WEBVTT

00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:04.980
Alright, fam. Let's dive into things. Welcome to another edition of webinar Wednesday.

2
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:10.260
If this is your first time joining us, and I do see a lot of new names and faces out there, welcome.

3
00:00:10.559 --> 00:00:18.185
I'm Jason there on the left, and we are always lucky to be joined by David Rockland, the digital strategist and so much more here at Brilliant Directories.

4
00:00:18.185 --> 00:00:21.064
David, thank you for joining us this webinar. Hey, everybody.

5
00:00:21.064 --> 00:00:26.904
So glad to be back with you for another webinar Wednesday. Thanks for joining us on Valentine's Day.

6
00:00:26.904 --> 00:00:28.445
Happy Valentine's Day, everyone.

7
00:00:28.610 --> 00:00:34.470
We're really excited to dive into today's updates, especially one in particular, a brand new add on.

8
00:00:34.610 --> 00:00:39.510
Yeah, we got a fun exciting new add on. And yes, indeed, happy Valentine's Day to those

9
00:00:40.050 --> 00:00:41.110
of you out there.

10
00:00:41.425 --> 00:00:46.565
And those of you who are joining us on YouTube, welcome. We are streaming live on YouTube.

11
00:00:46.704 --> 00:00:51.285
The benefit of that is the replay of the webinar will be immediately available afterwards.

12
00:00:51.345 --> 00:01:00.540
We'll post it in the Facebook group and we also invite you to join and subscribe to our YouTube channel you can go to brilliantdirectories.com/youtube

13
00:01:00.540 --> 00:01:02.620

14
00:01:02.620 --> 00:01:08.960
It's a great way to get updated as soon as the webinar replays are available new tutorials the tips of the week

15
00:01:09.365 --> 00:01:10.265
and more.

16
00:01:10.884 --> 00:01:16.825
And also with the Facebook group if you're not part of that we do invite you to join all are welcome.

17
00:01:17.365 --> 00:01:20.505
It's a great way to ask questions about your own website,

18
00:01:20.965 --> 00:01:25.200
strategies other people are implementing, seeing what other people are doing and get feedback.

19
00:01:25.500 --> 00:01:31.280
I'm in there myself. It's a really positive and active group, so we invite everyone to join.

20
00:01:31.820 --> 00:01:37.039
You can ask technical questions, marketing questions, growth strategies, pretty much anything

21
00:01:37.595 --> 00:01:38.735
about your site.

22
00:01:39.035 --> 00:01:40.335
Some people share workarounds,

23
00:01:41.275 --> 00:01:43.675
feature suggestions, things like that in there.

24
00:01:43.675 --> 00:01:48.335
So we certainly invite everyone to join and you can go to brilliantdirectories.com

25
00:01:48.555 --> 00:01:49.755
forward /facebook

26
00:01:49.755 --> 00:01:52.015
and click on that blue join button.

27
00:01:52.390 --> 00:01:56.390
And I do see a lot of familiar names and a lot of new names out there.

28
00:01:56.390 --> 00:02:01.610
So for those of you joining for the first time, welcome. Just a little bit about webinar Wednesday.

29
00:02:01.990 --> 00:02:07.850
You know, we're very active here, at Brilliant Directories pushing new features and updates week after week.

30
00:02:08.095 --> 00:02:09.775
Thank you to you guys, the community.

31
00:02:09.775 --> 00:02:14.035
A lot of the suggestions come from your feedback and the ideas that you share with us,

32
00:02:14.415 --> 00:02:17.635
through support tickets in the Facebook group and other channels.

33
00:02:18.255 --> 00:02:23.795
So the webinar Wednesdays are really a good way for us to share some of the newer updates where

34
00:02:24.390 --> 00:02:28.970
that can actually help you grow your community where you can take actionable steps to

35
00:02:29.430 --> 00:02:35.370
accelerate your growth. And we cover things on topics such as increasing your traffic, converting,

36
00:02:35.750 --> 00:02:38.570
you know, visitors into paying members or free members,

37
00:02:38.985 --> 00:02:40.444
identifying revenue opportunities.

38
00:02:40.504 --> 00:02:45.245
One of my favorite, and I always mention it, is improving the navigation and flow of your website

39
00:02:45.784 --> 00:02:50.924
through design and good aesthetics. So if you have questions on any of these topics or anything else

40
00:02:51.350 --> 00:02:54.230
about your membership or directory website, please save them.

41
00:02:54.230 --> 00:02:59.850
We should have plenty of time towards the end of the webinar for a good quality q and a session.

42
00:03:00.230 --> 00:03:06.650
And speaking of updates, we have a good list of BD lab updates to share with you guys today.

43
00:03:06.975 --> 00:03:07.955
As David mentioned,

44
00:03:08.255 --> 00:03:13.315
we've mentioned this, in previous webinars, there is a new add on available now.

45
00:03:13.615 --> 00:03:18.835
It is the block traffic by country add on. If you have the VIP add ons club,

46
00:03:19.230 --> 00:03:24.270
this is automatically added to your site. It's disabled by default. You can enable if you choose it.

47
00:03:24.270 --> 00:03:32.290
We will cover it as the tip of the week today just to show you guys some of the use cases, the settings available and what you can do with it.

48
00:03:32.715 --> 00:03:37.695
Next one on the list here is the private chat messages. As you know,

49
00:03:38.075 --> 00:03:40.255
not too long ago, we enabled,

50
00:03:40.715 --> 00:03:44.415
we created the settings so you can access millions of stock photos,

51
00:03:45.115 --> 00:03:46.555
in your text editor.

52
00:03:46.555 --> 00:03:51.910
So if you're creating a blog post, you don't have to search the Internet to go fetch an image to accompany it.

53
00:03:52.129 --> 00:03:54.709
Now with the private member chat add on,

54
00:03:55.250 --> 00:03:57.170
you can enable stock photos.

55
00:03:57.170 --> 00:04:01.489
So as your members are chatting with each other, they can share photos with each other.

56
00:04:01.489 --> 00:04:08.055
And the fun part about this is there is access to the Giphy library so you can have those animated memes,

57
00:04:08.594 --> 00:04:11.974
similar to what you have on your cell phone or on what's WhatsApp and Facebook.

58
00:04:12.915 --> 00:04:13.814
You can now

59
00:04:14.275 --> 00:04:17.394
provide that to your members when they're chatting with each other.

60
00:04:17.394 --> 00:04:19.495
Let me show you how you can enable that.

61
00:04:19.930 --> 00:04:20.430
So,

62
00:04:20.810 --> 00:04:25.150
this one is tied to an add on. Let me show you which one first.

63
00:04:25.850 --> 00:04:27.389
The stock photo library.

64
00:04:27.530 --> 00:04:32.865
This allows you to have stock photos on the front end of your website for posts and things like that.

65
00:04:32.865 --> 00:04:37.285
We have extended this to be supported for the private member chat. So I'm going to,

66
00:04:37.745 --> 00:04:38.805
share this here,

67
00:04:39.264 --> 00:04:43.920
and I'll show you, how you can enable this if you are using the private member chat

68
00:04:44.400 --> 00:04:48.900
tools on your site. Give me one moment here. Let me get to that section.

69
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:50.180
Perfect.

70
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:53.300
So if you come to your advanced settings

71
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:57.165
and search for just the work stock should do it.

72
00:04:57.485 --> 00:05:01.085
So when you have the add on, you have the, enable stock photo libraries.

73
00:05:01.085 --> 00:05:09.265
You can choose the different text editors you want to enable this on, but now there'll be a new checkbox here to enable it for the private member chat messages.

74
00:05:10.365 --> 00:05:14.970
I put I think this is great to just have for for everyone. It just encourages your members,

75
00:05:15.510 --> 00:05:18.970
to create more content, user generated content more easily,

76
00:05:19.510 --> 00:05:22.250
on your website throughout. It'll make your site more,

77
00:05:22.710 --> 00:05:24.950
decorated with high imagery and things like that.

78
00:05:24.950 --> 00:05:36.455
But now you can enable this and of course, one of the perks that I like most about this is they'll be able to use Giphy so they can send funny things to each other if they're going back and forth and wanna share some things like that.

79
00:05:36.455 --> 00:05:39.194
Okay. This next one here is related to language.

80
00:05:40.220 --> 00:05:44.000
You know, over the last few years, we've gained a lot of users internationally,

81
00:05:44.620 --> 00:05:46.000
and some are using

82
00:05:46.780 --> 00:05:48.160
right to left language,

83
00:05:48.700 --> 00:05:51.600
such as Arabic, Hebrew and some other languages.

84
00:05:51.980 --> 00:05:54.300
In Chinese, maybe I could be right or wrong about that.

85
00:05:54.300 --> 00:06:00.375
But now the email templates will respect the right to left language format as well.

86
00:06:00.675 --> 00:06:05.254
Before it was still using the left to right in those cases. So whatever the website's

87
00:06:05.794 --> 00:06:11.710
language configuration is for left to right or right to left, the email templates will now support that as well.

88
00:06:11.710 --> 00:06:16.210
This next one here is related to member reviews and the overall rating.

89
00:06:16.750 --> 00:06:20.669
Up until now, the overall rating would go in increments of point five.

90
00:06:20.669 --> 00:06:25.570
So you can be one or one and a half stars or four and four and a half stars.

91
00:06:26.085 --> 00:06:33.305
Now the overall rating will round to the nearest single decimal so you'll see overall ratings such as 4.2,

92
00:06:33.525 --> 00:06:38.419
four point three, more accurate depictions of what the exact overall

93
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:44.020
rating is. It will stop at a single decimal so you won't see like 4.125

94
00:06:44.080 --> 00:06:48.720
or something like that but you will see more accurate like 4.1,

95
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:51.060
four point four and things like that.

96
00:06:51.425 --> 00:06:58.725
This last one here is a quality of life and if you use white text on your site, you may have had this issue.

97
00:06:59.265 --> 00:07:04.245
The text editors when you're actually creating the content on your site and we can go there together,

98
00:07:04.730 --> 00:07:09.150
they always have a white background. So if you wanted to have white text

99
00:07:09.530 --> 00:07:11.070
you actually could couldn't visually

100
00:07:12.090 --> 00:07:14.590
see the text in the text editor.

101
00:07:15.210 --> 00:07:16.430
So for example

102
00:07:17.435 --> 00:07:22.495
let's go here and start typing in text. So I'll just say my name is Jason.

103
00:07:22.715 --> 00:07:27.615
So we can see here the background of the text editor is white and the text is

104
00:07:28.235 --> 00:07:30.815
black. I can make the text red

105
00:07:31.330 --> 00:07:35.670
and we see red but when we make the text white we wouldn't see it.

106
00:07:35.970 --> 00:07:43.270
Now what we've done is and it's only in the text editor it's not going to be on the front end of the site, the front end of the site the the text will be white.

107
00:07:43.514 --> 00:07:48.014
However, when you set it to white, it's going to have a light gray background

108
00:07:48.555 --> 00:07:52.095
just so you as while you're working on your in the editor

109
00:07:52.475 --> 00:07:55.455
will be able to actually make out the text and see

110
00:07:55.830 --> 00:07:57.530
that it is there. So,

111
00:07:58.230 --> 00:07:59.530
if you're seeing gray,

112
00:08:00.070 --> 00:08:03.449
behind white text, just know that it's only gonna be in the editor.

113
00:08:03.669 --> 00:08:06.870
There won't be any gray background on the front end of your site.

114
00:08:06.870 --> 00:08:11.775
On the front end of your site, it will be the white text. So this was just a quality of life thing.

115
00:08:11.775 --> 00:08:16.035
So you can see the contrast of the white text in the text editors.

116
00:08:16.335 --> 00:08:19.315
And we do have a few features that are coming soon.

117
00:08:20.095 --> 00:08:25.795
Some of these are security related to help you address spam and moderate your sites better.

118
00:08:26.250 --> 00:08:29.290
The first one is to block disposable email addresses.

119
00:08:29.290 --> 00:08:33.690
A lot of people sign up to sites with not their real or authentic email addresses.

120
00:08:33.690 --> 00:08:37.070
There are a lot of services that provide disposable email addresses.

121
00:08:37.290 --> 00:08:41.870
So we'll be keeping an updated list and you can choose to enable this if you like.

122
00:08:42.225 --> 00:08:46.084
And it will just ensure that people are signing up to the to your site

123
00:08:46.385 --> 00:08:48.485
with their real email addresses.

124
00:08:49.265 --> 00:08:51.445
The next one here is mainly for moderation.

125
00:08:51.505 --> 00:08:55.185
You'll be able to search for duplicate values that your members share.

126
00:08:55.185 --> 00:08:59.350
So if you wanna see which members have the same email addresses, phone numbers,

127
00:08:59.890 --> 00:09:06.070
website addresses, things of that nature, and you wanna kind of moderate or or weed out duplicates or just,

128
00:09:06.610 --> 00:09:10.950
identify which are duplicates for other reasons, you'll be able to do this soon.

