 --> 00:03:02.355 And they basically show you a 51 00:03:02.675 --> 00:03:08.595 daily summary of your income for the current month, and then that there's another report, I'll show it to you. 52 00:03:08.595 --> 00:03:10.295 It shows a month by month, 53 00:03:10.915 --> 00:03:14.375 income report, so you can compare how you're doing throughout the year. 54 00:03:14.435 --> 00:03:17.974 It also goes back to the prior two years if you have income, 55 00:03:18.519 --> 00:03:19.879 from 02/2018. 56 00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:21.819 So let me show you where you can find that. 57 00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:24.540 If you head on over to 58 00:03:24.920 --> 00:03:26.620 your dashboard and, 59 00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:30.299 click on the finance area transaction history, 60 00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:32.379 you'll now see 61 00:03:33.035 --> 00:03:36.394 there used to be an income forecaster here or estimator here. 62 00:03:36.555 --> 00:03:38.815 Now there's a drop down for income reports, 63 00:03:39.355 --> 00:03:41.535 and you can see a daily income report, 64 00:03:42.075 --> 00:03:49.220 a year to date report, that would be month by month, and then what was always there is the recurring income estimator, which is a future forecast, 65 00:03:50.160 --> 00:03:53.760 of estimated revenue based on the recurring subscriptions you have. 66 00:03:53.760 --> 00:03:57.860 So let's take a look at the daily income report. We have this site, it has a little bit of sample, 67 00:03:58.480 --> 00:03:59.300 data here. 68 00:03:59.760 --> 00:04:06.565 So this would be for the month of March that we're currently in, and we can see that it is showing us, you know, how much revenue, 69 00:04:06.865 --> 00:04:10.485 we had, if there were any gateway fees, and also refunds. 70 00:04:10.945 --> 00:04:13.605 So this is a great snapshot of how you're doing 71 00:04:13.985 --> 00:04:15.445 in the current month. 72 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:20.899 And what's also nice is if you scroll down, you can go back to the previous month 73 00:04:21.440 --> 00:04:25.760 here. So you can go month by month and kinda see how you did each day. 74 00:04:25.760 --> 00:04:32.595 If you're looking for trends on what part of the month, you kinda is more favorable for your income, maybe it's the beginning, middle, or end. 75 00:04:32.655 --> 00:04:35.315 This is a great way to see those trends visually. 76 00:04:38.095 --> 00:04:42.354 And then the year to date report, this one goes month by month, it's not day by day. 77 00:04:42.815 --> 00:04:47.074 So here, we can see this site does it was just a test site, it doesn't have too much, 78 00:04:47.430 --> 00:04:50.810 revenue data, but it would go back all the way to 2018 79 00:04:51.190 --> 00:04:52.250 and 2019. 80 00:04:52.470 --> 00:04:54.570 So so far this year, we can see, 81 00:04:55.430 --> 00:04:58.250 March, the sample data shows 04/2015. 82 00:04:58.550 --> 00:05:01.610 February was a hundred eighty two, and then back in January, 83 00:05:01.925 --> 00:05:04.965 there's a small amount here for $35.89. 84 00:05:04.965 --> 00:05:09.065 But if you have a couple years worth of data, it's a great way to see trends, 85 00:05:09.605 --> 00:05:16.505 again throughout the year of what months are more favorable for you, where you might wanna invest more in marketing, or or 86 00:05:16.810 --> 00:05:21.470 kind of pull back on your marketing based on some of these income trends that you're seeing here with these visual, 87 00:05:22.090 --> 00:05:23.070 charts and graphs. 88 00:05:23.690 --> 00:05:26.509 And then the last one is the report that's always been there. 89 00:05:27.770 --> 00:05:29.070 The income estimator, 90 00:05:29.595 --> 00:05:34.895 which basically estimates the recurring revenue that you have and how much you can plan on making, 91 00:05:35.355 --> 00:05:37.375 in the coming months here. So, 92 00:05:37.995 --> 00:05:47.560 as an example, this well, there's only one recurring subscription on this test site, but it shows in April, we plan on, generating about $29.98. 93 00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:48.040 So, 94 00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:51.100 it's a great way to forecast and maybe plan projections 95 00:05:51.400 --> 00:05:52.380 for the future. 96 00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:57.960 Alright. This one we've actually talked about in the Facebook group. 97 00:05:57.960 --> 00:06:02.254 It is officially, released, so I didn't want to mention it in this webinar. 98 00:06:02.254 --> 00:06:04.835 In the previous webinar, we did mention it's coming soon. 99 00:06:05.055 --> 00:06:13.074 It is an enhancement to the detect visitor location add on that that we have out there, and kinda let me show you what that does exactly. 100 00:06:14.610 --> 00:06:18.389 So if you have the detect visitor location add on, before this, 101 00:06:18.770 --> 00:06:19.910 if you had it enabled, 102 00:06:20.690 --> 00:06:21.509 it would 103 00:06:21.889 --> 00:06:23.509 prompt a visitor immediately 104 00:06:23.810 --> 00:06:25.990 to share their location, to consent 105 00:06:26.370 --> 00:06:29.255 to sharing their location, and then that would automatically 106 00:06:29.635 --> 00:06:32.115 fill in the location search field here. 107 00:06:32.275 --> 00:06:38.375 So they don't have to type it, the the system is already knowing based on their IP address where they're located, it's pretty convenient. 108 00:06:38.755 --> 00:06:47.250 The problem with that is it was prompting every single visitor that came to your site to share their location, and maybe they weren't doing a location based search. 109 00:06:48.190 --> 00:06:51.710 So now there's this icon in all the location search fields. 110 00:06:51.710 --> 00:06:57.650 If you click on it, well I actually shared my location here, let me remove this and hard refresh. 111 00:06:59.705 --> 00:07:03.384 Okay. So if you click on this here, you'll now be prompted. 112 00:07:03.384 --> 00:07:10.604 This is what people would see automatically every time, but now you click on it, you allow access to share the location, 113 00:07:11.660 --> 00:07:14.480 and then there we go. So it should fill in your location, 114 00:07:14.940 --> 00:07:15.260 here. 115 00:07:15.260 --> 00:07:20.800 So it's gonna it's a little better experience for the visitor because they're not bombarded with the alert right away. 116 00:07:21.100 --> 00:07:33.335 It's also better for your Google Maps API because it's not pinging the Google Maps API every single time a visitor comes to your site, only the visitors who need it or want it when they're doing location based searches. 117 00:07:33.335 --> 00:07:36.615 So, it's nice and convenient there, and once you do it, 118 00:07:37.255 --> 00:07:40.315 you can continuously use it around the site. 119 00:07:41.949 --> 00:07:42.270 Alright. 120 00:07:42.270 --> 00:07:49.650 This one we've had for quite a while, but, we've made some enhancements and, refinements, so it works for subcategories 121 00:07:50.110 --> 00:07:50.770 as well. 122 00:07:50.830 --> 00:07:56.050 And what this allows you to do is if you have a lot of categories on your site, top level categories 123 00:07:56.565 --> 00:07:58.025 or sub level categories, 124 00:07:58.405 --> 00:08:00.585 and perhaps you're using the search filters, 125 00:08:01.205 --> 00:08:05.305 where you're where you're drilling down categories. Let me see if this site has it here. 126 00:08:07.525 --> 00:08:12.800 It is not showing it here, but let me show you what this setting does. If you go to 127 00:08:13.340 --> 00:08:16.960 member categories, and this is only if you don't want your categories, 128 00:08:18.060 --> 00:08:21.840 by default in alphabetical order. So for member categories, 129 00:08:22.455 --> 00:08:30.635 there's an option here front end display, and now with this update it'll it will apply to both your top and your sub level categories 130 00:08:31.014 --> 00:08:33.515 before it just applied to your top level categories. 131 00:08:34.135 --> 00:08:35.195 So you can choose 132 00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:38.980 in those search filter drop downs how you want your categories 133 00:08:39.280 --> 00:08:39.780 organized, 134 00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:43.140 by name a to z or z to a. 135 00:08:43.280 --> 00:08:48.980 And this is where you really wanna use this if it's based on the sort order, ascending or descending. 136 00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:53.545 So with all your categories, there is an input here for the sort order. 