WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.000
Welcome everyone. We have an international audience.

2
00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:07.060
Some people from Australia, The UK, around The States, Canada. Great to see everybody here.

3
00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:09.519
If this is your first time joining us, welcome.

4
00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:13.219
I am Jason there on the left and we are lucky to be joined always

5
00:00:13.585 --> 00:00:15.605
by the one and only David Rocklin.

6
00:00:15.745 --> 00:00:19.345
David, thank you for taking the time to join us here in the webinar. Hey, everybody.

7
00:00:19.345 --> 00:00:23.265
Glad to be back with you for another webinar as we approach the end of the year here.

8
00:00:23.265 --> 00:00:27.510
Really looking forward to, some of the updates that we've got to share with you all today. Yeah.

9
00:00:27.510 --> 00:00:34.810
Today's gonna be lots of updates to share and a few items that are coming soon, so we look forward, to getting through all those today.

10
00:00:35.030 --> 00:00:38.650
And also good news, we are streaming on YouTube live.

11
00:00:38.790 --> 00:00:42.650
So for those of you joining us on YouTube, hello. Hope you're doing well.

12
00:00:42.975 --> 00:00:48.915
One of the benefits of streaming on YouTube live is the replay will be immediately available after the webinar.

13
00:00:49.135 --> 00:00:54.255
And if you're not subscribed to the Brilliant Directories YouTube channel, we definitely encourage you to do do so.

14
00:00:54.255 --> 00:00:57.989
You can go to brilliantdirectories.com/youtube

15
00:00:57.989 --> 00:01:00.329
and just click on that red subscribe button.

16
00:01:00.390 --> 00:01:03.770
It's a great way to stay updated with our newest videos, tutorials,

17
00:01:04.310 --> 00:01:07.610
the webinar replays, tips of the week, and tons more.

18
00:01:08.390 --> 00:01:13.635
And alongside with that, as I mentioned, the replay will be available in the Brilliant Directories Facebook group.

19
00:01:13.635 --> 00:01:18.835
If you're not a member there, all are welcome. You can go to brilliantdirectories.com/facebook

20
00:01:18.835 --> 00:01:20.775
and click on that blue join button.

21
00:01:21.315 --> 00:01:22.135
Really constructive

22
00:01:22.619 --> 00:01:26.320
discussions happening in there. A lot of people are busy working on their sites,

23
00:01:26.700 --> 00:01:27.759
asking for help,

24
00:01:28.060 --> 00:01:29.200
giving suggestions

25
00:01:29.500 --> 00:01:34.395
on how to find workarounds or strategies on how to grow their community. I'm in there as well. It's

26
00:01:35.115 --> 00:01:40.174
It's a great way to communicate and learn from fellow BDers, so we certainly invite you to join us there.

27
00:01:40.554 --> 00:01:44.575
Alright. And let's dive right into the BD lab updates.

28
00:01:44.715 --> 00:01:52.600
There were quite a few, but we've kind of cherry picked some of the best ones that probably will be the most noteworthy to share with you.

29
00:01:52.900 --> 00:01:57.160
One of these is a repeat. Just wanted to mention to everyone that this is now a feature.

30
00:01:57.380 --> 00:01:59.445
We'll start here right at the top.

31
00:02:00.085 --> 00:02:05.545
More recently, we introduced the ability to select stock photos in the admin area

32
00:02:05.845 --> 00:02:07.145
available to everyone.

33
00:02:07.765 --> 00:02:14.650
We have the Pexels stock photo library, the Pixabay stock photo library, and now the very fun Giphy photo library.

34
00:02:14.650 --> 00:02:17.150
The Giphy one is the one where you can kind of send,

35
00:02:17.610 --> 00:02:21.150
funny animated GIFs, to your friends. You do it on your smartphone.

36
00:02:21.370 --> 00:02:26.830
You can include them on your web pages and in your emails now from within the admin area.

37
00:02:27.005 --> 00:02:32.685
We released a secondary add on to complement this for the front end when you're creating your posts.

38
00:02:32.685 --> 00:02:41.025
And now with that, you have access to this third stock photo library, Giphy, and let me quickly show you how you can access that.

39
00:02:41.630 --> 00:02:43.550
Let's go to the admin area here.

40
00:02:43.550 --> 00:02:52.190
Well, actually, this will be on the front end, and I'll just show you how it works first and how you can enable it when you have the add on for the front end version of this.

41
00:02:52.190 --> 00:02:56.130
So, let's just quickly add a post here, the community article,

42
00:02:56.825 --> 00:02:59.085
And if we come down to the,

43
00:02:59.705 --> 00:03:01.005
text editor here,

44
00:03:01.385 --> 00:03:05.865
when you have this enabled, you'll see this library icon here. I'll go ahead and click that.

45
00:03:05.865 --> 00:03:07.725
And when you have this library icon,

46
00:03:08.025 --> 00:03:09.405
let's just search for dog.

47
00:03:09.900 --> 00:03:17.260
This is searching the Pexels library, millions of photos there, and then you now have a drop down with additional libraries here.

48
00:03:17.260 --> 00:03:19.440
So the new one we've introduced is Giphy.

49
00:03:19.500 --> 00:03:23.920
There is one more we're going to introduce in the next couple weeks. It's called Unsplash.

50
00:03:24.345 --> 00:03:27.245
That'll give BD users access to over 10,000,000,

51
00:03:27.785 --> 00:03:28.685
stock photos.

52
00:03:29.065 --> 00:03:32.205
But the fun one here, let me just close this and reopen it here.

53
00:03:32.345 --> 00:03:36.445
We'll go back to library and let's search for let's search for Snoop Dogg.

54
00:03:36.985 --> 00:03:39.885
So this is from Pexels, but we can toggle Giphy

55
00:03:40.530 --> 00:03:47.430
and we can see here we have some fun, kind of memes and GIFs from Snoop Dogg and we can include them into,

56
00:03:47.969 --> 00:03:50.790
our blog articles or wherever we want.

57
00:03:50.849 --> 00:03:55.750
So this is connected to the add on stock photo library for posts specific specifically.

58
00:03:56.425 --> 00:03:59.865
Everybody has it without the add on in the admin. This is for posts.

59
00:03:59.865 --> 00:04:03.885
I'm gonna share this in the chat here, and let me show you how to enable this

60
00:04:04.265 --> 00:04:09.065
if when you have it on your site. So if we go to the admin area, there's two things you wanna do.

61
00:04:09.065 --> 00:04:10.925
First, we'll go to the advanced settings,

62
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:21.079
and we just wanna make sure, and this will be enabled by default, but if you just want for good measure, search for stock, basically stock photos, and you're gonna wanna make sure that these are checked.

63
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:23.340
These are the different text editors available,

64
00:04:23.865 --> 00:04:29.325
both to you, the admin of the site, and to your members when you're working on your site from the front end,

65
00:04:29.945 --> 00:04:31.885
like you're logged in as a member.

66
00:04:32.345 --> 00:04:33.965
So just make sure these are checked.

67
00:04:34.265 --> 00:04:40.760
The second thing is you want to then give access for the membership plans that have, access to these stock photos.

68
00:04:40.760 --> 00:04:42.620
So maybe this is a premium feature,

69
00:04:43.080 --> 00:04:49.100
for your premium members and you only wanna give a certain membership plan that access to these photos.

70
00:04:49.345 --> 00:04:53.044
So we can come here and edit a membership plan in the finance section.

71
00:04:53.505 --> 00:04:57.764
And again, what's really cool is you can use this search here. I'm gonna click stock,

72
00:04:58.465 --> 00:05:03.570
and it's gonna find the stock photos, and you can actually choose which libraries you wanna give them access to.

73
00:05:03.570 --> 00:05:13.030
So maybe Giphy is a little too playful for your site, and you don't wanna give your members access to the Giphy library, but you want them to have access to the Pexels and the Pixabay library.

74
00:05:13.250 --> 00:05:16.710
You can pick and choose. So once you've done this for your members,

75
00:05:17.165 --> 00:05:20.945
then when they're creating posts, they would have access to those stock photo

76
00:05:21.325 --> 00:05:21.825
libraries.

77
00:05:22.525 --> 00:05:33.930
Taking a step back, if you don't wanna give access to your entire membership plan, you just wanna give it on a per member basis, maybe this is a boost that you sell or an upsell that members pay a la carte for,

78
00:05:34.550 --> 00:05:36.490
you can go to search members

79
00:05:37.190 --> 00:05:39.850
and if you go to the quick edit section

80
00:05:40.310 --> 00:05:41.850
and under listing settings,

81
00:05:42.175 --> 00:05:46.255
you can choose if they have, access to the stock photo library.

82
00:05:46.255 --> 00:05:50.435
So you can actually assign this on a per member level or the entire,

83
00:05:51.055 --> 00:05:53.795
membership plan, all members of a membership plan.

84
00:05:54.095 --> 00:05:56.355
We'll probably dive into that in a future webinar.

85
00:05:56.940 --> 00:06:01.500
This next one here, pretty important actually. I would recommend everyone pause and,

86
00:06:02.060 --> 00:06:07.440
see what you're using on your homepage. We've created a new speed update for your homepage,

87
00:06:07.980 --> 00:06:14.855
and we're all familiar with the streaming widgets that you can have on the streaming content you can have on your homepage.

88
00:06:15.475 --> 00:06:18.935
Let's go to demo bootstrap. This is our our demo site, for example.

89
00:06:19.875 --> 00:06:22.355
So if you're streaming things like,

90
00:06:22.835 --> 00:06:25.255
recent articles let's let's go to another

91
00:06:25.919 --> 00:06:28.020
demo here. We'll go to the classifieds

92
00:06:28.320 --> 00:06:32.820
or we can go to the event one. So if you're streaming events,

93
00:06:33.280 --> 00:06:40.895
by default, these thumbnail images were always using the larger version that was available in your Brilliant Directories site.

94
00:06:41.115 --> 00:06:43.935
However, there are thumbnail versions available,

95
00:06:44.555 --> 00:06:48.895
and the thumbnail is usually just an is just enough size,

96
00:06:49.275 --> 00:06:52.014
to display here and it's a smaller file size.

97
00:06:52.140 --> 00:06:56.160
So now you can choose if you want to use the regular full size image

98
00:06:56.700 --> 00:06:59.420
or the actual thumbnail size image here.

99
00:06:59.420 --> 00:07:04.000
The reason by default we use the full size image is the images were a bit crisper

100
00:07:04.475 --> 00:07:07.755
in those situations, but that really isn't an issue anymore.

101
00:07:07.755 --> 00:07:14.495
So let me show you what you can do and just to reiterate, let me go back to a regular site here in our webinar demo.

102
00:07:14.794 --> 00:07:18.235
So here on the homepage, we are streaming some blog articles.

103
00:07:18.235 --> 00:07:23.350
They don't have any images yet, but we're streaming some properties and we have some coupons here.

104
00:07:23.570 --> 00:07:29.510
We don't necessarily need the full size of the thumbnail. So if we go to the design settings

105
00:07:30.050 --> 00:07:35.430
and we go to the section where we edit our homepage and the content that we're streaming down the homepage,

106
00:07:35.835 --> 00:07:37.295
enable additional sections,

107
00:07:37.675 --> 00:07:39.855
and this is gonna be related to your posts.