129
00:09:10.995 --> 00:09:15.095
And then also related to kind of moderation, you'll be able to search your members

130
00:09:15.555 --> 00:09:20.535
based on the IP country that they that they join. So currently, we show you the IP

131
00:09:20.835 --> 00:09:25.815
of members. We're going to pin that IP address. We're gonna geolocate it to a country.

132
00:09:26.250 --> 00:09:34.830
So then you can see really where not just the address your members have entered for their business but where they're actually interacting with your site from.

133
00:09:35.050 --> 00:09:40.695
This will allow you to kind of maybe identify nefarious activity on your site from unwanted sign ups.

134
00:09:40.775 --> 00:09:50.055
If you're noticing trends of sign ups from, you know, external countries, but it doesn't really represent the business that signed up to your site or the member and so on.

135
00:09:50.055 --> 00:09:52.315
So again, better moderation there.

136
00:09:52.375 --> 00:09:58.910
We also this is gonna be a huge update and we're working tirelessly on this, the newsletter update system.

137
00:09:59.370 --> 00:10:01.630
We're working on new features including

138
00:10:02.570 --> 00:10:04.510
scheduling newsletters for the future,

139
00:10:05.450 --> 00:10:05.950
excluding,

140
00:10:07.130 --> 00:10:12.075
certain smart lists. So you can send to certain smart list and exclude other recipients.

141
00:10:12.615 --> 00:10:19.515
And then segmenting and seeing better statistics after the email sends, opens, clicks, and being able to create smart list

142
00:10:19.895 --> 00:10:21.035
from those statistics.

143
00:10:21.500 --> 00:10:25.339
We are on the cusp of releasing that. It is a big update in the platform.

144
00:10:25.339 --> 00:10:31.120
We're gonna do a bit more thorough, QA, quality assurance before it goes live into the production

145
00:10:31.579 --> 00:10:34.320
mode, but we are hoping to have something released

146
00:10:34.635 --> 00:10:36.095
either by the February

147
00:10:36.315 --> 00:10:38.315
or at the March

148
00:10:38.315 --> 00:10:39.055
is our,

149
00:10:39.435 --> 00:10:42.475
object target objective for that release date on that.

150
00:10:42.475 --> 00:10:49.055
And after it's released, we'll probably do some minor tweaks on it just to really fine tune it once it's released into the wild.

151
00:10:49.350 --> 00:10:51.690
Also here we have one more stock photo

152
00:10:52.149 --> 00:10:55.769
library that we'll be adding to the list. Currently you can access

153
00:10:56.070 --> 00:10:58.410
millions of photos through Pexels,

154
00:10:58.950 --> 00:11:04.170
Pixabay and the Giphy library. We're gonna be adding one more Unsplash which is actually

155
00:11:04.735 --> 00:11:05.475
the supreme

156
00:11:05.855 --> 00:11:10.595
stock, free stock photo library that we're gonna gain access to and that's gonna increase

157
00:11:11.215 --> 00:11:13.155
the library that BD users

158
00:11:13.855 --> 00:11:18.480
have access to to about 10,000,000 plus images. So really excited about that one.

159
00:11:18.959 --> 00:11:19.459
And

160
00:11:19.839 --> 00:11:23.860
lastly, we mentioned this in the previous webinar. We got a lot of good feedback on it.

161
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:32.660
The ability for BD users to have access to business records and then choose to add those listings to their site with one click.

162
00:11:32.985 --> 00:11:35.305
It will be throttled, there'll be limits and things like that.

163
00:11:35.305 --> 00:11:41.005
We're trying to negotiate the best rates for the data from several data companies right now.

164
00:11:41.464 --> 00:11:49.550
After that process is complete, we're gonna have the interface inside of the admin area where BD users can search for businesses based on location,

165
00:11:50.250 --> 00:11:53.709
and categories. So if you wanna find chiropractors in Texas,

166
00:11:54.170 --> 00:11:58.670
you'll be able to see, there's a list. Let's say, you know, 8,000 results are found.

167
00:11:58.970 --> 00:12:07.905
And then based on the limits that you have, you can import a portion of that to, your site so you can populate your sites and it'll look seasoned, established,

168
00:12:08.765 --> 00:12:11.405
and more. So we're excited about that one.

169
00:12:11.405 --> 00:12:18.199
Things are moving a little slower than we want to on that, but we're gonna push for I think realistic would be a March, April release for that.

170
00:12:18.199 --> 00:12:20.779
So it might be a little premature to mention it in this webinar,

171
00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:25.660
but we are it is in the works and it is on the roadmap. And I think it's gonna be a game changer,

172
00:12:34.695 --> 00:12:38.154
business records, it should allow you to spin out sites a lot quicker.

173
00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:41.519
So these are the lab updates before we move on to the tip of the week.

174
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:51.040
If you have comments or questions about, either the new, the new updates that were released or what's coming soon, use the raise your hand feature.

175
00:12:51.040 --> 00:12:57.204
We could take a comment or two. I see Colette has her hand up here. There you go. Hi. How are you?

176
00:12:57.425 --> 00:13:02.324
Excellent. How are you doing? Good. Thank you. Jason, I wanted to follow-up on the reviews,

177
00:13:03.584 --> 00:13:04.964
option for posts.

178
00:13:05.345 --> 00:13:06.565
Is that in the pipeline?

179
00:13:07.589 --> 00:13:08.810
It is released

180
00:13:09.269 --> 00:13:10.810
being able to leave reviews,

181
00:13:11.350 --> 00:13:12.089
for posts.

182
00:13:12.630 --> 00:13:14.649
Let me let me show you,

183
00:13:16.230 --> 00:13:17.370
what you can do.

184
00:13:17.910 --> 00:13:21.209
There is an add on called star ratings for posts.

185
00:13:21.815 --> 00:13:24.875
Oh, excuse me. This is the wrong one. Let me do posts.

186
00:13:25.415 --> 00:13:26.235
One moment.

187
00:13:26.774 --> 00:13:29.995
Here it is. Star ratings for posts. I'll I'll put this in the chat.

188
00:13:30.375 --> 00:13:32.075
And there's a video on it, Colette.

189
00:13:32.454 --> 00:13:34.315
And what this allows you to do

190
00:13:34.830 --> 00:13:36.990
is leave reviews for posts.

191
00:13:36.990 --> 00:13:43.070
So if someone posts an event and then, you know, people can leave comments and rate it one through five and so on.

192
00:13:43.070 --> 00:13:47.975
So effectively, it does so this would work for that use case. Thank you.

193
00:13:47.975 --> 00:13:52.795
I must have missed that update. Thanks for that. You're very welcome. Thank you for the question.

194
00:13:53.095 --> 00:13:57.334
Alright. Good stuff there. We got Brad's hand up here. How are you doing, Brad? Good.

195
00:13:57.334 --> 00:13:59.755
How are you doing? Very good. Thank you very much.

196
00:14:00.214 --> 00:14:02.235
Okay. For the disposable email,

197
00:14:03.140 --> 00:14:05.240
thing that you're talking about, I believe,

198
00:14:06.420 --> 00:14:08.980
I haven't been able to be on the webinars as much recently.

199
00:14:08.980 --> 00:14:14.520
But did you mention something else that you had something that was gonna check for, like, invalid emails as well?

200
00:14:16.235 --> 00:14:20.735
When you send your your newsletters with the newsletter update,

201
00:14:21.115 --> 00:14:26.875
it's going to show you a list of invalid emails that are on your smart list.

202
00:14:26.875 --> 00:14:32.550
So there is going to be that and the re it's gonna show you the reason why it's an invalid email as well.

203
00:14:33.730 --> 00:14:36.370
It might be limited in the beginning with the error messages.

204
00:14:36.370 --> 00:14:38.230
It might just say, like, incorrect format,

205
00:14:39.170 --> 00:14:41.910
and things like that, but that will be one method.

206
00:14:42.290 --> 00:14:51.375
Like, if you want to run like, if you have a list of, like, 50,000 emails and you wanna, like, check do the email checker, I think there's dedicated tools for that.

207
00:14:51.595 --> 00:14:53.295
Is that what you're referring to mainly?

208
00:14:53.755 --> 00:14:56.075
I mean, I see how that would help other people.

209
00:14:56.075 --> 00:15:00.810
We don't we use a different email program as opposed to the the b d one.

210
00:15:01.130 --> 00:15:06.510
So it doesn't really apply to us, but our main concern is, like, when people are signing up.

211
00:15:07.050 --> 00:15:07.870
And so

212
00:15:08.250 --> 00:15:12.570
I actually just had a ticket in, and I just got the answer back a little bit ago.

213
00:15:12.570 --> 00:15:14.345
We were doing, like, a custom,

214
00:15:15.204 --> 00:15:17.385
like, form action URL

215
00:15:17.925 --> 00:15:24.105
on the sign up one, but they told us that it's, like, hard coded in and that one can't be modified in the advanced settings.

216
00:15:24.485 --> 00:15:28.264
But but, essentially, what we were doing is, like, sending it to a widget.

217
00:15:28.485 --> 00:15:31.360
The widget would do, like, a email validation

218
00:15:31.820 --> 00:15:35.600
check. And if it came back as good, it would, like, go through to the BD system.

219
00:15:35.900 --> 00:15:42.560
If it failed, we're gonna have it just, like, not even enter into the BD system and go to a webhook, so we had, like, a log of it.

220
00:15:42.915 --> 00:15:46.855
So, I mean, that might be something good that you could build in, and then you could always

221
00:15:47.235 --> 00:15:54.455
give people you know, let them plug in their own API key to do that checking so you're not it's not using all your credits and stuff.

222
00:15:54.770 --> 00:15:57.650
Right. Right. Right. Right. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. That's a good suggestion. Thank you.

223
00:15:57.650 --> 00:15:59.170
I'm I'm familiar with those tools.

224
00:15:59.170 --> 00:16:04.230
So they'll they'll check it on the fly in the email when someone is inputting it into the email field.

225
00:16:04.690 --> 00:16:07.910
Yeah. Because we did it, like, in the contact us form and,

226
00:16:08.755 --> 00:16:11.255
you know, some other ones, and we're doing that custom,

227
00:16:11.714 --> 00:16:15.095
like, form action thing. But I I guess when for, like, new accounts,

228
00:16:15.475 --> 00:16:17.955
it's you you can't modify it. Right.

229
00:16:17.955 --> 00:16:28.030
So for new accounts, if it's an invalid email, sometimes they do need to verify their email, and there's a message in their in their dashboard that says, you know, you need

230
00:16:28.490 --> 00:16:31.210
to verify your email in order to activate your account.

231
00:16:31.210 --> 00:16:35.790
So there's that doesn't solve the exact problem that you're referring to, but it is one,

232
00:16:36.170 --> 00:16:41.904
one method to ensure that people are putting their valid email, when they're signing up. Yeah.

233
00:16:41.904 --> 00:16:53.670
So and just and one more, like, related thing to that, because because if it's, like, an invalid, you know, it is kind of a pain when they sign up that to have to, like, delete it or whatever it is because those can be more, like, spam related and so forth.

234
00:16:53.670 --> 00:16:55.610
So that's what we are trying to accomplish. But,

235
00:16:56.230 --> 00:17:01.350
along the lines of what you talked about, the verification email, I had this down as something to ask you about too.

236
00:17:01.350 --> 00:17:06.795
So so people can sign up with, like, a legit email, and they click the verification link and they get through.

237
00:17:07.035 --> 00:17:11.455
But then when they go into their account, they can edit and change the email to something else

238
00:17:11.915 --> 00:17:16.795
in that is there any way you guys can build in, like, a new verification thing for that change?

239
00:17:16.795 --> 00:17:20.975
Because they could switch it to something else that they can't actually verify,

240
00:17:21.430 --> 00:17:26.150
and then that's, like, the the main email on your on their account, if you know what I mean. I do.

241
00:17:26.150 --> 00:17:35.805
One thing you could do again, it doesn't it's not a silver bullet, but you could set that that email field in there where the member can change it right now to be a read only field.

242
00:17:36.045 --> 00:17:40.065
So after they but doesn't allow them to change it if they made an error the first time.

243
00:17:41.085 --> 00:17:43.025
So it's not exactly a silver bullet,

244
00:17:43.405 --> 00:17:43.905
but,

245
00:17:44.525 --> 00:17:47.745
that is one thing you could do is is is disable it from,

246
00:17:48.125 --> 00:17:52.820
from allowing them to change it after they've inputted it. Okay. No. That's that's

247
00:17:53.300 --> 00:17:56.760
yeah. No. That's really good too. And then Let let me show you,

248
00:17:57.140 --> 00:17:58.440
where that is actually.

249
00:17:58.820 --> 00:17:59.320
Okay.

250
00:17:59.620 --> 00:18:07.434
So I was gonna say I have I have one more email thing I was gonna kinda wait until the end to ask, but it is semi applicable to this right now.

251
00:18:07.434 --> 00:18:10.174
But then I know I've been talking a little bit here.

252
00:18:10.715 --> 00:18:15.434
Yeah. Maybe let's save it for the q and a, though. But let me find this, read only form, field.