137 00:08:54.004 --> 00:08:59.464 And if you're utilizing this, perhaps you wanna bubble some of your more popular or important categories 138 00:09:00.004 --> 00:09:05.089 to the top of that drop down list. You would give your categories a sort order, 139 00:09:05.390 --> 00:09:06.770 and then choose here, 140 00:09:07.710 --> 00:09:11.810 if you would like your categories organized, by their sort order. 141 00:09:11.950 --> 00:09:15.315 And then of course, each category has an ID here. 142 00:09:15.635 --> 00:09:19.815 That would basically be when you've added it to the site, every category is assigned 143 00:09:20.195 --> 00:09:20.935 an ID, 144 00:09:21.555 --> 00:09:26.535 so you can also choose to have your category sorted by their ID instead. 145 00:09:27.315 --> 00:09:28.375 So this is available, 146 00:09:28.680 --> 00:09:32.140 and again, it really just applies to if you're using the, 147 00:09:32.839 --> 00:09:33.800 the search filter. 148 00:09:33.800 --> 00:09:38.140 Let me go to our demo site, I can show you an example of what that search module looks like here. 149 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:41.660 So here's a good example on the sidebar. 150 00:09:41.800 --> 00:09:45.404 So, this is a list of all the top categories in our demo site. 151 00:09:45.404 --> 00:09:56.384 You can see they're listed alphabetically here, but if we wanted to list them by their sort order, we could certainly do that with, with that, setting there, and it would also apply to the respective 152 00:09:56.685 --> 00:09:58.260 sublevel categories here. 153 00:10:00.820 --> 00:10:02.200 Okay. This is now, 154 00:10:02.980 --> 00:10:07.480 this is actually a two step process. We've completed step one, which is storing 155 00:10:07.860 --> 00:10:09.480 the member form submissions. 156 00:10:10.100 --> 00:10:14.205 So the end game here is we want to provide you with the ability to, 157 00:10:15.405 --> 00:10:19.905 segment and filter your members based on what forms they filled out on your site. 158 00:10:19.965 --> 00:10:21.905 So you know which members have completed, 159 00:10:22.365 --> 00:10:24.865 their listing details, which ones have perhaps 160 00:10:25.245 --> 00:10:27.425 published a coupon, which ones haven't. 161 00:10:27.750 --> 00:10:31.290 So the first step to this is storing the member form submissions. 162 00:10:31.590 --> 00:10:34.330 So we're doing this in the activity tracker now. 163 00:10:34.470 --> 00:10:39.530 Probably doesn't have too much high value till we finish the phase two part of this, but let me show you, 164 00:10:39.990 --> 00:10:41.530 what this looks like. So, 165 00:10:42.495 --> 00:10:48.355 we can see here, we're now storing when a user or a member submits a form. 166 00:10:48.815 --> 00:10:52.275 And now that we're doing this, so member listing details form, 167 00:10:52.975 --> 00:10:55.395 blog article fields, that's the blog form, 168 00:10:55.855 --> 00:10:57.395 and so on. So, 169 00:10:58.630 --> 00:11:01.210 now that we're storing this, the next step, 170 00:11:01.750 --> 00:11:06.410 which would be coming soon, I suspect next month, is in the search members page. 171 00:11:07.030 --> 00:11:09.530 We're gonna add a new filter here for, 172 00:11:09.910 --> 00:11:13.035 what form a member has filled out or or completed, 173 00:11:13.415 --> 00:11:21.915 and that's gonna allow you to create a better segmented list based on member activity on the site, or what they have or have not done on the site with respect 174 00:11:22.295 --> 00:11:24.935 to submitting or filling out forms around your site. 175 00:11:24.935 --> 00:11:34.480 So we've completed step one of that, and then phase two is really the important one where, you can search for members based on who filled out which forms. 176 00:11:35.500 --> 00:11:40.380 With all that said, lots going on here. Let's go on to the coming soon items. 177 00:11:40.380 --> 00:11:44.855 So, we did mention this last week. I do have a small preview to show you guys. 178 00:11:44.915 --> 00:11:46.295 We are gonna come out, 179 00:11:46.755 --> 00:11:51.815 with both an add on and some default settings for billing reminder emails. 180 00:11:52.995 --> 00:11:55.735 Basically, let me, it's better I should show you. 181 00:11:56.800 --> 00:11:58.180 What you're going to have, 182 00:11:59.280 --> 00:12:00.420 it's coming soon. 183 00:12:01.680 --> 00:12:05.700 On your Transaction History page, you'll have Billing Email Settings. 184 00:12:06.400 --> 00:12:10.580 And if you have the Add On, you'll have these Email Settings because those are the Automation Settings. 185 00:12:10.800 --> 00:12:11.300 However, 186 00:12:12.475 --> 00:12:13.775 everyone will have 187 00:12:14.155 --> 00:12:16.495 the ability to email the members individually 188 00:12:17.035 --> 00:12:18.255 the email notifications 189 00:12:18.635 --> 00:12:19.455 that correspond 190 00:12:19.995 --> 00:12:22.155 to the different statuses of their, 191 00:12:22.635 --> 00:12:24.975 invoices. So if a member is past due, 192 00:12:26.870 --> 00:12:29.930 everyone will have the ability to send the email notification 193 00:12:30.230 --> 00:12:31.770 with the one click of a button. 194 00:12:32.390 --> 00:12:36.010 So with these email automation settings, these billing email settings, 195 00:12:37.110 --> 00:12:39.530 what you'll be able to do to start is 196 00:12:39.954 --> 00:12:44.855 you can decide if an email is sent to a separate email is sent to a member, 197 00:12:45.315 --> 00:12:46.935 when a new payment is received. 198 00:12:47.075 --> 00:12:50.375 So that could be on the first payment or if it's a recurring payment, 199 00:12:50.995 --> 00:12:55.650 you can then choose to email the member every time a new payment is received, yes or no. 200 00:12:56.690 --> 00:12:59.910 Upcoming payment reminders. This has been pretty popular request. 201 00:13:00.290 --> 00:13:05.590 If you wanna email your members prior to when a recurring charge is going to bill, 202 00:13:06.210 --> 00:13:12.565 and what you can do actually is you can choose to send an upcoming payment reminder up to fourteen days, 203 00:13:13.185 --> 00:13:15.285 before the payment is actually due. 204 00:13:17.265 --> 00:13:18.405 And then also, 205 00:13:19.025 --> 00:13:22.885 additional automated emails that you can set up, you can enable or disable, 206 00:13:23.410 --> 00:13:25.330 our past due payment reminders. 207 00:13:25.330 --> 00:13:34.470 So let's say the payment was due on the first, and you wanna send an email saying, hey, we weren't able to to, charge your card on file. 208 00:13:35.010 --> 00:13:37.330 You can have this email go out, 209 00:13:38.205 --> 00:13:44.225 you know, one day after the due date, and then have another reminder go seven days after the due date. 210 00:13:44.285 --> 00:13:50.145 You can decide how aggressive you wanna be, or you can choose not to send, you know, three paths to reminders. 211 00:13:51.899 --> 00:13:53.200 But these will be automated, 212 00:13:53.899 --> 00:13:56.639 so you as the website owner could just rest assure 213 00:13:57.019 --> 00:14:01.360 that these emails are being sent to your members and the reminders are being sent. 214 00:14:01.420 --> 00:14:03.519 And of course, each one has a corresponding 215 00:14:03.899 --> 00:14:04.720 email template, 216 00:14:05.555 --> 00:14:08.135 with the the payment information, what's due. 217 00:14:08.275 --> 00:14:14.535 And, of course, you can customize that further to make it, you know, match your messaging and your brand's voice. 218 00:14:15.075 --> 00:14:16.195 So this should be really big. 219 00:14:16.195 --> 00:14:22.300 I know a lot of people are looking forward to this, and we're just on the final steps of QA ing this with the development team. 220 00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:28.220 Okay. I mentioned this also in the previous webinar, but it's just on the cusp of being released. 221 00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:31.980 Moving forward to help reduce spam with newsletter, 222 00:14:33.125 --> 00:14:41.065 subscriber sign ups, they will be in a pop up and they will use a security recapture check, that little Google check. 223 00:14:42.245 --> 00:14:46.345 So let me just show you those who missed last week's webinar, what that's gonna look like. 224 00:14:48.140 --> 00:14:51.680 So right here, here's an example in the sidebar, Join our Newsletter, 225 00:14:52.300 --> 00:14:55.440 and right now it just has the input field but there's no recapture, 226 00:14:56.060 --> 00:14:59.040 there's not even GDPR consent if you're using that. 227 00:14:59.085 --> 00:15:03.665 And also in the footer here, right now it's just an input field, there's no security check. 228 00:15:03.965 --> 00:15:05.345 With this pop up, 229 00:15:05.725 --> 00:15:07.805 both the you'll be able to have, 230 00:15:08.765 --> 00:15:10.045 the security check. 