WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:06.160
Alright. We got we got you guys here. Welcome to the webinar. Let's dive right in.

2
00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:07.600
I have Jason there on the left.

3
00:00:07.600 --> 00:00:13.940
And, as always, we're lucky to be joined by David Rocklin, who is the digital strategist and so much more here at Brilliant Directories.

4
00:00:14.415 --> 00:00:20.435
David, can you help explain to us what it means to be digital strategist in just a few short words here?

5
00:00:20.575 --> 00:00:36.780
Well, I think, everybody else here managing their websites is also a digital strategist in their own way, you know, kind of doing whatever needs to be done online in the digital space to try to bring more visitors to your website, get more members registered on your website, everything like that.

6
00:00:36.780 --> 00:00:40.620
So I think everybody here has a little bit of digital strategist in them. Awesome.

7
00:00:40.620 --> 00:00:45.114
Thank you for that. And we are streaming live on YouTube.

8
00:00:45.114 --> 00:00:48.235
So those of you joining us on YouTube, hello out there.

9
00:00:48.475 --> 00:00:52.155
We do recommend subscribing to the Brilliant Directories YouTube channel.

12
00:00:58.559 --> 00:01:06.495
It's a great way to get updated as soon as the webinar replays are available, tips of the week, featured tutorials, and lots more.

13
00:01:06.655 --> 00:01:17.135
And one of the benefits of streaming on YouTube live right now is the replay will be immediately available after the webinar, and we will post that link in the Brilliant Directories Facebook group.

14
00:01:17.135 --> 00:01:20.495
Also encourage you to join us there, brilliantdirectories.com

forward slash

16
00:01:21.689 --> 00:01:28.829
facebook. And, actually, in the Facebook group this month, we are running an iPad giveaway contest.

17
00:01:29.289 --> 00:01:33.310
Let me also share a link. On the thirtieth, which is on Friday,

18
00:01:33.689 --> 00:01:38.815
we will be choosing a winner. All you have to do is comment on the Facebook post.

19
00:01:38.875 --> 00:01:44.315
Honestly, it's pretty good chances. I think there's about 800 or so comments on there right now.

20
00:01:44.315 --> 00:01:45.295
And a bonus

21
00:01:45.755 --> 00:01:48.635
so this is the post. I'll share a link, in the chat here.

22
00:01:48.635 --> 00:01:53.730
So if you're not already in the Facebook group or you haven't commented yet, go ahead and take a second there.

23
00:01:53.870 --> 00:01:55.650
If we reach 1,000

24
00:01:55.790 --> 00:02:04.190
unique comments, so different people commenting, we will actually double up the prize and give out two iPads in the August 30 giveaway.

25
00:02:04.190 --> 00:02:05.630
We're at 847.

26
00:02:05.630 --> 00:02:11.385
So, actually, just about a 50 more comments to go or so to get us to that a thousand,

27
00:02:11.765 --> 00:02:15.605
marker. And, yeah, we can give out two iPads. That would be awesome,

28
00:02:15.925 --> 00:02:17.065
on August 30.

29
00:02:17.525 --> 00:02:18.870
Let me backtrack here.

30
00:02:18.950 --> 00:02:23.269
Always wanna mention now in the webinars that Brilliant Directories app, you can,

31
00:02:24.230 --> 00:02:26.890
stay up to date with your site on the go.

32
00:02:27.110 --> 00:02:33.190
Whether you're, using an Apple device or an Android, you can go to brilliantdirectories.com/apple

33
00:02:33.190 --> 00:02:37.265
app or Google app, and and it'll direct you to the app in the store.

34
00:02:37.725 --> 00:02:39.725
This is the first iteration of the app.

35
00:02:39.725 --> 00:02:42.445
There are more updates coming soon, but we're pretty happy with it.

36
00:02:42.445 --> 00:02:48.305
And we've received some great feedback for phase two improvements that we'll be making to this over time.

37
00:02:48.580 --> 00:02:52.980
And we do see some new names and faces and actually people still logging in here.

38
00:02:52.980 --> 00:02:55.940
Welcome to the webinar. Just a little bit about Webinar Wednesday.

39
00:02:55.940 --> 00:02:59.959
I know a lot of us, I see a lot of, of us join frequently.

40
00:03:00.020 --> 00:03:08.545
But for those who are joining for the first time, Webinar Wednesday is a great way for us to share some of the newer updates available on the Brilliant Directories platform.

41
00:03:08.545 --> 00:03:10.965
We're launching, new feature releases,

42
00:03:11.344 --> 00:03:11.844
weekly.

43
00:03:12.305 --> 00:03:18.885
So we like to highlight and share with you some of the specific features that can help you grow your community or run your site more efficiently.

44
00:03:18.944 --> 00:03:21.870
So we'll cover topics such as how to increase traffic,

45
00:03:22.170 --> 00:03:23.230
revenue opportunities,

46
00:03:23.530 --> 00:03:25.150
publishing and promoting content,

47
00:03:25.530 --> 00:03:32.170
and lots more. Today, we are not doing a tip of the week, so that will allow for more q and a time.

48
00:03:32.170 --> 00:03:36.665
So if you have questions or need help with your site, today is a great day to ask questions,

49
00:03:36.965 --> 00:03:41.465
and we'll always do our best to to kinda help you in that two or three minute window that we have,

50
00:03:41.765 --> 00:03:43.364
per question here. So,

51
00:03:43.685 --> 00:03:46.905
save your questions. We'll be sure to get to, them shortly.

52
00:03:47.390 --> 00:03:52.910
And we have, some BD Lab updates to share. A little more than half this list is coming soon.

53
00:03:52.910 --> 00:03:56.670
These are right on the cusp of being released. I've been mentioning a couple of these.

54
00:03:56.830 --> 00:04:02.215
There were just some security updates that we've pushed ahead of them, but let me start at the top of the list here.

55
00:04:02.215 --> 00:04:05.894
It's related to the, the business data that you have access to.

56
00:04:05.894 --> 00:04:12.314
Prior to this update, you could only search entire the entire countries being The US country or Canada.

57
00:04:12.959 --> 00:04:17.120
Now you can search data for entire countries outside of The US and Canada.

58
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:22.800
So if you wanted to search all the lawyers in Germany or let's actually do a quick search together here.

59
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:26.820
We can go to the business data link here in the AppSync.

60
00:04:27.175 --> 00:04:32.875
And if you're not familiar with this, this allows you to kinda prepopulate your site with some, some business data.

61
00:04:33.095 --> 00:04:36.315
Always like to look for law firm. Nice and easy there.

62
00:04:36.775 --> 00:04:37.175
And yeah.

63
00:04:37.175 --> 00:04:43.080
So prior to this, it would just be United States, that you could in Canada, you can search the entire country.

64
00:04:43.620 --> 00:04:47.060
But now you can do like European countries or any country around the world.

65
00:04:47.060 --> 00:04:48.440
We'll just do German here.

66
00:04:49.300 --> 00:04:51.319
And we could see it found 1,500

67
00:04:51.620 --> 00:04:53.715
lawyers in the entire country of

68
00:04:54.115 --> 00:04:58.695
Germany. Let's do Belgium here, and then we'll go a little bit more international.

69
00:04:59.475 --> 00:05:01.014
50 in Belgium.