108
00:07:40.155 --> 00:07:46.475
So anything you see with blog articles or property listings or coupons or events, that is where we will find this setting.

109
00:07:46.475 --> 00:07:49.135
So if we go to streaming coupons as an example,

110
00:07:49.540 --> 00:07:50.520
we can hit edit

111
00:07:50.980 --> 00:07:53.880
and we'll now see an image quality drop down here.

112
00:07:53.940 --> 00:08:01.400
By default, it's gonna be large for everyone because that's what it's always been, but you can and I would recommend switching this down to thumbnail

113
00:08:01.700 --> 00:08:02.180
size.

114
00:08:02.180 --> 00:08:09.375
It's not gonna make a gigantic impact unless you're streaming, you know, dozens and dozens and dozens of image images on your homepage,

115
00:08:10.155 --> 00:08:13.455
but it is gonna tick the needle on your page speed for an improvement.

116
00:08:13.755 --> 00:08:19.260
And if you are loading tons of images, it's gonna have an even greater benefit for you as well. So

117
00:08:19.660 --> 00:08:22.960
depending on what you're streaming on your homepage related to posts,

118
00:08:23.340 --> 00:08:28.860
you can come in here and just do a few clicks, and I would recommend choosing the thumbnail size.

119
00:08:28.860 --> 00:08:30.860
Go ahead and check it out and see the difference.

120
00:08:30.860 --> 00:08:40.034
Open up two browser windows and compare the full size with the thumbnail size and see if you see any differences, and you can choose the one that looks best for you.

121
00:08:40.034 --> 00:08:45.975
And just know the thumbnail size will be a smaller image and which will help the page load just a bit quicker.

122
00:08:46.115 --> 00:08:49.095
This next one is also related to speed,

123
00:08:50.140 --> 00:08:52.960
also related to these home page streaming widgets.

124
00:08:53.260 --> 00:08:59.120
Sometimes on mobile devices, we don't want to show all the content that we show on desktop view.

125
00:08:59.580 --> 00:09:02.560
We show kind of an edited version of the site because

126
00:09:03.025 --> 00:09:05.765
there's limited space on mobile. People

127
00:09:06.225 --> 00:09:08.785
don't you don't want people to scroll as much on mobile.

128
00:09:08.785 --> 00:09:11.925
You want more attention to your calls to action on mobile.

129
00:09:12.465 --> 00:09:17.845
So you just wanna create a better mobile experience for some people, and sometimes that means removing content

130
00:09:18.660 --> 00:09:21.779
on mobile devices and that is up to you, the website owner.

131
00:09:21.779 --> 00:09:25.880
It also does help reduce the number of elements loading on mobile,

132
00:09:26.339 --> 00:09:29.000
which can also improve your page speed scores

133
00:09:29.460 --> 00:09:30.360
for mobile.

134
00:09:30.965 --> 00:09:33.605
So what you can do, we've kind of filled in all the gaps.

135
00:09:33.605 --> 00:09:36.185
We had it for most of the streaming sections,

136
00:09:36.725 --> 00:09:39.465
but we've now completed it, with a few more.

137
00:09:39.925 --> 00:09:43.705
So if there is a section that you don't necessarily need to

138
00:09:44.485 --> 00:09:47.250
render on the mobile view of your homepage,

139
00:09:48.190 --> 00:09:50.610
you can come in here and you'll find a setting,

140
00:09:51.389 --> 00:09:53.810
hide on mobile view, yes or no.

141
00:09:54.110 --> 00:09:59.865
And you can you can set it to yes, then go to your site on your smartphone and see how the site looks, how it feels.

142
00:10:00.584 --> 00:10:03.005
Maybe there's something that's taking up too much space.

143
00:10:03.385 --> 00:10:04.125
On mobile,

144
00:10:04.665 --> 00:10:09.325
it's a custom content, piece of content that you added to the homepage streaming sections,

145
00:10:09.785 --> 00:10:14.925
but now you have that control, and maybe if you cut out maybe two or three of these, one,

146
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:23.420
it'll reduce the it'll improve the page speed by reducing the number of elements needed to load, and two, it'll draw more attention to your more important calls to action,

147
00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:32.435
which are hard to find on a mobile device because you have to scroll up and down to get to those calls to action that we want, those actions that we want users to take.

148
00:10:32.495 --> 00:10:36.995
Alright. This next one here, I had a I had a deep conversation with Elon and we're

149
00:10:37.455 --> 00:10:39.475
he is sticking with the x logo,

150
00:10:39.855 --> 00:10:40.355
for

151
00:10:40.735 --> 00:10:41.235
Twitter.

152
00:10:41.535 --> 00:10:51.640
Mainly what we were waiting for at Brilliant Directories and I'll show you and this update basically is updating the Twitter logo to be the X logo on the front end of your sites.

153
00:10:51.640 --> 00:10:53.500
There's two places where that happens.

154
00:10:54.040 --> 00:10:55.100
Let me show you.

155
00:10:55.515 --> 00:11:01.195
So on the members profile page when we're looking at their social icons, we'll now see an x here.

156
00:11:01.195 --> 00:11:04.975
You guys don't, there's no further action. This is automatically updated now here.

157
00:11:05.355 --> 00:11:09.295
And in the footer of the site when the site is sharing their social links,

158
00:11:09.740 --> 00:11:10.880
TikTok, Facebook,

159
00:11:11.579 --> 00:11:17.839
Twitter X. What we were waiting for was this share button here. This is generated from Twitter

160
00:11:18.300 --> 00:11:21.600
and up until now they maintained the old the bluebird

161
00:11:22.445 --> 00:11:27.005
chirping logo. So now they've updated this. This is coming directly from,

162
00:11:27.405 --> 00:11:32.205
Twitter or X. So now that they've updated this, we've also updated the logo here.

163
00:11:32.205 --> 00:11:35.105
So there's continuity and there's a uniform match,

164
00:11:35.699 --> 00:11:38.360
with those assets for Twitter or X.

165
00:11:38.899 --> 00:11:41.139
Okay. This next one is related to emails.

166
00:11:41.139 --> 00:11:45.079
We did mention in the previous webinar, but I thought it was noteworthy

167
00:11:45.620 --> 00:11:48.759
to mention once more, you can now add emojis

168
00:11:49.145 --> 00:11:52.845
to your subject lines and in the body of your email templates.

169
00:11:53.385 --> 00:11:59.305
Super value, I would recommend, you know, your welcome emails that your members get, your lead emails when they receive a review.

170
00:11:59.305 --> 00:12:01.485
There's probably about four or five key emails

171
00:12:01.870 --> 00:12:08.030
that your members get and the best way to find that out is to sign up to your site as a member and interact with that profile.

172
00:12:08.030 --> 00:12:13.170
Send that test profile a message, see the email the website visitor gets, see the email

173
00:12:13.550 --> 00:12:14.690
the member gets,

174
00:12:14.995 --> 00:12:17.795
and also see the email the admin of the site gets.

175
00:12:17.795 --> 00:12:22.995
So it's good to just create those test accounts and play around with them, interact with them, and see,

176
00:12:23.555 --> 00:12:26.695
you know, how the site behaves, emails that are sent, etcetera.

177
00:12:26.915 --> 00:12:32.350
But let me show you an example of why this is so exciting. I'll dive into the admin area here

178
00:12:33.050 --> 00:12:34.829
and let's go to emails,

179
00:12:35.529 --> 00:12:36.269
email templates,

180
00:12:36.889 --> 00:12:39.209
and we'll just create a new email template.

181
00:12:39.209 --> 00:12:44.269
So let's say we wanna welcome our new premium members so we can create a subject line.

182
00:12:44.410 --> 00:12:47.635
You know, I like to do open here. I did one before.

183
00:12:48.175 --> 00:12:54.595
You're in the network, and we added an emoji here where you can find it for the subject line is on the right hand side here.

184
00:12:54.895 --> 00:12:58.515
So I'll toggle this open, and we've added all the safe emojis,

185
00:12:58.880 --> 00:13:02.100
which means emojis that will render properly on Android,

186
00:13:02.800 --> 00:13:04.980
Samsung and Apple smartphones.

187
00:13:05.920 --> 00:13:10.180
And usually those will just work on on desktop as well in Gmail, Hotmail, etcetera.

188
00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:13.620
So, you can do a search here, we can look for smiling

189
00:13:14.395 --> 00:13:16.495
and we see all the smiling faces here.

190
00:13:16.795 --> 00:13:21.295
And what's cool also is what I was really excited about is having it available in

191
00:13:21.675 --> 00:13:26.555
the body as well. I'll just grab something here, and actually let's do something fun here.

192
00:13:26.555 --> 00:13:30.480
Let's, add a GIF here. Let's Let's go back to this library here.

193
00:13:30.860 --> 00:13:34.960
And let me just before I do that, let me show you where you can add emojis here in the body.

194
00:13:35.180 --> 00:13:36.960
It's over here, you'll see emoticons,

195
00:13:37.740 --> 00:13:41.180
and it will be the same emojis available in this drop down list here.

196
00:13:41.180 --> 00:13:48.415
So maybe we wanna use a cool guy and we'll say, you're in. Alright. So now let's add an image here.

197
00:13:48.714 --> 00:13:52.894
Click on the library and let's stick with Snoop Dogg. Snoop dancing.

198
00:13:53.274 --> 00:13:54.175
We'll do Giphy.

199
00:13:54.555 --> 00:13:57.454
Alright. You can also search for things like you're in

200
00:13:57.770 --> 00:13:59.710
or you made it. Let's search for something

201
00:14:00.090 --> 00:14:00.750
with text.

202
00:14:01.130 --> 00:14:02.190
There we go. Congratulations.

203
00:14:03.050 --> 00:14:07.690
So let's add that in there. So now you can see just very quickly, I mean, this is yeah.

204
00:14:07.690 --> 00:14:19.074
This is very quick, but you can kinda animate your emails, get a little more playful, or if it's a more professional tone, maybe you don't wanna use a a GIF there, let's add just like, something from another one of the libraries.

205
00:14:19.615 --> 00:14:22.435
Say you made it, and we'll search Pexels.

206
00:14:23.134 --> 00:14:25.394
Say thank you, you know, like thank you for joining.

207
00:14:25.740 --> 00:14:26.700
So there you go.

208
00:14:26.700 --> 00:14:38.220
So very quickly we don't have to scour the Internet anymore for these images, we could just work very quickly within the BD admin area, to get something that's, you know, 80% good enough because we're busy doing other things.

209
00:14:38.220 --> 00:14:39.360
Most of us are solopreneurs

210
00:14:39.899 --> 00:14:41.279
working on our sites alone.

211
00:14:41.435 --> 00:14:45.535
These are just some tools to make things a bit more quick and efficient for you.

212
00:14:45.755 --> 00:14:47.675
And last one here, video posts.

213
00:14:47.675 --> 00:14:52.815
So as you know, we have event posts that you can have on your Brolin Directory site, coupons, etcetera.

214
00:14:52.875 --> 00:14:57.330
You can also post videos just by sharing a YouTube link or Vimeo link.