253
00:18:15.434 --> 00:18:17.115
Let's see if the chatbot can find it.

254
00:18:17.115 --> 00:18:21.455
I'll put it in the chat there if it gives us the correct answer, Brad. Oh, that was another thing.

255
00:18:21.649 --> 00:18:25.649
Is there any way you can give us the option to disable the chatbot?

256
00:18:25.649 --> 00:18:32.230
Because as nice that it is, it always kinda pops up and it's, like, going over top of stuff, and I'm always, like, minimizing it all the time.

257
00:18:32.610 --> 00:18:34.130
Fair enough. Fair enough. Let me,

258
00:18:34.934 --> 00:18:38.534
it should remember your choice to minimize it. So we'll we'll look into that.

259
00:18:38.534 --> 00:18:42.315
So, yeah, I feel you on that. I I actually feel that same way, Chapa.

260
00:18:42.695 --> 00:18:45.514
Minimize, remember. Okay. Thank you, Brad.

261
00:18:46.945 --> 00:18:50.250
But but to your point, let me see if there's a in-depth yeah.

262
00:18:50.250 --> 00:18:52.490
We talk about the read only field in this article.

263
00:18:52.490 --> 00:18:56.250
I'm just gonna share it with you here in the chat. Okay. Thank you. Alright. Thank you.

264
00:18:56.250 --> 00:19:00.010
Good stuff there, Brad. Alright. Let's see if we can get one more question here.

265
00:19:00.010 --> 00:19:03.055
Anyone's got their hand up? Sal's got his hand up. We'll take you, Sal.

266
00:19:03.055 --> 00:19:06.975
Sal, haven't you seen you in the webinars for a while? Yeah. Been flat out.

267
00:19:06.975 --> 00:19:08.755
Been flat out doing businesses.

268
00:19:09.375 --> 00:19:12.515
Okay. Good to see you. Yeah. Look. We

269
00:19:12.815 --> 00:19:15.315
we still have the biggest problem we have

270
00:19:15.649 --> 00:19:16.789
is SEO

271
00:19:17.409 --> 00:19:17.909
agencies

272
00:19:18.610 --> 00:19:19.110
because

273
00:19:19.490 --> 00:19:19.890
our,

274
00:19:21.409 --> 00:19:21.909
directory

275
00:19:22.690 --> 00:19:26.149
has got such a high at the moment, it's about a MOS

276
00:19:26.690 --> 00:19:27.190
60,

277
00:19:27.725 --> 00:19:31.345
Such a high authority that a lot of SEO agencies

278
00:19:32.045 --> 00:19:34.065
from all over the world are actually,

279
00:19:35.485 --> 00:19:39.265
doing and and we're getting up to a hundred new people a day.

280
00:19:39.805 --> 00:19:42.945
In one sense, it's good because we know that these people,

281
00:19:43.780 --> 00:19:47.320
have employed SEO people because they wanna grow their business

282
00:19:47.860 --> 00:19:48.520
and that.

283
00:19:49.140 --> 00:19:52.520
But the terrible thing for us is that we wanna

284
00:19:52.980 --> 00:19:53.640
you know,

285
00:19:54.020 --> 00:19:56.600
they put in a Gmail account

286
00:19:56.980 --> 00:19:57.860
that might only

287
00:19:58.455 --> 00:20:00.235
they may only use for,

288
00:20:01.174 --> 00:20:01.674
verification,

289
00:20:02.054 --> 00:20:06.395
and then that's it. It's finished. So so it goes in with a Gmail account,

290
00:20:06.775 --> 00:20:10.154
and then they verify it with that Gmail account,

291
00:20:10.534 --> 00:20:13.595
and then that's it. And the client

292
00:20:14.100 --> 00:20:16.040
that they've put into our directory

293
00:20:16.660 --> 00:20:20.200
has no idea that we that they are in the directory.

294
00:20:20.740 --> 00:20:21.780
They they totally

295
00:20:23.059 --> 00:20:28.280
No. Right. Right. I I'm with you, Sal. Totally understand. And this is exactly why we're creating

296
00:20:28.785 --> 00:20:34.005
the tip of the week that we're gonna have the black block traffic by country as well as

297
00:20:34.305 --> 00:20:38.165
these three tools here block disposable email addresses

298
00:20:38.545 --> 00:20:42.885
you can include and it's very common to block Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo,

299
00:20:43.185 --> 00:20:43.685
Outlook

300
00:20:44.090 --> 00:20:49.310
a lot of free email services people are gonna include in that because they want people to sign up with their business emails.

301
00:20:49.370 --> 00:20:54.010
I've noticed around the Internet sometimes when I'm filling out a form it says please use your business email.

302
00:20:54.010 --> 00:21:00.285
I try using my Gmail one and they're just they're tired of the spam so they just really insist on

303
00:21:00.665 --> 00:21:05.485
forcing it to be the business email. And basically that means not like a Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo,

304
00:21:05.785 --> 00:21:07.065
and things like that.

305
00:21:07.065 --> 00:21:11.760
So to combat that again there's never gonna be a silver bullet and that's why we're always

306
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:14.340
trying to do as much as we can to,

307
00:21:15.040 --> 00:21:15.940
to help mitigate

308
00:21:16.320 --> 00:21:18.260
the unwanted sign ups and traffic.

309
00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:23.940
These tools are really gonna help you especially the being able to search member IPs by country

310
00:21:24.345 --> 00:21:27.405
even though there's gonna be VPNs which allow people to circumvent

311
00:21:28.184 --> 00:21:33.645
the physical country they're visiting your fight your site from where it shows that they're using like a USA

312
00:21:34.745 --> 00:21:43.190
IP using the VPN and things like that but these tools are gonna give you a little bit more of an upper hand to moderate and combat some of those things.

313
00:21:43.190 --> 00:21:44.010
So I certainly,

314
00:21:44.470 --> 00:21:45.590
hear you out there, Sal.

315
00:21:45.590 --> 00:21:51.530
And, that's kinda why we're moving forward, with these with these simple updates that are really gonna empower the website owners.

316
00:21:51.755 --> 00:21:53.215
So we're excited about that.

317
00:21:53.355 --> 00:21:57.355
We'll take one more question here just because I see Ronnie's hand up here. Hi there.

318
00:21:57.595 --> 00:21:59.755
I just wanted to attest to the problem.

319
00:21:59.755 --> 00:22:06.010
We had a huge problem with people that aren't even in our niches going in and trying to do listings,

320
00:22:06.470 --> 00:22:10.950
for the same thing, SEO companies that and we would call some of the companies and they go, woah.

321
00:22:10.950 --> 00:22:14.250
We didn't even know we were there. So we put a $1 verification

322
00:22:14.550 --> 00:22:16.330
charge on there. It stopped it immediately.

323
00:22:16.845 --> 00:22:20.044
Thank you for sharing that. That's that's amazing, Ronnie. Yeah.

324
00:22:20.285 --> 00:22:24.865
You know, it's nice to have free sign ups because it encourages and makes it easy and makes it frictionless.

325
00:22:25.485 --> 00:22:28.385
But if you're noticing and if you go on fiverr.com,

326
00:22:28.445 --> 00:22:32.640
there's just companies out there that say I will list your company on thousands of websites.

327
00:22:32.700 --> 00:22:36.960
They're just making lists of websites out there that allow you to make free profiles.

328
00:22:37.019 --> 00:22:40.240
So if you're noticing that trend on your site,

329
00:22:40.940 --> 00:22:42.880
moderating listings is is useful.

330
00:22:43.275 --> 00:22:44.715
A $1 charge.

331
00:22:44.715 --> 00:22:49.695
Again, it adds a bit of friction, but it helps you maintain the authenticity of the sign ups.

332
00:22:49.835 --> 00:22:52.635
And then again, these tools that we're putting in place here,

333
00:22:53.035 --> 00:22:57.055
are gonna definitely help you guys out. And I think that's a perfect segue, David.

334
00:22:57.200 --> 00:22:59.860
We can move on to the tip of the week.

335
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:04.740
The new add on is released again. If you have the VIP add ons club, you automatically

336
00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:09.380
have this available on your site. It's the ability to block traffic

337
00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:11.135
by country. And,

338
00:23:11.595 --> 00:23:13.595
David, if it's okay with you, I'll pass it over.

339
00:23:13.595 --> 00:23:17.135
You can tell us a bit more about the benefits and how this new add on

340
00:23:17.515 --> 00:23:17.995
works. Yeah.

341
00:23:17.995 --> 00:23:25.700
This is a feature that's been discussed by quite a few users for really one specific use case, but it does have several,

342
00:23:26.100 --> 00:23:28.660
features and benefits that we'll run through real quick.

343
00:23:28.820 --> 00:23:33.480
And then we'll also show you a quick demo of how it actually works in practice.

344
00:23:33.780 --> 00:23:37.875
So going over the key features and benefits here, you can use it one of two ways.

345
00:23:37.955 --> 00:23:41.095
You can block traffic from specific countries.

346
00:23:41.155 --> 00:23:45.815
So, you can specify individual countries that you don't want to allow visitors

347
00:23:46.115 --> 00:23:47.815
from to access your website.

348
00:23:48.275 --> 00:23:49.655
Or, you can allow traffic

349
00:23:50.035 --> 00:23:51.575
only from specific

350
00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:54.860
countries. So, you can make it work one of two ways.

351
00:23:55.240 --> 00:24:00.120
Also, the way website visitor locations are determined is by their IP address.

352
00:24:00.120 --> 00:24:03.340
So, you know, VPNs have become a little bit more popular

353
00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:05.960
lately. Most people still aren't using them.

354
00:24:05.960 --> 00:24:11.174
So, it is still relatively reliable to, determine a visitor's location by their IP address.

355
00:24:11.174 --> 00:24:14.775
But, just something to keep in mind that, it's not 100%

356
00:24:14.775 --> 00:24:15.275
foolproof

357
00:24:15.655 --> 00:24:21.570
in case someone might happen to use a VPN to show their location as being somewhere they're not.

358
00:24:21.730 --> 00:24:28.070
But with this, add on, it could also improve security by denying access from specific high risk countries.

359
00:24:28.210 --> 00:24:31.269
And in that same vein, reduce spam by blocking traffic

360
00:24:31.570 --> 00:24:32.230
from countries

361
00:24:32.690 --> 00:24:35.255
known for spam. Really, you don't want to,

362
00:24:35.635 --> 00:24:39.815
kind of block as many countries as possible. But, if on your website you're noticing

363
00:24:40.515 --> 00:24:43.015
spam or some nefarious activity

364
00:24:43.395 --> 00:24:48.760
from users in specific countries, then at that point, you might want to utilize,

365
00:24:49.220 --> 00:24:54.360
the tool within this add on here and block traffic from that specific country.

366
00:24:54.580 --> 00:25:11.145
In doing so, if you happen to notice, you know, a lot of spam signups from a specific country that you're not necessarily targeting, then blocking all traffic from that country can, in some cases, end up saving website resources such as bandwidth, storage, your member limit, things like that.

367
00:25:11.445 --> 00:25:16.809
And this add on is pretty simple. There's only a few settings, really just one setting.

368
00:25:17.110 --> 00:25:20.470
You could disable it or like I mentioned there's two ways to use it.

369
00:25:20.470 --> 00:25:23.530
You can only allow traffic from specific countries

370
00:25:23.910 --> 00:25:32.394
and then you can select the specific countries that you want to allow access to your website from or you can block traffic from specific countries.

371
00:25:32.394 --> 00:25:39.134
So, if you have again, if you happen to notice a lot of spam coming from one country in particular, you can block all traffic

372
00:25:39.610 --> 00:25:40.429
from that country.

373
00:25:40.570 --> 00:25:45.950
And, this does totally block access to your website from visitors of those specific countries

374
00:25:46.330 --> 00:25:47.710
that you've specified.

375
00:25:48.090 --> 00:25:49.549
You can see here in this screenshot,

376
00:25:50.169 --> 00:25:54.215
if somebody's trying to access your website from a country that you have blacklisted,

377
00:25:54.515 --> 00:25:59.095
they'll be presented with this forbidden four zero three error. So, they won't be able to access

378
00:25:59.395 --> 00:26:04.215
any aspect of your website at all. You really do wanna use this add on sparingly

379
00:26:04.515 --> 00:26:08.470
if you are going to be using it. One thing you do want to keep in mind

380
00:26:08.770 --> 00:26:19.514
is that even if you are targeting a single country, say, for example, you have a Canadian website, you only care about visitors from Canada coming to your website.

381
00:26:19.514 --> 00:26:25.375
So you might be thinking, well, I'll just block all traffic from visitors who aren't located in Canada.

382
00:26:25.514 --> 00:26:37.720
You might have legitimate Canadians trying to access your website who might be traveling at the time, might be out of the country, maybe they live part time in The US, or maybe they work in The US, so they're going back and forth over the border.

383
00:26:37.940 --> 00:26:47.515
And in that case, they might be trying to access your website from a non Canadian IP address, and they'll be wrongfully blocked from accessing your website in that case.