70
00:05:01.555 --> 00:05:03.735
And let's go to Singapore.

71
00:05:05.074 --> 00:05:07.760
I can spell it correctly. Oh, there we go. It's

72
00:05:08.700 --> 00:05:10.320
a forgiving spell check there.

73
00:05:11.260 --> 00:05:12.860
So 40 found 45,

74
00:05:13.100 --> 00:05:16.560
in Singapore there. So, yep, now you can search entire countries.

75
00:05:16.700 --> 00:05:19.840
This is a great way for international sites to kind of populate,

76
00:05:20.495 --> 00:05:24.974
big chunks of categories into your site if you're just getting started. Alright.

77
00:05:24.974 --> 00:05:28.435
This next one here, is a fix to sending emails,

78
00:05:28.815 --> 00:05:34.275
whether you're sending newsletters or one off emails and and using the template builder within BD.

79
00:05:34.574 --> 00:05:41.970
We fixed a display issue, display issue, that was happening with images in some email clients such as Outlook, and some Apple devices.

80
00:05:41.970 --> 00:05:48.389
Images were coming outstretched, so we applied a fix to better display those images in more email clients.

81
00:05:48.574 --> 00:05:50.495
And so far, it looks like it it's going well.

82
00:05:50.495 --> 00:05:56.755
But, again, if you guys notice anything, always please report it to the support team, and we'll do our best to help troubleshoot those things.

83
00:05:56.975 --> 00:06:03.635
Next one here is also for more international users using right to left, languages, Hebrew, Arabic, etcetera.

84
00:06:04.280 --> 00:06:10.860
Now there is better support for right to left websites with regard to their design as well as the language flow.

85
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:13.400
Let me just quickly show you if you are,

86
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:16.485
creating or plan to create a website that will be,

87
00:06:17.125 --> 00:06:20.585
translated in one of those languages that are right to left.

88
00:06:21.205 --> 00:06:26.425
You can go to advanced settings, and the easiest thing to do is just type in RTL up here.

89
00:06:26.805 --> 00:06:32.680
And you have the text direction. So, in English, word left to right, other languages right to left.

90
00:06:32.740 --> 00:06:36.440
So you can toggle that, and then this is the new checkbox that's helpful.

91
00:06:36.580 --> 00:06:40.360
There are some elements that need to literally be moved on the page,

92
00:06:40.900 --> 00:06:41.400
opposite,

93
00:06:42.340 --> 00:06:42.840
horizontally,

94
00:06:43.824 --> 00:06:45.104
left to right or right to left.

95
00:06:45.104 --> 00:06:52.324
So now there are CSS layout adjustments that could be made on the site, to better support those right to left websites.

96
00:06:52.865 --> 00:06:57.125
Alright. And the next ones on this list, the next four or five, are coming soon.

97
00:06:57.780 --> 00:06:58.440
We are

98
00:06:58.819 --> 00:06:59.300
creating,

99
00:06:59.780 --> 00:07:03.159
member tag support with the Broadlink Directories API.

100
00:07:03.539 --> 00:07:06.919
It will be extended into Zapier, Pabbly, and Integrately.

101
00:07:07.379 --> 00:07:11.415
This will allow you to assign member tags through the API.

102
00:07:11.955 --> 00:07:19.955
So if you're signing up members through third party methods, and you want to assign a tag to pin them to, for whatever reason, you can do that.

103
00:07:19.955 --> 00:07:24.695
If members are taking actions through third party forms or other, platforms,

104
00:07:25.389 --> 00:07:29.630
you can then update them on your Broiling Directory site and assign a member tag.

105
00:07:29.789 --> 00:07:31.490
So it's just gonna add more flexibility

106
00:07:31.870 --> 00:07:37.550
for that, and I think over time, it's gonna evolve even further. So, that is coming soon.

107
00:07:37.710 --> 00:07:39.710
This next one here, we've mentioned a few times.

108
00:07:39.710 --> 00:07:45.745
Again, it's on the cusp of being released for the member credits, the ability to select the types of transactions

109
00:07:46.125 --> 00:07:50.945
member credits will work for. So perhaps you want to, gift your members,

110
00:07:51.405 --> 00:07:53.985
credits to use towards purchasing leads,

111
00:07:54.430 --> 00:08:00.610
pay per post, digital products, but you don't want those credits to be used towards their monthly membership plan subscriptions,

112
00:08:01.070 --> 00:08:03.889
this will allow you to turn it off in those cases.

113
00:08:04.430 --> 00:08:06.210
Next one here. Also,

114
00:08:06.590 --> 00:08:09.285
a lot of people are excited for this one and so are we.

115
00:08:09.525 --> 00:08:16.265
When members close their account and they have a paid account, currently, it closes it immediately and in that moment.

116
00:08:16.725 --> 00:08:20.905
If they have a paid account, it will give them the option to close the account immediately

117
00:08:21.605 --> 00:08:24.620
or at the end of their current subscription end date.

118
00:08:24.620 --> 00:08:30.400
So if they paid for the month, they can close their account and stick around for the remaining time they have left.

119
00:08:30.780 --> 00:08:31.500
That will be nice.

120
00:08:31.500 --> 00:08:40.414
And, also, during that time they're sticking around, there'll be notices saying your account you've chosen to close your account by this date, and there'll be an undo button, basically.

121
00:08:40.414 --> 00:08:43.235
So it gives them more chances to keep their account active.

122
00:08:43.774 --> 00:08:47.795
This next one here, I'm actually gonna be hands on with this one for emails,

123
00:08:48.255 --> 00:08:51.714
more templates and content blocks to help you design newsletters,

124
00:08:52.334 --> 00:08:52.995
more quickly,

125
00:08:53.520 --> 00:08:56.980
make them more professional and attractive, and just give you guys more options,

126
00:08:57.760 --> 00:08:58.820
when you're creating,

127
00:08:59.120 --> 00:08:59.860
your newsletters.

128
00:08:59.920 --> 00:09:06.465
So it's just more about swapping out images and the text, and the design will pretty much take care of itself for you.

129
00:09:06.625 --> 00:09:10.005
And this last one here, also super helpful. We are creating webhooks,

130
00:09:10.785 --> 00:09:12.485
that will be triggered anytime,

131
00:09:12.865 --> 00:09:17.925
payment attempts are made on the site. So this is for recurring subscriptions,

132
00:09:18.705 --> 00:09:20.725
one time payments like digital products.

133
00:09:21.050 --> 00:09:22.910
And even if they are successful

134
00:09:23.290 --> 00:09:32.910
payments or they failed, it's going to be set with the webhook data so that if you need to update third party sources by their whether it be QuickBooks or another platform,

135
00:09:33.515 --> 00:09:37.055
that, you know, maybe it changes their status on another platform you're using,

136
00:09:37.755 --> 00:09:45.210
that will, that webhook will include all the important and pertinent data you need related to a member or a visitor's payment.

137
00:09:45.290 --> 00:09:47.130
So these are what's coming soon.

138
00:09:47.130 --> 00:09:55.710
If you have any questions about what you're seeing on the screen here or comments, feel free to raise your hand, and then we'll move on to the next section of the webinar.

139
00:09:56.250 --> 00:09:58.810
Feedback is always helpful, so feel free to raise your hand.