215
00:14:57.570 --> 00:15:00.710
We've now extended support for YouTube shorts,

216
00:15:01.330 --> 00:15:05.030
TikToks, and something I recently learned about what's called daily motion.

217
00:15:05.410 --> 00:15:10.310
So now you can share a link and it will add it to the post. You don't have to do anything else.

218
00:15:10.610 --> 00:15:12.405
Let me show you what that looks like.

219
00:15:12.645 --> 00:15:16.825
So here we are in a member's account, and they wanna post a new video,

220
00:15:17.285 --> 00:15:21.305
and they come in here, and we'll just call this one YouTube short.

221
00:15:21.685 --> 00:15:23.445
I'll call it two because I have another test.

222
00:15:23.445 --> 00:15:26.730
So here you just have to pop in your YouTube or Vimeo link.

223
00:15:26.730 --> 00:15:30.269
And if you're offering this to your members, educating them is a good idea,

224
00:15:30.730 --> 00:15:34.910
because videos are the easiest content to add to a site because the videos themselves

225
00:15:35.610 --> 00:15:39.870
are the entertainment. So if you educate them on how quick and easy this is,

226
00:15:40.250 --> 00:15:42.285
they might be more inclined to use this.

227
00:15:42.605 --> 00:15:48.144
So if we come here to YouTube, you know the short section, it's basically like Instagram stories and things like that.

228
00:15:48.605 --> 00:15:52.704
So let's see what we got here. So we see the URLs up here.

229
00:15:53.084 --> 00:15:57.904
So from the you from the short, and if we come here and just paste this in

230
00:15:58.209 --> 00:16:02.870
and save the changes, and then again, you can add, enter a description here if you want.

231
00:16:03.010 --> 00:16:05.170
You could also embed the video here.

232
00:16:05.170 --> 00:16:08.550
Let's see if we just put that short in here and see if that works as well.

233
00:16:08.850 --> 00:16:11.190
I don't think fifty fifty works with shorts.

234
00:16:11.774 --> 00:16:15.935
That's why we kinda wanted to create this, integration here where you just have to put the URL.

235
00:16:15.935 --> 00:16:17.075
Let's view the post.

236
00:16:17.454 --> 00:16:21.535
And here is the short here, and it doesn't seem like it got it in the post.

237
00:16:21.535 --> 00:16:23.875
Shorts are a bit special how they're embedded.

238
00:16:24.060 --> 00:16:29.600
So now we do support it, in this manner here and the same with TikTok.

239
00:16:29.740 --> 00:16:31.920
So obviously, TikTok's more popular now.

240
00:16:32.380 --> 00:16:35.279
You can just take the URL of a TikTok video

241
00:16:35.580 --> 00:16:37.279
and let's create a new post,

242
00:16:37.715 --> 00:16:42.915
a new video, and I'll call this TikTok too because I have an example of it already.

243
00:16:42.915 --> 00:16:45.175
All we have to do is pop that link in there,

244
00:16:45.635 --> 00:16:47.095
and we'll save the changes,

245
00:16:47.635 --> 00:16:49.095
and we can view the post.

246
00:16:49.555 --> 00:16:53.330
And like magic, we have TikTok videos available on the site right here.

247
00:16:53.330 --> 00:16:55.670
And if we go to the search results page for videos,

248
00:16:56.290 --> 00:17:05.190
we can see here there's a there's a preview of the image that was actually the most challenging part of this this update was fetching the feature image and getting them to kind of render,

249
00:17:06.050 --> 00:17:10.204
properly, or or with a a good design here. But now it is available.

250
00:17:10.424 --> 00:17:14.285
And the same thing with daily motion. Daily motion is similar to another YouTube

251
00:17:14.984 --> 00:17:17.964
type of site with video content libraries

252
00:17:18.265 --> 00:17:22.285
and things of that nature. So lots of new feature releases here and

253
00:17:22.950 --> 00:17:24.890
we have one more fun slide here.

254
00:17:25.429 --> 00:17:27.909
We have a bunch of new add ons coming soon.

255
00:17:27.909 --> 00:17:33.909
I'm gonna breeze through this list not gonna get into too much detail here but we do have a new add on coming down the line.

256
00:17:33.909 --> 00:17:37.370
I would expect its release January

257
00:17:37.715 --> 00:17:41.895
but it's going to allow BD users to block traffic by country.

258
00:17:41.955 --> 00:17:44.995
So I don't recommend everyone takes advantage of this.

259
00:17:45.235 --> 00:17:49.575
I know it's kind of, it seems appealing to just wanna go in there and only,

260
00:17:50.035 --> 00:17:51.980
select the country you wanna target.

261
00:17:51.980 --> 00:17:58.860
But keep in mind, your website visitors or your members may be traveling the world and you don't necessarily wanna block traffic.

262
00:17:58.860 --> 00:18:11.595
This would be blocking traffic from countries where you're noticing high levels of spam or unwanted sign ups and you just want it and they're not related to your site in any way, you can then go ahead and block the traffic from that country.

263
00:18:11.595 --> 00:18:13.855
We're gonna have easy settings for that.

264
00:18:14.315 --> 00:18:15.695
This is the cover image,

265
00:18:16.075 --> 00:18:18.815
for that add on. So as soon as it is released,

266
00:18:19.260 --> 00:18:23.840
we will notify the Facebook group and make an announcement in an upcoming newsletter.

267
00:18:24.300 --> 00:18:27.440
Also in the same vein of blocking spam,

268
00:18:27.900 --> 00:18:29.680
this will be available to everyone,

269
00:18:30.140 --> 00:18:31.840
probably by the December.

270
00:18:32.445 --> 00:18:38.945
So on the Internet, there are services that provide people with disposable email addresses, one time use email addresses,

271
00:18:39.325 --> 00:18:48.700
and a lot of SEO companies or, you know, spammy companies use those to sign up to sites, and they look for sites where they can create free profiles and whatnot.

272
00:18:49.320 --> 00:18:52.940
So we're going to be creating an area where you can actually block

273
00:18:53.320 --> 00:18:54.380
known disposable

274
00:18:54.760 --> 00:18:55.580
email addresses.

275
00:18:56.040 --> 00:18:59.500
This is going to be next to the spam block keyword settings.

276
00:19:00.045 --> 00:19:00.785
We recently

277
00:19:01.405 --> 00:19:04.625
released blocking spoof characters. These are called homoglyphs.

278
00:19:04.765 --> 00:19:06.785
They look like regular characters, but

279
00:19:07.085 --> 00:19:08.865
they're used by spammers,

280
00:19:09.245 --> 00:19:12.205
and there will be a block disposable email address here.

281
00:19:12.205 --> 00:19:17.310
So these will be the domains of email addresses that are known, and we'll have a default list for you.

282
00:19:17.310 --> 00:19:18.770
It's pretty vast list.

283
00:19:18.990 --> 00:19:25.330
And if you notice some patterns on your own site, you can then add those to this list as well, and that should help,

284
00:19:26.190 --> 00:19:29.424
mitigate unwanted sign ups to your site even

285
00:19:29.885 --> 00:19:30.205
more.

286
00:19:30.365 --> 00:19:37.184
The next thing after that, we are adding the ability to search for duplicate member values in the admin

287
00:19:37.645 --> 00:19:38.145
area.

288
00:19:38.525 --> 00:19:42.385
Again, this is another way to kind of keep your data nice and tidy.

289
00:19:42.780 --> 00:19:50.480
And what this is gonna be most useful, and we have a mock up here, this is in the final version, but when you're in the search member section, you can search for duplicates

290
00:19:50.860 --> 00:19:53.440
and you'll be able to check things like email address.

291
00:19:53.500 --> 00:20:02.105
So you can search which member and it'll find any members where there's where they have the same email address and you can decide if you want to take action on that.

292
00:20:02.245 --> 00:20:07.145
So where this is gonna be really valuable is by check marking like the user IP.

293
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:14.980
So if you notice that a lot of your members have, like, 20 or or a bunch of members have the same sign up IP, but they're different members,

294
00:20:15.360 --> 00:20:27.654
that might indicate that it's an SEO company or some company that may be spamming your site, and you then you can decide if you wanna take action and quickly, you know, delete all those listings or if they look legitimate, you can just keep things as they are.

295
00:20:27.654 --> 00:20:38.490
But searching for duplicates will help website owners keep their data nice and tidy and kinda get ahead of any issues that may be coming about from people adding duplicate content to their sites.

296
00:20:39.370 --> 00:20:42.190
And another one, right now you can search,

297
00:20:42.570 --> 00:20:44.110
by a specific IP.

298
00:20:44.650 --> 00:20:45.950
We're going to introduce

299
00:20:46.250 --> 00:20:51.230
searching IPs by country. Same thing here in the search members page. Again, this is a crude

300
00:20:51.695 --> 00:20:52.595
mock up here,

301
00:20:53.055 --> 00:21:17.140
but you can certainly search by an IP address with the numbers, but there's gonna be a drop down so you can search, you know, for people who are signing up from India or Germany or it's just gonna be a list of all the countries and then you can search and then again you can see if there's any nefarious or unwanted activity on your site and then you can use the bulk actions to kind of get rid of those listings if you choose to if or you can just keep things as they are.

302
00:21:17.145 --> 00:21:21.805
But again, this is gonna allow website owners to kind of have a better grasp of the type of activity

303
00:21:22.345 --> 00:21:24.985
coming to their site and where it's coming from. Okay.

304
00:21:24.985 --> 00:21:27.705
This next one is actually I'm most excited about.

305
00:21:27.705 --> 00:21:34.230
So with that add on to have stock photos for your posts, we were choosing photos in the text editor.

306
00:21:34.230 --> 00:21:37.850
Right? So we were coming let's see a quick example here.

307
00:21:38.230 --> 00:21:45.850
We were coming in the text editor here, and we were using the library and searching and putting things in the description

308
00:21:46.635 --> 00:21:47.375
of the

309
00:21:47.915 --> 00:21:49.215
post. What we're introducing

310
00:21:49.515 --> 00:21:50.015
soon

311
00:21:50.395 --> 00:21:57.355
is the ability with that same add on to choose stock photos for the featured image of a post.

312
00:21:57.355 --> 00:22:00.255
So let's say you're gonna be posting a community article.

313
00:22:00.795 --> 00:22:02.015
Let's go back here.

314
00:22:02.350 --> 00:22:03.409
Alright. Let's say

315
00:22:03.870 --> 00:22:10.769
again, and you can choose if which members or if it's just for the admin and their blog, but you'll be able to publish content a lot quicker

316
00:22:11.070 --> 00:22:17.490
and being able to choose a featured image without having to search the Internet for something that's gonna look good to complement the article.

317
00:22:17.745 --> 00:22:20.085
So let's say we wanna write an article on,

318
00:22:20.625 --> 00:22:23.365
five benefits of walking your dog in cold weather,

319
00:22:23.665 --> 00:22:25.845
and we can certainly upload an image,

320
00:22:26.705 --> 00:22:27.665
that we might have.

321
00:22:27.665 --> 00:22:34.450
But if we're if we're doing contents in bulk, we might not have an image to complement every article or post that we're creating.

