Alright. 48 00:03:14.045 --> 00:03:19.260 And we have a small handful of BD Lab updates to share. Most of these are pretty straightforward. 49 00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:23.319 So I'll just breeze through these starting at the top of the list here. 50 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:28.780 For a while now, you've had the ability to convert a search results page into its own 51 00:03:29.255 --> 00:03:33.974 static page, its own individual page where you can add specific content to a search results page. 52 00:03:33.974 --> 00:03:38.155 So if you wanted to create a add content to just your California 53 00:03:38.694 --> 00:03:41.655 member search results page, you were able to do so. 54 00:03:41.655 --> 00:03:46.570 We have a video on that, but now you can do it for specific membership plans. 55 00:03:46.570 --> 00:03:50.350 So in case you didn't know, you can assign a URL 56 00:03:50.730 --> 00:03:58.895 and see all members of a specific membership plan that's always existed, but now you can also add custom content to those membership plan pages. 57 00:03:58.895 --> 00:04:01.855 So let me, because there's a few components here. 58 00:04:01.855 --> 00:04:09.535 I'll just start on showing you if you don't know where you can customize a membership plan search results page, to see all the members on a search, 59 00:04:10.510 --> 00:04:11.870 of a membership plan. 60 00:04:11.870 --> 00:04:18.930 So, we start in the admin dashboard here and let's go to the finance tab and take a quick look at our membership plans. 61 00:04:19.310 --> 00:04:22.350 Now I've done this as an example for one of the membership plans here. 62 00:04:22.350 --> 00:04:24.530 This is our webinar demo site. 63 00:04:25.474 --> 00:04:29.335 Over here, the premium paid plan, we go to edit. 64 00:04:29.875 --> 00:04:38.455 And once the, the edit form loads up here, quick way to find this is if you use the search filter here and just type in URL. 65 00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:42.660 And also you can customize the URL of the sign up page. 66 00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:48.020 But we're gonna head over to search visibility and we'll see membership plan search results URL. 67 00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:50.500 And in this one, we called it pro members. 68 00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:55.785 You can call it featured members, you can call it special members, whatever you want to call them, basic members, 69 00:04:56.405 --> 00:04:59.945 lawyer members, whatever it may be that this membership plan represents. 70 00:05:00.485 --> 00:05:07.225 And we can go to this URL here, and we can see that this this plan only had one member, but we can see I've added, 71 00:05:07.764 --> 00:05:10.025 custom a custom hero section here. 72 00:05:10.470 --> 00:05:12.970 We love our pro members. Do you want to be, 73 00:05:13.590 --> 00:05:15.590 feature member as well? Bad grammar there. 74 00:05:15.590 --> 00:05:21.770 Sign up now, even a call to action, and here's the one lonely member and also some additional custom content. 75 00:05:22.070 --> 00:05:25.850 This custom content can be more than just text. It can include images, 76 00:05:26.604 --> 00:05:27.085 forms. 77 00:05:27.085 --> 00:05:34.224 You can, embed YouTube videos or videos from other sources as well, whatever your heart desires can be in the content section. 78 00:05:34.604 --> 00:05:36.784 So let me show you how I did that. 79 00:05:37.485 --> 00:05:38.384 When you come 80 00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:43.819 when you set that URL pro members, what you wanna do is copy that URL 81 00:05:44.440 --> 00:05:45.180 pro members 82 00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:46.860 and go to, 83 00:05:47.400 --> 00:05:48.620 your web page builder 84 00:05:49.159 --> 00:05:51.180 and you can click new page. 85 00:05:51.754 --> 00:05:59.055 And for that URL, we want it to match exactly what you entered in the membership plan for that for for the URL. 86 00:05:59.115 --> 00:06:02.335 So I put pro members here. Now here's the trick for this to work. 87 00:06:02.474 --> 00:06:07.320 On the right hand side under page type, we want to select member search results 88 00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:08.280 page. 89 00:06:08.280 --> 00:06:13.420 It will know that this member search this is gonna be a member search results page and it should correspond 90 00:06:13.880 --> 00:06:17.020 to the URL that you've selected for that membership plan. 91 00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:20.140 From there, you can go ahead and save your changes. 92 00:06:21.025 --> 00:06:26.565 Now I've already created a page like this, so I'll go back to the web page builder and I'll show you what we added. 93 00:06:26.865 --> 00:06:28.005 Scroll down here. 94 00:06:28.385 --> 00:06:31.125 A lot of test pages created on this demo site. 95 00:06:31.585 --> 00:06:38.020 Let me scroll up to and just search for pro. Here it is. Pro members. So let me edit this. 96 00:06:38.320 --> 00:06:40.900 So you can see I I have that URL pro members. 97 00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:44.180 The page type is set to member search results. 98 00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:49.060 And I've added some content here, and we'll just add a bunch more. 99 00:06:49.474 --> 00:06:51.014 So here are some paragraphs. 100 00:06:51.555 --> 00:06:56.435 And also the hero section, I've enabled it and then it adds the title and so on. 101 00:06:56.435 --> 00:07:00.754 And then if you scroll down the hero section, I've added that call to action to sign up now. 102 00:07:00.754 --> 00:07:05.590 This is really cool. You know, it can be whatever call to action you want or you can omit it, 103 00:07:05.970 --> 00:07:10.610 and I'll save the changes. And I'll show you one more thing before we move forward on the content. 104 00:07:10.610 --> 00:07:12.530 So I'll just refresh this page here. 105 00:07:12.530 --> 00:07:16.710 And if we toggle open the read more, we can see those paragraphs of content here. 106 00:07:17.085 --> 00:07:19.585 Now here's something right now we see it as tabs. 107 00:07:20.125 --> 00:07:23.505 However, there are other options here. If we go to page options, 108 00:07:24.445 --> 00:07:29.505 here we go where we want the custom HTML placement, the text editor text. 109 00:07:29.750 --> 00:07:32.790 Right now it's inside a tab. Let's move it. There's a few options here. 110 00:07:32.790 --> 00:07:36.330 I won't go through all of them. Let's just move it above the member search results. 111 00:07:36.950 --> 00:07:38.890 And we'll refresh the page. 112 00:07:39.430 --> 00:07:42.710 So here now we can see above the search results. There's no tab. 113 00:07:42.710 --> 00:07:47.185 Now we can see that there is that body of text here. Again, great place for a video, 114 00:07:47.565 --> 00:07:52.705 clickable icons, images and so on. But now you can create a dedicated page, 115 00:07:53.085 --> 00:07:57.025 with customized content on it per membership plan security. 