140
00:09:58.810 --> 00:10:01.095
We could take a question or two and then move things

141
00:10:01.574 --> 00:10:04.714
along. Alright. No hands up. That's perfectly fine.

142
00:10:04.774 --> 00:10:09.995
So, yeah, with that, today is gonna be all about you guys. If you have questions about your site,

143
00:10:10.454 --> 00:10:11.814
please just raise your hand.

144
00:10:11.814 --> 00:10:15.274
We could take as many questions as possible, whether it's a strategy question,

145
00:10:15.690 --> 00:10:18.910
or a technical question. If you're trying to set something up,

146
00:10:19.290 --> 00:10:24.570
technically on your site, we can kind of guide you and provide some some help with that. Derek here.

147
00:10:24.570 --> 00:10:27.850
Derek, I'll unmute your microphone. Hey. How you doing today? Pretty good.

148
00:10:27.850 --> 00:10:31.070
Where are you calling in from? I'm actually calling in from Torrance, California.

149
00:10:31.290 --> 00:10:34.865
So So I'm not too far from you guys. No. No. We're here in LA. Okay. Great. Great.

150
00:10:35.105 --> 00:10:36.565
What's your question for us today?

151
00:10:37.185 --> 00:10:39.365
Yeah. So when I, when I initially,

152
00:10:41.105 --> 00:10:44.485
signed up for BD, I know one of the the themes

153
00:10:44.870 --> 00:10:46.089
that was offered,

154
00:10:46.790 --> 00:10:49.769
was coupons and deals, things like that.

155
00:10:49.910 --> 00:10:55.290
And I've noticed within the last couple of years or so, like those themes have gone away.

156
00:10:55.350 --> 00:10:59.325
I'm just curious to know if there's anything in the pipeline for,

157
00:10:59.705 --> 00:11:04.985
like, revamping the coupons and, you know, deals, things like that on the websites. Yeah.

158
00:11:04.985 --> 00:11:06.925
That's a that's a good question. Basically,

159
00:11:07.705 --> 00:11:08.685
the the coupons

160
00:11:09.060 --> 00:11:15.800
theme was effectively just the the coupon search on the homepage and streaming the recent coupons on the homepage.

161
00:11:16.180 --> 00:11:19.480
So if you want to create, like, a a coupon as a post type.

162
00:11:19.620 --> 00:11:25.425
So if you wanted to make a site that's more post type focused, yeah, you can certainly do that very easily.

163
00:11:25.425 --> 00:11:28.385
Let's just let's just quickly do an example here.

164
00:11:28.385 --> 00:11:31.845
And what type of site were you looking to do specifically a coupon site?

165
00:11:32.865 --> 00:11:35.605
Yeah. Pretty much a discount site discount directory.

166
00:11:36.330 --> 00:11:39.610
Let's take a look at what themes are mentioned here.

167
00:11:39.850 --> 00:11:42.110
In the design settings, you can, of course, toggle

168
00:11:42.490 --> 00:11:43.230
your themes

169
00:11:43.610 --> 00:11:47.630
here. So there is an events one here. Let's look up here.

170
00:11:47.930 --> 00:11:50.190
There's no more. Here's a product

171
00:11:50.625 --> 00:11:51.125
catalog.

172
00:11:52.545 --> 00:11:57.285
So that would focus on the products post type. But, yeah, just generally speaking,

173
00:11:57.985 --> 00:12:01.105
I don't I think the themes are more like an aesthetic starting point.

174
00:12:01.105 --> 00:12:11.380
But just to help you get started, if you ever wanted to, if you go to the search box design, the the search box or call to action, and you wanted to start your site with a coupon search,

175
00:12:11.920 --> 00:12:16.340
you can certainly do that. Even it'll ask you which post type you wanna pin that search to.

176
00:12:17.525 --> 00:12:28.345
And then the the streaming content and all the text supporting on the home page, you can gear it towards, you know, searching coupons, whether it's for a specific Martin market tech, a certain region,

177
00:12:28.965 --> 00:12:33.290
and things like that. So I think you can quickly craft, something,

178
00:12:33.670 --> 00:12:38.710
if you needed to here. Okay. Thank you. And, yeah, I'll check out what happened to those themes.

179
00:12:39.029 --> 00:12:42.470
They probably weren't as popular, so it just maybe confused more people.

180
00:12:42.470 --> 00:12:46.845
But, yeah, you can quickly switch your site, definitely, the focus of it on the home page.

181
00:12:47.245 --> 00:12:49.745
We got, I see a bunch of hands up here.

182
00:12:50.204 --> 00:12:53.964
We'll go to Kenneth here. Hello. How's it going? How are you doing? Good. Good.

183
00:12:53.964 --> 00:12:56.845
Where are you calling in from? Calling in from, Mexico. Mexico.

184
00:12:56.845 --> 00:13:02.180
You've got a podcaster's mic on or something. Sounds good. Yes. That's right. Good. Okay.

185
00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:05.140
So I have a question about the digital products.

186
00:13:05.280 --> 00:13:10.660
I would like to utilize that for, like, sort of a class type of functionality.

187
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:12.980
And so I'm aware that,

188
00:13:13.555 --> 00:13:17.335
the thank you page can be used for that because that can be set

189
00:13:17.715 --> 00:13:18.455
as the,

190
00:13:20.355 --> 00:13:25.815
what's it called, when you open when you lock something to that purchase, right, the membership?

191
00:13:26.740 --> 00:13:27.800
Yes. And so

192
00:13:28.180 --> 00:13:28.680
I

193
00:13:29.060 --> 00:13:36.920
I would basically, what I what I would like is I would like to for the user to be able to see in their membership plan or something

194
00:13:37.460 --> 00:13:37.960
what

195
00:13:38.340 --> 00:13:41.800
thank you page they have access to, basically, what they have purchased.

196
00:13:42.100 --> 00:13:45.195
Okay. So let me let's do that together real quick.

197
00:13:45.195 --> 00:13:48.015
Did did you know that they can see it in their billing history?

198
00:13:49.035 --> 00:13:51.615
Let me let me do it with you here. Just a moment.

199
00:13:52.075 --> 00:13:56.495
Okay. Let me let me show you where they can see it. Let me just get my billing.

200
00:13:58.450 --> 00:14:01.190
Let me go to transaction history, actually.

201
00:14:02.370 --> 00:14:06.770
And, actually, the demo site we're on is good. This is the thing. So let me go to

202
00:14:07.810 --> 00:14:08.710
here we go.

203
00:14:09.410 --> 00:14:11.830
So let me log in as this member. Sure.

204
00:14:12.435 --> 00:14:15.415
So when a member makes a purchase for a digital product,

205
00:14:16.275 --> 00:14:19.255
the purchase is there's a record of it

206
00:14:19.635 --> 00:14:21.655
in their payment history page.

207
00:14:22.755 --> 00:14:25.290
And in this actions drop down,

208
00:14:25.850 --> 00:14:27.630
if there was a thank you page,

209
00:14:28.170 --> 00:14:31.310
the link to it would be here. See, they can download their invoice,

210
00:14:31.690 --> 00:14:33.230
copy invoice, etcetera.

211
00:14:34.170 --> 00:14:34.670
Okay.

212
00:14:35.209 --> 00:14:37.550
Let me find one that might have it.