322
00:22:34.450 --> 00:22:38.790
So we can search the stock photo library and we'll search for dog walking.

323
00:22:39.090 --> 00:22:43.930
Again, we'll have access. In this case, Giphy is not available because that's an animated GIF.

324
00:22:43.930 --> 00:22:48.985
It doesn't really work well for a featured image, but we do have the other libraries here.

325
00:22:49.365 --> 00:22:54.905
And we can see lots of pictures of dog walking. This is in cold weather. We can add it here.

326
00:22:55.205 --> 00:22:57.545
And now we have a featured image,

327
00:22:57.925 --> 00:23:02.630
for the article. And I always love mentioning it. You know, we marry that with, the ChatGPT

328
00:23:03.010 --> 00:23:03.510
integration.

329
00:23:04.130 --> 00:23:11.350
So we just put a prompt here, you know, write 500 word article on x, y, and z, and we have ChatGPT spin an article.

330
00:23:11.775 --> 00:23:13.475
You know, if you have a topic

331
00:23:14.015 --> 00:23:15.395
and you have the prompt,

332
00:23:16.015 --> 00:23:17.635
you can basically spin an article.

333
00:23:18.015 --> 00:23:20.735
Pretty quick add your own, edits on top of it.

334
00:23:20.735 --> 00:23:23.635
This would be a great way to start an article as an outline,

335
00:23:24.059 --> 00:23:26.799
but definitely then you wanna come in and put the human touch,

336
00:23:27.340 --> 00:23:28.460
and here is an article.

337
00:23:28.460 --> 00:23:33.740
This wasn't on the, walking your dog benefits, but it was something else we used in the past.

338
00:23:33.740 --> 00:23:37.200
So very quickly, we can see we have a featured image.

339
00:23:37.975 --> 00:23:42.475
We have the article, and then, of course, we can add additional media here. We can add videos,

340
00:23:42.855 --> 00:23:48.455
more images to decorate the article, and we don't have to leave the website in order to do all of that.

341
00:23:48.455 --> 00:23:49.195
So helping

342
00:23:49.495 --> 00:23:53.910
BD users and your members create content on your site a whole lot more,

343
00:23:54.310 --> 00:23:55.530
effectively and efficiently.

344
00:23:56.070 --> 00:24:01.130
Two more coming down the line, and this was a long extended list here, and thank you guys for all your suggestions.

345
00:24:01.190 --> 00:24:03.210
A lot of these updates come from your ideas.

346
00:24:03.755 --> 00:24:06.815
For Zapier, those of you who are using Pabbly and Zapier,

347
00:24:07.355 --> 00:24:09.855
currently you can create members,

348
00:24:10.235 --> 00:24:12.015
create posts, and create leads.

349
00:24:12.395 --> 00:24:17.855
We are now, we are soon about to release the ability to add reviews to your site in the same way.

350
00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:23.000
So if you have reviews from third party sources, you'll be able to create workflows that,

351
00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:26.300
add reviews to the members on your site.

352
00:24:26.840 --> 00:24:28.620
So we're pretty excited about that.

353
00:24:28.840 --> 00:24:34.485
And then lastly, this one here, we've been talking about it for a few months, but as you know, a lot of updates came,

354
00:24:34.805 --> 00:24:40.105
came in the way, but we are soon going to release, I'm very excited about the newsletter update.

355
00:24:40.485 --> 00:24:41.785
It will allow you to,

356
00:24:42.405 --> 00:24:43.845
exclude certain smart lists.

357
00:24:43.845 --> 00:24:45.715
So if you wanna email a group of members but also exclude another group of members when you're sending a newsletter, it's gonna help you send

358
00:24:50.610 --> 00:24:52.630
send really laser focused newsletters

359
00:24:53.250 --> 00:24:54.310
to certain groups.

360
00:24:54.530 --> 00:25:01.670
After the newsletter send, you'll be able to create segments based on send stats, so people who opened or didn't open

361
00:25:02.284 --> 00:25:07.245
newsletters, you'll be able to create smart lists from them. So if you need to re email people,

362
00:25:07.965 --> 00:25:11.265
or or figure out what you wanna do after a send, you can do that.

363
00:25:11.485 --> 00:25:17.100
And also this is pretty cool, you'll be able to schedule newsletters for future send dates and time.

364
00:25:17.179 --> 00:25:20.320
Currently, you have to just click the button and it goes in real time.

365
00:25:20.539 --> 00:25:29.039
So if you do your work in the middle of the night and you want an email to be sent at 8AM the next morning, you can rest assured you can schedule it and it will be

366
00:25:29.419 --> 00:25:32.140
sent at that time in your time zone.

367
00:25:32.140 --> 00:25:36.294
So these are just a handful of the updates that are coming soon.

368
00:25:36.595 --> 00:25:38.595
We're not having a tip of the week today,

369
00:25:38.995 --> 00:25:41.095
there were just so many updates to share,

370
00:25:41.715 --> 00:25:48.660
but I'm gonna lower everyone's hands here and if you have a comment or question about the new feature releases

371
00:25:49.280 --> 00:26:02.660
or something coming soon here before we get to the general Q and A, please feel free to share a comment or raise your hand and ask a question and we'll be happy to take a couple of those before moving on to the general Q and A here in the webinar.

372
00:26:03.315 --> 00:26:08.514
Okay. Let's see if, Colette has her hand up here. Sorry. Hi, Jason. How are you? Wonderful.

373
00:26:08.514 --> 00:26:12.755
How are you doing? Good. Thank you. Jason, just a quick question about the,

374
00:26:13.394 --> 00:26:16.615
newsletter emails. How detailed will the stats be

375
00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:17.460
for

376
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:20.640
those same stats? So you're going to see,

377
00:26:21.040 --> 00:26:26.500
which emails bounced or couldn't be delivered because they're a bad email address or for some other reason.

378
00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:28.340
And I will give the email

379
00:26:28.880 --> 00:26:29.380
address

380
00:26:30.025 --> 00:26:33.005
for those ones advanced? You'll see the list. So,

381
00:26:34.345 --> 00:26:37.485
and then you'll see who the email was delivered to,

382
00:26:37.865 --> 00:26:43.565
who opened the email, and if there was a link in the email, who clicked the link in the email.

383
00:26:43.780 --> 00:26:46.680
And for each of those, you can create a separate,

384
00:26:47.140 --> 00:26:49.320
group or segment from that those stats.

385
00:26:49.780 --> 00:26:50.280
Fantastic.

386
00:26:50.660 --> 00:26:54.260
Thank you. You're very welcome. Great question there. Alright. Great.

387
00:26:54.260 --> 00:26:57.220
I don't see any more hands up here. Thank you guys so much.

388
00:26:57.220 --> 00:27:00.955
You know, these updates are a product of of passion that we have here,

389
00:27:01.434 --> 00:27:07.695
at Brilliant Directories, and, really, we're just trying to deliver the most we can to you guys and as quickly as possible.

390
00:27:08.315 --> 00:27:10.554
So without further ado, we're gonna open it up.

391
00:27:10.554 --> 00:27:13.695
If you're having any trouble on your site, have any general questions,

392
00:27:14.380 --> 00:27:15.820
this is an open forum here.

393
00:27:15.820 --> 00:27:21.520
You can raise your hand and we will do our best to assist you on your site or answer any questions that you might have.

394
00:27:21.660 --> 00:27:30.995
If you're have a hurdle or a roadblock or you're stuck doing something, this is a great way, for us to kind of provide some one on one assistance, to you guys here.

395
00:27:30.995 --> 00:27:34.055
We do have a question that Gene wrote in. They were wondering,

396
00:27:34.515 --> 00:27:41.095
if utilizing the stock photo library, browsing those images, and then also inserting them, if that utilizes

397
00:27:41.635 --> 00:27:42.775
the website's bandwidth.

398
00:27:43.330 --> 00:27:45.670
No. It does not. They're pulled from an API,

399
00:27:46.370 --> 00:27:51.010
so it shouldn't affect the website's bandwidth. Alright. Steven's got his hand up here.

400
00:27:51.010 --> 00:27:56.370
I got two Stevens. I'll start with, Steven b here. Can you hear me now? Yeah. How you doing, Steven?

401
00:27:56.370 --> 00:28:01.095
Oh, hi. Thanks for taking my call. Sure. I'm also on this bandwidth question

402
00:28:01.715 --> 00:28:04.674
here on the videos in the YouTube and the,

403
00:28:06.434 --> 00:28:08.215
TikTok. Is it when

404
00:28:08.835 --> 00:28:09.335
the

405
00:28:09.635 --> 00:28:11.335
thing is loading for the customer,

406
00:28:11.980 --> 00:28:18.539
you know, the the buyer or whatever is gonna see the video, is that using Bandwidth? And does it,

407
00:28:19.019 --> 00:28:20.779
go slow as it's loading?

408
00:28:20.779 --> 00:28:26.585
Does that hurt with Google when you have the TikTok video and the YouTube video in there? So,

409
00:28:27.065 --> 00:28:33.085
the reason we're we embed from other sources is because it doesn't use the site's bandwidth to stream,

410
00:28:33.705 --> 00:28:34.365
the videos.

411
00:28:34.665 --> 00:28:40.440
So that's actually one of the benefits. If you were loading like an a local m p four file video file

412
00:28:40.759 --> 00:28:45.080
on your site and people were loading that, it would definitely utilize all the bandwidth,

413
00:28:45.639 --> 00:28:48.379
for that for the entire file size of that video.

414
00:28:49.159 --> 00:28:52.779
So to answer your question, no. It does not use your site's bandwidth

415
00:28:53.315 --> 00:28:58.215
for the size of the video that's that you're playing on your site from YouTube or TikTok, etcetera.

416
00:28:58.515 --> 00:29:02.295
Please, one more question about that. And those the pictures from the galleries,

417
00:29:02.675 --> 00:29:05.415
you know, we can't really see the size. Are they,

418
00:29:05.960 --> 00:29:06.620
you know,

419
00:29:07.320 --> 00:29:08.860
three 33 kilobytes

420
00:29:09.800 --> 00:29:12.700
or are they six meg? You know what my question is?

421
00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:14.060
Which gallery?

422
00:29:14.600 --> 00:29:16.060
Oh, from the three different

423
00:29:16.520 --> 00:29:17.500
The stock photos?

424
00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:20.945
Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. I'm sorry. Gotcha. So that's a good question.

425
00:29:20.945 --> 00:29:25.845
So they're coming from the stock photo libraries themselves, and those guys are

426
00:29:26.385 --> 00:29:27.845
optimization and compression,

427
00:29:28.385 --> 00:29:29.365
experts already.

428
00:29:29.825 --> 00:29:32.485
So when you search for dog, for example,

429
00:29:33.010 --> 00:29:37.730
these sources have, like, three sizes you can pick, and what we put here is kinda like a guide.

430
00:29:37.730 --> 00:29:42.690
A large would generally be about 1,200 pixels wide. Medium is 650

431
00:29:42.690 --> 00:29:44.549
pixels. That's not the size of the image.

432
00:29:44.850 --> 00:29:49.555
When you're using that size image, it's gonna be the smallest size it can be from what I've tested,

433
00:29:50.255 --> 00:29:57.155
for for the images that are coming from these sources because they're not they don't they're sharing millions of photos, you know, daily,

434
00:29:57.535 --> 00:29:59.055
across their entire network.

