WEBVTT 1 00:01:00.340 --> 00:01:01.160 Hey, everybody. 2 00:01:01.940 --> 00:01:02.440 Welcome. 3 00:01:04.020 --> 00:01:06.520 Welcome. Welcome. Good to see all of you. 4 00:01:07.225 --> 00:01:11.564 Good to see some of you, and good to see profile pictures of of the others. 5 00:01:11.945 --> 00:01:12.765 I love it. 6 00:01:14.024 --> 00:01:14.844 Matter of faces. 7 00:01:15.304 --> 00:01:15.804 Welcome. 8 00:01:16.664 --> 00:01:21.496 We are going to do today a workshop on podcasts in Simplero. 9 00:01:22.530 --> 00:01:24.390 So if you haven't been to one of these before, 10 00:01:24.770 --> 00:01:27.110 this is a workshop that's specifically 11 00:01:27.410 --> 00:01:30.690 about a topic in today's podcast. So we're, 12 00:01:31.090 --> 00:01:32.550 gonna go through the entire 13 00:01:32.930 --> 00:01:39.385 Simplero feature, all of the settings, how to use it, how to share it, how to sell it, all that good stuff. 14 00:01:39.385 --> 00:01:41.165 We're gonna try and keep the workshop 15 00:01:41.625 --> 00:01:44.365 kind of based on that particular topic. 16 00:01:44.745 --> 00:01:52.265 We try we'll try not to go off into the weeds on too many other things and try and keep the questions and the answers at the end also to that topic. 17 00:01:52.265 --> 00:01:52.765 So, 18 00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:55.600 also, structure. I'm gonna talk a bunch in the beginning. 19 00:01:55.600 --> 00:01:57.760 You guys are welcome to ask me questions in the chat. 20 00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:02.580 I will get to them as soon as I see them, but we will also do a full blown q and a at the end. 21 00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:08.465 And that's about it. That's all I really got for for some ground rules. So we do these workshops 22 00:02:09.245 --> 00:02:12.065 twice monthly, and they are based on a particular 23 00:02:12.685 --> 00:02:17.405 type of feature inside of Simplero. So podcasts are cool. They're exciting. They're relatively new. 24 00:02:17.405 --> 00:02:21.965 I think it's been out about a year or so now. So it's it's fully developed, and, 25 00:02:22.750 --> 00:02:23.230 it works. 26 00:02:23.230 --> 00:02:28.610 And we would love to teach you more about how to use it and how you can integrate it into your business. 27 00:02:29.150 --> 00:02:32.030 So awesome. The way that this is gonna work, though, I'm gonna start talking. 28 00:02:32.030 --> 00:02:33.230 I'm gonna share my screen. 29 00:02:33.230 --> 00:02:45.275 We're gonna build out a podcast from scratch together, and then we'll walk through again, like I mentioned, how to get it to your customers, how to sell it to your customers private versus public, putting it on our RSS 30 00:02:45.735 --> 00:02:48.635 or sharing the RSS feed link to get it on to podcast 31 00:02:49.590 --> 00:02:52.250 players and providers, all of that stuff. So 32 00:02:53.350 --> 00:02:56.310 without further ado, let's go ahead and just get into it. 33 00:02:56.790 --> 00:02:58.810 I'm going to share my screen, 34 00:02:59.990 --> 00:03:03.885 and I'm gonna start already inside of our Simplero support account. 35 00:03:03.885 --> 00:03:09.105 So I was playing around earlier just getting prepped for this. Here's a podcast inside of Simplero. 36 00:03:09.165 --> 00:03:12.284 So this is Silas Johnson's podcast. That's me, Silas Johnson. 37 00:03:12.284 --> 00:03:15.325 I work for the success team, and I got some episodes in here. 38 00:03:15.325 --> 00:03:17.520 But we're gonna start actually from square one. 39 00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:20.020 So how you find this thing 40 00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:24.420 let's actually reverse even further back. Why would you want 41 00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:28.980 to use Simplero to host your podcast? That's the bigger or overarching question. 