384
00:26:47.655 --> 00:26:51.835
So, that's one thing to keep in mind. Also, if you happen to work with,

385
00:26:52.215 --> 00:27:04.140
a team of people or maybe a developer located in another country, you wanna make sure that the country that your team members or anybody else you're working with is not on your block list.

386
00:27:04.140 --> 00:27:07.200
Otherwise, they won't be able to access, the website.

387
00:27:07.580 --> 00:27:15.144
Search engines, Google, Bing, a lot of other online tools that crawl your website, they might crawl your website from IP addresses

388
00:27:15.524 --> 00:27:20.825
that might be in countries that you have on your block list. If, say, for example,

389
00:27:21.205 --> 00:27:26.184
you have a Australian website and you block all traffic from websites

390
00:27:26.670 --> 00:27:27.890
other than Australia,

391
00:27:28.350 --> 00:27:36.210
if Google has some servers in The US that are trying to crawl and scrape your website, then you might be blocking access to your website from Google.

392
00:27:36.270 --> 00:27:38.930
And, of course, you can always block and unblock countries

393
00:27:39.230 --> 00:27:39.730
temporarily

394
00:27:40.510 --> 00:27:44.555
as needed. So, if out of the blue, you start to notice an influx

395
00:27:44.935 --> 00:27:50.795
in spam from a specific country and you're not targeting any users in that country, it's far away.

396
00:27:50.935 --> 00:27:55.195
Maybe at that point, you wanna place that country on your block list

397
00:27:55.630 --> 00:28:01.230
and then remove that country again in a week or maybe a month. See if that spam persists.

398
00:28:01.230 --> 00:28:03.470
If it does, you can leave the country on your block list.

399
00:28:03.470 --> 00:28:07.150
If not, there's no harm in removing it from your block list.

400
00:28:07.150 --> 00:28:11.575
Again, even if you're not necessarily targeting users in that specific country.

401
00:28:11.875 --> 00:28:20.995
So, really the most practical use case here with this add on is to block countries that are delivering spam to your website or you're seeing some other nefarious activity from.

402
00:28:20.995 --> 00:28:26.830
When that spam stops, then at that point, you might want to revisit your block list and remove those countries.

403
00:28:27.210 --> 00:28:30.170
Make sure that, that the spam no longer persists.

404
00:28:30.170 --> 00:28:33.290
And, if it's not, you can leave that country off the block list.

405
00:28:33.290 --> 00:28:36.170
But, there's a lot of caveats you do want to consider.

406
00:28:36.170 --> 00:28:39.325
But, really, if you're noticing a lot of spam from a specific country

407
00:28:39.625 --> 00:28:42.345
that's the primary use case for this add on.

408
00:28:42.345 --> 00:28:52.920
Yeah and I like, the second to last point here you can always block and unblock countries based on the unwanted traffic or sign up that you're getting and when you can identify that the trend is coming,

409
00:28:53.380 --> 00:28:58.500
from IP addresses of a certain country. And then after a period of time, you can unblock it.

410
00:28:58.500 --> 00:29:01.000
Same as if you're working with team and staff members.

411
00:29:01.195 --> 00:29:06.895
Maybe you're working with a developer for a month, who may be in a country that generally you are blocking the traffic from.

412
00:29:07.115 --> 00:29:12.255
You can unblock that country maybe for the time that you're working with the developer or a staff member,

413
00:29:12.555 --> 00:29:15.215
and then block it again after that work is completed.

414
00:29:15.620 --> 00:29:17.140
Let's dive into this. Let's have some stuff.

415
00:29:17.140 --> 00:29:21.540
Let's block some countries from a website and see how this all works.

416
00:29:21.540 --> 00:29:24.360
So let's go into the admin area.

417
00:29:24.740 --> 00:29:29.800
The settings for this are going to be under your general settings. So we'll go to settings,

418
00:29:30.465 --> 00:29:31.365
general settings,

419
00:29:32.065 --> 00:29:34.164
and it's going to be under the localization

420
00:29:34.544 --> 00:29:38.965
tab. And this tab is where you set your website language, your time and date format.

421
00:29:39.505 --> 00:29:45.690
And when you have this add on, you will see this new field here, lock traffic by country,

422
00:29:46.230 --> 00:29:48.630
and what you'll have are three basic settings.

423
00:29:48.630 --> 00:29:51.529
It's going to start blank and disabled just like this.

424
00:29:51.909 --> 00:29:57.210
Disable setting. So if you select only allow traffic from and I did

425
00:29:57.745 --> 00:29:58.645
United States

426
00:29:59.184 --> 00:30:04.145
that means only people visiting my site from United States IP addresses can view my site.

427
00:30:04.145 --> 00:30:08.885
My website to the rest of the world will appear disabled turned off.

428
00:30:09.025 --> 00:30:11.365
They're not going to use any bandwidth any resources.

429
00:30:11.905 --> 00:30:17.330
The site doesn't exist to any other countries besides The United States Of America in this case.

430
00:30:17.470 --> 00:30:23.070
So again, be careful with this setting unless you're 100% sure maybe you don't care about SEO and Google and Bing.

431
00:30:23.070 --> 00:30:26.770
There's lots of private membership networks out there who are local.

432
00:30:26.945 --> 00:30:35.365
They don't care about search engine optimization and things like that, and they'll be perfectly fine with just keeping their website contained within one or two countries.

433
00:30:35.585 --> 00:30:38.965
And this setting would be for you. Again, use with caution.

434
00:30:39.450 --> 00:30:41.850
The next setting would be block traffic from.

435
00:30:41.850 --> 00:30:46.909
So this will allow traffic from all countries except the ones that you

436
00:30:47.210 --> 00:30:52.590
have listed. So in this example, what we're going to do is there's a tool called Geo Peaker.

437
00:30:52.965 --> 00:30:58.025
Basically pings your site from multiple locations around the world, and it shows you the status.

438
00:30:58.485 --> 00:31:00.885
Sometimes it says, it can't render the site.

439
00:31:00.885 --> 00:31:06.985
It's the the tool is 80% reliable, but let's just click go before we block any countries.

440
00:31:07.300 --> 00:31:10.020
Virginia here got a render unavailable. That doesn't mean the site's offline.

441
00:31:10.020 --> 00:31:12.100
It's just the tool couldn't fetch it in this instance.

442
00:31:12.100 --> 00:31:15.880
So we can see here Brazil, Ireland, Australia, and Singapore,

443
00:31:16.900 --> 00:31:18.520
they've all been able to render.

444
00:31:18.660 --> 00:31:23.274
Let's block Singapore and Brazil just because they're the two options here from this tool.

445
00:31:23.575 --> 00:31:24.794
So we'll type in

446
00:31:25.095 --> 00:31:25.595
Singapore

447
00:31:26.215 --> 00:31:26.955
and Brazil

448
00:31:27.414 --> 00:31:28.794
and we'll save the changes.

449
00:31:29.335 --> 00:31:31.674
So if we run this tool again, GeoPeker,

450
00:31:32.340 --> 00:31:36.280
it should show that forbidden error. Let's run this one more time

451
00:31:36.660 --> 00:31:40.980
that the site simply doesn't exist. So Ireland's good to go. Australia.

452
00:31:40.980 --> 00:31:43.860
So here we could see the forbidden area. Australia, Ireland.

453
00:31:43.860 --> 00:31:46.580
Don't know why these ones are having an issue. It's just a tool here.

454
00:31:46.580 --> 00:31:48.415
But if we click on Brazil here,

455
00:31:48.795 --> 00:31:52.175
the web page is saying you don't have permission to access this resource.

456
00:31:52.395 --> 00:31:55.135
This basically usually means that the website is offline,

457
00:31:55.595 --> 00:31:57.455
for those people who are visiting.

458
00:31:57.515 --> 00:32:02.670
And again, the benefit of this, it uses absolutely zero bandwidth or resources of your site.

459
00:32:02.750 --> 00:32:05.490
The visitor is instantly being blocked and rejected.

460
00:32:06.110 --> 00:32:09.650
Same thing with Singapore here. It says you don't have permission

461
00:32:10.190 --> 00:32:11.890
to access the site.

462
00:32:12.270 --> 00:32:18.495
So let's do the inverse now. Let's switch from block traffic from and only allow traffic from.

463
00:32:18.655 --> 00:32:22.335
And we can see here Ireland and Australia were able to access it.

464
00:32:22.335 --> 00:32:25.875
So let's do the inverse now and we'll save the changes

465
00:32:26.415 --> 00:32:28.995
and we'll run the Geo Peaker one more time.

466
00:32:29.135 --> 00:32:34.115
So in this case only traffic from Singapore and Brazil are going to be allowed.

467
00:32:34.600 --> 00:32:37.740
And we could see Ireland is showing the forbidden error now.

468
00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:41.159
Australia the same and we can see Brazil. There we go.

469
00:32:41.159 --> 00:32:45.019
So Singapore and Brazil were able to load successfully here.

470
00:32:45.399 --> 00:32:48.279
And then we can disable the setting. You can always disable it.

471
00:32:48.279 --> 00:32:57.905
So if you have a set of countries saved again, maybe you're temporarily using this tool and you have a nice list of your good countries or bad countries, whatever you wanna call them, target countries or non target countries.

472
00:32:58.205 --> 00:33:05.230
So if we disable this setting, disabling the setting basically turns off the add on even if you have some safe countries here.

473
00:33:05.230 --> 00:33:10.130
And of course, if you want to remove countries, you can just x them out or you can add countries

474
00:33:10.590 --> 00:33:13.950
as needed. So that basically is the add on.

475
00:33:13.950 --> 00:33:23.035
If you're seeing unwanted sign ups on your site, especially if you're regionally specific, you could just go ahead and block certain countries that you think are bringing you unwanted traffic.

476
00:33:23.735 --> 00:33:28.075
And with that, we can move on to the questions and answers.

477
00:33:28.375 --> 00:33:32.799
This is a great time to raise your hand if you have a a comment about something we talked about.

478
00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:36.500
If you need some help on your website, we can help you troubleshoot some issues,

479
00:33:37.120 --> 00:33:39.779
and we can help you move forward with your project.

480
00:33:40.159 --> 00:33:44.720
So feel free to raise your hand and let's see who, we can help out here. Let's see.

481
00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:49.475
Roger's got his hand up here. How's it going? Where are you calling in from? Hi. From Wisconsin.

482
00:33:49.615 --> 00:33:53.695
I was on your last call too, and you were very helpful with, two or three things.

483
00:33:53.695 --> 00:34:05.270
I'm still trying to get some launched here, and, in fact, I purchased a couple more since then because I I keep wanting to add more sites, but I still gotta get get the other ones up and running.

484
00:34:05.410 --> 00:34:07.350
I had built a custom form,

485
00:34:07.809 --> 00:34:09.750
and then when I went to test it,

486
00:34:10.050 --> 00:34:14.869
when I made a small one, it worked just fine. But then when I, made a full size one,

487
00:34:15.665 --> 00:34:21.525
soon as I went to fill it out to test it, it pops up a it says a connection error occurred while saving.

488
00:34:21.585 --> 00:34:23.125
Please try to save again,

489
00:34:23.665 --> 00:34:28.565
and I can't get that to go away and to Can we take a look at your site real quick?

490
00:34:29.090 --> 00:34:33.830
Yeah. Okay. Let's visit this together and see if we can help you troubleshoot that. Okay.

491
00:34:34.130 --> 00:34:38.310
I think I know what the issue may be, so hopefully we can address it quickly for you.

492
00:34:38.530 --> 00:34:43.375
Well, I would thought possibly it's because it's not live yet, but I I don't know. Sure. Sure.

493
00:34:43.514 --> 00:34:44.895
So this is an information,

494
00:34:45.355 --> 00:34:50.234
request form. This is a public form that people can fill out? Okay. Great. Great.

495
00:34:50.234 --> 00:34:52.655
Let's go to your form manager

496
00:34:53.034 --> 00:34:53.534
toolbox.

497
00:34:53.835 --> 00:34:54.655
Form manager

498
00:34:55.210 --> 00:35:00.590
and the info request. And did you clone a form to create this or did

499
00:35:01.050 --> 00:35:06.730
you create I started yes. I started with a basic contact form. Started with a basic contact form.

500
00:35:06.730 --> 00:35:09.635
Okay. That's basically what I wanted to check out here.

501
00:35:10.415 --> 00:35:14.915
I think what the issue may be is in the edit form settings. Let me just quickly check.

502
00:35:15.135 --> 00:35:16.915
There are you may have

503
00:35:17.375 --> 00:35:20.895
I'm assuming you may have fussed around with some of the developer settings.

504
00:35:20.895 --> 00:35:24.079
Let me just quickly launch a new form. We'll call it test form.

505
00:35:24.780 --> 00:35:25.280
We'll

506
00:35:26.540 --> 00:35:31.839
do the two minute test here on the webinar because I don't want to take up too much time, but we're going to have it match the same

507
00:35:33.180 --> 00:35:38.575
things here. This is our test form. I'm going to make sure that we're matching the same form control

508
00:35:39.595 --> 00:35:42.575
and let's just keep scrolling down. Here we go.