435
00:29:59.055 --> 00:30:04.470
So they're gonna want these to be as these images to be as compressed and optimized as as possible already.

436
00:30:04.610 --> 00:30:06.289
But they do offer three different sizes.

437
00:30:06.289 --> 00:30:14.950
So based on where you're using the image, if it's gonna be a small thumbnail in a blog post, you might wanna use for your site, use the smaller image for that specific image.

438
00:30:15.010 --> 00:30:21.605
It's gonna be if it's gonna be like a hero background image and it's the full width of the site, you probably just wanna go ahead and use the larger,

439
00:30:21.905 --> 00:30:26.625
1,200 pixel, image for that. Alright. Thank you very much. You're very welcome.

440
00:30:26.625 --> 00:30:31.770
Good questions there. Thank you. Alright. Let's go to Steven w here. Number two. Steven, number

441
00:30:32.150 --> 00:30:33.210
two. I just Yeah.

442
00:30:33.510 --> 00:30:35.850
Can you hear me? Yeah. Sound perfect.

443
00:30:36.309 --> 00:30:39.690
Great. Thanks for all you guys doing. It was a great job. Appreciate it.

444
00:30:40.549 --> 00:30:45.485
So quick question. One of the updates that you had mentioned on the last call on the last, webinar

445
00:30:45.945 --> 00:30:47.965
was something to do with internal triggers.

446
00:30:48.745 --> 00:30:53.065
It's like a, you know, like a Pabbly Zapier type of thing, but you're building internal triggers.

447
00:30:53.065 --> 00:30:58.365
Can you talk more about that and if that's available yet or when it's coming and how that's gonna work?

448
00:30:58.789 --> 00:31:04.150
Yeah. So, I can show you in Zapier. We have yet to let me let me let me take you there.

449
00:31:04.150 --> 00:31:05.610
Just give me a second here.

450
00:31:06.309 --> 00:31:11.750
I know you're using Pabbly. Right? I am. Yeah. Okay. So we're a little behind on that.

451
00:31:11.909 --> 00:31:13.690
We're just doing everything on,

452
00:31:14.525 --> 00:31:15.505
Zapier first.

453
00:31:15.645 --> 00:31:21.424
Probably in in January, we're gonna just kind of because we're doing a lot of updates to Zapier right now.

454
00:31:21.565 --> 00:31:24.705
So once we once the dust settles on that, we can kind of

455
00:31:25.085 --> 00:31:31.049
kind of take stock of the updates that were made in Zapier and then pass them along to Integrately and Pabbly.

456
00:31:31.669 --> 00:31:33.610
So here's an example in Zapier.

457
00:31:33.750 --> 00:31:38.890
So normally, if you want to send data out from your Brilliant Directory site to another platform,

458
00:31:39.270 --> 00:31:41.130
we always recommend using the webhooks

459
00:31:41.554 --> 00:31:49.255
And webhooks are universal way to port data out from your site and then into Zapier or other platforms that at it that accept it.

460
00:31:49.395 --> 00:31:53.875
In Zapier though, webhooks is a premium feature and requires a paid, account.

461
00:31:53.875 --> 00:31:57.255
That's not necessarily the worst thing, but it's just one extra roadblock.

462
00:31:57.769 --> 00:31:58.269
So

463
00:31:58.570 --> 00:32:01.230
now with this update, you'll be able to have,

464
00:32:02.330 --> 00:32:05.950
triggers. You don't need to use the webhook. So if you want to,

465
00:32:06.889 --> 00:32:18.445
anytime there's a new lead on your site or a new post or a new member account on your site, that will be a trigger and then that data or that that information could be sent to other platforms.

466
00:32:18.445 --> 00:32:23.905
So we don't need to use webhooks. We can kinda just do this we can just trigger this directly

467
00:32:24.205 --> 00:32:26.125
based on an event that happens on your site.

468
00:32:26.125 --> 00:32:29.840
And an event would be right now a new lead, a new post, or a new user.

469
00:32:29.840 --> 00:32:32.420
New review would be another thing coming soon.

470
00:32:33.280 --> 00:32:38.020
But this way you can bypass webhooks, and it's just a direct trigger to start your whole workflow.

471
00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:38.960
Got it. Alright.

472
00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:45.095
So for Padlet, because the Padlet doesn't, like, you know, charge for webhooks using all that, it's it's probably less used for Pavly then.

473
00:32:45.095 --> 00:32:49.034
Right? Or less needed, I should say, for Pavly. It's less needed for Pavly. I actually

474
00:32:49.335 --> 00:32:51.255
prefer the webhooks to an extent.

475
00:32:51.255 --> 00:32:57.179
They're they kind of I we we can include so much data when we send out a webhook, and there's so many more different

476
00:32:57.500 --> 00:33:03.020
there's so many types of webhooks you can create with brilliant directories for different actions that are happening on your site.

477
00:33:03.020 --> 00:33:04.960
So in my opinion, it's more versatile.

478
00:33:06.380 --> 00:33:09.980
This this also works great, but it's just we're just trying to expand,

479
00:33:10.985 --> 00:33:14.365
you know, how we're working with these integration platforms by doing this.

480
00:33:14.665 --> 00:33:17.545
Got it. Well, since I have your, ears, I just wanna put in a suggestion.

481
00:33:17.545 --> 00:33:21.485
It's only a suggestion you guys decide. Please. Yeah. So is that, what would be ideal

482
00:33:22.025 --> 00:33:22.525
is

483
00:33:22.825 --> 00:33:24.365
there was some sort of a trigger,

484
00:33:25.310 --> 00:33:29.970
for completed profile as defined by the, admin. So

485
00:33:30.270 --> 00:33:39.310
because what happens is, at least for me, you know, if the profile is complete, meaning they got a picture, they got they filled out all the different, sections, so on and so forth.

486
00:33:39.310 --> 00:33:40.605
However, I defined it,

487
00:33:41.325 --> 00:33:44.365
then I would want the data to go over to Pavley in my case.

488
00:33:44.684 --> 00:33:48.605
But I think the only way that that can work at this point is if you do a smart list.

489
00:33:48.605 --> 00:33:52.285
It sits in the smart list for, like, a a week or a day or whatever, and then it gets sent.

490
00:33:52.285 --> 00:33:55.230
It's not immediate is what I'm saying. So they just thrown it out as an idea.

491
00:33:55.470 --> 00:33:59.570
You you're you're absolutely right that, thank you for that suggestion. So,

492
00:34:00.110 --> 00:34:01.010
completed profile

493
00:34:01.630 --> 00:34:02.130
trigger

494
00:34:02.830 --> 00:34:03.970
webhook specifically.

495
00:34:04.270 --> 00:34:04.770
Okay.

496
00:34:05.230 --> 00:34:09.304
Yeah. Or what I I don't know how you would do it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah. Right.

497
00:34:09.304 --> 00:34:12.125
Well, we wanna we wanna ping something when that happens.

498
00:34:12.745 --> 00:34:16.265
So, yeah, you are right. Let me just take a quick look with you here right now. You you are correct.

499
00:34:16.265 --> 00:34:18.605
It sounds like you're familiar with the syncing. So,

500
00:34:19.864 --> 00:34:22.364
let me see what we have here. I think I need to

501
00:34:23.010 --> 00:34:24.710
enable the smart list first.

502
00:34:25.090 --> 00:34:26.850
Just one moment here. My books

503
00:34:27.650 --> 00:34:31.190
where am I? I lost myself. Here we go. I I'm just because we just recently,

504
00:34:31.650 --> 00:34:34.630
released this. So let me just search for smart list.

505
00:34:34.929 --> 00:34:37.909
Let me turn this on real quick and save the changes. Oops.

506
00:34:38.375 --> 00:34:43.114
Okay. Let me put a value in here. Alright. Let me come back here. Just doing a quick and dirty

507
00:34:43.655 --> 00:34:48.135
check here. So if you come here, schedule date yeah. So you are correct.

508
00:34:48.135 --> 00:34:51.514
You would create a smart list of people who fit into the completed profile.

509
00:34:52.219 --> 00:34:55.359
And are you looking for something more instant, like checking,

510
00:34:55.739 --> 00:34:56.480
like, hourly

511
00:34:56.859 --> 00:34:58.079
or or by minute?

512
00:34:58.539 --> 00:35:01.740
Well, I mean, obviously, the sooner the better. No no doubt about it.

513
00:35:01.740 --> 00:35:07.039
But, I mean, the the the idea, the concept would be, you know, a member comes on, they fill a profile.

514
00:35:08.184 --> 00:35:09.565
They just finished it, I literally

515
00:35:09.944 --> 00:35:10.925
a minute ago.

516
00:35:11.145 --> 00:35:17.305
And then I don't know what the time period is, but not long after that, that trick that's the trigger itself, finishing the profile.

517
00:35:17.305 --> 00:35:18.365
It becomes the trigger.

518
00:35:18.665 --> 00:35:22.365
Automatically sends it off to wherever Zapier, Pabbly, or whatever.

519
00:35:22.500 --> 00:35:25.320
I don't know how you operationalize it, but that's the concept.

520
00:35:25.540 --> 00:35:29.320
I know that you can, again, create a smart list, and it sits there for Mhmm.

521
00:35:29.780 --> 00:35:31.160
Twenty three hours until

522
00:35:31.460 --> 00:35:37.055
it then gets sent over on daily thing daily basis. That's sort of a yeah. Just an added benefit.

523
00:35:37.055 --> 00:35:40.095
That's all. Gotcha. Yeah. I'm with you. I will think about it.

524
00:35:40.335 --> 00:35:42.835
We maybe want to increase the frequency

525
00:35:43.135 --> 00:35:46.275
of the that, at least as a starting point, Smartlist

526
00:35:46.655 --> 00:35:47.714
syncing frequency.

527
00:35:49.500 --> 00:35:50.960
I already know some workarounds,

528
00:35:51.340 --> 00:35:54.880
excuse the spelling here, but I already know some workarounds, in my head.

529
00:35:55.580 --> 00:36:00.940
Maybe we could talk about it in in the Facebook group, that might work for you. Okay? Yeah. Thanks.

530
00:36:00.940 --> 00:36:05.345
Always suggestion. Thanks. Appreciate it, Steven. Always good suggestions. Thank you so much, buddy.

531
00:36:05.405 --> 00:36:07.425
Alright. Let's see who else has their hands up here.

532
00:36:07.885 --> 00:36:08.385
Alright.

533
00:36:09.005 --> 00:36:10.785
Horatio, let me unmute your microphone.

534
00:36:11.245 --> 00:36:14.525
How you doing, Horatio? Hey, Jason. How are you doing yourself? Pretty good.

535
00:36:14.525 --> 00:36:17.490
Where are you calling in from? You said hello at the beginning of the webinar. Yeah.

536
00:36:17.490 --> 00:36:22.770
Crystal City, Texas. I'm actually from, Eagle Pass, but just moved to Crystal City. Okay. Great.

537
00:36:22.770 --> 00:36:24.630
Great. Thanks for being with us. What's your question?