42 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.180 And to me, the biggest one would be 43 00:03:33.605 --> 00:03:34.105 ease 44 00:03:34.885 --> 00:03:35.625 and functionality 45 00:03:36.005 --> 00:03:37.865 and cost savings. Right? 46 00:03:37.925 --> 00:03:42.425 The goal of Simplero was to have you have your entire business inside of Simplero 47 00:03:43.045 --> 00:03:45.205 by whatever means possible. Right? 48 00:03:45.205 --> 00:03:50.550 And we added podcasts to create one more channel that you do not have to purchase or think 49 00:03:51.010 --> 00:03:55.910 about. Right? So if your business, a piece of your business, requires or has a podcast, 50 00:03:56.370 --> 00:03:57.423 you can now do it in Simplero. 51 00:03:57.650 --> 00:04:01.730 You don't have to host it on a transistor or Podbay or wherever you wanna do it. 52 00:04:01.730 --> 00:04:03.432 Like, you can just build it in Simplero, 53 00:04:04.094 --> 00:04:05.155 host it in Simplero. 54 00:04:05.454 --> 00:04:13.215 People can literally just listen to it in Simplero only if you wanted them to, or you can host it here and share it out. 55 00:04:13.215 --> 00:04:13.715 So 56 00:04:14.094 --> 00:04:16.320 that's why it's a native Simplero object. 57 00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:21.460 It also gets all the cool bells and whistles because it's in Simplero like triggers and automations 58 00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:27.520 that are attached to the individual episodes and the podcast itself and subscribers and all of that stuff. 59 00:04:27.520 --> 00:04:31.585 So that's that's the main reason why this is an advantage. 60 00:04:31.725 --> 00:04:34.421 Why would you wanna create a podcast inside of Simplero? 61 00:04:35.325 --> 00:04:38.625 So let's go find it. We're gonna go to the content tab. 62 00:04:39.245 --> 00:04:41.825 And in here, you're gonna see it under podcasts. 63 00:04:42.205 --> 00:04:43.505 If you don't see it, 64 00:04:44.010 --> 00:04:46.350 it's because you need to go to the more tab, 65 00:04:47.610 --> 00:04:53.470 scroll all the way down to the bottom under content, and you need to open up the podcast feature. 66 00:04:54.490 --> 00:04:58.270 So once it's open for you, then you should see it, and you should be good to go. 67 00:05:00.074 --> 00:05:04.014 And right inside here, you're gonna have an opportunity to create a new podcast. 68 00:05:04.474 --> 00:05:07.294 I wanna give you a quick tip, everyone that's watching this video. 69 00:05:07.354 --> 00:05:11.055 These videos right here, these little walk throughs, maybe you love them. 70 00:05:11.115 --> 00:05:14.574 Maybe you watched them 37 times. Maybe you've never watched them once. 71 00:05:15.250 --> 00:05:18.530 You can always just get rid of them, and it won't show them anymore. 72 00:05:18.530 --> 00:05:22.389 I'm not sure if you knew that or not. I cannot believe. We haven't x ed out on this 73 00:05:22.850 --> 00:05:27.030 particular page, but I'm gonna do that right now. So that's gone. But learn about podcasts. 74 00:05:27.169 --> 00:05:29.835 Click on that. There's a it's like a little mini workshop. 75 00:05:29.835 --> 00:05:33.135 You can learn more about podcasts, but we're gonna go through everything today. So 76 00:05:33.755 --> 00:05:36.655 let's create a brand new one. I'm gonna click on new podcasts 77 00:05:37.035 --> 00:05:38.014 from the podcasts 78 00:05:38.955 --> 00:05:43.370 section, and then there's some some settings here right in the beginning. So I'm just gonna call 79 00:05:43.830 --> 00:05:45.130 this stylus for workshop. 80 00:05:46.070 --> 00:05:47.690 And then an internal name, 81 00:05:48.150 --> 00:05:49.610 I can make it the same thing. 82 00:05:50.310 --> 00:05:53.450 This title is gonna be the public facing name. 83 00:05:53.795 --> 00:05:56.135 So make sure it's really cool, really awesome, 84 00:05:56.515 --> 00:06:00.615 represents your business. This is what it's gonna be called everywhere that it's shared. 