We're going to have plenty of time for Q and A today. 33 00:02:21.105 --> 00:02:24.960 So if you need help with your site, you have questions about your site, troubleshooting, 34 00:02:25.420 --> 00:02:28.780 figuring stuff out, we're going to have plenty of time for questions and answers. 35 00:02:29.020 --> 00:02:32.940 It could be on these topics or anything else related to your BD site. 36 00:02:32.940 --> 00:02:37.680 So start jotting down some questions you might have, and we'll do the Q and A in just a little bit. 37 00:02:37.740 --> 00:02:43.875 Alright. And some BD Lab updates to share. There's a lot of, updates coming very, very soon. 38 00:02:43.875 --> 00:02:48.215 They're just on the cusp. They're going through final, QA to make sure everything's working 39 00:02:48.595 --> 00:02:52.350 properly. But we do have some at the top here to share with you guys. 40 00:02:52.590 --> 00:02:56.350 The one at the top of this list is related to the member credits add on. 41 00:02:56.350 --> 00:02:58.770 We've been waiting for this one for quite a while. 42 00:02:58.990 --> 00:03:01.810 It's the ability to select the types of transactions 43 00:03:02.670 --> 00:03:05.715 the member credits will work with. So, 44 00:03:06.194 --> 00:03:07.955 let me go through this with you guys. 45 00:03:07.955 --> 00:03:14.135 Let me first share a link to the add on for those who are not familiar with the member credits add on. 46 00:03:14.435 --> 00:03:20.455 This allows you to give your members credits, so they can use them on your site if they wanna purchase leads, 47 00:03:20.790 --> 00:03:25.670 use them towards their membership plans, things like that. It's a great way to incentivize them. 48 00:03:25.670 --> 00:03:28.330 And you can give credits when members sign up, 49 00:03:28.630 --> 00:03:33.770 and through other methods as well. So I just shared a link to that add on. And this is an extension. 50 00:03:33.830 --> 00:03:38.095 This update now, expands the functionality of the member credit system. 51 00:03:38.155 --> 00:03:47.135 Up until now, the credits would automatically be applied to any type of purchase the member is making on the site if they had some credits on file. 52 00:03:47.160 --> 00:03:49.340 So what you can do with this, and my recommendation 53 00:03:49.640 --> 00:03:54.860 would be if you're using the member credits system, you can actually select the types of transactions 54 00:03:55.240 --> 00:04:00.060 member credits can be used for. So if you go to settings and advanced settings, 55 00:04:01.245 --> 00:04:04.465 and what we'll do is we will let me just refresh this here. 56 00:04:05.885 --> 00:04:07.825 We'll type in member credits. 57 00:04:09.165 --> 00:04:09.645 There we go. 58 00:04:09.645 --> 00:04:14.845 And when you do that, you should get all the advanced settings that are related to this add on if you have this add on. 59 00:04:14.845 --> 00:04:22.160 But the new one here is this one here, member credits, select transaction types credits can be applied to. 60 00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:25.540 So by default, the credits work for any type of transaction, 61 00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:27.540 membership plan upgrades, 62 00:04:28.205 --> 00:04:38.444 recurring membership plan payments, you know, their their ongoing monthly or annual payment, member lead purchases if they're purchasing leads through the site, or with the other add on, we have the pay per post feature. 63 00:04:38.444 --> 00:04:40.290 They could be applied for those things. 64 00:04:40.370 --> 00:04:49.990 The reason we made this setting is a vast majority of BDers were asking for these two to be turned off, the ability to use credits for plan upgrades, 65 00:04:50.850 --> 00:04:52.130 or the recurring payments. 66 00:04:52.130 --> 00:04:57.235 They wanted the credits to be more for perks, such as purchasing leads, pay per pool posts, 67 00:04:57.615 --> 00:04:58.914 or digital products. 68 00:04:59.534 --> 00:05:06.495 Remember, if you're using the digital products, if you're selling digital products on your site, this setting is per digital product. 69 00:05:06.495 --> 00:05:10.110 So when you're setting up your digital product, you would choose this setting there. 70 00:05:10.110 --> 00:05:11.710 That's why it's not mentioned here. 71 00:05:11.710 --> 00:05:22.370 So in my opinion, I think that is a great suggestion that the BDers had is to turn off the member credits for membership plan upgrades or recurring membership plans. 72 00:05:22.615 --> 00:05:26.794 That way, you as the website owner are still collecting revenue for their participation 73 00:05:27.175 --> 00:05:36.134 and being part of your website, and they can use the credits for other things like their lead purchases, pay per post, or digital services that they're purchasing from you. 74 00:05:36.134 --> 00:05:40.479 But you now have that granular control. Try it out. Let us know how it's working for you. 75 00:05:40.479 --> 00:05:43.040 We'd love additional feedback on that. Alright. 76 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:47.139 This next one here is for right now, it's for web designers and developers. 77 00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:50.639 Later down the line, we will probably make a setting for it. 78 00:05:50.639 --> 00:06:01.805 But if you're using the pin featured posts, also an add on here, now there is a CSS class you can target to style the pinned posts or the featured posts on the search results pages. 79 00:06:01.805 --> 00:06:04.785 So let me show you, what we're referring to first. 80 00:06:05.840 --> 00:06:08.320 So let me search for pin featured posts. 81 00:06:08.320 --> 00:06:17.600 So this basically allows you, if you have blog posts, events, coupons, you can also this is a great way to create a product, a digital product your members can buy. 82 00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:21.945 They can, you know, request to have their posts pinned for a period of time. 83 00:06:21.945 --> 00:06:25.145 You can, you know, sell it to them and and pin the post for them. 84 00:06:25.385 --> 00:06:27.805 So their post, maybe they're promoting an event, 85 00:06:28.105 --> 00:06:29.885 whatever whatever it might be. 86 00:06:30.185 --> 00:06:36.430 You can pin it to the top of the search results, the events search results, blog post, whatever type of content it is. 87 00:06:36.430 --> 00:06:38.990 So I shared that add on there. So with this new, 88 00:06:39.550 --> 00:06:41.250 CSS class for targeting, 89 00:06:41.710 --> 00:06:45.250 if you're pinning a post, and let's just go ahead and do that together. 90 00:06:46.590 --> 00:06:51.010 I've already done it for one of the, the website blog articles here. 91 00:06:51.605 --> 00:07:00.325 So we can see here when you have that add on, you have these check boxes and you can set, set as a featured post, a pinned post, and you could also set an automatic end date. 92 00:07:00.325 --> 00:07:05.220 So, you know, if you're gonna pin something for twenty days, you could just send set the end date here. 93 00:07:05.300 --> 00:07:09.800 But when you pin a post, again, for the web developers and designers out there in this phase, 94 00:07:10.260 --> 00:07:11.480 if you right click 95 00:07:12.100 --> 00:07:13.560 on in the search results, 96 00:07:14.020 --> 00:07:15.780 there are two new classes here. 97 00:07:15.780 --> 00:07:21.455 It's featured post and featured and then also that that'll cover all the the posts that are featured. 98 00:07:21.675 --> 00:07:26.875 And then there's a post type specific one, which is featured post, in this case, blog. 99 00:07:26.875 --> 00:07:30.794 And what you can do now that we have that CSS targeting, and I'll share this. 100 00:07:30.794 --> 00:07:35.135 We'll share it after the webinar too. You can do things if you're a web designer or developer. 