509
00:35:42.875 --> 00:35:45.775
Looks like you're missing the save action URL.

510
00:35:46.635 --> 00:35:50.490
Again, this is why it's called the Developer tab. I'm just going to paste this into your

511
00:35:50.890 --> 00:35:51.710
field here.

512
00:35:52.090 --> 00:35:54.910
And let's keep moving down. The ID is fine.

513
00:35:55.369 --> 00:35:59.850
And you're saving to users data. What you're gonna wanna do is save to the,

514
00:36:00.330 --> 00:36:04.990
like this one, the website context, because it's not creating a member. It's a public form.

515
00:36:05.585 --> 00:36:07.204
So we just want it to

516
00:36:07.744 --> 00:36:09.505
do like that. Yeah,

517
00:36:09.904 --> 00:36:11.845
and then everything else should be

518
00:36:12.224 --> 00:36:14.484
fine. So website contacts, ID,

519
00:36:15.025 --> 00:36:17.184
post, all right, let's save this form.

520
00:36:17.184 --> 00:36:21.020
This is your information request form, And we'll give it a shot together.

521
00:36:21.480 --> 00:36:21.980
Okay.

522
00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:22.760
Let's,

523
00:36:23.400 --> 00:36:25.020
just hard refresh the page.

524
00:36:25.480 --> 00:36:26.700
I'll just put Jason

525
00:36:27.560 --> 00:36:28.060
h

526
00:36:28.680 --> 00:36:29.980
and address,

527
00:36:30.600 --> 00:36:31.580
123

528
00:36:31.960 --> 00:36:32.940
Maple Lane.

529
00:36:33.635 --> 00:36:34.135
Okay.

530
00:36:34.835 --> 00:36:37.175
And the city, put Los Angeles,

531
00:36:37.954 --> 00:36:38.454
California,

532
00:36:39.155 --> 00:36:40.454
9018.

533
00:36:41.075 --> 00:36:42.855
We'll choose a few of these here.

534
00:36:43.395 --> 00:36:48.930
And it did not ask for an email address. Oh, here it is. I would make this a required field.

535
00:36:49.250 --> 00:36:49.750
Oh,

536
00:36:50.130 --> 00:36:50.950
yeah. Events,

537
00:36:51.890 --> 00:36:53.569
brilliantdirectories.com.

538
00:36:53.569 --> 00:36:56.470
I want to move that up since it's it could get overlooked.

539
00:36:56.690 --> 00:36:59.109
But, let's just save it and see if it processes.

540
00:36:59.970 --> 00:37:03.750
Required, state code required. Hey, we do have a state code here.

541
00:37:04.105 --> 00:37:05.165
It might be

542
00:37:05.785 --> 00:37:09.725
state code field required. Let's see what you have here for state code.

543
00:37:11.225 --> 00:37:14.925
Oh, there's a hidden field that's required. So that's why the wait, so

544
00:37:15.225 --> 00:37:15.725
let's

545
00:37:16.105 --> 00:37:21.440
remove this field or not make it required because it's a hidden field that no one's ever gonna be able to

546
00:37:21.820 --> 00:37:27.840
see it to fill it out. Let's try this one more time here. Just do a lot lot quicker here, Jason.

547
00:37:28.060 --> 00:37:31.040
And we'll do one, two, three. We'll just do LA,

548
00:37:31.755 --> 00:37:32.255
California,

549
00:37:32.954 --> 00:37:37.855
and we'll choose a couple of these and put the email j j j j dot com.

550
00:37:38.075 --> 00:37:42.974
Let's see if we can submit now. Thank you. There you go. So now Just like that.

551
00:37:43.835 --> 00:37:44.250
Yeah.

552
00:37:44.410 --> 00:37:50.830
What's what you might wanna send them to a thank you page, or replace the form with a message that those are some other options.

553
00:37:51.130 --> 00:38:03.964
But what happens now is because this is it's a public form on your site just like the contact us form this is a great way to like have applications or if you're doing contests on your site and you want to capture email addresses

554
00:38:04.424 --> 00:38:08.125
what the nice thing about this is it should be in your forms inbox now

555
00:38:08.760 --> 00:38:10.600
Here it is as an information request.

556
00:38:10.600 --> 00:38:17.340
I would use the email the the same, email form field system name, so it stores it here like these ones.

557
00:38:17.880 --> 00:38:19.900
But if we look at the view full inquiry,

558
00:38:20.694 --> 00:38:24.875
it'll show you what I entered. First name, Jason, address, city, postal code,

559
00:38:25.335 --> 00:38:28.635
the things I check marked. So all your answers are going

560
00:38:29.015 --> 00:38:30.315
to be here.

561
00:38:31.174 --> 00:38:35.255
I guess I didn't fill out the email when I did this last. I did jj@jj.com.

562
00:38:35.255 --> 00:38:39.090
But Yeah. I would check your form fields, make sure that they have good system names.

563
00:38:39.090 --> 00:38:43.109
I would use the same email system name so it stores it here properly.

564
00:38:43.730 --> 00:38:46.310
Yeah. Because that's kind of what it how it does it.

565
00:38:46.850 --> 00:38:49.694
And then what's nice is here's let me show you one more trick.

566
00:38:49.694 --> 00:38:58.434
You can filter your forms by the type of the form, like that was the information request form, and you can create a smart list so you can have

567
00:38:58.815 --> 00:38:59.315
information

568
00:38:59.615 --> 00:39:00.115
request.

569
00:39:00.350 --> 00:39:06.270
So now you have all the the emails of the people who filled out your information request form in one smart list.

570
00:39:06.270 --> 00:39:10.930
And with that smart list, you can send newsletters to them or, you know, send an email to them in bulk.

571
00:39:11.230 --> 00:39:13.710
You can export them and and all that good stuff.

572
00:39:13.710 --> 00:39:17.235
So it'll help keep things nice and segmented with the smart list.

573
00:39:17.615 --> 00:39:22.515
Super. Well, that was excellent. Thank you. And one other quick question. Is there,

574
00:39:23.215 --> 00:39:25.935
I'm trying to do the sign up where they,

575
00:39:26.255 --> 00:39:30.650
where they pick the product that they're the the service that they're gonna be re

576
00:39:31.369 --> 00:39:32.510
signing up for.

577
00:39:32.890 --> 00:39:40.990
And I've been playing around with that page, and I'm trying to figure out, do you have, an editor for duplicating the

578
00:39:41.375 --> 00:39:42.734
the items that are in there?

579
00:39:42.734 --> 00:39:48.035
I you had samples three samples on the page, and I was able to just quickly use

580
00:39:48.335 --> 00:39:50.595
those three to do some pricing.

581
00:39:50.734 --> 00:39:56.675
If by the chamber that I'm doing this for, it has, like, seven different options for pricing.

582
00:39:56.850 --> 00:39:58.310
So I wanted to duplicate

583
00:39:58.850 --> 00:39:59.350
those.

584
00:39:59.570 --> 00:40:05.330
And so I was trying to do it from the code side, you know, grabbing the code and pasting it down to get another one.

585
00:40:05.330 --> 00:40:07.190
But is there a shortcut to that?

586
00:40:07.650 --> 00:40:12.415
So, you're referring to the pricing plans when someone is joining the site?

587
00:40:12.415 --> 00:40:16.815
If you go look at it, yeah, if you go look at it, you'll see what I have so far. Okay. Yeah.

588
00:40:16.815 --> 00:40:18.914
If you're gonna have so you have these here.

589
00:40:19.454 --> 00:40:22.895
Yeah. Okay. So you're looking to add more, you're saying? Right.

590
00:40:22.895 --> 00:40:26.434
And I was trying to figure out how to do that from the code side.

591
00:40:26.799 --> 00:40:30.319
I didn't know if there was a shortcut for that. There is a shortcut for that.

592
00:40:30.319 --> 00:40:36.260
I'm gonna I'm not gonna do it on that your page, but I'm gonna show you one of the premade elements here on the sidebar.

593
00:40:36.720 --> 00:40:40.980
If we scroll to the bottom is one of the membership plans, and it's the same format.

594
00:40:41.359 --> 00:40:46.055
There you go. Just it's the same format as these other ones. That was that was it.

595
00:40:46.435 --> 00:40:50.915
So you can just you can yeah you could just keep dragging these in here. I did not see that before.

596
00:40:50.915 --> 00:40:54.720
Thank you. You're very welcome. Good stuff. That was it. Thank you so much.

597
00:40:54.800 --> 00:40:58.500
Yeah, appreciate the questions. Good stuff there, Roger. Busy working on a site.

598
00:40:58.800 --> 00:41:00.900
Alright, we see some other hands up here.

599
00:41:01.200 --> 00:41:04.420
Let's see. We got Teresa. Where are you calling in from, Teresa?

600
00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:06.420
Hi, Jason. I'm in Conshohocken,

601
00:41:06.720 --> 00:41:07.220
Pennsylvania.

602
00:41:07.825 --> 00:41:09.445
Alright. Thank you for joining the webinar.

603
00:41:09.825 --> 00:41:12.965
My pleasure. Thanks for having me. So I have a website,

604
00:41:13.425 --> 00:41:15.205
onecalibian.com.

605
00:41:15.345 --> 00:41:15.665
And,

606
00:41:16.225 --> 00:41:17.685
in the in the footer,

607
00:41:17.985 --> 00:41:19.365
I would like to add,

608
00:41:21.420 --> 00:41:26.800
my community sponsors logos with click through to their websites, but I'm not sure how to do that.

609
00:41:27.180 --> 00:41:32.400
Okay. Let's take a look at your site. You got some ads popping up here. So here's the footer area.

610
00:41:32.655 --> 00:41:37.795
Approximately how many logos do you think you're gonna be adding here? Is it like three or like 20?

611
00:41:38.255 --> 00:41:42.275
No. No. No. Eight to if I can have eight or 10 as the max.

612
00:41:42.815 --> 00:41:45.395
Okay. And you want them listed horizontally?

613
00:41:46.320 --> 00:41:46.820
Yes.

614
00:41:47.200 --> 00:41:49.700
No. I would rather have them, like, in one section

615
00:41:50.080 --> 00:41:53.300
with with a with a heading that says community sponsors.

616
00:41:53.840 --> 00:41:58.740
Okay. And do you want them to be, like, small like this text is or do you want them to be big logos?

617
00:41:59.120 --> 00:42:01.280
They can be bigger logos. Like, if you

618
00:42:01.965 --> 00:42:05.325
because I can show you. What I can do is I see you have a logo here.

619
00:42:05.325 --> 00:42:13.740
How about I add your logo down there and then you can you can duplicate it and then just replace it for the other logos that you're gonna add.

620
00:42:13.980 --> 00:42:14.480
Perfect.

621
00:42:14.780 --> 00:42:16.300
Okay. Let me let me just add yours.

622
00:42:16.300 --> 00:42:19.900
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to right click and get the image URL link.

623
00:42:19.900 --> 00:42:23.040
The image URL is your your logo link, just that.

624
00:42:23.340 --> 00:42:24.320
I'll go back here.

625
00:42:24.700 --> 00:42:28.160
Let's go to your footer menu. So we'll go to toolbox

626
00:42:28.460 --> 00:42:29.360
menu manager.

627
00:42:29.795 --> 00:42:37.635
This is gonna require just a small bit of HTML for the images that we're gonna put in there, but I'll try to make it as easy as possible for you.

628
00:42:37.635 --> 00:42:40.615
Yeah. So When you say HTML, I'm thinking Greek.

629
00:42:41.235 --> 00:42:44.375
I I understand. I'll try to make it as as simple as possible

630
00:42:44.995 --> 00:42:45.575
for you.

631
00:42:46.010 --> 00:42:53.069
So, let me scroll down here. We have your terms and let me just check this. What's going on here?

632
00:42:53.530 --> 00:42:54.569
Okay. Let me,

633
00:42:55.369 --> 00:42:56.510
give me one moment.

634
00:42:56.810 --> 00:43:00.829
Let me think of the best way to because there's a few ways to accomplish this. So

635
00:43:01.475 --> 00:43:02.215
we could,

636
00:43:02.755 --> 00:43:05.335
you said eight to 10 logos you're gonna have down there?

637
00:43:05.795 --> 00:43:06.295
Yeah.

638
00:43:06.675 --> 00:43:07.175
Okay.

639
00:43:07.635 --> 00:43:08.375
Let me

640
00:43:08.835 --> 00:43:10.375
clone this one for a moment.

641
00:43:10.835 --> 00:43:11.335
Okay.

642
00:43:11.955 --> 00:43:15.415
And let me clone one more time here.

643
00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:18.940
Okay. And is it just gonna be the logo image?

644
00:43:19.560 --> 00:43:22.700
Yes. It's gonna be a logo, and then I'm gonna add the the URL

645
00:43:23.160 --> 00:43:28.540
later. Okay. I'm gonna do this so you can do six of them in a row nicely. Okay. Would that be okay?

646
00:43:28.840 --> 00:43:31.260
So just give me a moment here.