231 00:15:10.045 --> 00:15:15.330 You can add more fields to save as well if you wanted to be beyond the name and the email address. 232 00:15:15.550 --> 00:15:19.330 And also now it can nicely support GDPR consent check boxes 233 00:15:19.710 --> 00:15:21.250 if you needed to add them. 234 00:15:21.550 --> 00:15:28.584 When when it was when it's just in the footer here, it's really hard to find the space from a design perspective to include all those things nicely. 235 00:15:28.584 --> 00:15:29.805 So it just made sense, 236 00:15:30.265 --> 00:15:31.725 to make this a nice, 237 00:15:32.105 --> 00:15:33.725 and elegant pop up here. 238 00:15:34.985 --> 00:15:40.925 Okay. We do actually have a question that was written in about the, the billing email reminders. 239 00:15:41.390 --> 00:15:42.430 It's a pretty good question. 240 00:15:42.430 --> 00:15:51.970 He was asking, will the past due number two and number three emails stop once a payment has been received after that first past due email is sent out? 241 00:15:52.270 --> 00:15:54.130 Yes. That's an excellent question. 242 00:15:54.750 --> 00:15:56.450 So let's just look over here. 243 00:15:58.735 --> 00:16:02.915 So in your transaction page, you you can see all the past due invoices, 244 00:16:03.695 --> 00:16:06.275 the past due, transaction. So once, 245 00:16:06.815 --> 00:16:08.435 for example, this gets paid, 246 00:16:10.190 --> 00:16:18.930 the user for this in base invoice will no longer be past due, and the emails will will not run, anymore for that invoice for that user. 247 00:16:20.910 --> 00:16:21.410 Perfect. 248 00:16:22.265 --> 00:16:25.145 Alright. Good question. Now, yeah. If you guys have more questions, keep asking them. 249 00:16:25.145 --> 00:16:27.485 I'm just gonna drill through these coming soons here. 250 00:16:28.345 --> 00:16:31.645 Here's one. This is more of a quality of life for members, 251 00:16:32.505 --> 00:16:34.925 especially if they have a lot of categories, 252 00:16:35.545 --> 00:16:36.045 subcategories. 253 00:16:37.220 --> 00:16:39.879 You'll be able to see them right here, 254 00:16:41.139 --> 00:16:43.160 like little tag clouds, and 255 00:16:43.540 --> 00:16:45.000 then they can easily, 256 00:16:46.100 --> 00:16:47.959 delete them if they wanted to. 257 00:16:48.420 --> 00:16:51.465 So this is nice, especially if if you're using subcategories, 258 00:16:51.845 --> 00:17:03.305 it's sometimes hard for the member to see what they have checked, especially if they're tucked away in sub subcategories like this veterinarian one, but then they can easily see where they are, and they could 259 00:17:03.699 --> 00:17:05.720 x them out, if they needed. 260 00:17:06.020 --> 00:17:10.839 So this is really nice especially with the, update we did here with the quick search filter, 261 00:17:11.540 --> 00:17:15.640 so you can kinda search for categories. Again, it really doesn't apply to sites 262 00:17:16.214 --> 00:17:28.554 with just a few categories, but if you have dozens and dozens of categories that the members have to select, this is just gonna make things a little bit easier for, your members, and they'll make sure that they are in the, the correct categories. 263 00:17:29.670 --> 00:17:33.850 Alright. This one is also on the cusp of, being released, 264 00:17:34.310 --> 00:17:36.490 the ability to choose the sort order 265 00:17:36.870 --> 00:17:40.630 for your streaming members that you have on your home page. 266 00:17:40.630 --> 00:17:46.745 So a lot of people like to use use that module on the home page to stream your recent members. 267 00:17:47.285 --> 00:17:49.385 Right now, it just does a chronological 268 00:17:50.405 --> 00:17:54.745 order of who the recent members are joining, and it shows those members on the home page. 269 00:17:55.044 --> 00:18:00.130 So instead, we're gonna provide with some sort options here. Let me show you what that looks like. 270 00:18:03.789 --> 00:18:05.490 So if you go to homepage layout, 271 00:18:06.030 --> 00:18:07.570 and you have the, 272 00:18:09.230 --> 00:18:11.490 the show members, the show recent members, 273 00:18:12.429 --> 00:18:13.410 option here. 274 00:18:14.345 --> 00:18:17.485 So if you go to the section order options for 275 00:18:17.865 --> 00:18:18.845 streaming members, 276 00:18:19.785 --> 00:18:22.505 you'll have coming soon a sort option. 277 00:18:22.505 --> 00:18:25.645 So you can choose newest, which is the way it works right now. 278 00:18:26.265 --> 00:18:27.725 Oldest, that would be 279 00:18:28.230 --> 00:18:33.450 people who signed up first on your site, they'll they'll display first, or you can do a random order. 280 00:18:33.510 --> 00:18:35.929 And the one that a lot of people have been requesting 281 00:18:36.309 --> 00:18:39.670 is the random order, so you can just show members. 282 00:18:39.670 --> 00:18:43.370 And what's really nice is you can actually choose which membership levels 283 00:18:43.735 --> 00:18:47.914 to include in that stream. So perhaps you only want your premium members 284 00:18:48.294 --> 00:18:51.654 to show on the home page, and then you could show them in a random order. 285 00:18:51.654 --> 00:18:53.274 So every time the page refreshes, 286 00:18:53.894 --> 00:18:55.274 there really is no priority. 287 00:18:55.335 --> 00:19:00.670 Everyone's getting, the same random visibility on your home page for being a premium member. 288 00:19:00.670 --> 00:19:06.930 So, that should be released shortly and definitely will, mention in the next webinar, I think by then, 289 00:19:07.230 --> 00:19:08.290 it should be released. 290 00:19:08.990 --> 00:19:17.515 And then lastly, I've already mentioned this, phase two of storing the members' form submissions will be being able to search those members and export members, 291 00:19:18.135 --> 00:19:22.075 who have filled out specific forms on your site. So, 292 00:19:22.535 --> 00:19:27.035 these are just a few things that are coming soon, and, some things that have been released. 293 00:19:27.095 --> 00:19:30.360 And a lot of it is thanks to your feedback in the Facebook group. 294 00:19:30.360 --> 00:19:35.480 It's really helping us prioritize and identify things that are most important to you and the community. 295 00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:38.860 So if you ever have ideas, feel free to let us know, and, 296 00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:41.580 if we can make it happen, we certainly will. 297 00:19:42.705 --> 00:19:42.945 Alright. 298 00:19:42.945 --> 00:19:49.664 So generally, we'd have a tip of the week today, but we there was so much activity in the Facebook group the last week or two. 299 00:19:49.664 --> 00:19:55.845 We thought it'd be best to use this time to simply help and answer questions that you have on your site. 300 00:19:56.250 --> 00:19:58.270 Maybe you're stuck trying to do something, 301 00:19:59.210 --> 00:19:59.710 maybe 302 00:20:00.090 --> 00:20:02.910 you have a question about how something works, or, 303 00:20:03.370 --> 00:20:07.070 you need help strategizing on a direction to take your site in. 304 00:20:07.290 --> 00:20:10.270 So what we wanted to do is utilize the time today to 305 00:20:10.575 --> 00:20:12.414 simply help you with your site. 306 00:20:12.414 --> 00:20:20.755 So if you have any questions about, your site, this would be a great time to take some questions and see if we can assist you the best we can. 307 00:20:21.135 --> 00:20:21.534 Alright. 308 00:20:22.015 --> 00:20:26.620 Yeah. We got quite a few hands up here. Let's start with you, Roy. How are you doing, Roy? 309 00:20:26.679 --> 00:20:28.940 Very good. Thank you. And thank you for inviting me. 310 00:20:29.080 --> 00:20:32.140 I've got a question about the new feature about the, 311 00:20:32.919 --> 00:20:33.980 ability to, 312 00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:37.799 sort order feature that you're putting out. Can can I just be clear? 313 00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:39.820 Does that effectively mean that whereas 314 00:20:40.335 --> 00:20:41.715 in the past, it 315 00:20:42.015 --> 00:20:43.554 identifies recent members, 316 00:20:44.095 --> 00:20:48.034 now if you set it to random, it will actually cycle through all of the members 317 00:20:48.495 --> 00:20:49.955 in a particular category? 318 00:20:50.735 --> 00:20:54.929 Precisely. In in a particular that that are part of a particular membership level. Correct. 319 00:20:54.929 --> 00:20:56.769 If if you've decided to, 320 00:20:57.169 --> 00:20:59.110 filter by membership level. So, 321 00:20:59.570 --> 00:21:04.630 the one filter you can have here is only include members of a certain membership level, 322 00:21:05.970 --> 00:21:10.185 but, yeah, it will cycle through all of them and display them randomly. 