101 00:07:35.275 --> 00:07:41.430 Let Let me just share this with you guys here. Pop this in. Great. 102 00:07:41.490 --> 00:07:46.470 So what you can do is and this is a very crude and quick way, but you can now highlight, 103 00:07:47.330 --> 00:07:49.889 these featured posts. You can change the text here. 104 00:07:49.889 --> 00:07:57.725 Effectively, I've just added two two CSS roles which are targeting, for example, the featured post, featured blog post, etcetera. 105 00:07:57.785 --> 00:08:01.005 We're putting the the word featured in there, which is the content. 106 00:08:01.305 --> 00:08:05.250 What I think we're gonna do in a phase two is create simple settings for these. 107 00:08:05.330 --> 00:08:13.810 So when you want to do this per post type, our novice users or people who aren't coders and stuff can do this with just a few clicks, with the UI. 108 00:08:13.810 --> 00:08:18.645 But just to give web designers and developers a heads up, you now have the ability to do this. 109 00:08:18.884 --> 00:08:23.705 You just have to make sure you're using the default code for the post type in the search results. 110 00:08:24.004 --> 00:08:28.405 I'm gonna pop this in here. So I know we do have some developers and designers in the webinar. 111 00:08:28.405 --> 00:08:31.840 I did pop this little piece of code in the chat there. 112 00:08:31.840 --> 00:08:34.559 And really, that's this is how things evolve with Brilliant Directories. 113 00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:41.919 We always push, like, a quick phase one so we can get something out there, and it evolves with feedback and phase two and more features and things like that. 114 00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:44.415 Alright. This next one here is related to video posts. 115 00:08:44.655 --> 00:08:49.235 You know, you can post YouTube videos, Vimeo, even TikTok and others. 116 00:08:49.295 --> 00:08:51.555 And it automatically pulls the thumbnail 117 00:08:51.855 --> 00:08:53.775 from those videos that you're sharing. 118 00:08:53.775 --> 00:08:58.650 We can actually Let's go to the demo bootstrap site and look at an example here. 119 00:08:59.750 --> 00:09:03.610 So this is just our demo site. I think if we go to the video library. 120 00:09:04.950 --> 00:09:07.270 Here we, so this is just the the brilliant demo. 121 00:09:07.270 --> 00:09:16.675 So these are just some sample, YouTube videos that we added, and these are thumbnails that were pulled and derived from the YouTube link when you're creating the posts. 122 00:09:17.295 --> 00:09:17.795 Sometimes, 123 00:09:19.055 --> 00:09:22.560 it it it fails to pull the thumbnail. Very rarely, it does. 124 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:28.900 Or sometimes you don't like the thumbnail that's being used from YouTube or Vimeo, or you wanna use an alternate thumbnail, 125 00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:32.900 that you upload yourself or or whatever the case may be. 126 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:35.620 So now, actually, what you can do 127 00:09:35.955 --> 00:09:36.455 is, 128 00:09:36.835 --> 00:09:39.335 when you're creating a video post, 129 00:09:39.715 --> 00:09:45.095 there will be an option. Let's go there together. So if a member is is posting a video to the site, 130 00:09:46.035 --> 00:09:48.295 and we can, edit this post. 131 00:09:49.790 --> 00:09:53.490 So just like the regular post now, instead of just the URL, 132 00:09:54.510 --> 00:09:56.370 that you input for the video, 133 00:09:56.750 --> 00:09:57.490 you can, 134 00:09:58.270 --> 00:10:00.589 choose to upload a thumbnail image. 135 00:10:00.589 --> 00:10:06.585 And if you upload a thumbnail image, it will override even if it is successfully fetching a thumbnail, 136 00:10:07.045 --> 00:10:09.945 from the video link. So this is almost like an override. 137 00:10:10.245 --> 00:10:18.265 If you're not happy with the thumbnail that is coming from the video you link, you can override it with an image you upload yourself. 138 00:10:18.860 --> 00:10:20.880 And I think a bonus here might be, 139 00:10:21.260 --> 00:10:24.940 no. That's not the case. But, yeah. So that is there now. Alright. 140 00:10:24.940 --> 00:10:30.780 The next, few that we have here are just on the cusp of being released and I'm pretty excited about these. 141 00:10:30.780 --> 00:10:33.680 The first one here, member tags plus the API. 142 00:10:34.025 --> 00:10:42.825 This is going to give you the ability to add, remove, or override, and set new member tags via the BD API, Zapier, Pabbly, etcetera. 143 00:10:42.825 --> 00:10:49.560 The reason this is useful is if you're having members do actions outside of Brilliant Directories, maybe with another platform 144 00:10:55.640 --> 00:11:03.960 Brilliant Directories website, you'll be able to apply member tags so you know which members on your BD site may have performed actions outside of your BD site. 145 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:06.115 So you can add or remove tags that way. 146 00:11:06.115 --> 00:11:13.495 And from there, of course, you can do additional segmenting, create smart list, email market to those people specifically, export them, etcetera. 147 00:11:13.875 --> 00:11:20.250 Same thing here with the next one, the credits, the member credits, which which we've just talked about at the top, plus the API. 148 00:11:20.250 --> 00:11:24.029 So you'll soon be able to add or deduct member credits, 149 00:11:24.490 --> 00:11:28.890 one, via bulk actions on the search members page in your BD admin area. 150 00:11:28.890 --> 00:11:30.490 So that'll be helpful as well. 151 00:11:30.490 --> 00:11:36.825 Get in bulk add or remove or set, a new credits total for a group of members all at one time. 152 00:11:36.825 --> 00:11:41.225 Or you'll be able to use the APIs like Zapier, Pabbly, etc. To do that. 153 00:11:41.225 --> 00:11:52.330 And again, this is really helpful because if you're asking your members to take actions on third party websites or through other things that they're doing outside of the BD site, you can reward them with credits 154 00:11:52.870 --> 00:11:57.765 using workflows with Zapier and Pabbly, etcetera. So you can give them $10 credit, 155 00:11:58.325 --> 00:11:59.605 and all that good stuff. 156 00:11:59.605 --> 00:12:07.925 So this allows you to engage your members more, by, you know, gifting them and incentivizing them to take other actions outside of your BD site. 157 00:12:07.925 --> 00:12:11.285 The next one here we've been talking about, it is also coming soon. It's on the cusp. 158 00:12:11.285 --> 00:12:13.380 There's just a few priority items ahead of it. 159 00:12:13.460 --> 00:12:19.800 When members have paid plans and they wanna close their paid plans, their account is closed immediately. 160 00:12:20.260 --> 00:12:31.455 This update will give them the option to close it immediately or close it on the end of their current subscription date because, technically, they're already paid through the end of the month or the end of the year, etcetera. 161 00:12:31.455 --> 00:12:36.755 So you'll have two options, close the account immediately or end it at the end of the subscription date. 162 00:12:36.815 --> 00:12:40.175 This next one is for SEO. It's related to member reviews. 163 00:12:40.175 --> 00:12:43.560 We're creating a new SEO template which will basically 164 00:12:43.940 --> 00:12:53.380 showcase and allow Google to index all the reviews of an individual member on a dedicated page only for the reviews of that individual member. 