116 00:07:57.645 --> 00:08:00.544 We're all familiar when you log into certain platforms, 117 00:08:01.110 --> 00:08:04.250 whether it be Facebook or your online bank account. 118 00:08:04.710 --> 00:08:06.169 After a certain amount of minutes, 119 00:08:06.550 --> 00:08:09.510 or days or whatnot, you need to log back in. 120 00:08:09.510 --> 00:08:14.410 That's a security feature to make sure that if you've logged in on a public device or computer, 121 00:08:14.835 --> 00:08:17.015 your account doesn't stay open indefinitely. 122 00:08:17.795 --> 00:08:22.535 By default, BD sites, I believe, were seven or thirty days, but now you can decide 123 00:08:22.995 --> 00:08:32.440 in minutes how long a member session will remain active on a specific device before they are automatically logged out and required to log back in. 124 00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:36.679 Let me show you where this, setting is. If if you're worried about, 125 00:08:37.400 --> 00:08:42.700 if, you know, if the site is very sensitive and you're worried about this kind of stuff, you can reduce the amount of time. 126 00:08:43.225 --> 00:08:50.285 If you're not too concerned and, you know, it's just a fun friendly site and even if someone, you know, left the session open, there's no harm, no foul. 127 00:08:50.345 --> 00:08:54.765 You can keep it at the default or longer. So we go to advanced settings 128 00:08:55.270 --> 00:08:58.410 and search for session in the keyword search here. 129 00:08:58.710 --> 00:09:02.790 And if we scroll down, we see here member login session active minutes. 130 00:09:02.790 --> 00:09:05.210 So this is a number represented in minutes, 131 00:09:05.670 --> 00:09:08.310 and this big number here 10,080, 132 00:09:08.310 --> 00:09:09.770 no commas by the way, 133 00:09:10.355 --> 00:09:11.555 represents seven days. 134 00:09:11.555 --> 00:09:16.595 That's seven days times twenty four hours times sixty minutes gives us ten thousand eighty minutes. 135 00:09:16.595 --> 00:09:23.735 So, you can increase this or reduce this if you wanted it to just be an hour like some bank sites are, etcetera, etcetera. 136 00:09:24.069 --> 00:09:27.129 You can set that to sixty minutes. So that exists now, 137 00:09:27.430 --> 00:09:30.730 and you can again increase it or decrease it at your discretion. 138 00:09:31.029 --> 00:09:34.870 This next one here, pretty big deal related to the language on the site. 139 00:09:35.029 --> 00:09:40.945 If you've been with BD for a while, you know, the past year we've been focusing on providing more translation options. 140 00:09:41.805 --> 00:09:53.779 There were some deeper URLs, for example, when when members are editing their own posts in the URL structure, it was hard coded as, for example, account forward slash blog forward slash edit, 141 00:09:54.160 --> 00:09:57.459 and you really couldn't change that forward slash edit. 142 00:09:57.760 --> 00:09:58.959 It's still a work in progress. 143 00:09:58.959 --> 00:10:03.465 There's a few more places that we need to update, but the majority of them are taken care of. 144 00:10:03.465 --> 00:10:08.765 So if you're translating your site and also care about translating the URLs in the web browser, 145 00:10:09.465 --> 00:10:14.525 you can head on over to advanced settings and search for page URL in your filters. 146 00:10:15.065 --> 00:10:18.205 And let's do that together. We're already in the advanced settings. 147 00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:20.420 Let's go to page URL. 148 00:10:20.800 --> 00:10:25.620 See a handful of settings here. Remember dashboard URL by default, it's account. 149 00:10:25.680 --> 00:10:29.060 If you need to translate that into Polish or German or 150 00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:30.019 Chinese, 151 00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:34.795 it can support that and you can change it. So there are a handful here. 152 00:10:35.655 --> 00:10:41.115 You know, arrange is when you're arranging the photo or order of a photo album that's its own page. 153 00:10:41.655 --> 00:10:50.459 So you can just scroll down here and if you need to translate your site to another language and for continuity of that, you can change the URL slugs here. 154 00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:51.600 There's quite a few of them. 155 00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:58.845 I think we've reached most of them, but if you find one, you can report it to the support team and we'll create a ticket to get that added to the list here. 156 00:10:59.004 --> 00:11:02.064 And lastly, we've added a ton more speed optimizations. 157 00:11:02.444 --> 00:11:09.584 This time more so in the admin area, the front end is looking nice and stable, but we are always looking for opportunities to improve that. 158 00:11:09.884 --> 00:11:12.944 And also coming soon, also related to SEO, 159 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:19.120 the ability to optimize individual file names and all tags of post images and album images. 160 00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:26.420 So if you're really looking to edge your SEO with regard to photo optimization, you'll soon have the access to do that. 161 00:11:26.765 --> 00:11:35.025 Also, this one's gonna be a little bit slower, but we are working on refreshing some of our staple themes as well as creating new themes, 162 00:11:35.645 --> 00:11:39.725 for specific niches, post types, and also adding more color sets. 163 00:11:39.725 --> 00:11:43.110 Of course, themes are a great starting point for your site. 164 00:11:43.110 --> 00:11:48.569 So we're just trying to get your foot in get you, entered into a theme so you can start adding, 165 00:11:48.870 --> 00:11:49.750 your own touches. 166 00:11:49.750 --> 00:11:57.145 The goal of a theme is to have, you know, 75 to 90% of the site built for you, and you just plug and play to make it your own. 167 00:11:57.605 --> 00:12:02.105 Also, this one, is a big one. If you are migrating data to third party platforms 168 00:12:02.645 --> 00:12:03.145 regarding, 169 00:12:03.525 --> 00:12:07.705 related to webhooks and smart list, you'll soon be able to automatically 170 00:12:08.085 --> 00:12:09.705 schedule smart list syncing, 171 00:12:10.380 --> 00:12:14.380 to send out and trigger the webhook data to be sent to third party sources. 172 00:12:14.380 --> 00:12:15.600 So if you have a Smartlist, 173 00:12:16.140 --> 00:12:21.920 Smartlist are dynamic. So as new members enter into a Smartlist based on, filtered criteria, 174 00:12:22.765 --> 00:12:27.084 every hour or every day, you can send that data to the platform of your choice. 175 00:12:27.084 --> 00:12:28.464 And if there's a new entry, 176 00:12:29.005 --> 00:12:32.705 it will, add them or just reset the list entirely. 177 00:12:33.165 --> 00:12:36.210 Also BD is working on a help bot. We did, 178 00:12:36.770 --> 00:12:39.510 slip in a sneak preview in the Facebook group. 