323 00:21:10.485 --> 00:21:12.825 However, also good to me keep in mind, 324 00:21:13.525 --> 00:21:20.505 just for the sake of your home page's load time, by default, it's limited to a maximum of 24 results at a time. 325 00:21:21.045 --> 00:21:27.680 Generally, we've seen when it's more than that because of the images and and and the the query that runs to get the the members. 326 00:21:27.900 --> 00:21:31.680 24 is really a nice maximum to to have on your site. So, 327 00:21:32.300 --> 00:21:37.340 yes. It certainly will cycle through them randomly and display them on each page load. That's great. 328 00:21:37.340 --> 00:21:40.560 Thank you very much indeed. Alright. Thank you for the question. 329 00:21:42.275 --> 00:21:43.655 We got our good friend Martin. 330 00:21:44.035 --> 00:21:49.895 I think your your site was the, Orthopedic Surgeons Today site, and you're asking about changing, 331 00:21:50.755 --> 00:21:55.370 your domain name. There's a few things, to consider when when you're changing, 332 00:21:55.830 --> 00:21:56.970 the domain name. 333 00:21:57.510 --> 00:22:02.170 The first one is the existing traffic that you have coming into your site from Google. 334 00:22:02.790 --> 00:22:05.130 One thing that I I'd recommend doing before, 335 00:22:06.310 --> 00:22:09.050 changing, your domain name is 336 00:22:09.495 --> 00:22:10.455 setting up a, 337 00:22:11.735 --> 00:22:12.875 a Google Analytics 338 00:22:13.175 --> 00:22:13.675 account. 339 00:22:14.295 --> 00:22:18.075 Just let me let me load a sample one up here for us. Give me one moment. 340 00:22:20.135 --> 00:22:24.875 So what I what I recommend doing is setting up a Google Analytics account, 341 00:22:25.380 --> 00:22:27.400 And what what you really wanna do 342 00:22:27.700 --> 00:22:29.160 is under behavior, 343 00:22:30.100 --> 00:22:31.080 site content, 344 00:22:31.940 --> 00:22:32.760 all pages, 345 00:22:33.780 --> 00:22:35.720 I would track it for a few weeks, 346 00:22:36.420 --> 00:22:39.235 again, before changing your domain name. It is a really sensitive thing. 347 00:22:39.235 --> 00:22:43.655 You really wanna make sure that you're not gonna lose or you're gonna mitigate and minimize 348 00:22:44.035 --> 00:22:46.295 any traffic loss that's already coming, 349 00:22:46.755 --> 00:22:48.455 from your goo from Google, 350 00:22:48.995 --> 00:22:49.635 search results. 351 00:22:49.635 --> 00:22:55.649 So, well, this site really doesn't have much traffic, but the idea here is you wanna look at all your pages, and you wanna see, 352 00:22:56.350 --> 00:22:56.990 the pages. 353 00:22:56.990 --> 00:23:02.985 It shows you here what the URL is and what the page views are, and I think over a month's period, it's good. 354 00:23:03.145 --> 00:23:09.245 Basically, what you want to do is you want to export this list, and they do have an export tool here somewhere. 355 00:23:12.025 --> 00:23:18.525 Well, I can't see it right now, but there is an export tool here, or you could just look at this list and copy what you're seeing here. 356 00:23:18.660 --> 00:23:24.840 Put it in an Excel sheet, and once you do your domain switch, you wanna make sure that all your old URLs 357 00:23:25.300 --> 00:23:26.680 are pointing to 358 00:23:27.060 --> 00:23:31.000 the corresponding and respective pages of in your new URL. 359 00:23:32.020 --> 00:23:32.760 That way, 360 00:23:33.475 --> 00:23:36.855 the you're setting up proper redirect from your old website's 361 00:23:37.394 --> 00:23:38.294 domain URLs 362 00:23:38.674 --> 00:23:40.674 to your new website's domain URLs. 363 00:23:40.674 --> 00:23:44.934 Now, if you're switching from your BD site domain name, that's actually good because 364 00:23:45.235 --> 00:23:51.010 all the page URLs will essentially stay the same. The only thing that's gonna change is the root, 365 00:23:51.710 --> 00:23:54.770 which is for you, it's the orthopedic surgeons today, 366 00:23:55.470 --> 00:24:00.750 and everything else will stay the same. So you can actually I would work with the developer on this. 367 00:24:00.750 --> 00:24:01.650 It's it's nothing, 368 00:24:03.255 --> 00:24:08.715 it's nothing crazier, but I would work with the developer to set up your h what's called your HT access, 369 00:24:09.255 --> 00:24:10.475 and set up forwarding 370 00:24:11.175 --> 00:24:12.375 based on a URL. 371 00:24:12.375 --> 00:24:17.035 If the URLs match from your old domain, it'll send it to the new domain's corresponding, 372 00:24:18.220 --> 00:24:18.720 URL. 373 00:24:19.340 --> 00:24:24.000 The second thing you wanna do so basically, you wanna make sure your your top 100 pages 374 00:24:24.460 --> 00:24:27.440 are actually going to the new the new site's, 375 00:24:27.820 --> 00:24:31.760 URLs. And a developer can very easily help you set up HT access, 376 00:24:32.675 --> 00:24:36.455 so that forwarding happens successfully without skipping a beat. 377 00:24:36.835 --> 00:24:40.295 The second thing you wanna do is with your, Google search console, 378 00:24:41.155 --> 00:24:42.054 change domain, 379 00:24:42.915 --> 00:24:48.399 Google search console, You wanna inform Google of, here, the change of address tool. 380 00:24:48.539 --> 00:24:54.159 So this is a change of address tool, and it's you're basically telling Google, hey, this is my old domain. 381 00:24:54.299 --> 00:24:56.399 I'm gonna start using this new domain. 382 00:24:56.539 --> 00:25:01.205 And again, it's gonna help mitigate and minimize any potential traffic loss, 383 00:25:01.745 --> 00:25:02.725 from the domain 384 00:25:03.105 --> 00:25:07.365 change. So in my opinion, if you use the Google change of address tool, 385 00:25:08.065 --> 00:25:09.284 if you export 386 00:25:10.260 --> 00:25:12.520 your most highly trafficked pages 387 00:25:13.060 --> 00:25:17.720 using Google Analytics to identify what those pages are, and after the the transfer, 388 00:25:18.260 --> 00:25:22.360 spend the next twenty four hours making sure that, you've reconciled 389 00:25:22.660 --> 00:25:27.875 all the links from the old domain to the new domain, your most pop top 100 links. 390 00:25:28.095 --> 00:25:32.835 You're gonna help minimize and mitigate any, traffic loss, from from Google, 391 00:25:33.375 --> 00:25:34.995 search that you're already receiving. 392 00:25:35.215 --> 00:25:40.640 So those are just some tips for you there, and for anyone else who's thinking about changing their domain name. 393 00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:49.059 If your site just launched, you really don't need to worry about that stuff, but if your site's been online more than, you know, four to six months, you definitely wanna, take those two steps, 394 00:25:49.840 --> 00:25:54.260 in mind of using Google Analytics and using the change of address tool. 395 00:25:55.784 --> 00:25:58.365 And let's go with another j name here, Jacqueline. 396 00:25:58.985 --> 00:26:02.684 Alright. It looks like Jacqueline actually sent in a text question. 397 00:26:03.145 --> 00:26:08.684 Okay. She said, when will we be able to turn add ons on and off on our own? 398 00:26:09.470 --> 00:26:10.690 So that's a good question. 399 00:26:11.710 --> 00:26:16.050 Some add ons already do have, some settings. I'll I'll just show you real quick. 400 00:26:17.310 --> 00:26:19.810 I have a follow-up question. Which add on specifically, 401 00:26:20.510 --> 00:26:23.625 are you looking to turn on and off? That might help us. 402 00:26:23.625 --> 00:26:26.285 Maybe we already have a setting for for some of it. But, 403 00:26:26.585 --> 00:26:28.925 as an example, in the search results design, 404 00:26:29.465 --> 00:26:32.345 you can enable or disable your Google search assist. 405 00:26:32.345 --> 00:26:36.765 The the text visitor location that we were talking about, you can enable or disable this. 406 00:26:37.950 --> 00:26:38.450 In 407 00:26:38.750 --> 00:26:44.850 the edit post settings, you can choose what type of pagination you you want, if you want the regular pagination or the instaload. 408 00:26:45.550 --> 00:26:47.809 So, Jacqueline, if you wanna follow-up with, 409 00:26:48.350 --> 00:26:50.530 maybe maybe we do have a setting for something, 410 00:26:50.910 --> 00:26:54.425 we can definitely address that for you if you wanna type it in. 411 00:26:54.565 --> 00:26:59.685 And while she's doing that, let's head on over to Scott here. How you doing, Scott? Hey. Good. 412 00:26:59.685 --> 00:27:03.625 How are you? Pretty good. Pretty good. Thanks for joining us today. What's your question for us? 413 00:27:03.860 --> 00:27:09.140 If I could give you my site address, I wouldn't mind if you guys would look at it and just give me some feedback. 