165 00:12:53.380 --> 00:12:58.455 So that would be good for SEO. If you don't need that page, you can choose to not index it. 166 00:12:58.455 --> 00:13:00.375 I do think it'll be very good for SEO. 167 00:13:00.375 --> 00:13:08.900 You'll have the member profile page, which includes all the data relevant to that member, and you'll also have a dedicated reviews page for that member as well. 168 00:13:09.040 --> 00:13:16.180 And lastly here, and there are a lot of updates coming down the line, but just to fill this page here, we are creating a new webhook. 169 00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:22.095 A webhook sends data that's happening on your BD site out to third party platforms. 170 00:13:22.235 --> 00:13:28.255 So you'll have a webhook for any payment attempts on your BD website, whether they're successful captures, 171 00:13:29.035 --> 00:13:30.975 fails, or anything else. 172 00:13:31.115 --> 00:13:35.375 And with that information, you can update your other systems, whether it be QuickBooks, 173 00:13:35.940 --> 00:13:37.860 or other CRMs, and, 174 00:13:38.260 --> 00:13:39.400 or also get notified, 175 00:13:39.940 --> 00:13:41.560 that way as well. So, 176 00:13:42.020 --> 00:13:44.580 lots of updates coming soon. Good things are being pushed. 177 00:13:44.580 --> 00:13:47.640 I could list more, but we don't have enough on this slide. 178 00:13:47.904 --> 00:13:50.805 What we can do is we could just take a question or comment. 179 00:13:51.105 --> 00:13:57.904 If you wanna raise your hand just on this slide, if you have any questions or comments about these updates, we could take them here. 180 00:13:57.904 --> 00:14:02.290 And I see David's got his hand up. How you doing, David? How you doing? This is David Durico. 181 00:14:02.290 --> 00:14:04.870 I've been I've had a a Brilliant directory 182 00:14:05.490 --> 00:14:05.990 lifetime, 183 00:14:06.690 --> 00:14:07.190 platform. 184 00:14:07.570 --> 00:14:11.650 Just haven't had time to implement it. I was wondering a couple of things. 185 00:14:11.650 --> 00:14:14.390 Is there a listing of all the Brilliant directories? 186 00:14:15.225 --> 00:14:15.725 And, 187 00:14:16.584 --> 00:14:19.005 how could I work either through 188 00:14:19.545 --> 00:14:24.045 video or getting some people to help me? Because you've got a lot of clients, 189 00:14:24.505 --> 00:14:26.845 and this is gonna be a perfect fit. 190 00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:30.220 So how do I get started and implement 191 00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:33.740 and, you know, because Great. Great question. 192 00:14:34.280 --> 00:14:38.940 Let me let me share with you some resources, David, that might be helpful. Inside your 193 00:14:40.045 --> 00:14:44.605 platform, what I would recommend is go to manage websites. It's the teal colored link up there. 194 00:14:44.605 --> 00:14:47.745 This will take you to where you can see all your active websites. 195 00:14:48.125 --> 00:14:52.545 But here, more specifically, we have a link to the getting started videos. 196 00:14:53.060 --> 00:14:55.079 This is great for basic configuration. 197 00:14:55.459 --> 00:15:01.800 I would start here also familiarizes you with, kind of the areas of the admin where to make simple, 198 00:15:02.500 --> 00:15:05.560 changes. There's also a link to the support documentation. 199 00:15:05.940 --> 00:15:09.675 So if you want if you have questions, you can look for articles there. 200 00:15:10.375 --> 00:15:13.755 And then what to your point, if you have questions, 201 00:15:14.214 --> 00:15:21.595 I think the Facebook group, and I'll post a link to the Facebook group in the chat here, is also a great place to ask how to questions, 202 00:15:22.510 --> 00:15:23.570 strategy questions. 203 00:15:23.950 --> 00:15:26.029 And let me just go back to this page here. 204 00:15:26.029 --> 00:15:31.870 You can also create a support ticket here in your admin area. This is great for simple questions. 205 00:15:31.870 --> 00:15:33.730 We usually reply same day, 206 00:15:34.270 --> 00:15:39.555 or so. So you can just ask questions if you're stuck. And then lastly, if you're looking to, 207 00:15:40.735 --> 00:15:46.515 if you're looking to work with someone who's a BD expert who can kinda help you with more advanced setup and configuration, 208 00:15:47.135 --> 00:15:48.995 we always recommend the marketplace. 209 00:15:49.800 --> 00:15:51.260 We have, vetted, 210 00:15:51.800 --> 00:15:53.500 developers here for hire, 211 00:15:54.040 --> 00:15:56.220 that you can work with. These are third parties. 212 00:15:56.760 --> 00:15:57.960 You can search here. 213 00:15:57.960 --> 00:16:02.055 They're in different time zones around the world, and there are some great people here. 214 00:16:02.135 --> 00:16:04.935 And again, these are vetted. We we know them, and, 215 00:16:05.415 --> 00:16:11.255 we kinda know that the word we can trust them to work with, recommending them to work with, BD, clients. 216 00:16:11.255 --> 00:16:14.395 So that would be my recommendation for you there. 217 00:16:14.810 --> 00:16:16.810 Alright. Let's go back to the slide here. 218 00:16:17.050 --> 00:16:21.389 Al, let me unmute your mic if you have any questions or comments about these updates. 219 00:16:21.850 --> 00:16:26.190 Yes. Thank you for this opportunity. We were just talking about incentivizing 220 00:16:27.290 --> 00:16:28.510 members to 221 00:16:29.050 --> 00:16:30.510 get us paid members. 222 00:16:30.865 --> 00:16:33.045 Right? And this credit program 223 00:16:33.585 --> 00:16:34.565 seems to be 224 00:16:35.025 --> 00:16:35.685 perfect for 225 00:16:36.225 --> 00:16:37.445 that in that 226 00:16:37.905 --> 00:16:39.445 our idea is to 227 00:16:40.065 --> 00:16:40.565 maybe 228 00:16:41.265 --> 00:16:41.765 provide, 229 00:16:42.705 --> 00:16:45.925 like, a a free month or two months free 230 00:16:46.670 --> 00:16:49.490 for every paid member that we get. 231 00:16:50.029 --> 00:16:51.970 Is there a way to kinda 232 00:16:52.430 --> 00:16:54.209 automate that with with this? 233 00:16:55.070 --> 00:17:00.130 What you can do is the following. Let me let me share with you here. If we go to membership plans 234 00:17:01.475 --> 00:17:10.855 and if somebody's referring someone, part of the member credits features and we're always like, when you have we have an add on, it does one thing, and then over time, we'll we'll expand on it. 235 00:17:10.994 --> 00:17:13.234 If you come up to sign ups and upgrades 236 00:17:14.115 --> 00:17:15.655 let me scroll down here. 237 00:17:16.610 --> 00:17:17.510 Here we go. 238 00:17:18.050 --> 00:17:20.530 When you have the credits add on, you could say, 239 00:17:21.090 --> 00:17:25.830 reward credits to assign after sign up. That's to the person who's signing up. 240 00:17:26.290 --> 00:17:29.385 And then you could say this, credits assigned to referring member. 241 00:17:31.865 --> 00:17:33.645 Members who refer new sign ups. 242 00:17:34.025 --> 00:17:38.265 You can say yes, and this is for people signing up to this plan, membership plan three. 243 00:17:38.265 --> 00:17:43.145 So you'll know the nominal value of of the membership plan someone signing up to. 244 00:17:43.145 --> 00:17:48.110 So you could make it very simple and say, you know, if you refer someone, you'll get $20 245 00:17:48.110 --> 00:17:49.090 of credits. 246 00:17:49.630 --> 00:17:50.929 And there's we have documentation 247 00:17:51.230 --> 00:18:01.325 on it, but it shows how the members who are referring can can, share a link or or the person who's signing up can enter the the member ID of the person who referred them. 248 00:18:01.325 --> 00:18:05.264 There's several methods for it. But this should handle you giving credits 249 00:18:05.644 --> 00:18:10.980 that will amount to a month or two of their free membership or close to that. Okay. Great. 250 00:18:10.980 --> 00:18:13.860 Thank you. You are welcome. Good question there. Alright. 251 00:18:13.860 --> 00:18:18.900 Let's take one more question here, and then we'll move on. We got Tony here. Hey, guys. 252 00:18:18.900 --> 00:18:21.480 Can you hear me? Yeah.