179 00:12:39.570 --> 00:12:45.650 This one will probably probably be released in the next few weeks, but I can show you a quick demo of it. 180 00:12:45.810 --> 00:12:48.930 There's still some training to do. Here, let's go to the dashboard. 181 00:12:48.930 --> 00:12:54.285 We can see this little icon here. You guys do not have this right now. Our team is testing it out, 182 00:12:54.665 --> 00:12:57.245 but soon you'll be able to click this and 183 00:12:57.865 --> 00:12:59.644 really it always prioritizes 184 00:13:00.024 --> 00:13:05.540 and thinks that you're asking questions related to BD, but you can ask it to do other things. 185 00:13:05.760 --> 00:13:06.900 This is ChatGPT. 186 00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:09.940 So this is a chatbot, 187 00:13:10.560 --> 00:13:14.420 powered by ChatGPT that you'll be able to have conversations with. 188 00:13:14.800 --> 00:13:20.985 There are some guardrails out there to make sure that, it's answering questions in line with brilliant directories. 189 00:13:20.985 --> 00:13:22.285 However, it can do 190 00:13:22.745 --> 00:13:26.425 other things for you. Let's do a quick example. Let's say you need, 191 00:13:27.545 --> 00:13:29.165 I need three email 192 00:13:29.545 --> 00:13:30.045 subject 193 00:13:30.585 --> 00:13:31.725 lines for 194 00:13:33.130 --> 00:13:34.190 for my lawyer, 195 00:13:34.970 --> 00:13:37.550 a directory to welcome new members. 196 00:13:38.090 --> 00:13:40.730 Let's see. So there you go. It's giving us content. 197 00:13:40.730 --> 00:13:43.950 So if you're working on your site in the admin area, you're, 198 00:13:44.795 --> 00:13:49.055 you're trying to come up with blog article ideas, creating static pages, 199 00:13:49.675 --> 00:13:52.255 writing emails, need marketing ideas, 200 00:13:52.795 --> 00:13:57.055 or just troubleshooting questions about the BD site, it will be able to answer 201 00:13:57.540 --> 00:13:59.140 basic questions and hopefully, 202 00:13:59.460 --> 00:14:03.800 more granular questions as well as it continues to get trained. So, 203 00:14:04.180 --> 00:14:08.200 we're working on this and probably realistically, what are we in? August, 204 00:14:08.740 --> 00:14:10.279 let's say two to three weeks, 205 00:14:11.285 --> 00:14:13.865 or sometime by closer to the September, 206 00:14:14.165 --> 00:14:15.125 this will be released. 207 00:14:15.125 --> 00:14:20.565 And I know this is gonna be really helpful because ChatGPT is not available in some countries right now. 208 00:14:20.565 --> 00:14:30.980 So this will be something that you can access to kind of chat with it and bounce ideas off of, for your BD site or whatever purpose you need, and it'll be available to all, BD users. 209 00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:34.800 And, yeah, along with that, I can say, thank you guys. 210 00:14:34.800 --> 00:14:41.380 A lot of the updates we push, most of them are from your support tickets that you create, your feature suggestions. 211 00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:44.235 So big shout out, to everyone out there. 212 00:14:44.375 --> 00:14:50.935 If you have any questions or comments about what you see on your screen right now, please feel free to raise your hand. 213 00:14:50.935 --> 00:14:54.475 We'd love some feedback. Definitely helps us out to improve things. 214 00:14:54.880 --> 00:14:56.660 Alright. We got Olga's hand up. 215 00:14:57.600 --> 00:14:59.220 Hi. How you doing? 216 00:15:00.160 --> 00:15:03.459 I just have a quick question about, member articles. 217 00:15:03.760 --> 00:15:09.855 They're going to upload a lot of very valuable articles, but as far as I understand, members can control them. 218 00:15:10.095 --> 00:15:16.355 So say, at some stage, they decide to change the content or remove it altogether, which I don't want to happen 219 00:15:16.735 --> 00:15:21.714 because, the arrangement is that we sort of own the article. It should stay with the website. 220 00:15:22.190 --> 00:15:24.529 So what's the way, to go about it? 221 00:15:24.910 --> 00:15:28.769 So you're posting articles on behalf of some members in their account? 222 00:15:29.870 --> 00:15:35.170 Is there any way that members can post those articles, but we can control that they never remove them? 223 00:15:35.630 --> 00:15:38.824 Sure. Actually, yes Yes. You can. 224 00:15:39.285 --> 00:15:45.225 I don't wanna get too deep into it, but I'll show you the, the quick way real quick. 225 00:15:46.084 --> 00:15:49.785 What you want is the add on for post moderation, 226 00:15:50.485 --> 00:15:51.865 advanced post moderation, 227 00:15:52.430 --> 00:15:56.370 and you remove the ability for the member to unpublish 228 00:15:57.230 --> 00:15:58.110 their own post. 229 00:15:58.110 --> 00:16:06.209 They cannot choose the publish or unpublished status, so they can create them, they can add them, but you, the admin, will control the post moderation. 230 00:16:06.350 --> 00:16:07.329 So if it remains, 231 00:16:08.295 --> 00:16:11.635 published or not. But it doesn't look at because I have the VIP, 232 00:16:12.175 --> 00:16:15.715 thing, you know. Yes. So so watch this video. 233 00:16:15.775 --> 00:16:18.415 But in addition to that, you're gonna wanna take it a step further. 234 00:16:18.415 --> 00:16:21.750 I'm gonna share this, so you can there's a video on that page. 235 00:16:21.910 --> 00:16:26.090 It talks about how you can set up the post moderation. Let me log in as a member here. 236 00:16:26.150 --> 00:16:27.450 There's one more consideration 237 00:16:28.230 --> 00:16:30.890 because I don't think and actually that's a good note. 238 00:16:31.990 --> 00:16:32.970 Post moderation 239 00:16:34.070 --> 00:16:34.570 control 240 00:16:35.430 --> 00:16:36.970 ability to delete 241 00:16:37.615 --> 00:16:41.335 a post. I don't think that exists. So what I'm gonna show you now is 242 00:16:41.775 --> 00:16:45.775 let me go to manage posts. Let me log in as a member who's posted something. 243 00:16:45.775 --> 00:16:49.075 I'll show you what you're gonna wanna do. Because see, it's very important. 244 00:16:50.160 --> 00:16:54.660 Sure. Yeah. If we kind of promote things and then all of a sudden the article disappears. 245 00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:57.940 Sure. Sure. Of course. Also but also, like, you know, 246 00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:03.045 you know, if the member doesn't want I mean, sure. If that's your if that's your model, that's fine. 247 00:17:03.125 --> 00:17:07.065 But under here, under actions, you're gonna wanna hide this delete button. 248 00:17:07.365 --> 00:17:07.684 So, 249 00:17:08.165 --> 00:17:17.810 you can edit this you can edit this or just hide it with CSS, but if you don't want them to edit or unpublish or delete a post, use the post moderation and also 250 00:17:18.190 --> 00:17:21.490 remove that delete button there. Alright. Okay. Okay? 251 00:17:21.869 --> 00:17:22.349 So, 252 00:17:22.750 --> 00:17:26.829 so that would be my best suggestions for you there. Okay? Well, thank you so much. Thank you. 253 00:17:26.829 --> 00:17:27.570 You're welcome. 254 00:17:28.275 --> 00:17:30.615 Alright.