414 00:27:09.140 --> 00:27:13.400 I wanna launch it pretty soon, but Sure. I was a little bit gun shy because 415 00:27:13.700 --> 00:27:19.080 I don't have a whole lot of content on it. But I do wanna kinda start building it slowly by adding 416 00:27:19.565 --> 00:27:27.345 businesses into it because I have a a small local Facebook group that I wanna launch it to and then just start getting them to 417 00:27:27.725 --> 00:27:34.290 start filling it in as I as it grows. Sure. What's the name of the site? It's, what's up norwin 418 00:27:34.750 --> 00:27:35.410 dot com. 419 00:27:36.350 --> 00:27:37.730 Alright. Let's take a look 420 00:27:38.190 --> 00:27:38.690 here. 421 00:27:39.870 --> 00:27:41.570 Okay. Where is Norwin located? 422 00:27:43.870 --> 00:27:46.125 We're Southeast of Pittsburgh. Okay. 423 00:27:48.105 --> 00:27:48.605 Alright. 424 00:27:49.304 --> 00:27:49.804 So 425 00:27:51.705 --> 00:27:53.725 tell me in one or two sentences, 426 00:27:54.505 --> 00:27:56.365 what the purpose of the site is here. 427 00:27:58.820 --> 00:28:01.800 Well, it serves two purposes. The first one is, 428 00:28:02.340 --> 00:28:03.480 basically to provide, 429 00:28:04.740 --> 00:28:06.680 the latest news and events, 430 00:28:08.180 --> 00:28:12.420 for that particular area. I do direct mail, and I do advertising in that area. 431 00:28:12.420 --> 00:28:18.315 I run a a Facebook page to that area, and I get about I was getting about close to 500 visits 432 00:28:18.855 --> 00:28:19.434 a day, 433 00:28:20.534 --> 00:28:24.395 on a WordPress site, and I switched it over just recently to 434 00:28:24.934 --> 00:28:25.755 Brilliant Directories 435 00:28:26.100 --> 00:28:28.500 so the traffic's can still be coming here. 436 00:28:28.500 --> 00:28:32.360 But then I want it to also be a a good hub for people to find 437 00:28:32.660 --> 00:28:36.039 local businesses in their in their area that they can support. So 438 00:28:36.340 --> 00:28:42.135 it's for local businesses, but yet at the same time, I want residents to to be able to get in there and look at things as well. 439 00:28:42.135 --> 00:28:45.195 But they're mainly gonna be there probably because of the news links 440 00:28:45.575 --> 00:28:47.434 that I'm gonna be posting on my Facebook, 441 00:28:47.895 --> 00:28:51.195 page. I've got about 5,000 people following that. 442 00:28:51.735 --> 00:28:54.315 Okay. Great. Great. I have some some 443 00:28:54.690 --> 00:28:56.690 tips, just some overview. You can, 444 00:28:57.730 --> 00:28:58.389 take it, 445 00:28:58.690 --> 00:29:00.210 to take what you like from it. 446 00:29:00.690 --> 00:29:03.809 So it's good. So your site has basically three main focuses. 447 00:29:03.809 --> 00:29:07.750 It's it's news and articles and events, and then the the business directory. 448 00:29:09.355 --> 00:29:12.654 With that said, and because your site is just starting out, 449 00:29:13.514 --> 00:29:17.215 to make your workload a lot easier, I would recommend removing, 450 00:29:18.154 --> 00:29:18.654 classifieds, 451 00:29:18.955 --> 00:29:19.455 jobs, 452 00:29:19.835 --> 00:29:22.735 and properties, and anything else that will just 453 00:29:23.100 --> 00:29:25.360 create more work for you in the beginning stages. 454 00:29:26.059 --> 00:29:26.559 And 455 00:29:26.860 --> 00:29:40.895 what what you can, and sounds like you're very proficient at, what you can do is start adding news and events and business listings to the site, and focus your energy on those so that you can fill those areas with good quality and meaningful content. 456 00:29:40.955 --> 00:29:43.615 Your site becomes a valid and good resource. 457 00:29:43.995 --> 00:29:47.375 People can see it quickly. And again, you're cutting your workload down, 458 00:29:47.835 --> 00:29:53.270 from having to fill out more sections of your site with just key things that you wanna start out with. 459 00:29:55.570 --> 00:29:57.030 Another thing I would recommend 460 00:29:57.410 --> 00:29:58.870 for the business directory, 461 00:29:59.570 --> 00:30:02.710 I always like to if you're especially if it's in a local area, 462 00:30:03.105 --> 00:30:03.605 find 463 00:30:04.065 --> 00:30:05.045 maybe, something 464 00:30:05.505 --> 00:30:07.845 more prestigious to call the directory, like, 465 00:30:08.625 --> 00:30:09.525 preferred business, 466 00:30:10.225 --> 00:30:12.725 directory. You know, it could still be a directory or 467 00:30:13.184 --> 00:30:13.765 a preferred 468 00:30:14.705 --> 00:30:15.205 business 469 00:30:16.570 --> 00:30:17.070 network, 470 00:30:17.690 --> 00:30:19.790 something that just gives it a little bit more, 471 00:30:20.970 --> 00:30:22.910 inherent value or perceived value 472 00:30:23.210 --> 00:30:24.750 simply because of what you're 473 00:30:25.050 --> 00:30:26.090 what you're calling it. 474 00:30:26.570 --> 00:30:27.550 You know, top 475 00:30:28.490 --> 00:30:28.990 Norwin 476 00:30:29.485 --> 00:30:29.985 business 477 00:30:30.924 --> 00:30:34.385 directory or pages, whatever you wanna call it there. But add some prestige, 478 00:30:35.005 --> 00:30:37.825 a little bit more than just calling it a Norwin business directory. 479 00:30:39.245 --> 00:30:40.605 Again, that that'll just, 480 00:30:41.085 --> 00:30:44.370 add a bit more perceived and inherent value for people who are 481 00:30:44.690 --> 00:30:45.590 browsing it. 482 00:30:47.090 --> 00:30:50.870 You mean you mean just basically, like, in the title there where the logo is? 483 00:30:52.450 --> 00:30:53.510 I think your logo's, 484 00:30:55.010 --> 00:30:57.910 great. So you have, like, these different sections here. 485 00:30:59.365 --> 00:31:02.024 Latest news. Find a business is is also, 486 00:31:02.965 --> 00:31:03.465 good. 487 00:31:05.684 --> 00:31:07.625 But when you go to the 488 00:31:09.445 --> 00:31:10.825 find a business page, 489 00:31:13.090 --> 00:31:15.669 I'm just thinking somewhere on the site that makes 490 00:31:15.970 --> 00:31:18.049 the bit because your site has different sections. Right? 491 00:31:18.049 --> 00:31:20.309 You're gonna have the events section, the news section, 492 00:31:20.610 --> 00:31:23.830 maybe another resource page, and then you're gonna have the business directory. 493 00:31:24.245 --> 00:31:28.505 However you're linking to the business directory, just find something that elevates the value 494 00:31:28.805 --> 00:31:30.585 of it a bit more than just, 495 00:31:31.765 --> 00:31:33.145 you know, find a business. 496 00:31:33.525 --> 00:31:35.545 And and that just comes down to verbiage. 497 00:31:36.390 --> 00:31:38.230 My mind's not as sharp as it usually is. 498 00:31:38.230 --> 00:31:42.470 I'd have, like, five or six examples for you, but something that just elevates it, 499 00:31:43.190 --> 00:31:47.770 or or just adds a bit more perceived value and inherent value for what it is. 500 00:31:48.390 --> 00:31:50.865 Like, Yeah. I I I think I understand. 501 00:31:50.865 --> 00:31:55.825 I think I remember seeing a video that you had said something about that before for, like, a local business. 502 00:31:55.825 --> 00:32:02.225 I mean, I have the welcome to preferred the preferred guide about the Northern area way up top, whether that shows up on mobile. 503 00:32:02.225 --> 00:32:03.445 I think it does, but 504 00:32:03.860 --> 00:32:05.400 there you go. I think I understand. 505 00:32:05.700 --> 00:32:08.660 You're all you're already doing it. Yeah. I I actually I I apologize. 506 00:32:08.660 --> 00:32:10.420 I didn't see this, but you're already doing it. 507 00:32:10.420 --> 00:32:14.660 I know I just came up with guide also here before seeing this. So preferred business guide. 508 00:32:14.660 --> 00:32:18.315 I think it might be in the foot I think it might be in the footer too. I'm not sure if it is. 509 00:32:18.315 --> 00:32:19.615 It might be at the bottom 510 00:32:20.794 --> 00:32:22.075 in the left. Maybe not. 511 00:32:22.075 --> 00:32:26.475 I need probably need to change join our preferred guide down at the bottom in that button. 512 00:32:26.475 --> 00:32:29.215 But, yeah, maybe I need to add some more in there. 513 00:32:30.120 --> 00:32:30.620 Gotcha. 514 00:32:32.360 --> 00:32:38.220 And then, because you have such a good wealth of of of, wealth, you're gonna have events and news, 515 00:32:39.080 --> 00:32:39.560 perhaps 516 00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:41.580 and I'll just show you another example. 517 00:32:41.640 --> 00:32:47.735 Maybe you don't wanna start with just the business search here because people coming here, maybe they don't they're not searching for a business. 518 00:32:47.735 --> 00:32:49.195 They just wanna get information. 519 00:32:50.295 --> 00:32:51.815 So what you can do instead 520 00:32:52.775 --> 00:32:53.755 I like this. 521 00:32:54.215 --> 00:32:56.315 People are using that hero section 522 00:32:57.110 --> 00:32:58.730 for more of, like, a message. 