538
00:36:25.170 --> 00:36:26.770
So I got a little problem with the,

539
00:36:27.810 --> 00:36:31.030
widget. So I'm trying to create a widget where

540
00:36:31.490 --> 00:36:32.470
I can display,

541
00:36:33.465 --> 00:36:37.165
only the nonprofit organizations under that under the categories

542
00:36:37.705 --> 00:36:40.525
and Okay. Couple of times, but I I can't get it

543
00:36:40.825 --> 00:36:43.785
right. So, hopefully, you can help me out with that. Okay.

544
00:36:43.945 --> 00:36:48.840
Could we take a look at your site real quick so you maybe give it the the five minute test here, three minute test here?

545
00:36:48.840 --> 00:36:49.340
Yeah.

546
00:36:49.800 --> 00:36:54.120
What's the name of the site? 411buzzcityguide,

547
00:36:54.120 --> 00:36:57.260
b u z z, city guide Com. Okay.

548
00:36:57.640 --> 00:36:59.660
Let's get a look at your site here.

549
00:37:00.280 --> 00:37:05.474
Okay. And, yeah, kinda just direct me to where I should go and then what you're looking to do. Okay.

550
00:37:05.474 --> 00:37:07.415
So so far, I created a,

551
00:37:08.275 --> 00:37:11.015
new page under nonprofit organizations.

552
00:37:11.795 --> 00:37:14.454
Okay. Let's go to web page builder

553
00:37:14.915 --> 00:37:17.095
and search for non here.

554
00:37:17.790 --> 00:37:18.610
Okay. Nonprofit

555
00:37:18.990 --> 00:37:23.410
organizations. Great. Let's take a look at this page. Well, insert a widget.

556
00:37:24.990 --> 00:37:28.130
And I I was kinda using the help center, the the

557
00:37:28.670 --> 00:37:30.195
the the AI help center.

558
00:37:30.515 --> 00:37:33.955
Okay. They gave me some instructions. So I I did that and,

559
00:37:34.755 --> 00:37:35.575
it didn't work.

560
00:37:36.595 --> 00:37:37.095
Okay.

561
00:37:37.635 --> 00:37:42.695
So then then I went into the widget manager and from there I created the

562
00:37:43.100 --> 00:37:44.720
the the widget that was,

563
00:37:45.180 --> 00:37:47.760
and then copied the link and added to added to Okay.

564
00:37:48.060 --> 00:37:49.020
So let me ask you,

565
00:37:49.820 --> 00:37:54.560
where how do you define a nonprofit organization on your site? Is that a category they've selected?

566
00:37:54.700 --> 00:37:57.635
Top level or sub level? Yes. Categories

567
00:37:57.935 --> 00:37:58.755
under nonprofit.

568
00:37:59.535 --> 00:38:02.115
That would be under let me see. Got it. Okay.

569
00:38:02.175 --> 00:38:06.675
So your top level category let me search for, non here. So it'd be nonprofit.

570
00:38:06.735 --> 00:38:09.235
So the category ID is 99 here.

571
00:38:09.535 --> 00:38:11.395
Okay. Okay. And,

572
00:38:13.280 --> 00:38:14.660
you're you're wanting

573
00:38:15.040 --> 00:38:19.440
all these to link to because this looks like let me go to this link here.

574
00:38:19.600 --> 00:38:22.340
It looks like entertainment event planning services,

575
00:38:23.440 --> 00:38:25.620
but you just have the these nonprofit

576
00:38:26.495 --> 00:38:28.835
here. So you just have how many are here.

577
00:38:28.975 --> 00:38:33.955
So I wanted to show the all the nonprofits under under one on on one page.

578
00:38:34.335 --> 00:38:38.515
Okay. So is it I mean, you don't have that many, which is which is a the good thing.

579
00:38:39.455 --> 00:38:41.790
I could do something very quickly for you,

580
00:38:42.510 --> 00:38:43.730
if you'd like me to.

581
00:38:44.190 --> 00:38:46.270
It will what I would do is I would just,

582
00:38:47.230 --> 00:38:49.490
one thing I would because there's such few categories,

583
00:38:50.990 --> 00:38:53.650
what I would recommend doing if you're gonna go this route

584
00:38:54.110 --> 00:38:57.330
let me let me show you something here.

585
00:38:58.724 --> 00:39:01.625
Let me just show you kind of an example of a look. So,

586
00:39:02.724 --> 00:39:05.464
what you might wanna do is use the content blocks

587
00:39:05.924 --> 00:39:06.424
and

588
00:39:07.204 --> 00:39:08.105
is just create,

589
00:39:08.565 --> 00:39:09.464
you know, links.

590
00:39:09.525 --> 00:39:15.049
And because you have such few categories, you can create, you know, add a complimentary image so it's not just text.

591
00:39:15.269 --> 00:39:22.569
It kinda pretty the site up a bit just as just as a thought for you to do is and you could utilize the the content blocks for that.

592
00:39:22.950 --> 00:39:30.845
But the quick thing we can do right now is I we could I could literally just copy this this this rectangle here and put that in a widget for you.

593
00:39:31.224 --> 00:39:31.724
And

594
00:39:32.185 --> 00:39:36.585
I'll do it here for you. I'm not gonna delete the widget you made. Okay.

595
00:39:36.984 --> 00:39:38.525
I'm just gonna go new widget.

596
00:39:38.825 --> 00:39:39.625
I'm gonna put,

597
00:39:40.410 --> 00:39:41.549
I'll just put webinar,

598
00:39:44.730 --> 00:39:45.470
nonprofit list,

599
00:39:45.930 --> 00:39:46.430
and

600
00:39:46.890 --> 00:39:48.510
I'm just gonna drop that in there

601
00:39:49.369 --> 00:39:50.510
and save the changes.

602
00:39:51.210 --> 00:39:52.589
Now let me copy the shortcode,

603
00:39:53.210 --> 00:39:53.710
and

604
00:39:54.905 --> 00:39:55.405
let's,

605
00:39:55.945 --> 00:40:00.125
let's edit this web page. I'll just put mine at the top here above your your code

606
00:40:00.425 --> 00:40:04.045
so not to kinda get rid of anything. I'll just put this above here,

607
00:40:04.505 --> 00:40:05.565
put a bunch of spaces.

608
00:40:06.265 --> 00:40:06.765
So

609
00:40:07.230 --> 00:40:11.970
save that. Mhmm. Alright. Everybody take a deep breath, and let's see

610
00:40:12.830 --> 00:40:16.210
if it's at the top of the page here. And here it is at the top here.

611
00:40:16.670 --> 00:40:17.170
Mhmm.

612
00:40:17.550 --> 00:40:18.050
So,

613
00:40:18.670 --> 00:40:22.210
I can and then you can remove this one here if you wanted to. Okay.

614
00:40:22.415 --> 00:40:24.515
Let's go ahead and save that real quick.

615
00:40:24.815 --> 00:40:30.755
And you have it here. My suggestion again because this is I mean, it is a lot it is small text here.

616
00:40:31.775 --> 00:40:35.600
I mean, it's the categories are listed here, but I would recommend

617
00:40:36.140 --> 00:40:39.100
maybe perhaps I mean, you can choose what you wanna do.

618
00:40:39.820 --> 00:40:42.160
Let me edit this page. Just a moment.

619
00:40:42.780 --> 00:40:45.440
I would recommend kinda taking the time to,

620
00:40:45.740 --> 00:40:47.920
you know, let me come down here actually.

621
00:40:48.075 --> 00:40:51.454
You can use any one of these where there's like a four column system,

622
00:40:51.755 --> 00:40:55.135
and what's what's good is you can kinda just replace the image.

623
00:40:55.994 --> 00:40:57.275
Let me see if this is working here.

624
00:40:57.275 --> 00:41:04.050
Oh, there's a little glitch here right now on this site, but you can replace the image and use the, the stock photo library and what's one of your

625
00:41:04.610 --> 00:41:08.310
association foundations. So, you know, just search for something that looks

626
00:41:08.930 --> 00:41:12.610
like it'd be yeah. That would be good, you know, like, you know, this guy right here.

627
00:41:12.610 --> 00:41:14.710
But maybe you want, you know, do the same orientation.

628
00:41:14.770 --> 00:41:17.490
Square is the safe safe one because we know they're all squares.

629
00:41:17.490 --> 00:41:20.615
The the height and the width are always the the same.

630
00:41:20.615 --> 00:41:25.255
So, you know, you could get different charity pictures or, you know, things things like that.

631
00:41:25.255 --> 00:41:27.275
You can also search the Pixabay library.

632
00:41:27.815 --> 00:41:29.994
It's good that there's multiple libraries here.

633
00:41:31.494 --> 00:41:34.935
Sometimes you search it's very literal what you search in these stock photo libraries.

634
00:41:34.935 --> 00:41:35.890
So, like, helping

635
00:41:36.270 --> 00:41:40.370
is a good one. And, again, you can toggle between the pixels and a thing. But,

636
00:41:41.310 --> 00:41:43.250
that's what I would recommend to do.

637
00:41:44.350 --> 00:41:47.150
Actually, I like I like that one. I like the the idea.

638
00:41:47.150 --> 00:41:50.770
It's it's more visual and, it's it's, yeah, great suggestion.

639
00:41:51.245 --> 00:41:54.125
Okay. So I'll leave it at that. I won't do any anything else.

640
00:41:54.125 --> 00:41:56.225
But for now, you just have your nonprofit

641
00:41:56.605 --> 00:41:59.325
categories here, to start. Okay. Alright.

642
00:41:59.325 --> 00:42:03.869
And we passed the three minute test, so thank you very much. Thank you so much. Cheers. Alright.

643
00:42:03.869 --> 00:42:07.710
Good questions over from Horatio. Alright. We got Dwayne here. Let me unmute your mic.

644
00:42:07.710 --> 00:42:11.309
Dwayne, how are you doing today? I'm doing pretty good. Got a quick question.

645
00:42:11.309 --> 00:42:12.690
I don't know if this is possible.

646
00:42:13.069 --> 00:42:14.690
If not, it'd be a great suggestion.

647
00:42:15.150 --> 00:42:18.529
When a member is in his back end and he's added his, subcategories,

648
00:42:18.855 --> 00:42:21.275
so he already picked his main but going to his sub,

649
00:42:21.734 --> 00:42:25.355
and then he act he goes over what his limit is for that plan,

650
00:42:25.734 --> 00:42:27.195
instead of just that box

651
00:42:27.734 --> 00:42:33.595
popping up and saying you can't do it, it should be a button in there saying, would you like to upgrade and give them an option

652
00:42:33.960 --> 00:42:36.700
so they can't pick more so they just know and they can't.

653
00:42:37.960 --> 00:42:39.240
Can we check out your site?

654
00:42:39.240 --> 00:42:43.500
I think you can update update that text label and you can do something like that.

655
00:42:43.640 --> 00:42:45.420
Can we can we give it a try?

656
00:42:46.040 --> 00:42:50.035
Actually, I don't have my site together yet. No. Let me let me go to my test site then.

657
00:42:50.035 --> 00:42:51.495
Give me one second here,

658
00:42:51.955 --> 00:42:54.455
and let's let's do that together actually.