So 255 00:18:25.595 --> 00:18:30.235 my question is more on strategy, but I wanted to get my hand up. But I will say these these, 256 00:18:30.555 --> 00:18:34.955 dates that you're making, it's fantastic. So Thank you. But I can wait till the other, 257 00:18:35.675 --> 00:18:39.880 Okay.

I'm working on that. But outside of that, maybe there's something else that you could see. 285 00:20:19.845 --> 00:20:21.865 Yeah. What's your site? Let's take a look together. 286 00:20:22.325 --> 00:20:25.225 Okay. So it's discoverTitusville.com. 287 00:20:25.605 --> 00:20:29.785 Give me one moment here, and we'll get in there together. K.

Titusville.com. 290 00:20:37.500 --> 00:20:42.179 Then down at the bottom, I think, is the, like, the sign up or I can give you the I got it. 291 00:20:42.220 --> 00:20:46.080 Loop here. Okay. So your ultimate guide to 292 00:20:46.525 --> 00:20:47.025 exploring, 293 00:20:47.804 --> 00:20:52.365 the charming community of Titusville, Florida. That's great, great subject line there. 294 00:20:52.605 --> 00:20:53.425 Couple things. 295 00:20:54.605 --> 00:20:55.085 I would 296 00:20:55.645 --> 00:20:57.505 where can I join right here? 297 00:20:58.285 --> 00:20:59.905 It's down at the bottom 298 00:21:00.525 --> 00:21:01.425 of right hand. 299 00:21:01.850 --> 00:21:06.830 Okay. I would recommend a a higher a, a higher up call to action, 300 00:21:08.010 --> 00:21:10.030 you know, maybe in the header. 301 00:21:10.330 --> 00:21:14.750 Or sometimes you can have two buttons here, like add your Titusville business. 302 00:21:15.685 --> 00:21:18.745 So that's just something to consider for you there. Okay. 303 00:21:19.045 --> 00:21:22.585 And let's go to the join page here. It's down here in red. 304 00:21:24.725 --> 00:21:25.225 Alright. 305 00:21:27.430 --> 00:21:29.110 Want more customers? That's great. 306 00:21:29.110 --> 00:21:33.530 Joining over a hundred plus Titusville businesses benefiting from being on Discover 307 00:21:33.830 --> 00:21:34.330 Titusville. 308 00:21:35.030 --> 00:21:36.710 So that's that's great. 309 00:21:37.350 --> 00:21:42.810 You can always say, like, want more visibility, but I think want more customers cuts to the point. 310 00:21:44.335 --> 00:21:45.235 I would 311 00:21:45.775 --> 00:21:47.475 you have basic and premium. 312 00:21:47.934 --> 00:21:51.635 Mhmm. What what I found is helpful is if you make it something 313 00:21:52.255 --> 00:21:52.755 tangible, 314 00:21:53.135 --> 00:21:53.794 for example, 315 00:21:54.815 --> 00:21:55.315 basic, 316 00:21:56.669 --> 00:21:57.169 listing, 317 00:21:57.710 --> 00:21:59.570 right, or basic visibility. 318 00:22:01.470 --> 00:22:05.549 Because bay then then what it does is it's not just, like, basic. 319 00:22:05.549 --> 00:22:09.765 It's they're they feel like they're getting they're trading something. Right? Okay. 320 00:22:09.765 --> 00:22:13.305 Because they're paying for the visibility or they're paying for the listing. 321 00:22:13.845 --> 00:22:19.945 Right? So it it turns it into a noun or or an object instead of, like, an ambiguous 322 00:22:20.565 --> 00:22:21.065 membership 323 00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:23.460 Okay. In this case. 324 00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:26.179 You have here list now, 325 00:22:27.520 --> 00:22:29.120 47 326 00:22:29.120 --> 00:22:31.700 per month, fifty percent off what? 327 00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:33.460 Okay. So you're having 328 00:22:34.045 --> 00:22:35.085 a What's You know what? 329 00:22:35.085 --> 00:22:39.745 I had it broken down actually, you know, what it would cost and stuff like that. 330 00:22:39.805 --> 00:22:41.645 But I took that out because, 331 00:22:42.125 --> 00:22:42.625 like, 332 00:22:43.085 --> 00:22:46.620 sometimes people say, well, that's actually what they see. They don't see that. 333 00:22:46.700 --> 00:22:47.980 So I I took that out. 334 00:22:47.980 --> 00:22:51.500 I could put it back though because I actually broke it down how much they were actually 335 00:22:52.460 --> 00:22:52.960 Right. 336 00:22:53.260 --> 00:22:54.620 So And then I Yeah. 337 00:22:54.620 --> 00:22:58.640 I I see also you have the the premier in the middle, which is the most expensive. 338 00:23:00.105 --> 00:23:00.605 Generally 339 00:23:01.305 --> 00:23:02.845 generally, people see 340 00:23:03.545 --> 00:23:06.105 them in order like the $19.47 341 00:23:06.105 --> 00:23:10.845 and 65 or the other way around where the premium would be first and then 40 seventh. 342 00:23:10.985 --> 00:23:13.085 I I would recommend that maybe also, 343 00:23:14.789 --> 00:23:20.890 because then peep when people are making a decision, it's very clear for them to go either left to right or right to left. 344 00:23:21.990 --> 00:23:24.730 And and just again, these are just just my opinions here. 345 00:23:24.789 --> 00:23:28.169 If you're gonna do the 50% off, instead of more sales, 346 00:23:28.475 --> 00:23:30.735 you could change this text to, 347 00:23:31.515 --> 00:23:33.035 you know, something to the effect of, 348 00:23:34.555 --> 00:23:35.055 September 349 00:23:35.435 --> 00:23:35.935 promo, 350 00:23:36.475 --> 00:23:39.115 normal price. You know, I'm just gonna put $99 here. 351 00:23:39.115 --> 00:23:44.799 But some something since you're such a like, give them some it the the 50% off needs, 352 00:23:45.340 --> 00:23:46.299 context. Right? 353 00:23:46.299 --> 00:23:51.440 I need to see where what the regular price was if you're going to do a a promo like that. 354 00:23:52.140 --> 00:23:57.395 I like the the description here. I don't think you need billed monthly. I I think it's redundant. 355 00:23:58.335 --> 00:24:00.755 Here, I see what you're doing here. Build annually. 356 00:24:01.615 --> 00:24:06.195 I would I wouldn't again, I would keep the I would keep continuity 357 00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:10.820 because I see what what you're doing here at 65 a month billed annually. 358 00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:15.460 I would keep continuity and just stick with per month and 359 00:24:16.080 --> 00:24:22.495 or let them or or mention the yearly price here, like, save save 50% annually or something like that. 360 00:24:22.495 --> 00:24:23.395 Mhmm. Like, 361 00:24:23.855 --> 00:24:24.355 So 362 00:24:24.895 --> 00:24:28.995 and and I'll just run through this real quick just and and maybe this will help. 363 00:24:29.695 --> 00:24:31.715 So the the plan is is 364 00:24:32.029 --> 00:24:33.970 there's basic and there's premium. 