523 00:32:59.190 --> 00:33:00.970 You don't necessarily have to have 524 00:33:01.350 --> 00:33:02.010 a button, 525 00:33:02.710 --> 00:33:03.030 but, 526 00:33:03.670 --> 00:33:08.890 you can use that hero section not for a search, but to welcome people who are coming to the site. 527 00:33:09.350 --> 00:33:09.850 Or 528 00:33:10.445 --> 00:33:14.705 what you can do is maybe you have an article about some hot local news, 529 00:33:15.245 --> 00:33:18.625 use that article image as the background image, and then, 530 00:33:19.165 --> 00:33:20.684 you know, link to that article. 531 00:33:20.684 --> 00:33:26.380 So it becomes more of a publication style and not just about a the searchable directory. 532 00:33:26.840 --> 00:33:36.060 And the only reason I like that is it adds a little bit more wealth and and rich richness to the site rather than just being another yellow pages site. 533 00:33:36.585 --> 00:33:37.085 So, 534 00:33:38.025 --> 00:33:42.525 just think about using your hero section for more than than just the search. 535 00:33:42.905 --> 00:33:46.285 You can use If I can jump in, going along with that, 536 00:33:46.665 --> 00:33:52.360 if you still do wanna put more emphasis on the business directory aspect of your website, 537 00:33:52.900 --> 00:33:56.440 you do already have it in the main menu, but you could also make that one 538 00:33:56.980 --> 00:34:00.040 menu item for the business directory a different color. 539 00:34:00.100 --> 00:34:05.345 Just like how this one joined the circle is a different color to make it stand out and put a little bit more emphasis, 540 00:34:05.965 --> 00:34:09.105 on that specific link. Okay. Yeah. That's a good idea. 541 00:34:09.645 --> 00:34:14.764 I mean, if you go to the, go back to my site, you scroll down, the next thing I have is news. 542 00:34:14.764 --> 00:34:17.505 That's what I kinda want people to be able to see next. 543 00:34:19.230 --> 00:34:22.690 So that might give me some ideas about how to change that a little bit. 544 00:34:24.670 --> 00:34:25.790 I think what you're doing is Yeah. 545 00:34:25.790 --> 00:34:34.335 I do want to more focus on news, but I do realize that people are probably just gonna get to, like, if may most of my traffic is coming from the Facebook page, 546 00:34:34.635 --> 00:34:37.135 they're probably gonna be going to individual news articles. 547 00:34:37.434 --> 00:34:41.614 So maybe what I need to do is look at that first and see what they're actually gonna be seeing. 548 00:34:42.554 --> 00:34:44.635 Right. So I can reach a red bar. 549 00:34:44.635 --> 00:34:48.020 Because the businesses if if you're if you're trying to monetize from the businesses, 550 00:34:48.400 --> 00:34:50.640 they're gonna wanna see that your site is 551 00:34:51.360 --> 00:34:59.700 you know, when you go to Yelp, you know, or another site, everything is consumer driven, and then the businesses just know that that you're driving consumer traffic. 552 00:35:01.115 --> 00:35:02.974 So that's only why I say, 553 00:35:04.155 --> 00:35:11.935 if you put a stronger emphasis on the news and event content, and then the business is like secondary, but it's still a prestigious part of your site, 554 00:35:12.490 --> 00:35:15.630 because you're calling it a preferred business guide or something like that. 555 00:35:16.250 --> 00:35:20.030 With those two together, it's gonna be a really it's gonna be a much easier, 556 00:35:20.650 --> 00:35:25.710 selling proposition when you're when you're going to businesses and asking them to participate on your site. 557 00:35:26.090 --> 00:35:26.590 Okay. 558 00:35:27.305 --> 00:35:29.725 But overall, I think it's great. Thank you. You're welcome. 559 00:35:30.025 --> 00:35:33.325 Alright. We've got Toby's got his hand up. How you doing, Toby? 560 00:35:33.785 --> 00:35:37.145 Yeah. I'm good. Thanks. On that join the circle where the, 561 00:35:37.865 --> 00:35:42.809 the the, menu bar is highlighted in a different color, how do I create that? Great question. 562 00:35:43.670 --> 00:35:46.089 I'd love to show you. Can we use your site as an example? 563 00:35:46.470 --> 00:35:52.250 Yeah. Let me put it in the chat box for you. Yeah. Launch +1 9091. 564 00:35:52.549 --> 00:35:55.030 Yep. I'm really just early doors just, 565 00:35:55.430 --> 00:35:56.950 getting getting the feel of it. So 566 00:35:57.775 --> 00:35:58.595 Okay. Great. 567 00:35:58.975 --> 00:35:59.475 Alright. 568 00:36:00.175 --> 00:36:02.595 So let's, check out what you've got so far. 569 00:36:04.175 --> 00:36:04.675 Okay. 570 00:36:04.975 --> 00:36:05.475 So, 571 00:36:06.015 --> 00:36:06.515 okay. 572 00:36:07.135 --> 00:36:10.335 Love how you're using your homepage to you've created this. 573 00:36:10.335 --> 00:36:14.580 Again, I love seeing when the homepage is, you know, showing something else here. 574 00:36:14.720 --> 00:36:18.020 So main menu, how do you change the color of one of the bars? 575 00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:22.020 So let me let me show you first. Let's go to your design settings. 576 00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:23.760 Everyone has this. 577 00:36:23.760 --> 00:36:29.135 In your design settings, you have what's called the default default button colors, and there's six of them. 578 00:36:29.455 --> 00:36:31.635 There's your primary, info success, 579 00:36:32.015 --> 00:36:35.715 warning, danger, and default. Usually, when you set your default colors, 580 00:36:36.015 --> 00:36:40.675 those are basically your theme colors, and your header design and menu design will probably, 581 00:36:41.740 --> 00:36:45.760 utilize some of the similar colors you you you're using for your default button colors. 582 00:36:46.060 --> 00:36:46.560 So, 583 00:36:47.420 --> 00:36:51.660 with that said, let's keep in mind we have primary warning, danger, default success. 584 00:36:51.660 --> 00:36:58.414 Let's say you wanted to use the same success color you're using in one of your main menu links, Toby. 585 00:36:58.954 --> 00:37:01.214 So let's head on over to your menu manager, 586 00:37:03.994 --> 00:37:06.575 and we'll go to your main menu. 587 00:37:08.090 --> 00:37:13.070 So which is one what what is one link you'd want to potentially highlight? Find a business, 588 00:37:13.450 --> 00:37:14.990 shop Well, probably find 589 00:37:15.290 --> 00:37:17.470 probably find a business. Okay. Great. 590 00:37:18.010 --> 00:37:21.790 So what we wanna do is here's that the menu item, find a business. 591 00:37:22.745 --> 00:37:25.885 So what you wanna do is toggle open settings tab. 592 00:37:27.065 --> 00:37:27.565 Mhmm. 593 00:37:28.025 --> 00:37:33.085 And what you can do so we're gonna use the success one. So we're just gonna do b g hyphen 594 00:37:34.345 --> 00:37:38.060 success. That means background success. So this element, 595 00:37:38.440 --> 00:37:40.520 use the success color as the background color. 596 00:37:40.520 --> 00:37:44.360 So what I like to do is just do it for both the menu item and the l I class. 597 00:37:44.360 --> 00:37:48.300 They're just they're two elements built into each other. So if we do that 598 00:37:48.600 --> 00:37:49.980 and we cross our fingers, 599 00:37:50.975 --> 00:37:52.595 if we refresh the page, 600 00:37:54.895 --> 00:37:57.375 you should now have that as as green there. 601 00:37:57.375 --> 00:38:02.355 And the same thing would work if you use b g hyphen danger or b g hyphen warning. 602 00:38:03.180 --> 00:38:07.680 It would use the respective color that you have set in your design settings for that button color. 603 00:38:07.740 --> 00:38:11.980 Perfect. Thank you very much indeed. Alright. Good question there. Thank you. Alright. 604 00:38:12.220 --> 00:38:14.240 Sue's got their hand up here. 605 00:38:14.700 --> 00:38:18.560 Let's see April's hand here. She's been busy in the Facebook group. How you doing, April? 606 00:38:19.285 --> 00:38:21.945 Hi. How are you? Good. Good. Good. Thanks for joining the webinar. 607 00:38:22.965 --> 00:38:25.625 Okay. So my question is and I just joined, 608 00:38:26.165 --> 00:38:29.705 BD, I wanna say five days ago. So really, really new. 609 00:38:30.085 --> 00:38:31.305 The thing is the website. 610 00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:37.660 So when you log in as a member, I see that there's a member ID number which the system generates. 611 00:38:38.600 --> 00:38:42.300 Is there any way that, one, that can be made 612 00:38:42.920 --> 00:38:43.420 public, 613 00:38:44.295 --> 00:38:48.474 And then also do the post. I I would love to have 614 00:38:49.095 --> 00:38:49.755 the post 615 00:38:50.454 --> 00:38:52.474 have their own post 616 00:38:52.935 --> 00:38:55.675 ID number, if that's possible. 