213
00:14:39.209 --> 00:14:42.125
Here we go. So you see here it says view products page.

214
00:14:42.125 --> 00:14:44.865
So the the page is still active if they wanted to repurchase.

215
00:14:44.925 --> 00:14:47.265
Sometimes there's products that you might wanna repurchase.

216
00:14:47.325 --> 00:14:49.825
There's also a link to the confirmation page.

217
00:14:50.285 --> 00:14:52.760
So they can they can find that here,

218
00:14:53.220 --> 00:14:56.920
in the record of their of their purchase. This is currently what's available.

219
00:14:57.540 --> 00:14:58.060
So Mhmm.

220
00:14:58.260 --> 00:15:03.720
If you can explain this to them in an email on how to in the in the confirmation email how to find it,

221
00:15:04.260 --> 00:15:08.235
you can make a short video, thirty second video for just general

222
00:15:08.695 --> 00:15:11.655
any digital products purchase and include that on the thank you page.

223
00:15:11.655 --> 00:15:13.415
So people thank you for your purchase.

224
00:15:13.415 --> 00:15:17.595
Just so you know, you can you can view a history of your purchase here.

225
00:15:17.735 --> 00:15:19.915
You can always come back to this page here.

226
00:15:20.180 --> 00:15:25.860
And, you know, you could just do a short fifteen second video like that educating them as well as in the email you send them.

227
00:15:25.860 --> 00:15:31.160
But they do have access to it here. And the link the link is actually your account billing change.

228
00:15:31.860 --> 00:15:33.639
You can share this link in emails,

229
00:15:34.105 --> 00:15:38.605
you know, for your for your domain and bring people directly here if you need to.

230
00:15:39.545 --> 00:15:40.185
So I could

231
00:15:40.825 --> 00:15:43.565
is it possible to make a link on the left side

232
00:15:44.185 --> 00:15:50.850
for me to to link to it directly from the menu on the side? Yeah. The I think it's under here.

233
00:15:50.850 --> 00:15:52.230
Let me see. Billing information.

234
00:15:53.970 --> 00:15:56.870
Yeah. And I mean, I'm It is. I'm Right. Sorry.

235
00:15:57.330 --> 00:16:00.870
So so what you can do or we what we can do is this.

236
00:16:02.530 --> 00:16:04.630
It it is this link here, billing information.

237
00:16:05.075 --> 00:16:07.735
So what you may wanna do is maybe update the text

238
00:16:08.195 --> 00:16:10.375
to kind of do like this.

239
00:16:11.154 --> 00:16:12.214
This might be

240
00:16:12.595 --> 00:16:15.495
so it said instead of billing information, you could say,

241
00:16:17.075 --> 00:16:18.135
my purchase

242
00:16:20.370 --> 00:16:24.150
history and products. Right? So I'm just thinking out loud

243
00:16:24.770 --> 00:16:25.270
Okay.

244
00:16:26.290 --> 00:16:29.750
Just to give them more context in a instead of just billing information.

245
00:16:30.690 --> 00:16:31.990
See if that was the one.

246
00:16:32.610 --> 00:16:33.110
Yeah.

247
00:16:35.755 --> 00:16:36.495
Oops. Let

248
00:16:37.675 --> 00:16:38.815
me get rid of the,

249
00:16:39.675 --> 00:16:41.775
the yellow stuff, text labels.

250
00:16:42.315 --> 00:16:42.815
Okay.

251
00:16:47.250 --> 00:16:51.510
My purchase history and products is here. And another thing you can do,

252
00:16:53.410 --> 00:16:54.710
is I'm gonna share

253
00:16:56.370 --> 00:16:59.110
a video we did on the dashboard.

254
00:17:00.454 --> 00:17:02.615
And this would be good in general because you can,

255
00:17:03.735 --> 00:17:09.115
push people to certain pages is three ways to engage users inside their member dashboard.

256
00:17:09.494 --> 00:17:14.954
What this explains is this home page, when they first log in and they come to their main page here,

257
00:17:15.430 --> 00:17:20.410
you can actually add custom content and links and buttons here, calls to action.

258
00:17:20.710 --> 00:17:23.930
So you can more explicitly link people to their purchases.

259
00:17:23.990 --> 00:17:32.674
If there's nothing there, it'll say no purchases, but at least it will train them on how to to view their past purchases and products on your site.

260
00:17:33.215 --> 00:17:35.794
So this would be probably good to to,

261
00:17:36.335 --> 00:17:39.875
to add some custom content. Let me add this to the chat here.

262
00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:44.760
Yeah. I'm I'm aware of that. I am utilizing that, and that's on the main top there.

263
00:17:44.760 --> 00:17:48.679
It's specifically for the membership. Right? That's what you're talking about? Correct. Yes.

264
00:17:48.679 --> 00:17:53.659
And let me share one more thing with you that I think will be helpful, because I think this is a good topic.

265
00:17:53.765 --> 00:17:58.965
This one is you can actually change the main menu when somebody is when members are logged in.

266
00:17:58.965 --> 00:18:02.025
So you can have a link that says my products and purchases

267
00:18:02.405 --> 00:18:05.065
and link them directly to that page.

268
00:18:05.205 --> 00:18:10.179
Again, this will train them a bit that they have access to view their history and

269
00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:17.140
accessing their products is is part of the model of your site since you're gonna be doing classes and courses and other protected content.

270
00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:17.679
Yeah.

271
00:18:17.679 --> 00:18:23.625
That's that's a really thank you so much for explaining that in this way, that there is a way to kinda utilize what you have.

272
00:18:23.625 --> 00:18:28.184
I'm really happy about this. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. Good questions there. Alright.

273
00:18:28.585 --> 00:18:30.924
Michael, I got you here. Let me re unmute

274
00:18:31.225 --> 00:18:33.645
your microphone. Michael? Hey, Vitor.

275
00:18:34.265 --> 00:18:37.500
Joining you from Boston. Just had a question regarding,

276
00:18:38.520 --> 00:18:39.020
forms

277
00:18:39.320 --> 00:18:42.140
kinda carrying on that same topic. Yeah. So,

278
00:18:43.480 --> 00:18:47.020
you know, over the years, I've spent more money than I I care to remember

279
00:18:47.765 --> 00:18:50.585
on UX audits and things like that. And,

280
00:18:51.685 --> 00:18:53.925
the the one common denominator is that,

281
00:18:54.565 --> 00:18:55.785
multi step forms

282
00:18:56.085 --> 00:18:58.725
definitely convert way better. So Okay.

283
00:18:58.805 --> 00:19:05.620
You know, I kinda started down the path of of looking into, you know, integrating a multistep form,

284
00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:09.940
and there was a lot lot of detail involved. Is that something

285
00:19:10.320 --> 00:19:11.300
that you envision

286
00:19:11.855 --> 00:19:19.715
as a feature that that may be rolled out in the future, or do you think it'll continue to be something that would need to be custom developed?

287
00:19:19.775 --> 00:19:20.735
Or So,

288
00:19:21.215 --> 00:19:21.715
question.

289
00:19:22.175 --> 00:19:26.095
What part of your site are you looking to u utilize that multistep form?

290
00:19:26.095 --> 00:19:30.410
Is it Just for a lead for a lead form? For the lead form. Okay.