365 00:24:36.909 --> 00:24:41.250 Premium just as just using these names because that's what I got up there right now. 366 00:24:41.389 --> 00:24:48.395 So, basically, premium is I just want the whole idea is is the cost is gonna be almost the same 367 00:24:49.095 --> 00:24:50.475 as basic and premium. 368 00:24:50.855 --> 00:24:53.515 The only difference is is the annual 369 00:24:54.535 --> 00:24:56.795 they get the 50 you know, they get the 370 00:24:57.175 --> 00:25:03.960 basically, the cost of what it would cost for basic, They're getting upgraded to the premium account if they do the annual. 371 00:25:04.580 --> 00:25:06.120 That's the whole idea. 372 00:25:06.659 --> 00:25:07.159 So 373 00:25:07.860 --> 00:25:11.880 they are literally, like, the same price when you break it down. 374 00:25:12.925 --> 00:25:16.545 Okay. But the reason why I wanted to have you look at it because then, 375 00:25:16.925 --> 00:25:17.745 you know, what's 376 00:25:18.365 --> 00:25:22.525 kind of Right. So so I guess I mean, I can get more into it, but I think Yeah. 377 00:25:22.605 --> 00:25:24.845 Maybe a little more continuity. Mhmm. 378 00:25:25.325 --> 00:25:26.705 Reduce some of the redundancies. 379 00:25:27.710 --> 00:25:32.110 Okay. And just a better context as to what the deals are. 380 00:25:32.430 --> 00:25:35.330 And if you're doing comparison between monthly and yearly, 381 00:25:35.710 --> 00:25:38.770 you know, you could just do the yearly, you know, in a parenthesis, 382 00:25:39.070 --> 00:25:45.065 like or choose yearly and save 20%, you know, and poke it, something like that. Hey. 383 00:25:45.365 --> 00:25:49.465 The other question I have is those little arrows actually drop down boxes. 384 00:25:49.525 --> 00:25:53.365 Would it be better to spell the whole thing out or just keep it in the little drop down? 385 00:25:53.365 --> 00:25:55.305 I mean, do you think you'd I build it? 386 00:25:56.630 --> 00:25:58.330 Usually a plus icon 387 00:25:58.630 --> 00:26:00.650 is the instead of the arrow. 388 00:26:01.830 --> 00:26:06.789 Okay. I have on my other the join page, you'll see that it's actually a little plus. Yeah. 389 00:26:06.789 --> 00:26:11.545 So make Usually a plus icon. And then yeah. That might work well. But, 390 00:26:11.865 --> 00:26:16.045 overall, I think you're on the right what what is the solopreneur compared to the basic? 391 00:26:17.065 --> 00:26:18.605 So, like, the solopreneur 392 00:26:19.145 --> 00:26:20.205 would be for 393 00:26:20.585 --> 00:26:22.765 really small, like, network marketers, 394 00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:26.540 people who have you know, it's just one person, 395 00:26:27.320 --> 00:26:31.180 you know, versus, you know, where it's a brick and mortar type businesses. 396 00:26:31.240 --> 00:26:34.060 That would be the ones to the Right. Okay. 397 00:26:35.975 --> 00:26:43.195 So what is what are they getting that's different than the basic plan besides they're a smaller organization and you're trying to be nicer to the smaller organization? 398 00:26:43.815 --> 00:26:45.275 Are you talking about the solopreneur? 399 00:26:45.895 --> 00:26:49.355 Yeah. They're basically the same far as what they're getting. 400 00:26:49.789 --> 00:26:55.970 I I mean, a lot of the things are are very similar because I didn't really wanna make them that much different. 401 00:26:56.190 --> 00:26:56.909 Just wanted to, 402 00:26:57.630 --> 00:26:59.890 but the solopreneur is for individuals. 403 00:26:59.950 --> 00:27:05.490 So if if a business signs up for them, I'm gonna say something to them because it's not for, like, a restaurant. 404 00:27:05.655 --> 00:27:13.735 It's for that person who has products or a service that puts it on Facebook but wants to get it out there, you know, have something that they can 405 00:27:14.615 --> 00:27:19.560 That may be hard to regulate in my opinion. And and I think that, like, over moderation 406 00:27:20.020 --> 00:27:21.080 is not necessary. 407 00:27:21.540 --> 00:27:30.580 And maybe there's a brick and mortar, and they actually do less in monthly revenue than, say, like, a real estate agent who might be do you know, I'm just sit thinking out loud. 408 00:27:30.580 --> 00:27:33.225 So, like, who so, like, the fact that they're a solopreneur 409 00:27:33.525 --> 00:27:34.745 doesn't really reflect 410 00:27:35.045 --> 00:27:37.385 what their monthly budget would be just because, 411 00:27:37.925 --> 00:27:40.345 there might be an organization with more employees, 412 00:27:41.445 --> 00:27:42.425 in that sense. 413 00:27:43.205 --> 00:27:49.210 You may wanna consider and I don't want to to to push this too much, but having a free listing, 414 00:27:49.590 --> 00:27:51.850 and it's just their name and their address, 415 00:27:52.630 --> 00:27:58.169 and then a basic which offers more of the features like name, address, link to your website. 416 00:27:58.470 --> 00:27:59.929 You're ahead of the free listings, 417 00:28:00.875 --> 00:28:05.934 and and there's other perks they could share also, like the ability to post coupons, events, things like that. 418 00:28:06.154 --> 00:28:07.534 And then the premier 419 00:28:08.235 --> 00:28:15.215 is is, you know, the whole go if you go to forward slash join, that's the free. 420 00:28:15.980 --> 00:28:18.800 And and basically, they have a lot of but 421 00:28:19.260 --> 00:28:20.800 you just get more with 422 00:28:21.180 --> 00:28:23.260 the solopreneur type of thing. 423 00:28:23.260 --> 00:28:27.520 So, like, you have the member and that's free, and they get a lot of different things. 424 00:28:27.740 --> 00:28:29.520 But the ones that's, you know, the 425 00:28:29.820 --> 00:28:31.120 entrepreneur basically 426 00:28:31.534 --> 00:28:32.274 just gets 427 00:28:32.575 --> 00:28:34.975 more of the other. Okay. Alright. That's 428 00:28:35.375 --> 00:28:39.615 I'm just saying. I I'm in I'm not saying it's right. That's why I wanted you you to get it, though. 