85 00:06:00.915 --> 00:06:04.855 Internal name is just for you. You could Calvin whatever you want. Just help you remember. 86 00:06:04.915 --> 00:06:07.955 Maybe you got a different name for it. Maybe it's a hyphenated name, whatever. 87 00:06:07.955 --> 00:06:12.010 So this is your internal name. And then labels also super handy to have. 88 00:06:12.010 --> 00:06:15.610 It's gonna show up down here. Labels are just right here. There's a little tool tip. 89 00:06:15.610 --> 00:06:17.950 Labels help you organize things in some Plural. 90 00:06:18.410 --> 00:06:19.150 It'll just 91 00:06:19.530 --> 00:06:22.110 bundle this with any other thing that's labeled 92 00:06:22.730 --> 00:06:26.764 the same label. Doesn't do anything to it. Doesn't make actions happen. 93 00:06:26.764 --> 00:06:30.305 You can create actions, but that's a whole another whole another workshop. 94 00:06:30.604 --> 00:06:32.305 So give it a label if you want. 95 00:06:32.764 --> 00:06:35.345 This category thing is going to be important 96 00:06:35.725 --> 00:06:41.940 for how podcast readers and how you organize your podcast too, but these are the common 97 00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:43.380 categories that 98 00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:44.180 podcast 99 00:06:44.640 --> 00:06:46.100 platform, player platforms, 100 00:06:46.640 --> 00:06:51.460 the buckets they put people into. So I'm gonna just say mine's about arts and food because 101 00:06:51.985 --> 00:06:55.285 I love art and food. So that's what my category is gonna be today. 102 00:06:55.824 --> 00:06:59.664 Host name could be completely different than you, but just put the host name. 103 00:06:59.664 --> 00:07:03.285 That'll what's what will show up during during that podcast itself. 104 00:07:03.745 --> 00:07:04.405 And then 105 00:07:04.785 --> 00:07:06.965 give it an image. We'll give it something 106 00:07:07.880 --> 00:07:10.300 super funky. Let's see if there's anything. 107 00:07:11.640 --> 00:07:12.140 Oh, 108 00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:16.780 what's going on? What's going on? What's going on there? Anything? Anything for 109 00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:18.300 functional fitness? 110 00:07:18.919 --> 00:07:22.300 Cool. That's gonna be mine. That's the cover for mine. 111 00:07:23.115 --> 00:07:24.575 Let people in as they come. 112 00:07:25.675 --> 00:07:28.415 So I'm Calvin an image. I'm not gonna label it. 113 00:07:29.035 --> 00:07:29.935 This is 114 00:07:30.395 --> 00:07:31.295 my description. 115 00:07:32.235 --> 00:07:34.495 That's gonna be that little description that sits 116 00:07:34.795 --> 00:07:40.050 on, but also as it gets pushed out to the podcast players. This is gonna be in the description. 117 00:07:40.590 --> 00:07:45.730 You can tell the computers what language it's in. Right? So maybe it's in 118 00:07:46.110 --> 00:07:50.690 traditional Chinese, maybe it's in English, anything. Just make sure you give it a language so 119 00:07:51.255 --> 00:07:56.135 you and the readers know what it is. And then we're gonna give it public access for now. 120 00:07:56.135 --> 00:07:59.115 We can change it later to something different. But for 121 00:07:59.495 --> 00:08:03.035 this particular portion of the workshop, we're gonna give it public access. 122 00:08:03.175 --> 00:08:05.675 And then this is just a way to order them. 123 00:08:06.055 --> 00:08:08.460 So this is a setting. Right? 124 00:08:09.080 --> 00:08:12.860 This is going to be the order that they get shown and pushed to 125 00:08:13.320 --> 00:08:16.840 your platform and then also the other platforms that play your podcast. 