659
00:42:54.755 --> 00:42:57.175
So let's, log in as a member here.

660
00:42:57.475 --> 00:43:02.355
I am I am actually logged in here as this, sample members or sample demo site.

661
00:43:02.355 --> 00:43:03.575
Let's go to his dashboard,

662
00:43:04.200 --> 00:43:06.060
and let's see what his limit is.

663
00:43:06.520 --> 00:43:07.020
So,

664
00:43:07.720 --> 00:43:10.540
select up to 10 categories. He hasn't selected,

665
00:43:11.320 --> 00:43:15.180
any yet. So let's set that to two, right, and then see what message we get.

666
00:43:15.400 --> 00:43:18.060
So his membership he's a membership plan one.

667
00:43:18.365 --> 00:43:20.464
I think that's a great idea, by the way. So

668
00:43:20.765 --> 00:43:22.065
go to edit here,

669
00:43:22.525 --> 00:43:24.704
and we go to, I think, search visibility,

670
00:43:26.045 --> 00:43:31.345
maximum sublevel categories. Let's set it to two and refresh this page. This should change to two.

671
00:43:31.599 --> 00:43:32.099
Okay,

672
00:43:32.480 --> 00:43:35.940
great. So let's do one, two, and if I do three,

673
00:43:36.720 --> 00:43:39.599
let me reach sorry, but you can only select two. Okay.

674
00:43:39.599 --> 00:43:44.020
So let's search for, but you can only select up to. This should be a text label.

675
00:43:44.240 --> 00:43:46.099
Let's go to text labels here.

676
00:43:46.515 --> 00:43:50.275
Okay. So okay. It's it's a it's a it's a combo text label.

677
00:43:50.275 --> 00:43:55.734
So sorry, but you can only select up to two categories. So there's another half to this text label.

678
00:43:56.194 --> 00:43:57.474
So we can put some text,

679
00:43:58.510 --> 00:43:59.630
text limit here.

680
00:44:00.990 --> 00:44:03.490
Upgrade let's just see what it looks like.

681
00:44:04.590 --> 00:44:06.210
Count to increase,

682
00:44:07.390 --> 00:44:07.890
limits,

683
00:44:08.190 --> 00:44:08.690
and

684
00:44:09.230 --> 00:44:12.835
let's put a but let's just, I'm just gonna put this as a link here.

685
00:44:12.835 --> 00:44:15.414
You can dress it up more, but just to see if it'll work.

686
00:44:16.115 --> 00:44:17.255
Upgrade your account.

687
00:44:17.634 --> 00:44:19.734
So this is basically adding, like, HTML.

688
00:44:20.595 --> 00:44:27.319
And if you ever wanna get the link for where this guy doesn't have an upgrade option, he's already the highest plan, but let's change that real quick.

689
00:44:27.319 --> 00:44:28.780
So sign ups and upgrades,

690
00:44:29.400 --> 00:44:34.220
and we'll say this guy can upgrade to I'll just arbitrarily

691
00:44:34.680 --> 00:44:35.740
choose two other

692
00:44:36.215 --> 00:44:38.395
plans that this guy can upgrade to.

693
00:44:38.695 --> 00:44:39.675
Save the changes

694
00:44:40.375 --> 00:44:40.875
and

695
00:44:41.495 --> 00:44:46.795
okay. Let me I just wanna get the link for the upgrade here real quick. So here's the change plan.

696
00:44:47.175 --> 00:44:49.595
So let's say there's just one other plan that's better

697
00:44:50.055 --> 00:44:52.820
on your site. So let's say it's this plan.

698
00:44:53.200 --> 00:44:54.580
So I'll click to continue.

699
00:44:55.120 --> 00:44:57.540
And what I have here now is I have the link

700
00:44:57.840 --> 00:45:01.380
that I wanna send them to when I create that in the thing. So,

701
00:45:02.640 --> 00:45:03.460
just again,

702
00:45:03.920 --> 00:45:08.805
I'm just I'm just kind of free free willing here. We're gonna now we're gonna hit his limit again,

703
00:45:09.345 --> 00:45:09.744
and,

704
00:45:10.785 --> 00:45:13.424
I'm just gonna do one more thing here. Alright. Let's save this.

705
00:45:13.424 --> 00:45:16.325
So I updated the text label when the category is reached,

706
00:45:16.670 --> 00:45:19.330
and let's hit that category limit one more time together.

707
00:45:20.990 --> 00:45:22.850
And alright. Looks like I

708
00:45:23.470 --> 00:45:27.650
did something it doesn't like, and I think I know what it is. It's single quotes here.

709
00:45:28.190 --> 00:45:31.570
Sometimes text labels can be finicky. Let's see if that's what it is.

710
00:45:31.925 --> 00:45:33.305
Yep. That's what it was. Alright.

711
00:45:33.685 --> 00:45:36.665
So we have two. So let's do +1, 23.

712
00:45:37.045 --> 00:45:41.305
So there we go. It says upgrade your account to increase limits, and this is technically a link.

713
00:45:41.525 --> 00:45:45.045
And then the the message below, it says sorry, but you can only select your category.

714
00:45:45.045 --> 00:45:48.630
So you can put a, like, a button. You can put some pretext here if you want.

715
00:45:48.630 --> 00:45:53.690
There there are some modifications you could put here, or instead of limit reach, you can say upgrade required.

716
00:45:54.950 --> 00:45:56.790
You know, but if they've, you know, things like that.

717
00:45:56.790 --> 00:46:02.535
But let's click this link now, and it's taking me to where I can upgrade my my plan directly,

718
00:46:03.394 --> 00:46:05.734
using that link that we got before. So,

719
00:46:06.515 --> 00:46:12.134
just to let you know, I'll share the text label here at category limit reached, and I'm actually gonna share the code that I put

720
00:46:12.510 --> 00:46:16.190
in the chat as well. Obviously, it was just a quick and dirty way to do it.

721
00:46:16.190 --> 00:46:19.170
So this is the text label, category limit reached,

722
00:46:19.550 --> 00:46:21.730
and this was what I put in there.

723
00:46:22.190 --> 00:46:27.225
Obviously, yours would be a little different, but that's just to give you an idea conceptually of what you can do there.

724
00:46:27.625 --> 00:46:29.725
Perfect. Thank you. You're very welcome.

725
00:46:30.025 --> 00:46:31.325
Good questions there.

726
00:46:32.025 --> 00:46:36.425
Alright. Sean's got his hand up here. Thank you. Yeah. How are you doing, Sean?

727
00:46:36.425 --> 00:46:37.565
Where are you calling in from?

728
00:46:38.025 --> 00:46:38.685
I'm from,

729
00:46:39.385 --> 00:46:41.710
production on detail. I do have a quick question.

730
00:46:42.030 --> 00:46:45.890
One of the question I have, when you go to the search member section,

731
00:46:46.430 --> 00:46:52.050
on your right hand side, there is a drop down that you can sort based on ID, oldest, or newest.

732
00:46:52.505 --> 00:46:55.245
Are you able to add the data from

733
00:46:55.705 --> 00:47:01.085
sort by most leads? Because we have a lot of members that they don't respond to their leads.

734
00:47:01.225 --> 00:47:09.320
So they're sitting in their box, and that's gonna help us who has the most number of the leads as a member in the directory.

735
00:47:10.180 --> 00:47:13.960
Yeah. Do you have are you able to add something on that?

736
00:47:14.500 --> 00:47:16.920
So It's pretty good. It's pretty good suggestion.

737
00:47:17.700 --> 00:47:18.200
Most

738
00:47:18.660 --> 00:47:19.640
pending leads,

739
00:47:21.115 --> 00:47:24.895
least, I guess, most pending I guess, most also most accepted

740
00:47:25.515 --> 00:47:26.415
leads. Yes.

741
00:47:26.715 --> 00:47:30.315
Okay. You kinda figure out who these people are. Most pending leads would

742
00:47:31.035 --> 00:47:31.515
okay.

743
00:47:31.915 --> 00:47:35.615
That's a good Sean, that's a good suggestion, actually. Thank you for that. Search

744
00:47:36.170 --> 00:47:36.750
members sort

745
00:47:37.610 --> 00:47:38.110
option.

746
00:47:39.610 --> 00:47:40.110
Also,

747
00:47:40.410 --> 00:47:42.990
to search members who have pending leads,

748
00:47:43.290 --> 00:47:46.110
step leads with certain statuses. So search

749
00:47:46.650 --> 00:47:47.150
members,

750
00:47:47.530 --> 00:47:48.030
search,

751
00:47:50.175 --> 00:47:51.155
by certain

752
00:47:51.775 --> 00:47:52.755
lead statuses,

753
00:47:53.135 --> 00:47:54.035
which would be

754
00:47:54.735 --> 00:47:56.755
accepted. Okay. I'm with you.

755
00:47:57.455 --> 00:48:00.975
I don't have I mean, you just suggested it's a great idea, so I'll pass it on to the team.

756
00:48:00.975 --> 00:48:02.550
We'll see if we can get into the workflow.

757
00:48:02.870 --> 00:48:05.630
That's not just a loss because lots of these members will come in.

758
00:48:05.630 --> 00:48:09.690
They don't have any like, the the ten minute, sixteen minute box. They can answer it.

759
00:48:09.750 --> 00:48:11.370
We can sort them at least.

760
00:48:11.910 --> 00:48:12.410
So

761
00:48:13.030 --> 00:48:18.055
just to let you know, one more thing you can it sounds like you're familiar with the with the lead system, which is good.

762
00:48:18.115 --> 00:48:24.214
If you have leads that are not sold out or that haven't reached their total matches, their maximum matches,

763
00:48:25.315 --> 00:48:26.355
you you can,

764
00:48:26.915 --> 00:48:28.590
you know, you can resend them,

765
00:48:29.630 --> 00:48:33.070
the the email to remind them. But I understand what you wanna do.

766
00:48:33.070 --> 00:48:38.110
You wanna quickly look in the search member so you can take other actions with them. Mhmm. Okay.

767
00:48:38.110 --> 00:48:42.255
Alright. Any other questions, Sean? Next question is, the the way this

768
00:48:42.815 --> 00:48:46.914
default setup of the branch directory is opposed to state and cities.

769
00:48:47.214 --> 00:48:51.474
Are we able I mean, that's a pretty good question, but are we able to add counties

770
00:48:51.934 --> 00:48:53.134
by default also?

771
00:48:53.134 --> 00:49:01.020
So for example, if I'm in California, it goes to the Los Angeles County and Orange County and then goes to, say, LA or and the Burbank.

772
00:49:01.400 --> 00:49:07.020
Do we have that function as a part of the Burbank directly, or manually we have to do that?

773
00:49:07.080 --> 00:49:12.424
You may need to manually do it. Let me check the SEO templates. I think it's country, state, city.

774
00:49:12.605 --> 00:49:16.664
I think it's country, state, city. I don't think there's a county,

775
00:49:18.484 --> 00:49:20.424
in the, the naming convention

776
00:49:21.045 --> 00:49:24.025
for these. Let me just search county real quick. Country.