429 00:28:39.615 --> 00:28:43.475 I appreciate that. Yeah. I'm with you. So, yeah, I would just go for continuity, 430 00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:48.660 simplicity, especially if you're starting out. You just want people to make a binary decision. 431 00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:50.260 You don't wanna have them 432 00:28:50.560 --> 00:28:56.900 have to bring out a notebook and start figuring out what's what you don't wanna get confuse them. 433 00:28:57.575 --> 00:29:01.255 You want them to make a split second decision like, oh, basic. Yep. 434 00:29:01.255 --> 00:29:05.435 That's what I'm in the mood for today. Or premium. I gotta have that. I can afford that. 435 00:29:05.575 --> 00:29:06.955 Let's go with that today. 436 00:29:07.415 --> 00:29:10.795 I'd like two plans. Because of that reason, it becomes binary. 437 00:29:11.090 --> 00:29:17.830 I like the free option because it allows you to get your foot in the door for someone who may not be ready to take out their wallet today and make a payment. 438 00:29:19.170 --> 00:29:22.310 But and then again, like, I don't see the difference between solopreneur 439 00:29:22.690 --> 00:29:27.335 and basic and premium. So we gotta we gotta maybe think of the names of these to be more in 440 00:29:27.715 --> 00:29:30.294 line, one to match your branding's persona, 441 00:29:30.915 --> 00:29:34.135 you know, things that might be in line with, your branding. 442 00:29:35.475 --> 00:29:40.054 And, yeah, that that that would be my my suggestion there and and just simplify everything. 443 00:29:40.170 --> 00:29:43.150 So, yeah, that those would be my suggestions there. Thank you, Tony. 444 00:29:43.450 --> 00:29:48.330 Alright. Let's see who's got their hand up. Our good friend, Arlana, here. Hi there. Thank you. 445 00:29:48.330 --> 00:29:50.830 How are you today? I'm I'm doing good. Thanks. 446 00:29:50.970 --> 00:29:54.555 Just a small little glitch that I'm having trouble figuring out. 447 00:29:55.035 --> 00:29:58.335 On the bottom of my web of my page 448 00:29:58.875 --> 00:30:00.975 in the footer where it says categories, 449 00:30:02.315 --> 00:30:03.215 view categories 450 00:30:03.595 --> 00:30:06.735 and locations or search by categories and locations. 451 00:30:07.755 --> 00:30:09.455 Somehow I've lost those pages. 452 00:30:11.190 --> 00:30:15.750 They could be in error, so I can't figure out how to fix that. Yeah. Let's do that together. 453 00:30:15.750 --> 00:30:16.730 What's your site? 454 00:30:18.070 --> 00:30:19.929 We wellness.directory. 455 00:30:20.710 --> 00:30:25.290 Alright. Let's take a look together. Alright. So first, let's take a look at your site's footer. 456 00:30:25.875 --> 00:30:26.375 It's 457 00:30:26.755 --> 00:30:27.735 loading up here. 458 00:30:30.115 --> 00:30:30.615 K. 459 00:30:31.475 --> 00:30:33.255 And scroll down here. 460 00:30:34.275 --> 00:30:34.775 Okay. 461 00:30:35.635 --> 00:30:37.255 So we have browse categories, 462 00:30:37.875 --> 00:30:38.375 locations. 463 00:30:39.395 --> 00:30:44.650 Yeah. So these are not lit working? Yeah. Everything else seems like I did some rebranding. 464 00:30:44.710 --> 00:30:46.150 I changed the the, 465 00:30:46.630 --> 00:30:51.290 URL and but those two, I just noticed them yesterday that they're not 466 00:30:52.070 --> 00:30:53.590 connecting to anything. And 467 00:30:55.595 --> 00:30:57.295 Okay. Let's see if the page, 468 00:30:58.315 --> 00:30:58.815 exists. 469 00:30:59.275 --> 00:31:02.015 We'll search for the categories page first. 470 00:31:03.275 --> 00:31:08.095 It should be a simple fix here. So you do have a categories page here if we edit it. 471 00:31:10.670 --> 00:31:11.650 I think I just 472 00:31:12.030 --> 00:31:16.830 accidentally did that today trying to figure out how to fix it. Okay. Give me a second. 473 00:31:16.830 --> 00:31:23.010 I'll I'll get that, back the way it was, normally for you. Just a second. That'd be great. 474 00:31:23.150 --> 00:31:25.170 You got it. Just one moment here. 475 00:31:27.065 --> 00:31:30.765 And I'll we'll get both your locations page and your, 476 00:31:31.625 --> 00:31:33.485 categories page up and running. 477 00:31:34.265 --> 00:31:38.045 Okay. That's what I need. Alright. Let me share this again. 478 00:31:38.665 --> 00:31:41.245 Okay. So if we go back to your web page builder, 479 00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:44.580 let's go to your categories page 480 00:31:47.040 --> 00:31:47.780 right here. 481 00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:50.180 And what we'll do is 482 00:31:51.520 --> 00:31:56.020 just copy from kind of the master that we have here. This is what was there before. 483 00:31:56.505 --> 00:32:01.165 And I'll just save those changes here on your site. And let's see if the categories page is working. 484 00:32:02.665 --> 00:32:03.725 Let's view the page. 485 00:32:05.545 --> 00:32:08.505 Okay. There you go. So, there, here you go. Here are your categories again. 486 00:32:08.505 --> 00:32:10.285 It should link in the footer correctly. 487 00:32:10.345 --> 00:32:16.309 You can always go to the demo bootstrap site if you ever kind of, like, delete or or change a default page. 488 00:32:16.309 --> 00:32:18.970 This is a default page that comes with all BD sites. 489 00:32:19.350 --> 00:32:23.929 You can always then replicate what's there. Now let's get your locations page working. 490 00:32:24.165 --> 00:32:28.645 So what we'll do in this case is we'll create a new page because it looks like that page has been deleted. 491 00:32:28.645 --> 00:32:31.705 Let's see. Yeah. There's no locations page, so we'll do location. 492 00:32:32.405 --> 00:32:35.545 And the URL will be location, and it will be, 493 00:32:36.405 --> 00:32:37.865 just a moment here. 494 00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:41.059 Let's see. 495 00:32:41.520 --> 00:32:42.640 Just give me a moment. 496 00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:46.740 I messed one thing up, but we'll get that for you in just one more moment here. 497 00:32:48.480 --> 00:32:51.780 I really appreciate it. I I have no idea how that happened. 498 00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:52.980 Oh, it's okay. 499 00:32:54.335 --> 00:32:57.235 Not a problem at all. Just give me one more moment here. 500 00:33:01.135 --> 00:33:02.195 Okay.