How are you? 418 00:26:21.030 --> 00:26:21.850 Pretty good. 419 00:26:22.470 --> 00:26:25.110 I just had a couple of things that I'd like to, 420 00:26:25.910 --> 00:26:26.410 recommend. 421 00:26:27.430 --> 00:26:29.610 Sure. Like as, you know, I always do. 422 00:26:30.705 --> 00:26:36.225 So the first thing which is, like, really most important for me and my site, what I'm working on is, 423 00:26:36.865 --> 00:26:38.005 you know, how the sidebars 424 00:26:38.465 --> 00:26:42.325 for the top and the bottom for mobile view? Yes. 425 00:26:43.799 --> 00:26:47.260 Since you guys are adding all of these, like, extra things 426 00:26:47.720 --> 00:26:48.539 on the 427 00:26:48.919 --> 00:26:51.020 like, for the search results in the, 428 00:26:52.280 --> 00:26:53.640 static pages area 429 00:26:54.360 --> 00:26:54.860 Yes. 430 00:26:55.184 --> 00:26:57.424 That option is not available in there. 431 00:26:57.424 --> 00:27:01.924 And when you do the, like, member search results and stuff, it's showing up at the bottom. 432 00:27:02.384 --> 00:27:08.485 Gotcha. We have a project card, for that on the road map. So that one is on the list. 433 00:27:08.544 --> 00:27:12.509 That's a good one. And then, I think a great idea for, like, 434 00:27:12.889 --> 00:27:17.629 a new theme if you guys are still looking for one would be, like, maybe a dating site. 435 00:27:17.929 --> 00:27:21.049 I don't know if Or some, people connection site. 436 00:27:21.895 --> 00:27:25.434 Yeah. Sure. Dating slash person connection 437 00:27:26.054 --> 00:27:29.495 site. Cool. Theme idea. Yeah. We'll look into that. We'll definitely consider. 438 00:27:29.495 --> 00:27:32.875 We're also thinking of themes that are already made in other languages, 439 00:27:33.575 --> 00:27:37.335 or specific niches that popular niches that people wanna start out in. 440 00:27:37.335 --> 00:27:43.640 So, definitely will look in to see if that's a possibility as well as we go on this theme journey through the end of the year. 441 00:27:43.780 --> 00:27:45.480 And I got one more quick question. 442 00:27:46.260 --> 00:27:49.380 Do you think it'd be possible for post types if you could, 443 00:27:49.780 --> 00:27:53.275 do, like, the actual category in the URL somehow? 444 00:27:53.655 --> 00:27:57.515 That is on we wanna tokenize categories so you can have a few things. 445 00:27:58.775 --> 00:28:03.435 You can have a slug. It can be part of the slug, so it can rank better for SEO, 446 00:28:03.895 --> 00:28:05.095 and a few other things. 447 00:28:06.019 --> 00:28:06.759 For example, 448 00:28:07.139 --> 00:28:12.179 customizing the URL for a category, not just emulating what the the name of the category is. 449 00:28:12.179 --> 00:28:16.580 So, that one, we do have a project card for as well. Cool. Thank you. You're welcome. 450 00:28:16.580 --> 00:28:20.039 Thank you for the suggestions. Always good always good to hear from Brian. 451 00:28:20.665 --> 00:28:22.765 Alright.

It is been fun. How can we help you today? 462 00:28:53.345 --> 00:28:54.565 Yeah. I just started, 463 00:28:55.665 --> 00:28:59.205 with Brilliant Directories. I'm glad I found it. And 464 00:28:59.665 --> 00:29:00.165 I'm 465 00:29:00.705 --> 00:29:02.225 really curious because of, 466 00:29:03.025 --> 00:29:07.960 wanting to make a directory of professionals, which I I know that that's a big thing 467 00:29:08.260 --> 00:29:09.400 from a lot of your, 468 00:29:10.020 --> 00:29:11.080 a lot of your members. 469 00:29:11.700 --> 00:29:12.200 And 470 00:29:12.659 --> 00:29:15.720 my curiosity was if there's anything 471 00:29:16.419 --> 00:29:17.640 on your site 472 00:29:18.265 --> 00:29:26.044 that gives, like, a fast track to it because I'm very tech savvy, but there's a little bit of a learning curve, and I'm I'm all for it. 473 00:29:26.184 --> 00:29:29.645 I just wanted the quickest route and, you know, there's a specific 474 00:29:30.025 --> 00:29:33.145 I do have I do have the quickest route for for, 475 00:29:34.159 --> 00:29:36.100 just a moment. Let me find this here. 476 00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:43.779 For, like, just a minimal viable product, obviously, you can always continue evolving the site over time, but I do recommend this video. 477 00:29:44.159 --> 00:29:45.779 I'll share this in the chat here. 478 00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:50.395 It's a fifteen minute setup video. It basically gets you through, like, basic configuration 479 00:29:51.015 --> 00:29:55.174 and what you should add to your site so you can at least start marketing it. 480 00:29:55.174 --> 00:30:02.635 There are some gaps in it, again, because it's really just for minimal viable product just to get something online, but this would be a great starting point. 481 00:30:02.850 --> 00:30:05.669 And then in your admin area, there's some like technical configuration 482 00:30:05.970 --> 00:30:06.470 like, 483 00:30:06.850 --> 00:30:08.230 connecting your Google Maps. 484 00:30:08.690 --> 00:30:11.570 There's some instructions on that just so your search works properly. 485 00:30:11.570 --> 00:30:16.275 But between this video and those, that should be a great starting point to at least, 486 00:30:16.835 --> 00:30:19.475 allow you to start showing the site to your friends and family. 487 00:30:19.475 --> 00:30:22.535 And and then and then from there, you can start actually inviting people. 488 00:30:22.995 --> 00:30:26.035 Okay. Because, if you don't mind, another question was, 489 00:30:26.515 --> 00:30:27.815 through, you know, recommendation. 490 00:30:28.195 --> 00:30:30.615 I always feel like when something is a startup, 491 00:30:31.080 --> 00:30:35.260 you're getting it together you're getting it you know out there in the world do you 492 00:30:36.279 --> 00:30:43.419 you know share or recommend or guide you know like having a site that's open and free at first and then 493 00:30:43.720 --> 00:30:45.980 you know charging for membership or 494 00:30:46.475 --> 00:30:48.415 just from the get go? 495 00:30:48.715 --> 00:30:48.955 Sure. 496 00:30:48.955 --> 00:30:55.295 So if you're gonna start charging, you're gonna want some more things in place because you have to give people, like, a reason and purpose to join. 497 00:30:55.355 --> 00:30:58.095 A lot of that could be solved by a strong mission page. 498 00:30:59.070 --> 00:31:04.610 You should probably wanna populate your site with a few founding members yourself, whether you add them or invite them yourself. 499 00:31:05.390 --> 00:31:06.130 You know, 500 00:31:07.070 --> 00:31:13.895 and then you want this site to already be whether it's a direct it sounds like you're doing a directory of professionals, but it needs to be, 501 00:31:14.355 --> 00:31:16.535 seem established.