777
00:49:24.540 --> 00:49:27.520
Let me see here. Yeah. I don't think I think it gets

778
00:49:27.980 --> 00:49:30.080
it does the what I just said, countries,

779
00:49:30.540 --> 00:49:32.800
states, city, those those three.

780
00:49:34.460 --> 00:49:38.880
You might need to just on certain counties you're trying to target, you could create,

781
00:49:40.595 --> 00:49:45.095
some some static web pages from those or in some capacity, things like that.

782
00:49:45.315 --> 00:49:49.575
The last one, this is you mentioned something about the you're gonna add the reviews,

783
00:49:50.115 --> 00:49:51.015
build the program

784
00:49:51.395 --> 00:49:54.535
to the API for the cloud, the fusion API.

785
00:49:54.800 --> 00:49:59.700
Is there Zapier able to add that one to the brilliant directive?

786
00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:03.940
Yes. So when yeah. Yeah. So so that's a good question. So when this is released,

787
00:50:04.720 --> 00:50:08.000
you'll be able to if you're a developer, you can use the API directly.

788
00:50:08.000 --> 00:50:11.494
If you're a beginner, you're gonna wanna use a a Zapier or a Pabbly.

789
00:50:11.875 --> 00:50:12.615
But basically,

790
00:50:12.915 --> 00:50:23.815
you can collect reviews or if you have reviews from other sources on the Internet or in an Excel sheet or a a third party form you're using, and then you can add that review to a specific member,

791
00:50:24.440 --> 00:50:27.019
through those Zapier workflows or with the API.

792
00:50:27.559 --> 00:50:31.079
Absolutely. Absolutely. Thank you very much, William. Alright. Thank you, Sean.

793
00:50:31.079 --> 00:50:33.240
Thanks for the questions there. Good stuff there.

794
00:50:33.240 --> 00:50:37.855
It looks sounds like Sean's doing some good stuff with his site. Alright. We have Jean Michel.

795
00:50:37.915 --> 00:50:41.375
Let me unmute your microphone. I believe calling from Quebec.

796
00:50:41.835 --> 00:50:42.734
Hi, Justin.

797
00:50:43.035 --> 00:50:43.855
How are you?

798
00:50:44.315 --> 00:50:46.815
Good. Good. Thank you. It's very helpful.

799
00:50:47.994 --> 00:50:50.575
So I have a question about the Google Maps.

800
00:50:51.275 --> 00:50:51.775
My

801
00:50:52.590 --> 00:50:54.130
directory is about cycling,

802
00:50:54.830 --> 00:51:00.130
in general, and, I'd like to know if it's possible instead of, like, pins,

803
00:51:00.670 --> 00:51:05.250
for one of the features to, like, display, for example, a cycling route on the map.

804
00:51:05.615 --> 00:51:08.674
To display the route the cycling route?

805
00:51:08.974 --> 00:51:09.875
Yeah. Yes.

806
00:51:10.415 --> 00:51:10.915
Okay.

807
00:51:12.174 --> 00:51:14.434
And you so it's gonna be a Google Map,

808
00:51:14.734 --> 00:51:16.515
and it just has the directions

809
00:51:17.694 --> 00:51:19.155
of a pat one pathway

810
00:51:19.615 --> 00:51:20.915
mapped out, you're saying?

811
00:51:21.240 --> 00:51:22.200
Yeah. I mean,

812
00:51:23.960 --> 00:51:24.460
usually,

813
00:51:25.640 --> 00:51:26.760
cyclists have,

814
00:51:28.040 --> 00:51:31.180
they can like, for example, the the person who's gonna submit,

815
00:51:32.360 --> 00:51:35.080
the route is gonna have a file with,

816
00:51:36.265 --> 00:51:37.085
with the

817
00:51:37.385 --> 00:51:40.525
route. I'm just wondering if with Berlin directories,

818
00:51:40.905 --> 00:51:42.345
it's possible to,

819
00:51:42.825 --> 00:51:43.325
have

820
00:51:43.865 --> 00:51:49.005
this, map feature to display the route instead of just the the starting location.

821
00:51:49.680 --> 00:51:54.000
Right. So okay. So I'm looking at Google Maps right now. Is this a new thing you're asking?

822
00:51:54.000 --> 00:51:54.980
So here's,

823
00:51:55.680 --> 00:51:57.859
here's a route for example. Right?

824
00:51:59.200 --> 00:52:04.535
Yours would have certain stops. Right? Like, so it's I'm a because it's a very specific route.

825
00:52:05.555 --> 00:52:08.195
I I wanted to just you try something right now.

826
00:52:08.595 --> 00:52:10.615
I'm gonna go to chat g p t.

827
00:52:11.235 --> 00:52:14.515
Right now, we don't have anything like that, to do a specific route.

828
00:52:14.515 --> 00:52:18.859
It's just a pin drop of where a member is located and things like that. But,

829
00:52:19.740 --> 00:52:21.520
create Google map

830
00:52:21.980 --> 00:52:23.920
embed for my site

831
00:52:24.539 --> 00:52:25.039
showing

832
00:52:25.660 --> 00:52:26.160
this

833
00:52:26.460 --> 00:52:26.960
route.

834
00:52:27.420 --> 00:52:28.960
Let's see what it gives us,

835
00:52:30.645 --> 00:52:31.945
Come back to Google Maps.

836
00:52:32.325 --> 00:52:36.165
Open a route. Okay. Open the route in Google Maps. Use the link you provided.

837
00:52:36.165 --> 00:52:40.905
So you're gonna select the share. Okay. So, like oh, so you can do a route. There's a share option.

838
00:52:41.445 --> 00:52:46.320
Let's see. Is there let me look at this screen here. Do you see a share option?

839
00:52:47.900 --> 00:52:50.560
I'm looking to again, this is new. Let's see.

840
00:52:51.900 --> 00:52:52.400
Menu.

841
00:52:53.260 --> 00:52:57.180
It would be interesting that there if there would be. Do I have to select the route? Okay.

842
00:52:57.180 --> 00:52:59.840
So I select this route. There we go. I selected the route,

843
00:53:00.185 --> 00:53:01.244
and here's the

844
00:53:01.705 --> 00:53:04.605
share. Okay. Embedded map, and you have a iframe.

845
00:53:05.065 --> 00:53:08.845
And technically, you can put the iframe. I'm assuming your members would create a post

846
00:53:09.305 --> 00:53:10.205
of some sort.

847
00:53:10.665 --> 00:53:13.165
Yep. So you can you can support the iframe,

848
00:53:13.465 --> 00:53:14.285
in a post.

849
00:53:15.660 --> 00:53:18.000
Shall we do it together real quick? See if it works.

850
00:53:19.180 --> 00:53:23.839
You might need to unlock a couple things. Let let's do it together real quick.

851
00:53:24.059 --> 00:53:27.200
Is is this kind of the direction you're thinking?

852
00:53:27.500 --> 00:53:30.885
It's it's not exactly, but it it would work for,

853
00:53:31.845 --> 00:53:32.345
improving

854
00:53:33.444 --> 00:53:35.144
the, yeah, the

855
00:53:35.525 --> 00:53:36.025
visibility.

856
00:53:36.805 --> 00:53:39.704
Okay. Let's let's just come to the text editor here.

857
00:53:40.550 --> 00:53:45.690
Let's do insert the these you put the embed code here. Let's see if that works.

858
00:53:46.230 --> 00:53:47.270
Yeah. Let's see here.

859
00:53:47.270 --> 00:53:54.010
I might need to white list it because because there's, like, protections for your site to not allow iframe embeds from certain sources.

860
00:53:54.195 --> 00:53:56.135
Yeah. You just need to whitelist it. So,

861
00:53:57.075 --> 00:53:59.575
the way you do that is I'll share the article.

862
00:54:00.275 --> 00:54:01.335
Whitelist domains,

863
00:54:01.955 --> 00:54:02.455
iframe,

864
00:54:03.155 --> 00:54:03.655
directories.

865
00:54:04.915 --> 00:54:08.115
Okay. Here. How to whitelist and allow third party. Let me show you.

866
00:54:08.115 --> 00:54:09.870
There's a user friendly article here.

867
00:54:10.430 --> 00:54:12.530
Here we go. So this will allow you to do it.

868
00:54:12.910 --> 00:54:15.790
How to white lesson allowed third party iframes to be embedded within.

869
00:54:15.790 --> 00:54:18.370
So all you have to do is this. You just have to put the source.

870
00:54:18.590 --> 00:54:21.410
In this case, the source is, google.com,

871
00:54:21.710 --> 00:54:23.310
and, you would just do this.

872
00:54:23.310 --> 00:54:28.185
I will do I'll just let's take it to the finish line since we're racing here. Okay.

873
00:54:29.445 --> 00:54:29.945
Iframe,

874
00:54:31.445 --> 00:54:36.345
let's see here. Here we go. Allowed iframe sources. So let's do comma,

875
00:54:36.645 --> 00:54:38.105
google.com.

876
00:54:38.640 --> 00:54:39.619
Save the changes,

877
00:54:40.160 --> 00:54:42.260
and we'll try it again in the post.

878
00:54:42.960 --> 00:54:46.799
Let's go back to editing this post. Where was I? I got a little okay.

879
00:54:46.799 --> 00:54:49.940
Let me just log back into the member. We'll try it one more time here.

880
00:54:50.240 --> 00:54:51.460
So we'll go to

881
00:54:52.079 --> 00:54:52.579
events,

882
00:54:53.214 --> 00:54:54.035
new event,

883
00:54:54.734 --> 00:54:55.234
publish

884
00:54:56.175 --> 00:54:57.234
iframe test,

885
00:54:57.615 --> 00:55:00.815
and we'll come here. So you wanna choose the insert video. It's not a video.

886
00:55:00.815 --> 00:55:05.934
Technically, it supports any type of whitelisted iframe, and we'll save the changes again. Okay.

887
00:55:05.934 --> 00:55:08.480
The start date for the event. I hope it'll

888
00:55:08.860 --> 00:55:10.000
work. Let's view the post.

889
00:55:10.460 --> 00:55:13.200
There we go. Now it's it's embedded here technically.

890
00:55:13.740 --> 00:55:14.720
Yeah. Interesting.

891
00:55:15.260 --> 00:55:15.760
So,

892
00:55:16.460 --> 00:55:18.160
okay. There you go. Thank you, ChatGPT.

893
00:55:19.500 --> 00:55:23.440
Hopefully, that gets that provides some guidance for you there. Yeah. Thank you.

894
00:55:24.035 --> 00:55:26.295
Let me also share this advanced setting

895
00:55:26.675 --> 00:55:30.115
in the chat here. I got too many windows. It's called allowed iframe sources.

896
00:55:30.115 --> 00:55:33.175
What you do is when you're when you wanna put an iframe in your post,

897
00:55:33.475 --> 00:55:37.075
look at the the URL. So this is google.com.

898
00:55:37.075 --> 00:55:37.575
Right?

899
00:55:38.250 --> 00:55:42.090
And then we wanna put that into the list here, google.com.

900
00:55:42.090 --> 00:55:46.490
So I'll put this in the chat here. So, Jean Michel, you can add that if you like. Alright.

901
00:55:46.490 --> 00:55:49.630
I don't see any more hands up here. Guys, it was a super fun webinar.