647
00:43:31.695 --> 00:43:33.235
Oops. I want the image,

648
00:43:33.615 --> 00:43:37.055
URL. So you get the logo. You get the file name for the logo.

649
00:43:37.055 --> 00:43:42.275
I'll show you how to get that from your media manager as well because you're gonna upload the logos to your media manager.

650
00:43:42.735 --> 00:43:46.835
And what we're gonna do is we're going to create a link.

651
00:43:47.230 --> 00:43:49.490
So there's two things happening here.

652
00:43:50.030 --> 00:43:54.850
Okay. And that is basically it, but you're gonna want to open it in a new tab.

653
00:43:55.070 --> 00:43:57.550
And again, I'd hate to have to put the HTML in.

654
00:43:57.550 --> 00:44:01.214
So what's happening here, and I'm gonna break it down, I'm gonna put a new

655
00:44:01.515 --> 00:44:03.295
line. And what we're doing is

656
00:44:03.675 --> 00:44:05.035
we're opening a link.

657
00:44:05.035 --> 00:44:10.175
This is a an a tag is a link, and we're saying go to the website 1caribbean.com.

658
00:44:10.555 --> 00:44:18.890
Target blank means open it in a new window because if, you know, if they're on your footer on your website, you don't wanna take them away from your website you want it to open in a new window.

659
00:44:18.890 --> 00:44:19.790
Perfect. Generally.

660
00:44:20.170 --> 00:44:23.230
And then over here is the image and the src.

661
00:44:23.770 --> 00:44:28.329
This is the src equals with the quotes. This is the file name for the image.

662
00:44:28.329 --> 00:44:31.525
So let's go to your media manager real quick and I'll show you.

663
00:44:31.525 --> 00:44:36.325
You're going to upload these logos to your site, so they're they're hosted on your site.

664
00:44:36.325 --> 00:44:39.385
And when you add a logo to your site, you can right click here

665
00:44:39.925 --> 00:44:42.585
on any one of these images and hit copy URL

666
00:44:43.045 --> 00:44:46.265
and you'll get the URL. This is what you want to copy

667
00:44:46.690 --> 00:44:49.990
and then that's what we're putting inside of the SRC,

668
00:44:50.290 --> 00:44:54.790
inside the quotes. So this is the image and this is what the website link.

669
00:44:54.850 --> 00:44:58.290
And then we close the the a tag. The a tag closes here.

670
00:44:58.290 --> 00:45:00.550
Again, I don't want to give you confusing HTML,

671
00:45:00.905 --> 00:45:03.224
but this this, this is the best way to do it.

672
00:45:03.224 --> 00:45:06.365
Now let me save this real quick and let's see what it looks like.

673
00:45:07.065 --> 00:45:13.724
I'm gonna show you if I can make this just easy for you to just keep cloning that one, but changing the link and the image.

674
00:45:14.109 --> 00:45:18.770
So if we come here we could see that down here it says one Caribbean now, that's what we added,

675
00:45:19.070 --> 00:45:22.369
and if I click it it's going to open in a new tab here. So

676
00:45:22.670 --> 00:45:25.810
if we come back here and look for it, which is this one,

677
00:45:26.525 --> 00:45:31.985
and I separated it nicely for you just so you can have some space. If we clone this one,

678
00:45:32.365 --> 00:45:33.425
we'll click yes.

679
00:45:33.885 --> 00:45:38.580
So now there's two of them, and again you can drag this open it, right, this helps you a lot.

680
00:45:38.820 --> 00:45:43.160
Then if you if you get another sponsor just change the link to their website

681
00:45:43.620 --> 00:45:45.000
and change the image

682
00:45:45.460 --> 00:45:49.400
URL here. So I'll save this now and we should have two of your logos

683
00:45:49.700 --> 00:45:50.920
in the footer here.

684
00:45:51.255 --> 00:45:54.775
Let's just save it real quick. So now we have two logos here.

685
00:45:54.775 --> 00:45:57.674
So this this will allow for six to be evenly

686
00:45:58.295 --> 00:46:03.030
distributed across the bottom of your footer and they will all be the same width.

687
00:46:03.030 --> 00:46:07.590
So do you want should I keep these like this, or would you like me to remove them? No. No. No.

688
00:46:07.590 --> 00:46:08.230
If you can,

689
00:46:08.790 --> 00:46:12.970
go back to go back there, Jason. Yes. You can move that that row

690
00:46:13.670 --> 00:46:17.440
right under the the menu bar right there. Right right above the

691
00:46:18.045 --> 00:46:21.265
Okay. I think, yeah, there's just an extra space here. Let me check.

692
00:46:21.645 --> 00:46:26.704
Yeah. We can remove this one. This is just an extra empty one. Let's see if that does it for you.

693
00:46:27.085 --> 00:46:28.385
Let me just save this.

694
00:46:28.765 --> 00:46:32.150
And I think that should be clean enough for you to to work on that.

695
00:46:32.150 --> 00:46:35.370
Let me see what's creating this extra space here for you. One moment.

696
00:46:35.670 --> 00:46:38.490
Yes. We can remove that as well. So let's remove,

697
00:46:39.110 --> 00:46:40.490
this empty one here,

698
00:46:40.870 --> 00:46:42.090
and you should be

699
00:46:42.470 --> 00:46:48.295
okay with the spacing after that. Okay. So how can I bring that, the the the logos

700
00:46:48.675 --> 00:46:49.815
to the top?

701
00:46:50.195 --> 00:46:52.135
So they they appear first before

702
00:46:52.595 --> 00:46:53.435
the one coming

703
00:46:53.875 --> 00:46:55.175
yeah. No. No. No. So

704
00:46:55.715 --> 00:46:58.290
right. So we can we can move them to the top. That's actually

705
00:46:59.330 --> 00:47:04.930
makes it easier for you, actually. Let's do this. Okay. Just drag them to the top here. Okay. Good.

706
00:47:04.930 --> 00:47:07.430
Okay. And let me grab the other one.

707
00:47:07.490 --> 00:47:14.855
What we wanna do though is I'm I'm gonna add a menu item that is a separator, so it separates it from the rest of the menu.

708
00:47:14.855 --> 00:47:19.035
So I'm gonna add a menu item here, leave this blank on purpose.

709
00:47:19.895 --> 00:47:21.095
I'm just gonna do,

710
00:47:21.415 --> 00:47:22.395
something here.

711
00:47:24.339 --> 00:47:29.700
Clear fix clear. Okay. So let me refresh now for you, and then we'll see if this is in a good place.

712
00:47:29.700 --> 00:47:32.359
We can leave it, the way it is. Just a moment.

713
00:47:33.059 --> 00:47:34.200
That is perfect.

714
00:47:34.660 --> 00:47:39.595
I'm gonna go back there and play with it and add another space and add a text that says,

715
00:47:40.135 --> 00:47:41.675
I'll create a font size. Okay.

716
00:47:41.975 --> 00:47:44.375
Let me just add one one more space for you here.

717
00:47:44.375 --> 00:47:47.655
So there's a so it's not exactly touching the, the titles here.

718
00:47:47.655 --> 00:47:51.599
So we have a little better space here for you. Give it a little breathing room there.

719
00:47:51.599 --> 00:47:55.460
Okay, so just add so you can just repeat these six times then these ones

720
00:47:56.000 --> 00:47:56.500
or

721
00:47:56.880 --> 00:48:01.619
four more times. Yeah. Okay. That's perfect. Thank you so much. You're welcome.

722
00:48:01.680 --> 00:48:05.140
Good luck on your side. Looks great. All right. Good question there.

723
00:48:05.625 --> 00:48:07.805
Alright. Let me grab you here, Brad.

724
00:48:08.265 --> 00:48:09.085
Alright, Brad.

725
00:48:09.385 --> 00:48:14.345
Hey, Jason. First of all, your guys' sport is, like, awesome. Like, we send in a lot of tickets.

726
00:48:14.345 --> 00:48:19.065
You guys help us out so much. So thank you for making that an important part of your business.

727
00:48:19.065 --> 00:48:21.245
It it it's awesome. So Thank you.

728
00:48:22.400 --> 00:48:23.600
So the question I was,

729
00:48:24.080 --> 00:48:25.140
talking about earlier,

730
00:48:25.520 --> 00:48:28.500
and this is kinda one of the last major problems.

731
00:48:28.640 --> 00:48:31.620
I think we have to solve famous last words, of course. But,

732
00:48:32.560 --> 00:48:38.474
so when somebody signs up, we have them going into our external email program.

733
00:48:38.474 --> 00:48:39.375
We use ActiveCampaign.

734
00:48:39.755 --> 00:48:44.255
So also kudos on all the API stuff you've been doing. It's been helping us out a lot. So

735
00:48:44.875 --> 00:48:52.015
the main issue though is kinda what I was talking about earlier is we we send it over to our email program.

736
00:48:52.250 --> 00:48:56.349
But then when a user changes their email inside of brilliant directories,

737
00:48:57.450 --> 00:49:03.690
you know, we can catch the webhook, but it only shows, like, what the current email address is.

738
00:49:03.690 --> 00:49:09.925
And so we have no way to know if that was changed or if it's the same as before and and vice versa.

739
00:49:09.925 --> 00:49:16.665
So I know in in your activity log okay. I know what you need to you need to pass the user ID

740
00:49:16.965 --> 00:49:22.185
to your to the active campaign as well. I'm I'm I'm still following here. You are.

741
00:49:22.539 --> 00:49:23.039
So

742
00:49:23.500 --> 00:49:25.119
what we need to do

743
00:49:26.460 --> 00:49:33.599
is some the unique identifier for the member, the the thing that is is the normally, it's the email address, but if they're changing it,

744
00:49:33.900 --> 00:49:37.680
the user ID is something they definitely can't change in the system.

745
00:49:38.005 --> 00:49:41.705
Yeah. So if we notice that the user IDs

746
00:49:42.405 --> 00:49:46.185
the BD user ID and the active campaign user ID, whatever,

747
00:49:46.565 --> 00:49:48.505
custom field you created for that,

748
00:49:48.805 --> 00:49:52.025
if the emails don't match to update the active campaign

749
00:49:52.645 --> 00:49:53.785
email with that

750
00:49:54.830 --> 00:49:55.490
would be

751
00:49:55.870 --> 00:49:58.450
the workflow in my in my mind that I'm envisioning.

752
00:49:58.750 --> 00:49:59.250
Yeah.

753
00:49:59.390 --> 00:50:05.250
So granted this is more of our problem as opposed because you you did provide a great solution.

754
00:50:05.470 --> 00:50:06.850
We're using the same,

755
00:50:07.345 --> 00:50:09.685
email program for multiple directories.

756
00:50:10.065 --> 00:50:16.405
So, you know, user IDs can be shared amongst them. So just a like, I know in your activity log,

757
00:50:16.945 --> 00:50:20.805
it it does actually show old email and new email.

758
00:50:21.810 --> 00:50:29.650
So I was gonna say if if anyhow the webhook could get updated to show, like, the old and new, like, the activity log you're already doing it, that'd be great.

759
00:50:29.650 --> 00:50:32.950
Otherwise, the only workaround that I really have is to,

760
00:50:33.835 --> 00:50:38.875
all new members sign up, send them to, like, a a spreadsheet, and then kinda, like, look it up and cross reference.

761
00:50:38.875 --> 00:50:41.615
And then if it's changed in our external spreadsheet,

762
00:50:42.315 --> 00:50:48.490
then kinda send it off to to update. If you have I have I have an alternate method for you. Okay.

763
00:50:48.550 --> 00:50:49.690
I mean, there's there's

764
00:50:50.070 --> 00:50:53.990
more than one way to skin a cat here. But I'm just again, just spitballing here.

765
00:50:53.990 --> 00:50:57.930
It sounds like you guys are pretty versed in in kinda controlling the data a bit.

766
00:50:58.150 --> 00:51:00.890
What you may wanna do is have

767
00:51:01.335 --> 00:51:02.555
two email fields.

768
00:51:04.055 --> 00:51:04.795
One is

769
00:51:05.335 --> 00:51:13.994
the one on their BD site and like the one the original email they signed up with and store that as like a value called original email.

770
00:51:14.280 --> 00:51:16.760
Love it. And as you see where I'm going with this.

771
00:51:16.760 --> 00:51:20.680
So and that one, they can't change in their contact details form or anything like that.

772
00:51:20.680 --> 00:51:22.860
It's a hidden field. Okay. And

773
00:51:23.320 --> 00:51:23.980
and use

774
00:51:24.280 --> 00:51:26.140
somehow use that to,

775
00:51:27.315 --> 00:51:30.915
update the active campaign because that'll stay static. That won't change.

776
00:51:30.915 --> 00:51:33.015
So they'll always have an original email.

777
00:51:33.954 --> 00:51:42.535
You can use jQuery to to copy over the the sign up form and have, like, a hidden field that will prefill based on what they're putting in their email field.

778
00:51:43.020 --> 00:51:48.060
So that'll get saved with them, and you'll always have that as a static value that they'll never never be able to change.

779
00:51:48.060 --> 00:51:52.780
And you've effectively created another unique identifier for your apps. Yeah.