So here's your locations page here. 511 00:33:41.059 --> 00:33:41.559 Perfect. 512 00:33:42.020 --> 00:33:45.000 And let's just open these two just so you can see here. 513 00:33:45.380 --> 00:33:45.880 Categories 514 00:33:46.900 --> 00:33:47.400 and 515 00:33:48.075 --> 00:33:48.575 locations, 516 00:33:49.034 --> 00:33:52.015 and you should be good. What did I see? Drums? That's great. 517 00:33:53.755 --> 00:33:55.294 Looking good. Yeah. 518 00:33:55.674 --> 00:33:58.414 Wonderful. Thank you so much. You're welcome. 519 00:33:59.115 --> 00:34:02.335 Love the colors of your site too. The the purple and green is nice. 520 00:34:02.740 --> 00:34:04.919 Alright, Don. Let's go with Don here. 521 00:34:05.460 --> 00:34:10.040 I was wanting to know how I could add sort of, content 522 00:34:10.420 --> 00:34:13.960 block or a blog on my main page. 523 00:34:14.339 --> 00:34:16.364 My site's maui.guide. 524 00:34:16.525 --> 00:34:19.585 Oh, you gotta invite us over one night one day to 525 00:34:19.965 --> 00:34:23.165 to Maui. Alright. I have lots of specials. That's for sure. 526 00:34:23.165 --> 00:34:29.485 But what I've done has been sort of working on this over our time period, and and I'm going to, 527 00:34:30.780 --> 00:34:32.800 set up a a free listing for, 528 00:34:33.660 --> 00:34:38.320 for Raleigh because a lot of them have been hurting since that fire a year ago. 529 00:34:38.380 --> 00:34:41.120 That's still stack on their feet. So, 530 00:34:41.820 --> 00:34:43.679 I was looking at trying to 531 00:34:44.054 --> 00:34:47.194 put a content where I can put sort of information, 532 00:34:48.454 --> 00:34:49.594 before the categories 533 00:34:49.895 --> 00:34:52.234 just after the the local travel guide. 534 00:34:52.694 --> 00:34:57.114 Absolutely. Let me help you with that. You go to your design settings here. 535 00:34:57.494 --> 00:34:57.994 K. 536 00:34:58.670 --> 00:35:03.090 And I could see you're you're already familiar with the the streaming content sections. 537 00:35:03.710 --> 00:35:08.210 Let's take a look here. We'll go to the homepage tab. Make sure I'm sharing here. Yep. 538 00:35:08.750 --> 00:35:11.010 And select content to display. 539 00:35:12.215 --> 00:35:15.435 So it looks like you have content custom content one. 540 00:35:16.535 --> 00:35:20.475 And let me just check one more thing here. But then you have categories. 541 00:35:20.855 --> 00:35:21.675 Your categories 542 00:35:22.135 --> 00:35:25.035 are it looks like you've listed them here under. 543 00:35:25.350 --> 00:35:30.090 Oh, I see. You put the widget here. So what we're gonna do is this. We're not gonna touch this one, 544 00:35:30.390 --> 00:35:32.170 custom content one. Let's, 545 00:35:32.950 --> 00:35:39.015 the names are just for the, like just because it's custom content two doesn't mean it has to come after one. 546 00:35:39.174 --> 00:35:43.595 So we're gonna do custom content two, and we're gonna drag it up before here. 547 00:35:43.894 --> 00:35:46.615 And let's edit this one, and I'll just put, 548 00:35:47.174 --> 00:35:49.115 can I just say welcome to Maui? 549 00:35:50.214 --> 00:35:51.674 Yeah. Welcome to Maui. 550 00:35:53.260 --> 00:35:55.080 Then I can add other information. 551 00:35:56.100 --> 00:35:56.600 Exactly. 552 00:35:57.380 --> 00:36:02.520 So what we have here is if we reset this above your categories here, 553 00:36:03.380 --> 00:36:07.055 it should say welcome to Maui. There's no background color. It's just white. 554 00:36:07.055 --> 00:36:08.915 This one's using green and gray. Okay. 555 00:36:09.615 --> 00:36:10.835 So it looks like, 556 00:36:11.535 --> 00:36:14.755 it's all good now, and you can add whatever you need here. 557 00:36:15.214 --> 00:36:16.434 Great. Super. 558 00:36:16.895 --> 00:36:18.415 Can I recommend one, 559 00:36:18.734 --> 00:36:21.630 design setting that you may wanna take advantage of? 560 00:36:21.930 --> 00:36:22.430 Okay. 561 00:36:22.810 --> 00:36:23.450 It is, 562 00:36:23.850 --> 00:36:24.670 under the 563 00:36:25.290 --> 00:36:27.470 in the general tab, main design, 564 00:36:28.650 --> 00:36:29.950 the website width. 565 00:36:30.410 --> 00:36:34.670 There is an extra wide if you wanna just see what it looks like for a moment. 566 00:36:35.050 --> 00:36:36.704 Okay. Because what I'm noticing 567 00:36:37.085 --> 00:36:42.925 is some of your main menu items are on two lines, and this might I don't think this is pretty long, actually. 568 00:36:42.925 --> 00:36:45.185 I don't know if it's gonna fully alleviate that. 569 00:36:45.484 --> 00:36:49.105 But it what it does is it spreads out the site a bit wider here, 570 00:36:50.160 --> 00:36:53.380 to fill the screen a bit more, which helps images appear larger, 571 00:36:54.400 --> 00:36:55.220 and so on. 572 00:36:55.680 --> 00:37:01.220 I like that. Yeah. If you wanna revert it back, it's under design settings, the first, main design 573 00:37:01.520 --> 00:37:05.605 module. And if you wanna go back, you can just go back to standard default here. Okay. 574 00:37:05.605 --> 00:37:08.265 Well, let's go ahead and change it. I like that making it wider. 575 00:37:08.805 --> 00:37:09.705 Yeah. Okay. 576 00:37:10.005 --> 00:37:10.505 Okay. 577 00:37:10.885 --> 00:37:14.665 Great. Well, good luck with your site. It's looking great. Okay. Thanks. 578 00:37:15.125 --> 00:37:15.785 You're welcome. 579 00:37:16.325 --> 00:37:21.740 Alright. Good stuff there. Don's inviting all of us to a trip to Maui. That's nice of him. 580 00:37:21.740 --> 00:37:27.420 Let's go with, Danielle here. Hello. Can you hear me? Yes. How are you? Good. How about you? Good. 581 00:37:27.420 --> 00:37:29.280 Good. Thank you. Awesome. Awesome. 582 00:37:29.660 --> 00:37:30.140 Okay. 583 00:37:30.700 --> 00:37:37.184 So are you familiar with, one two three forms? No. But it sounds easy as a b c. Oh, 584 00:37:37.484 --> 00:37:38.385 yeah. It is. 585 00:37:39.085 --> 00:37:42.385 Originally, I have built my website on the Wix website. 586 00:37:43.484 --> 00:37:43.984 Alright. 587 00:37:44.605 --> 00:37:46.944 And I have multiple services 588 00:37:47.964 --> 00:37:49.825 for each service page, 589 00:37:50.160 --> 00:37:53.940 and it has a form where customers fill out the needed info. 590 00:37:54.160 --> 00:37:58.819 And then as they go through the form, they can add the rush fee. And if they choose, 591 00:37:59.760 --> 00:38:01.965 the form then tallies the total. 592 00:38:02.445 --> 00:38:05.665 And then they click submit, and it takes them to Stripe to Pay. 593 00:38:05.725 --> 00:38:08.705 Do you have anything like that for your company? 594 00:38:09.085 --> 00:38:11.725 So is that like a shopping cart? Yeah. Kind of. 595 00:38:11.725 --> 00:38:13.980 But it's like a personal shopping cart for each serve. 596 00:38:14.060 --> 00:38:18.780 So the service is embedded in the form, and then they pay for it in the form. Got it. 597 00:38:18.780 --> 00:38:20.700 So are they paying for one service? 598 00:38:20.700 --> 00:38:25.420 Or it sounds like they're tacking on multiple services and then checking out through the step form. 599 00:38:25.420 --> 00:38:26.140 Right. Right. Right. 600 00:38:26.140 --> 00:38:31.815 So just say they chose one one service in the form, and then it's like, oh, do you want a rush fee? 601 00:38:31.955 --> 00:38:35.095 Then they add Got it. I see. That, and then it tallies it. Yeah. 602 00:38:35.475 --> 00:38:44.270 And let me does one, two, three forms have embed code so you can embed that form on the site, and then it sounds like they're being sent to Stripe to complete their payment? 