I want to remove, 523 00:32:27.560 --> 00:32:28.860 the start date 524 00:32:29.320 --> 00:32:34.095 Okay. On what's your yeah. I'll be happy to help you. Would you mind showing your site? Yep. 525 00:32:34.095 --> 00:32:36.195 That's mynewjob.nzed. 526 00:32:36.575 --> 00:32:38.835 Alright. Let's take a look together. Just a moment. 527 00:32:39.695 --> 00:32:40.434 The the 528 00:32:40.735 --> 00:32:48.030 page I'm mucking around with is jobs new as it's not the existing jobs page. I've created a new one. 529 00:32:48.350 --> 00:32:51.410 Jobs new. So let's go to the, post 530 00:32:51.790 --> 00:32:54.450 settings and look for jobs new together. 531 00:32:55.070 --> 00:32:59.950 This one here. Let's go to see what the search results page looks like. Okay. 532 00:32:59.950 --> 00:33:03.495 So you want to hide hide this posted date? 533 00:33:04.035 --> 00:33:06.775 No. I want I want to hide the start date. 534 00:33:07.235 --> 00:33:08.455 Gotcha. Okay. 535 00:33:08.915 --> 00:33:10.215 So let me see here. 536 00:33:10.995 --> 00:33:14.855 What we can do is, we can hide it or we can just remove it altogether. 537 00:33:15.155 --> 00:33:19.662 Which would you prefer? And And you can always restore the code if you ever need to as well. 538 00:33:19.662 --> 00:33:23.340 Remove it altogether. Okay. Great. What we can do this is a good example. 539 00:33:23.340 --> 00:33:33.335 Not everyone needs to do this, but, if you're looking to edit some of the templates such as what you see in the search results, you can come here and get the header and here's the loop. 540 00:33:33.554 --> 00:33:35.095 And if we do a search here, 541 00:33:35.715 --> 00:33:36.855 let me find this. 542 00:33:37.554 --> 00:33:38.455 Just a moment. 543 00:33:38.914 --> 00:33:41.654 So my question with that though is when, someone's 544 00:33:42.120 --> 00:33:48.780 adding a job listing, it's still gonna show a field there or can you hide that field so they don't enter it? 545 00:33:49.880 --> 00:33:54.040 You can actually hide it so they don't enter it as as well. Here's the start date. 546 00:33:54.040 --> 00:33:56.924 We're just gonna remove this from the area here. 547 00:33:57.164 --> 00:34:02.785 You want would you can also edit the form to remove the start date field from ever even being inputted by, 548 00:34:03.645 --> 00:34:04.225 the user. 549 00:34:04.845 --> 00:34:06.705 Is that something you wanna do as well? 550 00:34:06.765 --> 00:34:11.090 You can hide it to start it and then decide if you want it back later. Yep. Yep. 551 00:34:11.090 --> 00:34:13.489 I do, but I can probably figure that bit out myself. 552 00:34:13.489 --> 00:34:16.310 The next question I've got is when you click to view more, 553 00:34:17.969 --> 00:34:21.750 and I'm not sure how to do this. See how it's got that new n zed 50,000? 554 00:34:22.645 --> 00:34:28.345 Yes. What I what I wanna replace in there is a free text field so that they can put 555 00:34:29.045 --> 00:34:30.345 AU for Australia 556 00:34:30.965 --> 00:34:34.985 and then have the choice to be able to type an hourly rate or an annual salary. 557 00:34:35.045 --> 00:34:37.385 So make it more of a free text field. 558 00:34:37.770 --> 00:34:38.670 Is that possible? 559 00:34:39.530 --> 00:34:39.850 Yeah. 560 00:34:39.850 --> 00:34:44.989 So what you can do instead is I'm not going to do it on your site, but I'll show you where you can do it. 561 00:34:45.210 --> 00:34:48.750 Yep. What I would recommend is go to your form manager 562 00:34:49.290 --> 00:34:49.784 Mhmm. 563 00:34:50.141 --> 00:34:54.061 And go to jobs. Is this the job seekers one or 564 00:34:54.774 --> 00:34:58.693 not. No. Okay. Not. It would be the default one. Yeah. 565 00:34:58.693 --> 00:35:02.970 So we're gonna customize the default one, and we're gonna look for, 566 00:35:03.770 --> 00:35:08.030 promo or price. Let me see which one it is here. Let's excuse me. 567 00:35:08.970 --> 00:35:11.130 Okay. This is the the pro so post promo. 568 00:35:11.130 --> 00:35:16.090 And then what you wanna do is change it from the field type from price field and just change it to, 569 00:35:17.135 --> 00:35:19.954 I I wouldn't do a multiline. I would do a single line, 570 00:35:20.895 --> 00:35:22.915 just so they could put it. And then also 571 00:35:23.295 --> 00:35:24.335 so I would change that. 572 00:35:24.335 --> 00:35:29.474 I'm not gonna do it on your site, but change that to single line and then toggle open this cog 573 00:35:29.970 --> 00:35:32.230 and adds both some help text 574 00:35:32.530 --> 00:35:33.430 such as, 575 00:35:34.770 --> 00:35:35.270 write, 576 00:35:35.730 --> 00:35:38.310 you know, like a brief Yeah. Compensation 577 00:35:38.850 --> 00:35:39.910 or compensation, 578 00:35:40.369 --> 00:35:41.250 whatever it is. 579 00:35:41.250 --> 00:35:45.775 And even put, like, in the placeholder, you can do, like, example and then say, like, 580 00:35:47.994 --> 00:35:49.935 AU AU $2,500 581 00:35:50.155 --> 00:35:53.435 per hour or something like that Yep. Or per salary per year. 582 00:35:53.435 --> 00:35:59.089 So add placeholder text and help text, and that will guide the user to know what they should be entering in here. 583 00:35:59.309 --> 00:36:02.609 And I will take it one step further for you because, 584 00:36:03.150 --> 00:36:06.029 you know, in the UI here, there there is a limited amount of space. 585 00:36:06.029 --> 00:36:10.785 You don't want them to enter, for example, this much text up here. Yeah. Sure. So Yep. 586 00:36:11.025 --> 00:36:14.164 You can test it out, but under actions, go to validation 587 00:36:14.464 --> 00:36:14.964 options 588 00:36:15.664 --> 00:36:19.204 and turn validation on and set a, 589 00:36:19.664 --> 00:36:20.645 max character, 590 00:36:21.424 --> 00:36:26.405 limit here. Max, you can do zero and maybe set it to maybe a hundred. 591 00:36:26.970 --> 00:36:27.290 Okay. 592 00:36:27.290 --> 00:36:35.550 And that way they can't write more than a hundred characters here and that will also force them to be more careful about their choice of words that they're entering here as well. 593 00:36:35.690 --> 00:36:36.190 Okay. 594 00:36:36.570 --> 00:36:38.190 Is this webinar recorded? 595 00:36:38.825 --> 00:36:43.145 This webinar is recorded. The replay will be available in the Facebook group shortly after. 596 00:36:43.145 --> 00:36:46.985 So I know I went a little quick, but this should be enough to get yeah. 597 00:36:46.985 --> 00:36:51.485 This should be enough to to this if you watch this again, and if you save your changes, 598 00:36:51.990 --> 00:36:54.890 that should be enough to kind of make it an open field 599 00:36:55.750 --> 00:37:00.710 and, limit it so they can't put, you know, infinite number of characters there. Excellent. Okay. 600 00:37:00.710 --> 00:37:03.930 Thank you so much. You're welcome, Karen. Good job. Bye. 601 00:37:04.855 --> 00:37:07.015 Good stuff there.