617 00:38:56.650 --> 00:38:59.050 Sure. What's what's your site I what's your site name? 618 00:38:59.050 --> 00:39:01.710 I could take a look and we could see if we could add that for you now. 619 00:39:02.250 --> 00:39:02.750 Okay. 620 00:39:03.530 --> 00:39:06.670 So I just started audiosi so it's like a hot mess. 621 00:39:07.050 --> 00:39:12.665 It's okay. But, it the launch number is 19229. 622 00:39:13.444 --> 00:39:14.724 Let's do the member one first. 623 00:39:14.724 --> 00:39:19.145 I think that'll be a bit straightforward, and then let's see if we can do the one for your for your post. 624 00:39:19.204 --> 00:39:19.704 Okay? 625 00:39:20.165 --> 00:39:22.905 So let's take a look at a member's profile real quick. 626 00:39:23.670 --> 00:39:25.530 Let's do a quick search. Okay. 627 00:39:26.869 --> 00:39:31.609 And okay. So here's a member's profile. So here's what we can do actually. 628 00:39:32.470 --> 00:39:34.490 It should be pretty pretty straightforward. 629 00:39:36.309 --> 00:39:38.170 Let's go to your form manager, 630 00:39:40.815 --> 00:39:42.355 and let's customize 631 00:39:42.815 --> 00:39:43.315 the 632 00:39:44.975 --> 00:39:46.515 listing contact details 633 00:39:50.255 --> 00:39:51.235 for your site. 634 00:39:52.890 --> 00:39:53.390 And 635 00:39:53.690 --> 00:39:57.770 it requires you to do a change. So I'll just do a quick change there, and then we can get it. 636 00:39:57.770 --> 00:39:59.869 What I'm gonna do is add the member's ID 637 00:40:00.569 --> 00:40:02.430 to this, and it'll only display, 638 00:40:03.770 --> 00:40:06.990 when they're when you're looking at the at the public profile page. 639 00:40:07.475 --> 00:40:09.255 So now that we have that, 640 00:40:12.115 --> 00:40:15.255 I'll save the changes again. So we're gonna add a new field, 641 00:40:18.515 --> 00:40:21.415 and what we wanna do is this is going to be, 642 00:40:22.260 --> 00:40:28.120 a single line input. And what do you wanna call it on a pub a public page, pro member profile ID? 643 00:40:29.460 --> 00:40:32.040 Yeah. Let's call it that. Okay. 644 00:40:32.260 --> 00:40:37.305 Member profile, and I believe it's user ID is the existing variable we have for this. 645 00:40:37.464 --> 00:40:43.385 What we're gonna do is we're gonna choose to only show this in display view, not on input view. 646 00:40:43.385 --> 00:40:45.005 So display view means 647 00:40:45.625 --> 00:40:49.165 when this field has a value, do we wanna show it on the public 648 00:40:49.480 --> 00:40:50.540 side of the site? 649 00:40:50.840 --> 00:40:52.780 So we're gonna do this to yes. 650 00:40:53.080 --> 00:40:55.640 On the flip side, we don't wanna show input view. 651 00:40:55.640 --> 00:41:00.380 So when the when the member is filling out the form, we don't wanna show them the member ID, 652 00:41:01.240 --> 00:41:01.725 here. 653 00:41:01.805 --> 00:41:07.345 We could set it as read only so they know their member ID, but it's already in their sidebar, so it would be a bit redundant, 654 00:41:07.965 --> 00:41:10.865 to include it here. So I think we just wanna display it, 655 00:41:11.725 --> 00:41:14.155 and then we can choose where we want to place. 656 00:41:15.430 --> 00:41:15.750 Got it. 657 00:41:15.750 --> 00:41:27.130 And, also, before you move, forward, just a quick is there a a page on the website that lists all the available system variables so I can look these up myself 1 x 1 as well? 658 00:41:27.350 --> 00:41:28.970 I think we have a cheat sheet. 659 00:41:29.885 --> 00:41:33.885 Let me let me add it here, and then let me go do a quick Google search for our cheat sheet. 660 00:41:33.885 --> 00:41:39.105 I think we have a cheat sheet Okay. For member variables as well as post variables too. So, 661 00:41:39.885 --> 00:41:42.285 Got it. So let's do this. Let's just save this real quick. 662 00:41:42.285 --> 00:41:46.780 Let's see if we can get it to display on this member's profile page. Page. 663 00:41:47.160 --> 00:41:47.800 Okay. Got it. 664 00:41:47.800 --> 00:41:52.300 The con this is in the contact form, so it should show right above the company name here. 665 00:41:54.760 --> 00:41:56.700 Let me move it underneath this title. 666 00:41:57.800 --> 00:41:58.425 Got it. 667 00:42:05.545 --> 00:42:11.565 So this is the member profile ID one, so that's there. Let let Now let's do the posts. 668 00:42:11.865 --> 00:42:13.965 Okay. So let's look at Charlie here, 669 00:42:14.265 --> 00:42:16.660 and I think we can do the same password here. 670 00:42:17.200 --> 00:42:18.420 So you're using 671 00:42:19.200 --> 00:42:21.779 I added a fake dog ID. 672 00:42:22.640 --> 00:42:27.619 Like, I just, you know, made up my own. I made it as a I added it to the form 673 00:42:28.385 --> 00:42:33.444 just so I could visually see what it would look like, but kind of that's what I would wanna do. 674 00:42:33.585 --> 00:42:38.224 You got it. I'll be We can use we can use the same logic here. Now which form is that? 675 00:42:38.224 --> 00:42:40.645 Is that the available dogs or the dogs form? 676 00:42:41.349 --> 00:42:45.770 It's it's the dogs one. Okay. We can use the same concept that we just did. 677 00:42:47.109 --> 00:42:53.369 So here you have the dog ID. So we it is a photo album, so what we can actually do is let's go to, 678 00:42:53.904 --> 00:42:56.404 I just wanna go to your MySQL here. I don't remember 679 00:42:56.785 --> 00:42:58.464 off the top of my head what that is, but, 680 00:42:59.744 --> 00:43:06.005 each each photo it's a photo album, basically, that each photo album does have an ID, so we just have to get that 681 00:43:06.710 --> 00:43:09.450 variable, and we should be good. So this is called Charlie. 682 00:43:10.549 --> 00:43:13.130 So that is going to be, user portfolio 683 00:43:13.510 --> 00:43:18.569 groups. That's the entire group. So here's Charlie, and here it's called the, 684 00:43:19.125 --> 00:43:23.545 the group ID. So all we have to do is put in a group ID here. 685 00:43:24.885 --> 00:43:26.265 Very close what you did. 686 00:43:27.525 --> 00:43:30.745 And we're gonna do the same thing. I think you did it right. You did. 687 00:43:32.820 --> 00:43:35.060 So we don't want this on the I just input view. 688 00:43:35.060 --> 00:43:38.520 So I'm gonna remove that, and we'll remove the default value. 689 00:43:40.100 --> 00:43:47.480 And the you really don't want the users to see this because it's it's automatically assigned by the system, but on the front end, we can show the dog ID number. 690 00:43:47.994 --> 00:43:52.335 So we can do it. So let's see if this works. Charlie's number is 691 00:43:53.355 --> 00:43:54.234 66. 692 00:43:54.395 --> 00:43:56.494 The group ID. So let's save this. 693 00:44:00.155 --> 00:44:02.015 Let's see if it corresponds 694 00:44:02.315 --> 00:44:02.815 here. 695 00:44:07.950 --> 00:44:09.009 So there you go. 696 00:44:09.309 --> 00:44:11.170 Okay. Thank you for your questions. 697 00:44:11.869 --> 00:44:14.690 Okay. Good good energetic questions there from April. 698 00:44:15.390 --> 00:44:17.970 I see Rich has his hand up. How are you doing, Rich? 699 00:44:19.155 --> 00:44:21.575 Great, man. How's it going? Good. Good. Where are you calling in from? 700 00:44:22.195 --> 00:44:23.175 Atlanta, Georgia. 701 00:44:23.635 --> 00:44:28.675 Okay. Okay. Great. And what's your question for us? And we chatted on the, Facebook group earlier. 702 00:44:28.675 --> 00:44:30.615 We just launched the podcasters directory. 703 00:44:31.160 --> 00:44:33.660 Oh, right. Right. Right. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. 704 00:44:34.280 --> 00:44:37.640 What we're thinking is, you know, we're we're still in kinda prelaunch. 705 00:44:37.640 --> 00:44:40.940 And so it's live, but we're we haven't done an official 706 00:44:41.400 --> 00:44:46.535 promotion and, invited members to join yet. We're still kinda beta testing some of the features. 707 00:44:46.535 --> 00:44:52.474 But one of the main things I'm thinking about doing is instead of just offering a pricing table of three for them to join as a, 708 00:44:52.934 --> 00:44:55.515 podcaster I mean, a guest, a podcaster, and a sponsor, 709 00:44:55.815 --> 00:44:59.755 splitting that like the like the like the law lawyer site did, 710 00:45:00.240 --> 00:45:02.000 where they have one tab for, 711 00:45:03.040 --> 00:45:06.340 lawyers and one for, you know, consultants or whatever it was. 712 00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:09.120 Yeah. So in our case, we wanted to look at doing 713 00:45:09.760 --> 00:45:10.900 if you go to our, 714 00:45:11.520 --> 00:45:12.660 you know, get listed, 715 00:45:13.525 --> 00:45:15.225 this is our current pricing table. 716 00:45:15.445 --> 00:45:21.865 Because like you mentioned in the chat, you know, we wanna fill up the bucket mainly for podcasters to start off with and the rest will kinda follow. 