126 00:08:16.840 --> 00:08:18.920 So this is the decision you kinda need to make. 127 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:21.615 You want the order to be shown newest first or oldest first. 128 00:08:21.694 --> 00:08:26.095 I know Spotify can probably override that because they have their own drop downs that let you go back and forth. 129 00:08:26.095 --> 00:08:26.595 But 130 00:08:26.974 --> 00:08:28.835 just something to think about. You want your newest, 131 00:08:29.215 --> 00:08:33.794 podcast first or your oldest ones first? You can change it later, and then we're gonna hit create. 132 00:08:35.150 --> 00:08:39.490 So there we are. We're inside of a podcast. We got it all. So there it is. 133 00:08:39.790 --> 00:08:46.450 Now once all of the settings are done, right, what we can do is we can look around and see what we got here. 134 00:08:46.670 --> 00:08:47.170 So 135 00:08:47.885 --> 00:08:52.865 we got some stuff. We got this link drop down. This is gonna be copy link to podcast. 136 00:08:53.325 --> 00:08:57.185 This is gonna be the link to the page. Let's just look at that guy right here. 137 00:08:58.605 --> 00:09:00.705 And right now, it's public. 138 00:09:01.070 --> 00:09:07.089 So it's gonna take on the really ugly details of my style guide that goes with my main site. 139 00:09:07.390 --> 00:09:11.970 Right? Just hot tip. That's where it's pulling all of your typography and colors from. 140 00:09:13.565 --> 00:09:14.065 This 141 00:09:14.525 --> 00:09:17.885 if this was set to private, people aren't gonna be able to see this, obviously. 142 00:09:17.885 --> 00:09:19.165 So you can copy it all you want. 143 00:09:19.165 --> 00:09:22.625 You can send it to people that don't have access, and player's gonna give them a login page. 144 00:09:23.485 --> 00:09:25.905 These action links, I wanna cover them real quick. 145 00:09:26.130 --> 00:09:29.010 You it says right here, insert these links into a broadcast. 146 00:09:29.010 --> 00:09:33.590 And when the recipient clicks it, they will automatically be subscribed, unsubscribe to this podcast. 147 00:09:34.450 --> 00:09:35.990 This only matters 148 00:09:36.450 --> 00:09:37.250 if your public 149 00:09:37.730 --> 00:09:40.985 if your podcast is private. Public doesn't matter. 150 00:09:40.985 --> 00:09:45.325 Subscribing and unsubscribe, Calvin said himself, that data isn't tracked. We don't track 151 00:09:45.865 --> 00:09:50.045 subscribers with private podcasts. And this is an internal 152 00:09:50.585 --> 00:09:52.765 metric. Right? Subscribe and unsubscribe. 153 00:09:53.225 --> 00:09:58.040 This is not something that is going out to Apple Podcasts, for example. Right? 154 00:09:58.040 --> 00:10:08.460 So this is if you have a private podcast, you can share this action link in an email broadcast, for example, and allow people to manually add themselves or subscribe themselves to your podcast. 155 00:10:09.605 --> 00:10:11.065 Thoughts about that real quick. 156 00:10:11.205 --> 00:10:17.465 If you do let them manually subscribe and unsubscribe and you don't provide access like 157 00:10:17.925 --> 00:10:21.690 like anything in Simplero via trigger an automation product or list, 158 00:10:22.170 --> 00:10:27.470 you will need to manually unsubscribe them if you don't want them to listen to the podcast anymore. 159 00:10:28.410 --> 00:10:30.830 So there's that. That's this drop down. 160 00:10:31.290 --> 00:10:34.490 We got this menu here. You can delete the podcast. You can add labels. 161 00:10:34.490 --> 00:10:36.750 That's about all this meatball menu does. 162 00:10:37.695 --> 00:10:41.135 Again, this is gonna view that podcast page. We just looked at it. 163 00:10:41.135 --> 00:10:46.995 And then this copy link to podcast RSS feed, this is what you are going to share 164 00:10:47.535 --> 00:10:52.195 with the podcast providers. Right? Like, this is something that's gonna go out 165 00:10:52.575 --> 00:10:52.815 and, 166 00:10:53.510 --> 00:10:57.450 go to the podcast addict if you use that obscure one like I do. 167 00:10:57.510 --> 00:11:01.430 Podbase, Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Spotify, all that stuff. 