780
00:51:52.780 --> 00:51:56.140
I mean, the only issue that comes up, I think, is if they change it more than once.

781
00:51:56.140 --> 00:52:00.775
But I think we could build it into our logic to change that original email field

782
00:52:01.075 --> 00:52:04.434
over there. But I'll I'll play around with that. That gave me some good ideas.

783
00:52:04.434 --> 00:52:08.755
But but, yeah, the activity tracker does exactly what we would need anyways.

784
00:52:08.755 --> 00:52:13.530
So if that could somehow be rolled out in a future update, that would help immensely. So

785
00:52:13.930 --> 00:52:14.430
Okay.

786
00:52:14.810 --> 00:52:16.270
That's a first suggestion.

787
00:52:16.330 --> 00:52:21.050
If the data is there, maybe we could find a way to pass it in the webhook as well. Yep. Okay.

788
00:52:21.050 --> 00:52:25.370
Thank you so much. You're welcome, Brad. Thank you. Alright. Good stuff. They're high level using,

789
00:52:25.850 --> 00:52:30.115
active campaign to manage email campaigns. We see that quite often, which is great.

790
00:52:31.135 --> 00:52:33.875
Let's see. Ronnie's got his hand up. You with us still there, Ronnie?

791
00:52:34.255 --> 00:52:34.495
Yeah.

792
00:52:35.215 --> 00:52:40.495
Is it okay to ask more than I just need three quick questions if it's okay. But we'll do our best.

793
00:52:40.495 --> 00:52:41.635
Yeah. Go for it.

794
00:52:41.840 --> 00:52:50.580
So I've suggested this before, but we build a lot of web pages, and it would be really nice if you guys had a back end where we could categorize those web pages that we build.

795
00:52:51.280 --> 00:52:59.325
So, you know, right now, I think we've built hundreds of pages onto our website, but it's starting to get a little clunky back there in the in the back end.

796
00:52:59.325 --> 00:53:01.185
So just wanted to suggest that again.

797
00:53:01.245 --> 00:53:06.365
Another thing is we put a lot of videos on our website, and that's one of the perks of our website is the training.

798
00:53:06.365 --> 00:53:10.945
We were wondering if we could also find a way to host those videos. We host them from YouTube,

799
00:53:11.750 --> 00:53:16.150
but people go, I I can't remember if I watched this one or if you updated it.

800
00:53:16.150 --> 00:53:18.170
So some way to, you know,

801
00:53:18.710 --> 00:53:20.490
say you've already watched this video.

802
00:53:21.750 --> 00:53:26.825
And then the last thing is with the SEO templates for the web page Let's wait. Let's go back

803
00:53:27.365 --> 00:53:29.465
to the other one, the video thing you just mentioned.

804
00:53:31.365 --> 00:53:32.905
Is it a member or a visitor

805
00:53:33.605 --> 00:53:34.585
watching the video?

806
00:53:34.885 --> 00:53:35.385
Member.

807
00:53:36.085 --> 00:53:37.065
A member visits

808
00:53:37.605 --> 00:53:41.280
a static page that has a video on it and you want to

809
00:53:41.760 --> 00:53:47.540
store that they've visited that page in the past, even if it's like a video? Or is that what it is?

810
00:53:47.760 --> 00:53:49.860
Or that they've actually watched the video.

811
00:53:50.080 --> 00:53:53.060
That's what they're looking for is, did I watch this one already?

812
00:53:53.535 --> 00:53:58.815
Gotcha. Okay. I understand. Okay. And what's the okay. And what what's the right. Right.

813
00:53:58.815 --> 00:54:00.194
And what's the third question?

814
00:54:00.734 --> 00:54:03.075
So you have the SEO templates that are available

815
00:54:03.375 --> 00:54:06.674
for us that uses dynamic text that pulls from the website,

816
00:54:07.380 --> 00:54:09.539
but we're not able to do that with static pages.

817
00:54:09.539 --> 00:54:12.760
And that would be really wonderful if we were able to use that,

818
00:54:13.940 --> 00:54:14.900
that static text.

819
00:54:14.900 --> 00:54:22.039
Like, what I I I built a separate site that looks exactly like our site with Wix, and I can upload a spreadsheet with all the words that I need to change.

820
00:54:22.955 --> 00:54:25.935
And you guys have that ability when it comes to,

821
00:54:26.475 --> 00:54:27.995
and it's the same thing that Yelp does.

822
00:54:27.995 --> 00:54:32.255
Like, on your static pages, you give us, your done your SEO templates.

823
00:54:32.555 --> 00:54:35.515
That's dynamic text when it says, you know, the the,

824
00:54:36.680 --> 00:54:40.380
the category and are you looking for this, and it can mix and match them.

825
00:54:41.480 --> 00:54:45.340
But we can't do that on a static page, and it would be really nice if we could use

826
00:54:45.720 --> 00:54:46.920
those pull

827
00:54:47.400 --> 00:54:48.220
call those,

828
00:54:48.760 --> 00:54:52.540
SEO text up when we need them on a static page as well.

829
00:54:52.974 --> 00:54:56.994
Okay. Are these phrases or blocks or just text?

830
00:54:57.535 --> 00:55:01.155
Well, it would be just the text. So, like, if you were to go to the SEO templates

831
00:55:01.855 --> 00:55:05.155
Mhmm. Look at it like that, just any of the SEO templates,

832
00:55:05.810 --> 00:55:10.790
you'll see, like, you can put in, like, the, you know, the print set percent, the percent sign,

833
00:55:11.170 --> 00:55:13.910
professional underscore name, percent, and it'll call

834
00:55:14.369 --> 00:55:15.750
that profession up.

835
00:55:16.050 --> 00:55:16.550
Okay.

836
00:55:16.850 --> 00:55:20.630
Let me try something with you to address that one. Let me,

837
00:55:21.915 --> 00:55:23.615
I'm with you. So let's

838
00:55:24.235 --> 00:55:29.915
you want it to be dynamic, and then how does it know what the variable value is gonna be on Well, it's gonna be

839
00:55:30.555 --> 00:55:32.415
it's gonna be based on the

840
00:55:32.715 --> 00:55:33.595
the site. So,

841
00:55:35.319 --> 00:55:36.539
like, city name,

842
00:55:36.839 --> 00:55:39.500
profession name, that sort of thing. Those

843
00:55:39.880 --> 00:55:44.440
are those are pretty dynamic, and they're built into the system. Right? So what's what's right.

844
00:55:44.440 --> 00:55:46.760
I'm with you. I wanna help you out. I think I have a solution for you.

845
00:55:46.760 --> 00:55:50.700
So, like, what's a variable that you'd want to create? Just arbitrarily, it's something

846
00:55:51.035 --> 00:55:53.135
that you wanna reuse over and over again.

847
00:55:53.515 --> 00:55:54.335
Okay. Like,

848
00:55:55.475 --> 00:55:56.175
are you

849
00:55:56.555 --> 00:55:57.515
looking for a,

850
00:55:59.435 --> 00:56:00.655
plumber in,

851
00:56:01.035 --> 00:56:02.335
you know, Phoenix, Arizona?

852
00:56:02.795 --> 00:56:09.080
You know, just like the SEO template templates, but being able to use a phrase like that and it say, are you looking for a plumber?

853
00:56:09.080 --> 00:56:12.140
Are you looking for a, you know, a notary?

854
00:56:12.200 --> 00:56:15.500
Are you looking for, you know, whatever you're looking for

855
00:56:15.895 --> 00:56:21.515
and be able to use that in the the the title and the subtitle and the SEO settings itself.

856
00:56:21.975 --> 00:56:22.475
Okay.

857
00:56:22.855 --> 00:56:23.355
So

858
00:56:23.735 --> 00:56:25.895
I'm gonna I'm gonna I wanna help you out with this.

859
00:56:25.895 --> 00:56:31.355
So the it where would the where would, like, plumber be on the page? Would it be in the URL?

860
00:56:32.130 --> 00:56:32.630
Or

861
00:56:33.010 --> 00:56:35.109
Really should be in the SEO settings,

862
00:56:35.490 --> 00:56:39.109
to start and pretty much anywhere we needed to, like, plug it in.

863
00:56:39.170 --> 00:56:42.789
So it would be like Like the like the word plumber would be the variable.

864
00:56:43.170 --> 00:56:47.484
You're you're suggesting plumber would be the variable and the city would be a variable. Okay.

865
00:56:47.484 --> 00:56:51.744
And then would the city update on the fly based on the static page you've created?

866
00:56:52.125 --> 00:56:58.224
It would work just like the SEO templates that you guys have, but the the thing is we can't create any anymore.

867
00:56:58.285 --> 00:57:02.065
It doesn't allow us to. Like, I think we did, like, 47 or 50 of them.

868
00:57:02.340 --> 00:57:10.600
And I wanna be able to just create static pages that can do that same thing because sometimes I think out of the box or the backdoor in search engines.

869
00:57:10.740 --> 00:57:13.880
Okay. I okay. I I'm I don't think I'm a %

870
00:57:14.500 --> 00:57:17.960
with you, but let me see. Like, if you created a widget called

871
00:57:18.474 --> 00:57:18.974
plumber

872
00:57:19.435 --> 00:57:23.855
and the value in it was plumber, you called it plumber text. Right?

873
00:57:25.195 --> 00:57:27.515
And then let me just I'm just gonna try something.

874
00:57:27.515 --> 00:57:31.454
I don't know if this is what you're after and if we copy the widget code here.

875
00:57:31.800 --> 00:57:36.300
And we'll just create a page called plumbers. And I just want to put the widget up here

876
00:57:36.600 --> 00:57:42.380
and see if it adds it. Now we have created almost like a text label. Let's view the page

877
00:57:42.840 --> 00:57:45.720
and see if it shows the so it's showing the word plumber here.

878
00:57:45.720 --> 00:57:48.785
So we've created a widget that says plumber text,

879
00:57:49.245 --> 00:57:51.745
and it's just the text value for plumber.

880
00:57:52.125 --> 00:57:56.605
Is this is that what we're trying for? And now I can put this widget anywhere.

881
00:57:56.605 --> 00:57:58.465
I could put it in the the,

882
00:57:58.925 --> 00:58:01.665
the SEO settings, the title, description, keyword.

883
00:58:01.965 --> 00:58:06.180
Can Can it be used in the URL as well? The word plumber? I don't know.

884
00:58:06.180 --> 00:58:10.820
It's actually, I've never tried a widget in the URL there. Let's let's see. No. Wrong structure. No.

885
00:58:10.820 --> 00:58:12.280
It doesn't look like that.

886
00:58:12.580 --> 00:58:16.360
I would still work. That that's exactly what I was looking for.

887
00:58:16.674 --> 00:58:17.174
And

888
00:58:17.714 --> 00:58:20.214
now I'm gonna really beg for you to

889
00:58:20.595 --> 00:58:28.214
come up with a way to categorize the, web because that's gonna change that that's that's like SEO gold right there.

890
00:58:28.595 --> 00:58:29.954
Right. Right. Alright. I'm with you.

891
00:58:30.960 --> 00:58:34.400
The other thing I was gonna say, because we've done I've done it in the past.

892
00:58:34.400 --> 00:58:39.700
We used to run run ads for, you know, a lead gen website for the interior design industry,

893
00:58:40.000 --> 00:58:43.300
and we would run Google Ads. We just created one landing page.

894
00:58:43.545 --> 00:58:49.085
But based on the get parameter, like, it would be like question mark plumber or like it would be like,

895
00:58:49.704 --> 00:58:50.204
category,

896
00:58:50.744 --> 00:58:53.484
you know, question mark category equals plumber,

897
00:58:54.025 --> 00:58:55.645
you know, and city

898
00:58:56.105 --> 00:58:56.605
equals

899
00:58:56.905 --> 00:58:58.045
Beverly Hills.

900
00:58:59.490 --> 00:59:02.950
It wouldn't be a static page for each one of these, but based on

901
00:59:03.330 --> 00:59:07.430
the URL parameter, it would fill in the details of the page.

902
00:59:07.970 --> 00:59:10.305
Are you familiar with that strategy as well?

903
00:59:10.704 --> 00:59:11.204
No.

904
00:59:11.744 --> 00:59:12.645
Not. No.

905
00:59:13.265 --> 00:59:16.805
The only thing if you could just show or if you know

906
00:59:17.265 --> 00:59:20.484
the biggest one is gonna be the dynamic for, like, the city.

907
00:59:21.184 --> 00:59:23.430
You again, we can do it on the SEO templates, but

908
00:59:23.910 --> 00:59:29.609
is there a widget already named, like, city name? Because I where would we find that? Or would I No.

909
00:59:29.829 --> 00:59:32.329
But we wanna create one for every city name.

910
00:59:32.869 --> 00:59:36.630
Right. So you would you would the city name needs to be defined.

911
00:59:36.630 --> 00:59:43.505
So if you're creating a static page, because a static page is just an empty web page, so it's not connected to search results,

912
00:59:43.885 --> 00:59:51.425
we need to you need to give it context, and context is gonna come from some some kind of generally, it's from the URL.