291
00:19:30.870 --> 00:19:36.470
I think that is the multistep form for the lead form is actually much better. Who are you?

292
00:19:36.470 --> 00:19:40.785
Where are you from? What are you looking to do? And string people along. I totally get that.

293
00:19:40.865 --> 00:19:42.885
We are not we don't have plans for it right now.

294
00:19:43.745 --> 00:19:44.405
Our suggestion

295
00:19:44.785 --> 00:19:50.065
is just create a type form, like, sure, you know, sure, not too much form fatigue for the lead form.

296
00:19:50.065 --> 00:19:56.085
So in the meantime, I would still recommend utilizing, like, a type form or Jotform or or one of those solutions.

297
00:19:56.390 --> 00:19:59.750
One is they're just doing it better than than we would be able to catch up to.

298
00:19:59.750 --> 00:20:03.430
We we might eventually create an option for a step form. Makes sense.

299
00:20:03.430 --> 00:20:11.475
And then is there going with a third party solution like that, is there a best way to integrate the data back into the site?

300
00:20:11.635 --> 00:20:12.375
Yeah. Absolutely.

301
00:20:12.914 --> 00:20:13.794
So let me,

302
00:20:14.995 --> 00:20:19.255
let me share that with you. So if we just search for, like, type form,

303
00:20:21.315 --> 00:20:22.775
I'm gonna share this link,

304
00:20:23.155 --> 00:20:23.475
for you.

305
00:20:23.475 --> 00:20:30.029
So you have a type form, and then you can send the data into your BD site as a lead or if you're creating a new user,

306
00:20:30.330 --> 00:20:33.789
whatever it might be. Sure. So you can certainly utilize,

307
00:20:35.289 --> 00:20:38.350
type form. And then let's just do a quick search type form.

308
00:20:39.529 --> 00:20:40.590
Create lead,

309
00:20:41.130 --> 00:20:42.190
Berlin and directories.

310
00:20:43.395 --> 00:20:43.895
Zapier.

311
00:20:44.355 --> 00:20:45.655
See what it comes up with.

312
00:20:48.675 --> 00:20:50.695
Connect real Berlin directories to Typeform.

313
00:20:50.755 --> 00:20:57.330
So, yeah, so what you can do is have your Typeform submission, and then you can create a lead on your BD site,

314
00:20:57.970 --> 00:21:05.029
using Zapier or or whatever your that would that would be the best best way I can think of right now if you're gonna be using your forms.

315
00:21:05.090 --> 00:21:08.309
Yeah. No. That that that works. It gets the job done, and

316
00:21:08.690 --> 00:21:09.669
I think it's,

317
00:21:10.090 --> 00:21:11.830
it's the way to go. So perfect.

318
00:21:12.370 --> 00:21:12.870
Okay.

319
00:21:13.325 --> 00:21:15.085
Alright. Good question there. And, yeah, I agree with you.

320
00:21:15.085 --> 00:21:18.065
The step forms are nice specifically for for the lead,

321
00:21:18.365 --> 00:21:18.865
thing.

322
00:21:19.165 --> 00:21:24.285
So, yeah, if it if it lends itself, I would recommend using, like, a Typeform or Jotform. Yeah. No.

323
00:21:24.285 --> 00:21:28.700
Especially if anyone is spending any kind of significant money driving traffic.

324
00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:31.740
It's the way to go. I I agree.

325
00:21:32.840 --> 00:21:37.320
Okay. Well, thank you, Mike. Any other questions? No. That that's really it. Okay.

326
00:21:37.320 --> 00:21:41.340
Thanks for the question there. Good stuff. Wish you best of luck with the lead capturing.

327
00:21:41.755 --> 00:21:42.575
You guys don't

328
00:21:43.195 --> 00:21:48.015
know what he's referring to is your BD site can capture leads from consumers.

329
00:21:48.475 --> 00:21:52.414
Let's say you have a local business directory. Someone wants to get connected with a plumber.

330
00:21:52.635 --> 00:21:54.155
Consumer comes to your site.

331
00:21:54.155 --> 00:21:59.680
They fill out the lead form, and then you can sell that inquiry to your members or distribute it for free.

332
00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:12.965
But that way, your site is not only generating revenue from the members or businesses listed on your site, but now you have leads that you can also sell to them at whatever a good market radius for for leads in a particular industry.

333
00:22:13.185 --> 00:22:15.105
David and I wanna do a webinar on that.

334
00:22:15.105 --> 00:22:18.705
We're just kinda hesitating because it is a it's big moving parts for that.

335
00:22:19.025 --> 00:22:24.030
So we're trying to wrap our head on how to kinda introduce that as a webinar series. Alright.

336
00:22:24.030 --> 00:22:28.290
Let's move on. We got our good friend, Rich here. Let me unmute you here, Rich.

337
00:22:28.830 --> 00:22:31.150
Hey, Jason. How's it going, buddy? Quick question.

338
00:22:31.150 --> 00:22:36.750
Not so much technical or or website, but more about community because I'm traveling full time in The US as a podcaster.

339
00:22:36.750 --> 00:22:37.890
I plan to go to,

340
00:22:38.270 --> 00:22:38.770
Mexico

341
00:22:40.225 --> 00:22:42.245
next year, and he had a call from Mexico.

342
00:22:42.705 --> 00:22:44.465
Last time I called in, I was from Denver.

343
00:22:44.465 --> 00:22:49.265
Now I'm actually in Tucson, and the the other guy from John was right here in Tucson. So,

344
00:22:49.665 --> 00:22:54.330
have you held in the past or thought about, like, you know, in person, you know, live events for our yeah.

345
00:22:54.330 --> 00:22:57.529
The community of BED? I know Russell Brunson does that with,

346
00:22:58.090 --> 00:23:00.110
his quick or I can't think of his,

347
00:23:00.730 --> 00:23:02.730
the platform, but and a lot of others do.

348
00:23:02.730 --> 00:23:10.225
But, like, either, you know, a Zoom, like a virtual, or a, you know, a regional conference of sometime to gather the community members together.

349
00:23:10.445 --> 00:23:11.164
I love that idea.

350
00:23:11.164 --> 00:23:19.070
What the like, what what would be, like, useful or or meaningful, like, to be covered in in something like that, if we did something like that.

351
00:23:19.070 --> 00:23:24.210
I think just kind of a a gathering of like minded, you know, individuals, you know, they've been working on the same platform

352
00:23:24.670 --> 00:23:25.650
and have had some,

353
00:23:26.430 --> 00:23:29.630
you know, challenges, roadblocks, but more wins and achievements.

354
00:23:29.630 --> 00:23:34.045
And, you know, maybe you could acknowledge people that are, you know, rock stars within the community.

355
00:23:34.045 --> 00:23:37.965
But, you know, you can do workshops like this, but in person, you know, breakout sessions.

356
00:23:37.965 --> 00:23:39.025
And just the networking,

357
00:23:39.804 --> 00:23:45.825
of of gathering people that have probably been on these calls for, you know, you're at, you know, so many hundred of these webinars,

358
00:23:46.670 --> 00:23:48.049
hundreds of them, and,

359
00:23:48.830 --> 00:23:49.630
you know, fans.