717 00:45:22.325 --> 00:45:26.905 And so we're the idea is be a guest or book a guest on a podcast. So if you're a 718 00:45:27.680 --> 00:45:34.740 CPA in Ohio and you wanna be on a podcast, you're not a podcaster, you just wanna be a guest on a podcast to talk about promote your, 719 00:45:35.520 --> 00:45:36.260 your business, 720 00:45:36.880 --> 00:45:38.020 that's a great opportunity. 721 00:45:38.080 --> 00:45:43.645 And podcasters are always, you know, sometimes struggling, but always, you know, looking to, for new guest. 722 00:45:44.345 --> 00:45:49.165 So funny the similarities between your your site and this this lawyer site because 723 00:45:49.865 --> 00:45:51.325 because this this 724 00:45:51.705 --> 00:45:53.245 this iLaw Connect site 725 00:45:53.930 --> 00:45:54.750 is a directory of 726 00:45:55.050 --> 00:45:57.550 either attorney listings or expert witnesses. 727 00:45:58.090 --> 00:46:06.830 And expert witnesses are like the guests because they're experts on the topic, and lawyers, sometimes in a trial or a deposition or whatever it might be, they need 728 00:46:07.275 --> 00:46:09.934 to to find an expert witness on a topic. 729 00:46:11.355 --> 00:46:16.255 Most famous famously, the movie My Cousin Vinny when she comes in and talks about the cars. 730 00:46:17.275 --> 00:46:22.414 Right. But but same for you. Yeah. You're creating basically, you're creating a marketplace here. 731 00:46:23.970 --> 00:46:24.690 You know, I don't 732 00:46:25.650 --> 00:46:29.750 you can certainly do that. You can do the path. You can create a page that just kind 733 00:46:30.130 --> 00:46:31.190 of funnels people, 734 00:46:31.730 --> 00:46:34.310 down and and see how that works. I think 735 00:46:34.930 --> 00:46:35.750 what's gonna 736 00:46:36.385 --> 00:46:41.065 be more valuable is doing a little bit of trial and error. So before you Right. 737 00:46:41.265 --> 00:46:42.965 Cast a big marketing net, 738 00:46:43.425 --> 00:46:48.645 you you're probably gonna need to try a couple different landing pages to see which ones convert the best. 739 00:46:49.760 --> 00:46:52.020 Okay. If you're going after the podcasters 740 00:46:52.400 --> 00:46:52.900 first, 741 00:46:54.400 --> 00:46:55.060 you know, 742 00:46:55.920 --> 00:46:58.660 is that right? What you're gonna do is is is kind of 743 00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:03.224 try to try to get other pod get podcasters to join your site. 744 00:47:03.224 --> 00:47:06.425 So if I was a podcaster, I'd wanna know, okay, well, who are the guests? 745 00:47:06.425 --> 00:47:08.365 I probably don't wanna show them this. 746 00:47:08.744 --> 00:47:13.224 You probably wanna show them the purpose of your site is a podcaster directory. 747 00:47:13.224 --> 00:47:15.325 Now, again, another similarity here, 748 00:47:15.710 --> 00:47:17.809 you know, there's there's a site called Capterra, 749 00:47:18.829 --> 00:47:22.829 and it's a directory of software. It's just find better software. Right? 750 00:47:22.829 --> 00:47:28.369 So their whole focus is we have software in different categories, right, software categories. 751 00:47:29.309 --> 00:47:29.809 So, 752 00:47:30.265 --> 00:47:33.244 you know, this could be like podcasts. Like, find a podcast. 753 00:47:33.305 --> 00:47:37.725 What genre of podcasts are you looking for? Mystery, educational history, this and so 754 00:47:38.185 --> 00:47:48.970 if you're gonna create that marketplace with the guests and the sponsors, I think first what you need to have is a good like, the software directory, you need to have a good podcast directory. 755 00:47:49.590 --> 00:47:51.850 And Right. In order to start, 756 00:47:52.550 --> 00:47:57.130 you might wanna follow a model like this. They really are just about finding better software. 757 00:47:57.545 --> 00:47:59.725 They're like they're like Yeah. I see. Yeah. 758 00:48:00.265 --> 00:48:03.805 If I came to this and I said find better podcast to listen to, 759 00:48:04.185 --> 00:48:05.485 right, and that was 760 00:48:05.785 --> 00:48:09.725 your that's what the homepage said, and then it's find podcast by category. 761 00:48:10.160 --> 00:48:11.940 Tell us what you're interested in. 762 00:48:12.160 --> 00:48:16.740 Join our newsletter to get podcast of the our recommended podcast of the month. 763 00:48:17.360 --> 00:48:18.580 If I was a podcaster, 764 00:48:18.880 --> 00:48:20.260 I'd wanna be in that 765 00:48:20.560 --> 00:48:21.600 eco e, 766 00:48:22.320 --> 00:48:23.380 in that sphere. 767 00:48:24.684 --> 00:48:33.905 If I knew that you're gonna help me promote my podcast and categorize it and help me find a larger audience, I'd I'd be more inclined to join your site. 768 00:48:35.885 --> 00:48:36.125 Yeah. 769 00:48:36.125 --> 00:48:41.329 I hear what you say, but, you know, we've kind of, shopped this at some trade shows, some podcasting, 770 00:48:42.029 --> 00:48:44.829 you know, major events and so forth, having a, 771 00:48:45.309 --> 00:48:46.529 an exhibitor booth. 772 00:48:47.069 --> 00:48:49.490 And, we've gotten great response from podcasters. 773 00:48:49.710 --> 00:49:01.185 And the premise is, I hear what you're saying, but the spin on it is there's a ton of, websites and platforms where people can promote their podcast and list and list their podcast, you know, on Spreaker, on SoundCloud, 774 00:49:01.485 --> 00:49:03.425 on, you know, iTunes, on iHeartRadio. 775 00:49:03.725 --> 00:49:04.945 There's a there's a million 776 00:49:05.340 --> 00:49:06.560 directories of, 777 00:49:06.940 --> 00:49:10.320 you know, you as a podcaster promoting your podcast, you know, 778 00:49:11.020 --> 00:49:12.540 Spotify and so forth. Right? 779 00:49:12.540 --> 00:49:20.545 So our our thought is the different spin on it is this is the the, if you click on how it works, I think it breaks it down a little bit. 780 00:49:20.545 --> 00:49:21.685 So the premise is, 781 00:49:22.625 --> 00:49:28.145 to define it, but, like, do you wanna be a you wanna be a guest on a podcast or you wanna book a guest? 782 00:49:28.145 --> 00:49:31.925 Do you wanna book Jason on your podcast to talk about Brilliant Directory? 783 00:49:32.385 --> 00:49:33.425 You know what I mean? 784 00:49:34.145 --> 00:49:40.440 So that's that's the niche that we think is is gonna be huge because, again, there's tons of places where you can 785 00:49:40.820 --> 00:49:48.260 you can grab your phone and you can just search any app on your phone will tell you where a podcaster played and, you know, subjects you can listen to. 786 00:49:48.260 --> 00:49:49.720 But the challenge for podcasters, 787 00:49:51.095 --> 00:49:53.935 is finding those guests. No. And I get what you're saying. 788 00:49:53.935 --> 00:49:58.115 And it's a again, I told you it's it's probably so relevant what you're creating here. 789 00:49:58.655 --> 00:50:01.155 Just one tip is because you're creating a marketplace, 790 00:50:02.895 --> 00:50:06.370 it's always good it's always good to get put your energy 791 00:50:06.750 --> 00:50:07.250 into, 792 00:50:08.030 --> 00:50:08.530 acquiring 793 00:50:08.990 --> 00:50:13.170 one side of the marketplace. And once you have that Right. Then once you have that marketplace, 794 00:50:13.710 --> 00:50:17.730 pivot your offering and then go after the the second half of the the marketplace. 795 00:50:18.030 --> 00:50:21.795 It doesn't matter which half of the marketplace you go after first. 796 00:50:22.495 --> 00:50:24.115 You just have to pick a side, 797 00:50:24.415 --> 00:50:30.035 so then you have the the the ammunition and the bait that's going to attract the second side of the marketplace. 798 00:50:31.839 --> 00:50:38.500 So you're offering to attract that first side of the marketplace might be different than the the main offering that you're gonna have ultimately. 799 00:50:40.480 --> 00:50:44.900 Or or I I don't know. Again, you might just want it maybe maybe it is as it is. It's, 800 00:50:45.280 --> 00:50:50.605 podcasters will join even without the guests really on the other side as of now. 801 00:50:51.625 --> 00:50:53.945 So again, it sounds like you're in the industry. 802 00:50:53.945 --> 00:50:58.185 You know exactly what, podcasters are looking for, so I'm I'm confident you'll, 803 00:50:58.665 --> 00:51:00.150 you'll you'll put together the right, 804 00:51:00.790 --> 00:51:03.290 proposition to get them to wanna register and join. 805 00:51:04.630 --> 00:51:07.349 Alright, guys. I think that we're just a little bit over time. 806 00:51:07.349 --> 00:51:10.170 There's good extended webinar for everyone, 807 00:51:11.214 --> 00:51:12.575 good lab updates that we had. 808 00:51:12.575 --> 00:51:16.895 If we didn't get to your question, please feel free to ask them, in the Facebook group. 809 00:51:16.895 --> 00:51:20.895 You can head on over to brilliantdirectories.com/ 810 00:51:20.895 --> 00:51:25.694 facebook.