Would love to. What's the name of your site? 612 00:37:47.025 --> 00:37:49.045 Boardcertified.com. 613 00:37:49.460 --> 00:37:51.799 That's right. Alright. Let's take a look together. 614 00:37:52.180 --> 00:37:58.279 Now let me just ask a general question. How is the site performing for you? Are you satisfied with, 615 00:37:58.579 --> 00:38:03.625 how users are interacting with the site, signing up to the site? Do you notice any obvious, 616 00:38:04.085 --> 00:38:05.945 issues that you're looking to remedy? 617 00:38:06.325 --> 00:38:09.925 Well, we restrict people from signing up in the typical way. 618 00:38:09.925 --> 00:38:12.345 Now this is one of five sites that I have. 619 00:38:12.565 --> 00:38:18.380 So the others are more normal, more directory based, and this is a directory based site as well. 620 00:38:18.599 --> 00:38:18.920 But, 621 00:38:19.880 --> 00:38:20.859 we try and, 622 00:38:21.800 --> 00:38:24.859 keep the integrity of the site because it is all physicians. 623 00:38:24.920 --> 00:38:31.165 They're all board certified physicians on this site, and the vast majority of them are mem well, no. 624 00:38:31.165 --> 00:38:33.665 I shouldn't say that. There's 400,000 625 00:38:34.444 --> 00:38:34.944 members. 626 00:38:35.805 --> 00:38:37.964 I have about 27,000 627 00:38:38.365 --> 00:38:39.905 I'm sorry. 400,000, 628 00:38:40.924 --> 00:38:44.250 leads in here, names and addresses and telephone numbers. We have 629 00:38:44.650 --> 00:38:45.950 26,000 630 00:38:46.090 --> 00:38:47.450 or 27,000 631 00:38:47.450 --> 00:38:47.950 members, 632 00:38:48.410 --> 00:38:53.390 and all those members pay us off-site. In other words, they send us, 633 00:38:54.250 --> 00:38:58.990 annual checks. Annually, they send us checks. So we've we set this one up a little differently. 634 00:38:59.895 --> 00:39:03.435 Is it a great site? Yeah. We're getting a lot of traffic. We get 635 00:39:03.735 --> 00:39:06.555 tremendous feedback from the medical community, 636 00:39:07.255 --> 00:39:07.575 and, 637 00:39:08.215 --> 00:39:13.115 certainly with plastic surgeons and aesthetic practitioners as our primary target. 638 00:39:13.730 --> 00:39:14.230 Okay. 639 00:39:15.250 --> 00:39:19.170 There's one hard and fast rule. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Okay. 640 00:39:19.410 --> 00:39:22.549 And obviously, we don't wanna make any drastic changes. 641 00:39:23.410 --> 00:39:26.385 Just looking at it off the bat, I think the site, 642 00:39:27.105 --> 00:39:28.725 seems professional and credible. 643 00:39:29.265 --> 00:39:31.345 The font families you've chosen are good. 644 00:39:31.665 --> 00:39:37.505 You're using you're not overusing bold on this site, which helps keep it calm and, and, 645 00:39:37.985 --> 00:39:44.030 a good calm demeanor, which which is kinda what you want on a site related to medical and doctors and things like that. 646 00:39:44.810 --> 00:39:50.970 I like that you have a limited menu option. I can fix this for you so it's on the same line here, 647 00:39:51.530 --> 00:39:53.310 unless you meant for that to be, 648 00:39:53.975 --> 00:39:55.895 pushed down because the resources 649 00:39:56.775 --> 00:39:59.575 can you see my screen? I'm sorry. I can. I can. Yeah. 650 00:39:59.575 --> 00:40:02.375 And I would love it if you could fix that for me. That would be Yeah. 651 00:40:02.375 --> 00:40:04.455 That's a that's a simple fix here. 652 00:40:04.855 --> 00:40:06.715 Let me just quickly check that out. 653 00:40:07.200 --> 00:40:08.420 Let me just do this. 654 00:40:09.680 --> 00:40:11.700 Your homepage is good. It's not overcrowded. 655 00:40:13.359 --> 00:40:15.220 That's the header main menu. 656 00:40:15.680 --> 00:40:20.560 Let's go back here. Let's go back at your homepage real quick. The call to actions are clear. 657 00:40:20.560 --> 00:40:22.095 You have your search box here. 658 00:40:22.175 --> 00:40:29.695 The it's important that the search box is there like that in this case because it lets the doctors know that they are meant to be found on your website. 659 00:40:29.695 --> 00:40:33.555 That is the primary purpose of the site. The second purpose is physician 660 00:40:33.935 --> 00:40:34.675 sign up. 661 00:40:35.940 --> 00:40:45.400 And just scrolling down here, you have good information for your two target markets that you the marketplace you've created, the patients on one side and the physicians on the other. 662 00:40:45.460 --> 00:40:50.440 So it's very clear who your audience is supposed to be and who belongs on your website searching. 663 00:40:51.435 --> 00:40:56.095 And then everything else looks, pretty reputable because, again, the the colors that you've selected. 664 00:40:57.515 --> 00:40:59.935 Again, good use of the streaming widgets. 665 00:41:00.555 --> 00:41:05.390 You have your you have happy faces here. This is good. It shows that there's live activity. 666 00:41:05.450 --> 00:41:06.590 Again, not overusing, 667 00:41:07.290 --> 00:41:08.750 streaming widgets on the homepage. 668 00:41:09.050 --> 00:41:15.070 And then you have some star ratings, which again adds the credibility not only of the site, but to the members of the site, 669 00:41:15.474 --> 00:41:16.055 as well. 670 00:41:16.595 --> 00:41:20.615 And then we have some ancillary information here, quick links to categories. 671 00:41:21.155 --> 00:41:21.895 And then, 672 00:41:22.355 --> 00:41:27.655 this is good for actually, SEO is linking to your most recent blogs here on the homepage, 673 00:41:28.310 --> 00:41:33.290 or just selected blogs that you've chosen, that provide the best experience for users, 674 00:41:33.670 --> 00:41:36.890 who are just visiting your site for the first time. 675 00:41:37.510 --> 00:41:38.250 So actually, 676 00:41:38.870 --> 00:41:42.890 I don't have really any notes that could make it better or worse just to 677 00:41:43.205 --> 00:41:46.905 put this little arrow on that on that same line there for now. Awesome. 678 00:41:47.365 --> 00:41:51.225 Alright. Let me, check this out here. I think we're just gonna do 679 00:41:52.805 --> 00:41:53.305 equals, 680 00:41:54.725 --> 00:41:56.960 white space. This is, 681 00:41:58.060 --> 00:41:58.720 no wrap. 682 00:41:59.820 --> 00:42:00.320 And, 683 00:42:00.940 --> 00:42:05.359 all right, let me just add this one line and see if that fixes that. 684 00:42:05.660 --> 00:42:06.880 And that should actually 685 00:42:07.580 --> 00:42:12.805 let's see here. There we go. And it actually I think that's what it's meant to look like. Yeah. 686 00:42:12.805 --> 00:42:16.085 That looks good. And two other things. Number one, it's, 687 00:42:16.805 --> 00:42:22.025 something you did recently. It's it sped it up. It's it definitely did speed up my site. 688 00:42:22.410 --> 00:42:23.150 That's nice. 689 00:42:23.450 --> 00:42:25.530 You know, in terms of analysis, we look at it. 690 00:42:25.530 --> 00:42:28.349 So when we do a search, it's coming up a little quicker. 