603 00:38:44.410 --> 00:38:46.430 Yeah. It yeah. It does. 604 00:38:47.050 --> 00:38:51.130 Okay. So you can actually add that directly on your Brilliant Directories site. 605 00:38:51.130 --> 00:38:53.710 You don't you can continue using the same workflow. 606 00:38:54.010 --> 00:38:56.670 We don't have anything that does exactly that. 607 00:38:56.685 --> 00:39:00.225 What we do have is the sell digital products and services, 608 00:39:00.685 --> 00:39:05.585 but it's not a step form. It's just like, hey. Buy this ebook, and they're just buying the ebook. 609 00:39:05.725 --> 00:39:10.940 So this might not work for exactly what you're looking to do. However, what you can do, 610 00:39:11.560 --> 00:39:14.060 let's go to one what is it called? One two three forms? 611 00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:15.660 Mhmm. Okay. 612 00:39:18.280 --> 00:39:19.740 And let me just quickly 613 00:39:20.280 --> 00:39:21.100 go to 614 00:39:21.535 --> 00:39:24.995 one two three Form Builder, and let me do one thing here. 615 00:39:27.295 --> 00:39:31.635 How to embed one two three Form Builder. Embed codes publisher one. Perfect. 616 00:39:32.095 --> 00:39:36.710 So they're going to give you a piece of code. It's gonna be JavaScript or iframe method. 617 00:39:36.710 --> 00:39:41.030 Both are gonna be fine or an auto pop up. So they give you the code to copy. Mhmm. 618 00:39:41.030 --> 00:39:44.650 What you can do on your BD site is go to your widget manager. 619 00:39:45.110 --> 00:39:45.610 Okay. 620 00:39:45.990 --> 00:39:48.570 I'm gonna just show you the quick way. 621 00:39:49.125 --> 00:39:50.585 Create new widget. We'll 622 00:39:51.285 --> 00:39:52.885 call it 123 623 00:39:52.885 --> 00:39:54.505 form code, whatever. 624 00:39:55.045 --> 00:39:58.425 And I'm just gonna put a bunch of gibberish in here. Okay? Okay. 625 00:39:58.565 --> 00:40:00.585 So this is gonna be your embed code. 626 00:40:00.805 --> 00:40:05.279 So what you're gonna do is copy the short code for this widget, for the 627 00:40:05.579 --> 00:40:06.220 123 628 00:40:06.380 --> 00:40:10.000 let me just do this right. So it's spelled 12, 3 forms code. 629 00:40:10.460 --> 00:40:12.240 And I'm going to copy the 630 00:40:12.619 --> 00:40:17.145 shortcode for it and save your changes. So just imagine your embed code was in there. 631 00:40:17.705 --> 00:40:18.685 And you can go 632 00:40:18.985 --> 00:40:20.605 anywhere on your BD site 633 00:40:20.905 --> 00:40:24.845 and you can just pop in that embed code. I'll just create a new web page. 634 00:40:25.945 --> 00:40:29.645 And you pop in the shortcode, widget equals one two three forms code. 635 00:40:31.120 --> 00:40:34.580 And and you're done. And that form will render on your BD site, 636 00:40:36.080 --> 00:40:40.240 on any page that you want it to, wherever you you this widget equals. 637 00:40:40.240 --> 00:40:42.900 So widget equals, if you have embed code, 638 00:40:43.365 --> 00:40:49.765 it's like you can drop that anywhere on you can drop it in text labels, you can drop it in form fields, you can you can do lots of things. 639 00:40:49.765 --> 00:40:53.545 So here's that gibberish that I had, but this could be the embed code for the form. 640 00:40:53.685 --> 00:40:57.680 So basically, how it works in Wix would just put here too. Okay. Perfect. 641 00:40:57.900 --> 00:41:02.960 And then, one more question. If you go to my website, uni resolve, u n I, 642 00:41:04.700 --> 00:41:05.599 r e 643 00:41:06.060 --> 00:41:08.720 s o l e, you know, uni resolve 644 00:41:09.155 --> 00:41:11.974 Got it. You'll see a video playing for the background. 645 00:41:14.195 --> 00:41:14.675 This 646 00:41:15.155 --> 00:41:15.895 Oh, wait. 647 00:41:17.954 --> 00:41:21.494 That's not the original site. That's the one that I'm creating with you guys. 648 00:41:22.240 --> 00:41:23.060 Oh, okay. 649 00:41:23.440 --> 00:41:24.420 Unity Resolve? 650 00:41:24.880 --> 00:41:25.380 Yeah. 651 00:41:26.880 --> 00:41:27.380 Unity, 652 00:41:28.880 --> 00:41:30.580 oh, it's an existing site. Okay. 653 00:41:31.200 --> 00:41:32.580 Yeah. Dotcom? 654 00:41:32.640 --> 00:41:33.140 Mhmm. 655 00:41:33.600 --> 00:41:34.095 Okay. 656 00:41:35.535 --> 00:41:38.895 Okay. So this is the one that I was creating. Do you have a, 657 00:41:39.455 --> 00:41:41.955 feature that'll let me play the video on the homepage? 658 00:41:42.815 --> 00:41:44.515 You'll need to do some CSS 659 00:41:44.815 --> 00:41:45.555 with that. 660 00:41:46.255 --> 00:41:49.155 What I would recommend over a video is 661 00:41:53.530 --> 00:41:54.030 What? 662 00:41:55.450 --> 00:41:58.590 Is it a YouTube video or an m p four? What is it exactly? 663 00:42:01.130 --> 00:42:05.775 Or she won't it was just yeah, it was like a drag and drop box on Gotcha. 664 00:42:07.275 --> 00:42:08.575 PO box. Okay. 665 00:42:10.395 --> 00:42:12.255 If you ask in the Facebook group 666 00:42:12.795 --> 00:42:13.295 Mhmm. 667 00:42:13.755 --> 00:42:16.815 I can give you a couple methods to do that. Both the CSS 668 00:42:17.130 --> 00:42:18.890 method, which will work. 669 00:42:19.930 --> 00:42:25.609 My preferred method is not to use, like, a video file and I don't I'm we'll probably explore this later now that you're mentioning it. 670 00:42:25.609 --> 00:42:30.190 So with Wix, you just drag, like, the video URL and then that's what played on here? 671 00:42:30.555 --> 00:42:35.775 Well, I made the video and then I dragged it to, like, a video box that was Got it. 672 00:42:35.915 --> 00:42:40.635 Let me just quickly okay. I see. So so if you have the video, you have the m p four. 673 00:42:40.635 --> 00:42:45.230 What I would recommend is is converting it to a GIF, an animated GIF. Okay. 674 00:42:45.230 --> 00:42:54.690 And what you can do when it's an animated GIF is you can skip all the video stuff, and it's actually better for rendering on mobile and things like that because the video has its own nuances. 675 00:42:55.069 --> 00:43:01.015 Then just come to your hero background image and upload the animated GIF as your hero background image. 676 00:43:01.015 --> 00:43:04.535 And it will play it. And I'm looking at the video.

Just drop your embed code. 688 00:43:35.485 --> 00:43:35.985 Okay. 689 00:43:37.805 --> 00:43:39.805 Just drop your embed code.

Perfect. And then one more question. How to disable some widgets 694 00:43:54.580 --> 00:43:55.720 that are already embedded? 695 00:43:56.705 --> 00:44:01.665 Sure. Do you have an example of one so that we can Just any default widget that's on there. 696 00:44:03.105 --> 00:44:08.645 So, like, for example, on the this yeah. One of the fields on the search box, I don't want. 697 00:44:09.300 --> 00:44:11.880 Sure. So so, for example, the search fields, 698 00:44:12.180 --> 00:44:12.680 like, 699 00:44:13.220 --> 00:44:14.760 this one is name and location. 700 00:44:15.220 --> 00:44:20.920 Mhmm. There there are if you go to search box call to action, there's pretty much every combination 701 00:44:21.540 --> 00:44:25.885 of like, if you want keyword plus location or keyword only, location only, 702 00:44:26.505 --> 00:44:27.485 and so forth, 703 00:44:27.865 --> 00:44:29.485 you can just change them here. 704 00:44:29.945 --> 00:44:30.445 And 705 00:44:30.825 --> 00:44:35.460 you can also do that in the member search results. I'll hit search now. 706 00:44:35.940 --> 00:44:40.359 Mhmm.