913
00:59:52.000 --> 01:00:01.140
And like a parameter is when you see like it says city equals lost so the things we see you know when you do a search sometimes you see things like this you can tell

914
01:00:01.680 --> 01:00:06.020
you can tell the system I think you should ask this in the Facebook group I'd love to answer you

915
01:00:06.585 --> 01:00:09.805
when we have more time and kinda show you the strategy,

916
01:00:10.345 --> 01:00:13.645
which will basically allow you to create one landing page template.

917
01:00:14.185 --> 01:00:18.505
And based on the get parameters, again, they're not static pages on their own.

918
01:00:18.505 --> 01:00:19.645
They're dynamic pages.

919
01:00:20.070 --> 01:00:23.530
You can then create pages like this or if you're going to create

920
01:00:24.230 --> 01:00:27.770
a format of URLs that are going to be like plumbers

921
01:00:29.110 --> 01:00:30.250
slash Los Angeles

922
01:00:31.030 --> 01:00:32.810
and this is your static page,

923
01:00:33.190 --> 01:00:34.010
we can use

924
01:00:34.494 --> 01:00:37.555
like jQuery or JavaScript and it will pull

925
01:00:37.855 --> 01:00:40.994
the first slug of the URL and the second slug.

926
01:00:41.535 --> 01:00:50.700
And if you're using the, the same format for all for all the landing pages you're created, then you just need one template and it'll just pull from the URL.

927
01:00:50.839 --> 01:01:01.740
So you've basically cut your work into nothing all you have to do is create the URL for a page and now that page exists and it's gonna be the same content on every page but you can have a section for custom content

928
01:01:02.235 --> 01:01:06.815
But basically, you can create more dynamic pages in that fashion a whole lot a lot quicker.

929
01:01:07.035 --> 01:01:09.195
That's what we wanna be able to do. Alright.

930
01:01:09.195 --> 01:01:13.195
Asking in the Facebook group, I'd love to kinda show you this is something I wanted to cover.

931
01:01:13.195 --> 01:01:14.315
It's it's more higher level.

932
01:01:14.315 --> 01:01:21.630
It's for people that are doing, like, a lot of SEO targeting a lot of categories in a lot of cities and things like that, and they need

933
01:01:21.930 --> 01:01:26.809
dedicated pages and and certain types of templates. Because because what you're saying is the,

934
01:01:27.450 --> 01:01:31.470
on the I got I wanna drag this out because I know we have a lot of people on the webinar here, but it is exciting.

935
01:01:31.935 --> 01:01:33.315
So like, you know, we have,

936
01:01:34.015 --> 01:01:38.015
city pages for Los Angeles. You're just you're not even doing the search results pages.

937
01:01:38.015 --> 01:01:39.795
You're just creating static pages,

938
01:01:41.015 --> 01:01:42.755
for Yeah. Cities.

939
01:01:43.375 --> 01:01:49.170
If we you know, I know we got a lot of people on the call, so I'll shut up after this sentence and I'm gonna post it in the Facebook group.

940
01:01:49.170 --> 01:01:50.370
Like, I can show you what I've done.

941
01:01:50.370 --> 01:01:57.670
Like, Wix, we can just upload a spreadsheet with all the dynamic changes that we want, which is I went to the US postal system and just downloaded everything,

942
01:01:58.050 --> 01:02:01.510
and then always focused on populations of 10,000 or higher.

943
01:02:02.135 --> 01:02:08.075
That's what we want to be able to do is create a dynamic URL and a dynamic page serving the city.

944
01:02:08.214 --> 01:02:13.295
If if you upload members in those cities, the the city pages are automatically created with BD.

945
01:02:13.295 --> 01:02:14.875
Did did you know that?

946
01:02:15.260 --> 01:02:15.900
Right. There

947
01:02:16.540 --> 01:02:18.240
so we have two avenues.

948
01:02:19.260 --> 01:02:20.560
Those work really great.

949
01:02:20.780 --> 01:02:31.905
We wanna be able to create static pages for what we sell to those members trying to get into the group because the the whole pull of our directory is what we offer to the members who are listening there.

950
01:02:32.205 --> 01:02:35.805
Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I'm trying to wrap my head around that.

951
01:02:35.805 --> 01:02:41.325
I definitely wanna help because I I get excited about the stuff that you're talking about and then there's multiple ways to achieve it.

952
01:02:41.325 --> 01:02:44.940
It just depends, like, kind of the the route that someone's more most comfortable with.

953
01:02:44.940 --> 01:02:50.780
But post in the Facebook group the use case that you're trying to develop, and maybe I could provide some more tips for you there.

954
01:02:50.780 --> 01:02:54.620
We'll make sure you get accepted in there if you just applied as well. I I just applied.

955
01:02:54.620 --> 01:02:58.335
So thank you for the thank you for that. I'll I'll post it in there. Yeah. For sure.

956
01:02:58.335 --> 01:03:03.295
I I mean, you can tell I like nerding out about that this stuff. So and and we're quite good at it.

957
01:03:03.295 --> 01:03:03.795
So,

958
01:03:04.255 --> 01:03:06.575
hopefully, you can post it and we'll give you some tips for that. Alright.

959
01:03:06.575 --> 01:03:09.615
We got our good friend Martin here. Thanks for bearing with us here, guys.

960
01:03:09.615 --> 01:03:13.890
Martin, you with us there, Martin, still? Hi, Jason. Can you help me? Can you hear me? Yes.

961
01:03:13.890 --> 01:03:15.570
Yes, sir. Yes, sir. How are you doing today? Hi.

962
01:03:15.570 --> 01:03:19.109
First of all, I just wanna say huge fan of the, the whole platform,

963
01:03:19.570 --> 01:03:22.050
the company, and the support team. Great.

964
01:03:22.050 --> 01:03:25.270
And a shout out to those guys because they've been absolutely brilliant.

965
01:03:25.845 --> 01:03:28.025
I've got, basically a request.

966
01:03:28.885 --> 01:03:31.685
For me, this is quite an important one. It's in two parts to it.

967
01:03:31.685 --> 01:03:35.225
There's a kind of a simple solution and perhaps a more in-depth one.

968
01:03:35.525 --> 01:03:37.625
BD's got a great invoicing system.

969
01:03:38.410 --> 01:03:42.150
I haven't quite launched my site yet, so I'm I'm just trying to get into this at the moment.

970
01:03:42.369 --> 01:03:44.549
But most of us run full on businesses,

971
01:03:45.730 --> 01:03:48.390
and so therefore running alongside that, we have,

972
01:03:49.569 --> 01:03:52.390
an account system like QuickBooks or Xero.

973
01:03:54.714 --> 01:03:56.974
And running that proper account system,

974
01:03:58.075 --> 01:04:00.335
we could redo with some integration between

975
01:04:00.714 --> 01:04:03.055
the BD invoicing system and

976
01:04:03.675 --> 01:04:05.295
and something you say like QuickBooks.

977
01:04:06.234 --> 01:04:08.734
So the very the simple solution

978
01:04:09.035 --> 01:04:09.695
would be,

979
01:04:10.530 --> 01:04:11.490
if we could have,

980
01:04:12.370 --> 01:04:13.990
a a webhook or a Zap.

981
01:04:14.290 --> 01:04:16.070
I don't think the one exists at the moment.

982
01:04:16.770 --> 01:04:18.870
So when a new invoice is created in,

983
01:04:19.570 --> 01:04:20.630
in in BD,

984
01:04:21.170 --> 01:04:22.390
it creates an invoice,

985
01:04:23.250 --> 01:04:25.030
over in in QuickBooks or Xero.

986
01:04:25.605 --> 01:04:29.785
And the more in-depth solution would be to have perhaps a fuller integration.

987
01:04:30.725 --> 01:04:33.305
I run a CRM system called Capsule CRM,

988
01:04:33.845 --> 01:04:34.345
which,

989
01:04:34.805 --> 01:04:37.945
obviously, they've they've, you know, discussed with Intuit, and

990
01:04:38.325 --> 01:04:39.545
they they're running a full

991
01:04:39.849 --> 01:04:41.869
kind of integration so you can you can look

992
01:04:42.170 --> 01:04:44.510
inside QuickBooks from from the CRM.

993
01:04:45.369 --> 01:04:49.230
But but as it stands, you know, it looks like I'm gonna have to

994
01:04:49.609 --> 01:04:50.430
double input

995
01:04:50.890 --> 01:04:51.710
all my invoices

996
01:04:52.089 --> 01:04:53.869
if I was using the BD system,

997
01:04:54.645 --> 01:04:56.905
into the QuickBooks system, which seems a lot of work.

998
01:04:57.365 --> 01:05:01.785
I hear you. Let me check a couple of things for you. Thank you for bringing that up.

999
01:05:02.165 --> 01:05:07.545
And let me because you mentioned webhooks, so I'm I'm already assuming you're familiar with that.

1000
01:05:07.845 --> 01:05:09.859
Yeah. Let me see here.

1001
01:05:11.279 --> 01:05:13.460
The paid sign ups, this only is

1002
01:05:14.559 --> 01:05:17.619
when there's a new paid sign up. It's not for

1003
01:05:18.079 --> 01:05:19.220
each paid invoice.

1004
01:05:20.319 --> 01:05:22.980
Yeah. That's why I wanted to my account system ready.

1005
01:05:23.615 --> 01:05:24.115
Transaction

1006
01:05:24.415 --> 01:05:25.155
smart list.

1007
01:05:26.494 --> 01:05:26.994
Okay.

1008
01:05:27.855 --> 01:05:28.595
I'm wondering

1009
01:05:28.895 --> 01:05:32.035
what this one is. I have to research this for you.

1010
01:05:32.335 --> 01:05:38.035
Transaction smart list. I'm trying to think out loud. Let's go to the transaction history here.

1011
01:05:38.680 --> 01:05:42.040
There's no transactions on this site, but I just wanna check a few things.

1012
01:05:42.040 --> 01:05:43.580
There's there's payments received,

1013
01:05:44.680 --> 01:05:47.340
past due, and refunded. Those are the three

1014
01:05:47.880 --> 01:05:51.820
categories of invoices that would really need to be passed

1015
01:05:53.045 --> 01:05:53.525
to,

1016
01:05:54.005 --> 01:05:54.805
to one of those,

1017
01:05:55.365 --> 01:06:00.345
platforms. Let me chat with the team. I don't have an exact answer for you on that just yet.

1018
01:06:00.485 --> 01:06:01.225
But specifically

1019
01:06:01.685 --> 01:06:02.905
a very popular solution.

1020
01:06:04.740 --> 01:06:06.820
Specifically the invoices, which,

1021
01:06:07.220 --> 01:06:07.720
include,

1022
01:06:08.100 --> 01:06:09.800
the customer or or member,

1023
01:06:11.860 --> 01:06:12.360
and

1024
01:06:12.820 --> 01:06:13.560
the amount,

1025
01:06:14.340 --> 01:06:15.640
and the

1026
01:06:16.020 --> 01:06:17.640
the name of the,

1027
01:06:18.340 --> 01:06:19.640
the product or item,

1028
01:06:20.445 --> 01:06:23.745
and also the status of the invoice. So if it's

1029
01:06:24.045 --> 01:06:25.185
paid, refunded,

1030
01:06:25.725 --> 01:06:30.205
or pending, which would mean that it's past due or it's been created, but it hasn't been paid yet.

1031
01:06:30.205 --> 01:06:30.705
Okay?

1032
01:06:31.245 --> 01:06:34.045
Again, I don't know that's information that is on invoice.

1033
01:06:34.045 --> 01:06:37.410
So we the the so we could create a matching invoice in QuickBooks,

1034
01:06:37.790 --> 01:06:38.290
particularly.

1035
01:06:38.910 --> 01:06:39.470
I see that.

1036
01:06:39.470 --> 01:06:47.955
You just said the magic criteria is is is ability to that it would it would be enough information to create a matching invoice Yeah.

1037
01:06:48.195 --> 01:06:52.615
With those And that would save having to double key the whole, you know, all the information in.

1038
01:06:52.835 --> 01:06:56.455
Gotcha. Now let me chat with the team. I can definitely see the usefulness

1039
01:06:56.915 --> 01:06:58.995
of that if you're using a a third party,

1040
01:06:59.315 --> 01:07:01.715
you know, like a QuickBooks or Siro and things like that.

1041
01:07:01.715 --> 01:07:05.630
So thank you for for mentioning that, Martin. Alright. Good stuff there. Alright.

1042
01:07:05.630 --> 01:07:11.069
Thank you for that. Let's see if we have any more hands up here. I don't see any more hands up.

1043
01:07:11.069 --> 01:07:15.230
Alright, guys. Well, thank you for an amazing webinar. I think, well, that's a great place to start.

1044
01:07:15.230 --> 01:07:18.609
Just a little bit over time. Thanks for bearing with us. Thank you for all the good questions.

1045
01:07:18.670 --> 01:07:23.085
I appreciate it. It sounds like everyone is hard at work on their websites.

1046
01:07:23.545 --> 01:07:28.744