691 00:42:28.569 --> 00:42:32.670 Even though it was pretty quick to begin with, especially with over 400,000, 692 00:42:33.049 --> 00:42:36.589 you know, listings in there, it's it's hitting pretty good. 693 00:42:36.855 --> 00:42:44.875 And the second thing is, you know, I I used to use another directory site that I literally spent a couple hundred thousand bucks on going through. 694 00:42:45.095 --> 00:42:49.980 Oh, wow. This thing is light this thing is lightning better, heads above 695 00:42:50.380 --> 00:42:54.460 shoulders of any other piece of crap I used out there. So, yeah, I appreciate it. 696 00:42:54.460 --> 00:42:59.820 I thank you very much. It's, it's working out really well for us. Glad to hear that. Thank you. 697 00:43:00.619 --> 00:43:04.455 Well, yeah, it looks good. Again, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, And, 698 00:43:05.175 --> 00:43:06.215 I'm glad we could get that. 699 00:43:06.215 --> 00:43:10.715 And if you wanna join us again and give us another progress report, we'd love to love to have you. 700 00:43:10.855 --> 00:43:14.535 Great. I appreciate it. Thanks again. You're welcome. Thank you. Alright. 701 00:43:14.535 --> 00:43:18.295 Good stuff there from Steven. And let's see here. I see some hands up here. 702 00:43:18.295 --> 00:43:21.569 I'm not sure if we called Kim. Did we call on you already, Kim? Yes. 703 00:43:21.569 --> 00:43:25.109 But so the gentleman who had the physician directory, 704 00:43:25.730 --> 00:43:29.270 and, he indicated that he was, getting money off-site, 705 00:43:30.450 --> 00:43:31.190 that triggered, 706 00:43:32.035 --> 00:43:35.415 let's say, a flexible question on my end. Please. 707 00:43:36.035 --> 00:43:36.855 My site, 708 00:43:37.155 --> 00:43:39.095 I started about a month ago, 709 00:43:39.475 --> 00:43:41.175 and I have two enrollments 710 00:43:41.715 --> 00:43:44.935 or three. The first one I did off-site, 711 00:43:45.470 --> 00:43:48.589 and I was wondering if there's a way to reflect that, 712 00:43:49.150 --> 00:43:50.769 incoming money on, 713 00:43:52.029 --> 00:43:52.529 the, 714 00:43:52.829 --> 00:43:54.529 I guess, the finance page. 715 00:43:54.910 --> 00:43:55.970 Yes. There is. 716 00:43:56.510 --> 00:43:59.089 Let's let's ask the chatbot together, 717 00:44:00.555 --> 00:44:01.694 how to accept, 718 00:44:02.555 --> 00:44:03.775 manual or 719 00:44:04.315 --> 00:44:06.635 off-site payments. I know where this is in the, 720 00:44:07.435 --> 00:44:10.795 in our documentation. I just wanna see how the chatbot is going to do this. 721 00:44:11.035 --> 00:44:14.710 I also misspelled it, and that probably is going to thing it. 722 00:44:14.710 --> 00:44:18.490 While that's doing it, let me, let me go to the brilliant directory's, 723 00:44:19.109 --> 00:44:20.009 search portal, 724 00:44:20.470 --> 00:44:20.970 and, 725 00:44:22.470 --> 00:44:22.970 Mark 726 00:44:23.430 --> 00:44:24.329 has paid. 727 00:44:24.645 --> 00:44:25.545 Let's see here. 728 00:44:26.725 --> 00:44:30.325 Manual billing management. Here we go. So there's a few things. 729 00:44:30.565 --> 00:44:37.705 You can start the subscription for someone even if they don't have a credit card on file, and the system will start generating invoices that are due. 730 00:44:38.245 --> 00:44:38.745 However, 731 00:44:39.170 --> 00:44:41.590 there's no credit card on file, so it's obviously, 732 00:44:43.010 --> 00:44:45.670 they're they're not successful transactions. However, 733 00:44:46.130 --> 00:44:50.290 you can manually mark them as paid. So I'm gonna share two articles with you. 734 00:44:50.290 --> 00:44:55.704 This is one, manual billing management. It gives you some tips and tricks on how to manage this. 735 00:44:55.704 --> 00:45:07.885 And it's very common that people are not doing their payments on their brilliant directory site because they have other business entities set up and then they just, you know, make sure that they keep the profiles up to date on their BD site. 736 00:45:08.160 --> 00:45:10.740 The next one is mark as paid. 737 00:45:11.760 --> 00:45:13.780 Let me find this next one. 738 00:45:14.240 --> 00:45:17.940 Here we go. Let me see what the chatbot said. Let me do, 739 00:45:18.880 --> 00:45:20.099 how to mark 740 00:45:20.799 --> 00:45:22.500 invoice as paid. 741 00:45:22.905 --> 00:45:26.345 Let's see if it gives it okay. There we go. Log in actions. 742 00:45:26.345 --> 00:45:30.665 Mark actually, these are the correct results, and it gave us how to manage invoices. 743 00:45:30.665 --> 00:45:33.705 Is this a correct link? No. So you can go to, 744 00:45:35.380 --> 00:45:36.840 go to the link that I shared. 745 00:45:37.300 --> 00:45:39.220 And also when when, 746 00:45:39.619 --> 00:45:43.560 when you have somebody who's past due or upcoming because there's no card on file, 747 00:45:44.020 --> 00:45:46.200 you can come here to the past due section, 748 00:45:46.820 --> 00:45:47.320 and 749 00:45:47.825 --> 00:45:50.005 you can come here and mark as paid. 750 00:45:50.145 --> 00:45:55.445 So you can manually set this as paid, and you can even leave a note here and you can say, 751 00:45:55.745 --> 00:45:56.385 you know, 752 00:45:57.025 --> 00:46:00.810 why is that toggling up and down? Well, that's a little demo thing there. 753 00:46:00.810 --> 00:46:05.630 But you can add a note here and say how they paid, whether it's a check or maybe a PayPal transaction 754 00:46:05.930 --> 00:46:10.570 or what what have you. So you can leave a note about why you manually mark this as paid. 755 00:46:10.730 --> 00:46:14.510 This is a demo site. We can just go ahead and do it. So mark as paid, 756 00:46:14.895 --> 00:46:15.395 and 757 00:46:15.695 --> 00:46:16.835 they will be moved, 758 00:46:17.215 --> 00:46:22.835 generate and then it asks you if you wanna generate the next invoice for them, if you wanna continue the billing for them, 759 00:46:23.215 --> 00:46:25.155 next invoice generated. So, 760 00:46:25.775 --> 00:46:32.460 those are the methods to do it, if you want to also track off-site payments in your Brilliant Directories database. 761 00:46:32.599 --> 00:46:38.140 I know that was a mouthful and I was scattering around, but, it is in the documentation there in that article that I shared. 762 00:46:38.279 --> 00:46:41.980 K. So real quick before you go. Sure. So, 763 00:46:42.595 --> 00:46:45.415 on the screen, I'm seeing Thomas as a customer. 764 00:46:45.955 --> 00:46:47.815 And let's say on this screen, 765 00:46:48.275 --> 00:46:49.735 because it was manual, 766 00:46:50.195 --> 00:46:54.695 the amount is zero, but I want it now to reflect the $2.99 767 00:46:54.915 --> 00:46:55.655 99. 768 00:46:56.120 --> 00:46:56.280 Sure. 769 00:46:56.280 --> 00:47:01.880 So what we're gonna wanna do is we're gonna we're gonna we wanna start a subscription for the member first. 