360
00:23:49.630 --> 00:23:55.250
And I think, you know, obviously, that'd be a good you know, you could probably get some good feedback for the Facebook group,

361
00:23:56.510 --> 00:24:00.049
interest level. Right? That's it. I I I love it. Yeah.

362
00:24:00.110 --> 00:24:05.375
Because you have a tremendous, you know, loyal fan base and all these users around the country, around the

363
00:24:05.755 --> 00:24:06.495
world. And,

364
00:24:07.115 --> 00:24:15.855
I think they would, you know, love to gather and really kind of, you know, meet each other, but also kinda learn from each other and learn from, you know, your team.

365
00:24:16.399 --> 00:24:19.840
And I think it would be a great experience. I think you're absolutely right.

366
00:24:20.159 --> 00:24:26.260
I'll chat with the with the crew behind that I got here behind me, and, we'll see if we what makes sense, in the near future.

367
00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:29.835
But I I love that idea. Thank you for sharing that. That's really good. Yeah.

368
00:24:29.914 --> 00:24:31.274
I mean, I just finished on this.

369
00:24:31.274 --> 00:24:41.850
I think the simple thing is you could kinda start with a virtual platform, and then based on that, you know, response and maybe move to, you know, once a year or whatever or, you know, I know the guy with podcast,

370
00:24:42.410 --> 00:24:44.750
will go to Podcast Movement and Podcast Podcast.

371
00:24:44.809 --> 00:24:49.690
They do these traveling road tours where they just visit cities and just do these pop up events.

372
00:24:49.690 --> 00:24:51.230
It doesn't have to be a major convention

373
00:24:51.530 --> 00:24:56.265
initially, you know, but just, kinda out and about and and gathering the group together. I love it.

374
00:24:56.265 --> 00:24:58.345
Yep. And that's even a that's even a better way.

375
00:24:58.345 --> 00:25:02.345
It takes a lot of pressure off with, you know, all that convention planning and stuff like that.

376
00:25:02.345 --> 00:25:07.145
So, yeah, that's shows you the cities. Sometimes there's 40 or 50 people there or whatever,

377
00:25:07.789 --> 00:25:11.710
and then you could, you know, livestream that or whatever. But, I'll finish on this.

378
00:25:11.710 --> 00:25:22.895
To me, I think that one of the easiest way to pull this off, you know, I mean, not your first step, but as you do virtual ones and then maybe regional ones, is to do a, a cruise because then it's all inclusive.

379
00:25:23.035 --> 00:25:27.135
You don't have to rent conference rooms and the hotels and all the logistics.

380
00:25:27.435 --> 00:25:29.615
Just say, hey. We're gonna do a BD cruise

381
00:25:29.915 --> 00:25:35.800
and pick a cruise ship, and everybody buys their $200 ticket for a four day cruise. No no,

382
00:25:36.360 --> 00:25:37.320
onus on you.

383
00:25:37.320 --> 00:25:46.360
And all of those cruise ships, if you have, you know, even 50 people or so, they'll give you, like, the the ballrooms that happen for the, you know, the events, the entertainment that night.

384
00:25:46.360 --> 00:25:49.245
They're all empty during the day because I worked on several cruise ships.

385
00:25:49.725 --> 00:25:53.165
And, they'll provide that to you for your, like, workshops and trainings.

386
00:25:53.165 --> 00:25:55.085
But, really, the the I'll finish with this.

387
00:25:55.085 --> 00:26:02.625
One of the best things is just the dynamic of, you know, those conversations over coffee or you know, and having those, one to one, you know, organic

388
00:26:02.925 --> 00:26:03.425
conversations.

389
00:26:03.850 --> 00:26:04.649
I really love the idea.

390
00:26:04.649 --> 00:26:09.549
It's it's the more you the more you're talking, the more I think, we're we're at that level and that stage.

391
00:26:09.610 --> 00:26:12.730
So it might be a natural progression for that. So thank thank you for sharing.

392
00:26:12.730 --> 00:26:15.705
That's really good, good suggestion there. Okay. Cool.

393
00:26:15.784 --> 00:26:20.345
Keep you keep I might might reach out to you, Rich, for some more ideas because you're sharing some stories here.

394
00:26:20.345 --> 00:26:23.144
Absolutely. Thank you so much. Alright. Good stuff there.

395
00:26:23.144 --> 00:26:29.085
So, yeah, maybe a BD, convention is is, in the in the work soon, so thank you for that, suggestion.

396
00:26:29.419 --> 00:26:31.360
Alright. Let's move on to Sean here.

397
00:26:31.740 --> 00:26:36.700
Sean, let me unmute your microphone. Hey, Jason. Can you hear me okay? Yes. Yes. How are you today?

398
00:26:36.700 --> 00:26:40.559
Excellent. Thank you. I'm coming in here from, Vancouver Island, Canada.

399
00:26:40.700 --> 00:26:43.520
I love your, brilliant directories. It's a godsend.

400
00:26:44.765 --> 00:26:48.225
But what I'm trying to figure out here is the get matched thing.

401
00:26:49.325 --> 00:26:51.965
So I do have a web page call,

402
00:26:52.285 --> 00:26:56.145
at our website. It's, disabilityresources.ca,

403
00:26:56.845 --> 00:26:58.705
forward slash get matched.

404
00:26:59.070 --> 00:27:02.450
I I think I probably off base on setting this up properly,

405
00:27:02.990 --> 00:27:06.289
but I'm just trying and I'm seeking your guidance,

406
00:27:06.669 --> 00:27:07.970
for this if possible.

407
00:27:09.230 --> 00:27:15.184
So we we have a lot of people that are looking for medical equipment, for example, or service providers.

408
00:27:15.404 --> 00:27:15.904
Right?

409
00:27:16.525 --> 00:27:17.025
And,

410
00:27:17.485 --> 00:27:19.985
the thing is we're trying to match them up,

411
00:27:20.605 --> 00:27:21.825
people that need equipment,

412
00:27:22.845 --> 00:27:24.544
people that have equipment,

413
00:27:25.804 --> 00:27:26.784
or providers.

414
00:27:27.404 --> 00:27:27.904
So

415
00:27:28.830 --> 00:27:32.690
the issue that I'm having is is figuring out the logistics

416
00:27:33.230 --> 00:27:36.289
of of actually making this form work. Okay.

417
00:27:36.750 --> 00:27:37.809
You know what I mean?

418
00:27:38.350 --> 00:27:40.370
Yes. Yes. And I have an idea

419
00:27:40.845 --> 00:27:42.065
idea for you.

420
00:27:42.365 --> 00:27:42.865
Awesome.

421
00:27:43.405 --> 00:27:47.505
Okay. Let me just quickly just take a look at the site real quick. Sure.

422
00:27:50.044 --> 00:27:50.544
Disability

423
00:27:51.005 --> 00:27:51.505
resources.

424
00:27:52.445 --> 00:27:54.840
Okay. And you said you wanted to do a,

425
00:27:55.400 --> 00:27:58.520
what what are the two sides of the marketplace? People who need

426
00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:01.659
Yes. Medical equipment or service providers.

427
00:28:02.120 --> 00:28:05.980
Like, you know, people that need chiropractors, doctors, what have you.

428
00:28:06.934 --> 00:28:10.395
So I did make a page. It's it's it is, get matched.