770 00:47:01.880 --> 00:47:05.260 So let me show you let let me let's backtrack a little bit. So 771 00:47:05.640 --> 00:47:08.140 there we go. So what you can do here 772 00:47:08.680 --> 00:47:09.580 is when 773 00:47:09.924 --> 00:47:16.164 when let's say something was refunded but then they ended up paying again, so you can come here and you can mark it as paid. 774 00:47:16.164 --> 00:47:18.585 But what you can do is you wanna start the subscription 775 00:47:18.885 --> 00:47:20.025 for the person. 776 00:47:20.404 --> 00:47:25.910 So when you come here, you can go to their the member's transaction info and click on new order, 777 00:47:26.370 --> 00:47:29.990 basically creating a new subscription for them. Choose the membership plan. 778 00:47:30.050 --> 00:47:32.710 Now they don't they shouldn't have a credit card on file, 779 00:47:33.090 --> 00:47:36.630 but they're they're a premium member at $20 monthly, 780 00:47:37.164 --> 00:47:39.424 and you can go ahead and start that. 781 00:47:39.565 --> 00:47:44.384 So this person doesn't have a credit card on file, but we're starting them at $20 per month. 782 00:47:44.444 --> 00:47:47.585 So let that process. And if we go back to their transactions 783 00:47:48.365 --> 00:47:53.100 well, this person does have a credit card on file, but it would be let me do mark as unpaid. 784 00:47:53.400 --> 00:47:58.760 So let's set that as you can also set things as unpaid as well, so in case there something happens. 785 00:47:58.760 --> 00:48:00.220 So let's refresh this, 786 00:48:00.840 --> 00:48:04.380 and it's not working as I want it right now. However, 787 00:48:04.685 --> 00:48:07.585 you start the subscription form and then it creates the invoices. 788 00:48:07.645 --> 00:48:11.984 The invoices will never be paid through the system because there's no credit card on file. 789 00:48:12.285 --> 00:48:19.025 So when you see the invoice in the upcoming or past due columns tabs, you can then mark them as paid 790 00:48:19.390 --> 00:48:20.830 and leave a note if you want. 791 00:48:20.830 --> 00:48:24.530 And that will and then the it'll just continue creating invoices monthly. 792 00:48:24.670 --> 00:48:29.650 And every time they pay you, you can come in and mark it as paid, and you can also see who's still unpaid. 793 00:48:29.950 --> 00:48:34.275 You with me there, Kim? Alright. Kim went on mute. No worries. It was a mouthful there. 794 00:48:34.674 --> 00:48:35.174 However, 795 00:48:36.115 --> 00:48:38.295 that's basically how you can do it. 796 00:48:38.595 --> 00:48:43.494 So start the subscription with a new order. Invoices will be generated monthly, annually, etcetera. 797 00:48:43.555 --> 00:48:49.414 They will obviously be unpaid with no credit card on file, and then you can manually mark them as paid or unpaid. 798 00:48:49.950 --> 00:48:55.310 Alright. Let's keep things moving along here. And we got one more question from April here. 799 00:48:55.310 --> 00:48:56.369 How are you doing, April? 800 00:48:56.670 --> 00:48:59.730 Oh, can you hear me? Can hear you fine. Yes. 801 00:49:00.190 --> 00:49:03.570 Okay. Great. Okay. So thanks for for my third question. 802 00:49:04.925 --> 00:49:08.945 As I said, I'm creating a site for my colleagues and, like, fellow professionals, 803 00:49:09.645 --> 00:49:12.465 but I also teach professional development 804 00:49:13.245 --> 00:49:14.785 to these same professionals 805 00:49:15.085 --> 00:49:16.385 of a very specific 806 00:49:16.685 --> 00:49:17.185 topic. 807 00:49:17.645 --> 00:49:19.505 And I'd like to create 808 00:49:20.100 --> 00:49:22.200 one day an additional directory, 809 00:49:23.460 --> 00:49:24.760 for those 810 00:49:25.140 --> 00:49:28.040 professionals who teach the specific topic as well. 811 00:49:28.340 --> 00:49:34.905 And this may be a mouthful, but is it possible that one site's members, you know, like, upon selecting that, 812 00:49:35.385 --> 00:49:35.885 they 813 00:49:36.585 --> 00:49:37.085 have, 814 00:49:38.025 --> 00:49:45.405 their they have a specific category or subcategory of specialty or perhaps, like, premium membership versus a premium plus membership 815 00:49:45.705 --> 00:49:49.805 that they could feed into Yes. Another directory site? 816 00:49:50.170 --> 00:49:54.110 Yes. So that you will do two yeah. You're gonna do two things, 817 00:49:54.570 --> 00:49:55.290 with that. 818 00:49:55.290 --> 00:50:02.025 What you're gonna do is in developer hub, you're gonna wanna utilize a tool called webhooks, and we have a video on this. 819 00:50:02.505 --> 00:50:07.645 And what you will do is webhook basically sends data out from your website. 820 00:50:08.105 --> 00:50:10.845 So every time a member signs up or 821 00:50:11.305 --> 00:50:16.204 they fill out, like, their contact and they they join your site and then they choose their categories, etcetera. 822 00:50:17.480 --> 00:50:22.599 Let me see here. You can create a webhook and I'll share a link with a video on this. 823 00:50:22.599 --> 00:50:26.359 It might be a little early for it, but, you can basically send the data out. 824 00:50:26.359 --> 00:50:28.220 There's a few ways through smart lists, 825 00:50:29.575 --> 00:50:32.715 through member sign ups when they sign up to the free plan 826 00:50:33.015 --> 00:50:34.315 or the paid plan. 827 00:50:35.255 --> 00:50:36.875 And if you're interested in 828 00:50:37.415 --> 00:50:42.715 gathering more information upfront so it gets sent, you can do that. So you would do the paid plan, 829 00:50:43.175 --> 00:50:43.830 sign up. 830 00:50:43.910 --> 00:50:51.210 So anytime someone fill signs up or creates data on your site through one of these methods, you can send it out from your site. 831 00:50:51.350 --> 00:50:56.490 And then the flip side of that is you would use a tool such as Zapier, 832 00:50:57.265 --> 00:51:03.125 and you would then create a new member on your alternate website using that data. 833 00:51:04.145 --> 00:51:08.085 So let me share one video here from our blog, 834 00:51:08.465 --> 00:51:10.430 and I'll just gonna choose one of these. 835 00:51:10.430 --> 00:51:13.809 This shows you how to, like, create members on your site using Leadpages. 836 00:51:14.270 --> 00:51:22.750 But imagine if you're creating members using the webhook functionality, this this walks you through the finished product of how to create the member on the alternate website. 837 00:51:22.750 --> 00:51:24.529 So I'm gonna drop this link here. 838 00:51:24.915 --> 00:51:25.415 And 839 00:51:25.795 --> 00:51:32.755 with web hooking out data from one BD site and then creating a member on your other BD site, that is totally possible. 840 00:51:32.755 --> 00:51:34.695 It just requires a little bit of configuration. 841 00:51:35.155 --> 00:51:35.655 Okay. 842 00:51:36.115 --> 00:51:39.975 Very fun. Thank you. Because that would solve my five year plan. 843 00:51:40.780 --> 00:51:44.320 Yeah. Which hopefully now will be two instead. So great.