429
00:28:10.695 --> 00:28:17.115
If you put a forward slash at the end of our euro. Okay. T yeah. Yeah. Is there another is it just

430
00:28:17.655 --> 00:28:22.075
the these peep and then what's the other side of of your site? People who need to do what?

431
00:28:22.850 --> 00:28:24.790
People that do provide the services.

432
00:28:25.330 --> 00:28:30.870
Like yeah. And we've also got a classified component, but I don't think that would tie into it.

433
00:28:30.930 --> 00:28:35.030
Okay. I would recommend shifting the focus of your home page.

434
00:28:35.730 --> 00:28:36.230
Okay.

435
00:28:36.335 --> 00:28:42.435
What I would recommend is I'm I'm not gonna change your home page, but let me go to our, demo site here.

436
00:28:43.215 --> 00:28:46.415
Awesome. And what I would recommend is and this will help

437
00:28:48.429 --> 00:28:49.410
that's this is

438
00:28:49.910 --> 00:28:50.410
it.

439
00:28:50.910 --> 00:28:56.850
Nope. Not the classified. It's the let me find the right one. I think it's the member community.

440
00:28:59.310 --> 00:28:59.810
Okay.

441
00:29:00.485 --> 00:29:01.925
This isn't the best aesthetic.

442
00:29:01.925 --> 00:29:07.385
But what I would recommend is give people two pills, the red pill and the blue pill. And

443
00:29:07.765 --> 00:29:12.585
welcome to so and so. So what would you like to do? And then you give them two options, like

444
00:29:12.965 --> 00:29:16.035
find providers or get matched with providers. And

445
00:29:16.460 --> 00:29:18.560
And then the other one is, are you a provider?

446
00:29:18.940 --> 00:29:20.160
Join our site today.

447
00:29:20.220 --> 00:29:29.520
You can even have a third button like search our search our classifieds for products because it sounds like you have medical devices and stuff up for grabs on your classified section.

448
00:29:29.580 --> 00:29:30.220
Yes, sir.

449
00:29:30.220 --> 00:29:40.365
So what I would do is is when you go the route of having, like, buttons or maybe it's not buttons, maybe it's let me just show you another example.

450
00:29:41.465 --> 00:29:44.605
Maybe you're giving people, like, three boxes to choose.

451
00:29:45.210 --> 00:29:47.390
Basically, taking them down a path

452
00:29:47.850 --> 00:29:48.590
like this

453
00:29:48.970 --> 00:29:57.950
would help them, one, understand your site better, limit their choices, and also highlight the calls to action you want them to take on your site.

454
00:29:58.169 --> 00:29:58.990
Makes sense.

455
00:30:00.164 --> 00:30:10.825
So switching from the the search here on the homepage because because you're serving multiple people, the the providers to join, the classifieds to find, and also the the request to get matched with a provider.

456
00:30:12.179 --> 00:30:16.580
So I that would be my suggestion. Where where you would edit that is I'm not gonna change anything.

457
00:30:16.580 --> 00:30:18.120
But in your design settings,

458
00:30:19.380 --> 00:30:20.520
what you can do

459
00:30:21.539 --> 00:30:22.919
is under home page,

460
00:30:23.380 --> 00:30:28.735
you can switch from the the global website search and, yeah, you can go display button links.

461
00:30:28.735 --> 00:30:33.315
And it and here, it allows you to have up to three buttons, the text where it goes, the color.

462
00:30:34.655 --> 00:30:36.275
And, of course, I think that

463
00:30:36.815 --> 00:30:41.155
you can do the buttons or you again, you can do, you know, the boxes with links,

464
00:30:41.560 --> 00:30:42.680
however you wanna do it.

465
00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:47.500
But, again, guiding people with those options rather than giving them a search first

466
00:30:47.960 --> 00:30:51.980
might help, with the with the get matched goal that you have here.

467
00:30:52.840 --> 00:30:54.940
Because they'll be con they'll be context

468
00:30:55.445 --> 00:31:01.445
from page one, the homepage, as to what they're what they're doing. Okay. That makes a lot of sense.

469
00:31:01.445 --> 00:31:06.105
I appreciate that. That's good direction. Yeah. Because we wanna make it as effective as possible.

470
00:31:06.245 --> 00:31:06.485
And,

471
00:31:07.220 --> 00:31:10.600
you know, we've got lots of of good listings or what have you, and

472
00:31:11.060 --> 00:31:12.120
it's coming together.

473
00:31:12.660 --> 00:31:17.160
I would no. No. I'm with my my so what I would do is basically edit out,

474
00:31:18.980 --> 00:31:19.480
noise

475
00:31:19.860 --> 00:31:22.455
and focus people down those three paths.

476
00:31:23.174 --> 00:31:26.794
So remove remove as much as possible and let people

477
00:31:27.255 --> 00:31:33.095
feel like they're clicking into sections of the site rather than scouring the site for for some for some for some

478
00:31:33.575 --> 00:31:36.420
I really appreciate that. Thank you. That's excellent advice.

479
00:31:36.500 --> 00:31:38.660
I'll do that, and then I'll come back to you on the other,

480
00:31:39.380 --> 00:31:40.280
lead thing here.

481
00:31:40.580 --> 00:31:45.380
Okay. Okay. That's great. I'll make updates so much, Jason. I appreciate You're welcome. Good stuff.

482
00:31:45.380 --> 00:31:48.040
We look forward to seeing you in the next webinar. Let's see your progress.

483
00:31:48.500 --> 00:31:51.560
Alright. We got Roger here. Let me unmute you, Roger.

484
00:31:52.144 --> 00:31:56.404
Good evening. Are you there? We are here. Bringing the energy. I like it, Roger.

485
00:31:56.784 --> 00:32:02.804
Alright. Great. I've I'm up on Lake Superior waiting for it to freeze over anytime soon. Alright.

486
00:32:03.184 --> 00:32:04.725
Any any week now. Yeah.

487
00:32:05.140 --> 00:32:07.720
Well, if we kinda go from summer to winter here.

488
00:32:08.179 --> 00:32:11.720
So anyway, I'm working on yet another Brilliant Directories

489
00:32:12.100 --> 00:32:12.580
site.

490
00:32:12.580 --> 00:32:17.799
As you know, I bought a number from you and I every time I come up on something different and this time,

491
00:32:18.340 --> 00:32:18.840
my

492
00:32:19.225 --> 00:32:22.985
client on this is site ID number 43874,

493
00:32:22.985 --> 00:32:27.404
by the way. If you could go look at that. That one it is not live yet.

494
00:32:27.784 --> 00:32:28.284
Okay.

495
00:32:28.825 --> 00:32:29.325
And

496
00:32:29.625 --> 00:32:32.524
I was trying to make my way through the sidebar

497
00:32:32.825 --> 00:32:33.325
widgets,

498
00:32:33.720 --> 00:32:39.419
and I got halfway there and I got stumped. What they would like to do is on the general listings

499
00:32:39.960 --> 00:32:40.460
page,

500
00:32:40.760 --> 00:32:42.460
when you see the artist listing,

501
00:32:43.480 --> 00:32:43.980
they,

502
00:32:44.679 --> 00:32:50.715
they vet all their artists before they let the mods where they're not going to allow people to sign up right on the site.

503
00:32:51.095 --> 00:32:52.635
So when you go to their

504
00:32:53.415 --> 00:32:59.195
artists all artists page, they've asked me to remove the join our community link at the bottom.

505
00:32:59.450 --> 00:33:00.910
And I got halfway there,

506
00:33:01.370 --> 00:33:02.010
but I,

507
00:33:02.410 --> 00:33:05.950
got stuck somewhere trying to find the correct widget

508
00:33:06.410 --> 00:33:09.630
and where to go in the HTML inside that widget,

509
00:33:10.010 --> 00:33:11.870
and that's as far as I got.

510
00:33:12.170 --> 00:33:13.950
So if you could show me

511
00:33:14.345 --> 00:33:15.245
how you do

512
00:33:15.865 --> 00:33:17.545
that. Sure. There's there's a few ways.

513
00:33:17.545 --> 00:33:22.525
So are you looking to remove this module altogether or kinda re Yes.

514
00:33:23.145 --> 00:33:27.325
Okay. So I was gonna give you another suggestion. Oh, okay.

515
00:33:27.990 --> 00:33:32.810
What you can do is you these are all text labels. And instead of linking to this join page

516
00:33:34.070 --> 00:33:37.130
Mhmm. You can link to the application page

517
00:33:37.510 --> 00:33:38.010
instead.

518
00:33:38.870 --> 00:33:41.285
It sounds like everything's going through the moderation route.

519
00:33:41.285 --> 00:33:45.385
You you're gonna where's the where's the where's the artist application pages here?

520
00:33:46.085 --> 00:33:54.330
So what you can do first is because there's no direct join, you you probably wanna delete your join page or make it hidden or something or whatever.

521
00:33:54.570 --> 00:33:56.350
But there's two things you can do.

522
00:33:56.890 --> 00:34:00.750
I think it's under the text labels. It's either text labels or,

523
00:34:02.010 --> 00:34:06.490
join URL. Let me just check here. Yes. So there's a default join URL.

524
00:34:06.490 --> 00:34:08.010
So I'm just gonna just show you as example.

525
00:34:08.010 --> 00:34:11.795
I'm gonna change that from forward slash join to new artist application.

526
00:34:12.655 --> 00:34:17.534
And what that's gonna do is these kind of these widgets that are here, we'll see here.

527
00:34:17.534 --> 00:34:20.675
Look at the URL. Now it goes to new artist application.

528
00:34:21.775 --> 00:34:25.579
So you could keep it if you want. And Yeah. Okay.

529
00:34:25.960 --> 00:34:27.020
That's great.

530
00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:30.599
Oh, but, if you did wanna remove it, I'll just show you since you asked.

531
00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:32.219
If you go to the sidebar manager,

532
00:34:33.560 --> 00:34:36.199
well, first of all, we need to identify which sidebar this is.

533
00:34:36.199 --> 00:34:38.415
So I like to use the show widgets here.

534
00:34:38.895 --> 00:34:44.435
And then it it'll show us that this is the member search results sidebar. We can click this.

535
00:34:46.655 --> 00:34:47.155
And,

536
00:34:51.500 --> 00:34:55.520
And that would be we would remove the member join offer

537
00:34:56.060 --> 00:34:57.920
Okay. Module from here.

538
00:34:58.220 --> 00:35:00.000
Alright. I was in the wrong

539
00:35:00.380 --> 00:35:00.880
section.

540
00:35:01.420 --> 00:35:02.640
Okay. No worries.

541
00:35:03.339 --> 00:35:06.400
So yeah. So then your ID. Yeah. Yes. That's great.

542
00:35:06.575 --> 00:35:15.395
And just edit the text label, the the default text here to align with the the application process and how you're trying to get them entice them to to apply.

543
00:35:15.695 --> 00:35:16.595
Great. Okay.

544
00:35:16.975 --> 00:35:19.715
And one of the other folks that was on tonight,

545
00:35:20.260 --> 00:35:24.120
we're talking about leads and the delivery of those leads.

546
00:35:24.500 --> 00:35:26.600
And one of my other sites,

547
00:35:27.060 --> 00:35:31.400
they asked me to remove the whole lead thing from their member speak because,

548
00:35:32.180 --> 00:35:39.635
they I my impression was that each member has to log in to get any leads that they that when they fill out the form.

549
00:35:39.855 --> 00:35:50.920
Is there a way that if somebody like that Al Stoffer that you're looking at, somebody fills that form out, is there a way to have that just delivered directly to Al, or do does he have to log in to his?

550
00:35:51.220 --> 00:35:54.680
He doesn't necessarily have to log in. They only have to log in when

551
00:35:54.980 --> 00:35:59.720
they're getting, like, a partial preview of the lead, and you're asking them to pay for the rest of the lead.

552
00:35:59.779 --> 00:36:00.440
Like No.

553
00:36:00.740 --> 00:36:05.985
You'd be included. So So what perfect. So what you wanna do is go to inter interactions, Roger.

554
00:36:06.125 --> 00:36:09.745
Go to member leads. And under lead settings here,

555
00:36:11.085 --> 00:36:18.420
what we wanna do is under receiving direct leads because a direct lead is when a member receives a lead on their profile page.

556
00:36:18.560 --> 00:36:22.100
Oh, okay. What we wanna do is members receive direct leads immediately,

557
00:36:22.560 --> 00:36:26.260
and what we wanna do is set it to accepted and complete.

558
00:36:26.720 --> 00:36:33.265
So, basically, we're just giving them the full lead information, and that will be included in the email they receive.

559
00:36:33.885 --> 00:36:35.345
Oh, so Yeah.

560
00:36:35.725 --> 00:36:46.385
So that will include the the email, the phone number, all the pertinent and all the information that was included in that lead will then not just be a preview, but will be fully, included in the email they receive.

561
00:36:47.070 --> 00:36:47.570
Excellent.

562
00:36:48.030 --> 00:36:50.050
That's wonderful. They don't necessarily have to,

563
00:36:50.590 --> 00:36:56.050
quote, unquote, log in to to see that information anymore. It'll be in there right now. Wonderful.

564
00:36:56.190 --> 00:37:00.290
Thank you so much. Which would do you want me to save this as accepted and complete?

565
00:37:01.555 --> 00:37:02.615
Yes. Yes. Okay.

566
00:37:03.235 --> 00:37:07.155
So you can do a test and and fill out a lead on a page and and get it in your email.

567
00:37:07.155 --> 00:37:11.655
You should see the full information in that. We'll try that out. Excellent.

568
00:37:12.035 --> 00:37:15.240
Thank you so much. You're welcome. Good questions there.

569
00:37:15.940 --> 00:37:20.200
Alright, guys. We are just about at that marker time. We'll end it there, guys.

570
00:37:20.260 --> 00:37:24.039
Fun fantastic questions. Love these q and a webinars. Good questions.

571
00:37:24.180 --> 00:37:26.055
I see a lot of questions about leads.

572
00:37:26.135 --> 00:37:31.115
David and I will get together, and we'll try to craft a webinar that does a nice simple overview of leads.

573
00:37:31.175 --> 00:37:33.515
And maybe later, we can get into more advanced,

574
00:37:33.974 --> 00:37:35.515
settings with the leads.

575
00:37:35.815 --> 00:37:36.934