168 00:11:01.430 --> 00:11:03.450 So this is what you're gonna share with them. 169 00:11:04.070 --> 00:11:07.930 Before we dig into the the other stuff, let's just look what we got here. We got episodes. 170 00:11:08.325 --> 00:11:12.905 We can see, you know, all published draft. This is the the status of your of your episodes. 171 00:11:13.365 --> 00:11:14.345 And then distribution. 172 00:11:14.805 --> 00:11:19.625 So this is a little bit different. It only works specifically for Apple and Spotify, 173 00:11:20.885 --> 00:11:22.905 just this piece right here. 174 00:11:23.310 --> 00:11:29.250 Now I've talked with Simplero Coach, who is our internal bot that checks all of our code base and everything. 175 00:11:29.710 --> 00:11:31.890 If you don't use Apple or Spotify, 176 00:11:32.350 --> 00:11:36.085 it's okay. It'll still go out. It'll still get updated, all of that. 177 00:11:36.085 --> 00:11:40.665 This is just kind of an internal handshake that we do with Apple Podcasts and Spotify. 178 00:11:40.805 --> 00:11:43.925 So if you wanted to do the second step, you're welcome to. 179 00:11:43.925 --> 00:11:50.905 You're gonna copy this RSS feed, paste it in Apple Podcasts Connect, and then get they send you a URL back. 180 00:11:51.529 --> 00:11:56.430 Right? So that's something that you should do if you want it on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. 181 00:12:00.250 --> 00:12:05.709 Those are mainly the settings inside of here. So we've talked about, like, how to build this 182 00:12:06.245 --> 00:12:06.745 podcast 183 00:12:07.365 --> 00:12:10.425 and how to play with some of the very simple settings. Right? 184 00:12:11.045 --> 00:12:16.584 The next piece we would wanna talk about is how to add an episode. I got something in the chat here. 185 00:12:17.205 --> 00:12:20.440 Tony is not using it, but appreciate the training. Cool. It's good to have you. 186 00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:22.060 Good was good to have you. 187 00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:28.380 Awesome. So what what we would do is just add episodes. Right? Like, so you may have video. 188 00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:29.640 You may have audio. 189 00:12:29.640 --> 00:12:34.885 It's totally up to you how you deliver that data because depending on the podcast player, they can do either. 190 00:12:35.345 --> 00:12:39.025 So we'll start by just adding a couple episodes, and we'll just go through there. 191 00:12:39.025 --> 00:12:41.045 I'm gonna Calvin Silas episode one. 192 00:12:43.505 --> 00:12:44.245 And then 193 00:12:44.705 --> 00:12:46.245 this is the first, 194 00:12:47.290 --> 00:12:48.910 and I'm gonna give it that file. 195 00:12:49.850 --> 00:12:54.190 Already have it. If you don't have files yet, you can upload them directly from here. 196 00:12:54.250 --> 00:12:58.510 Otherwise, what this is opening, if you are not accustomed to seeing this, is 197 00:12:58.890 --> 00:13:01.280 the media library inside of Simplero. 198 00:13:01.955 --> 00:13:05.575 So these are the audio files that Semplaro sees as audio files, 199 00:13:06.035 --> 00:13:06.535 and 200 00:13:07.075 --> 00:13:10.515 they're in my media library already. I'm just gonna go ahead and reference any of them. 201 00:13:10.515 --> 00:13:13.315 I have no idea what these even say. Not even gonna play them. 202 00:13:13.315 --> 00:13:16.295 But now there's an audio file attached to this podcast. 203 00:13:16.900 --> 00:13:18.680 I can edit this cover image. 204 00:13:20.180 --> 00:13:24.680 I like peanut butter. So we'll throw that guy on there. That's the episode's cover image. 205 00:13:24.980 --> 00:13:27.160 And I'm gonna say this is about 206 00:13:28.020 --> 00:13:28.520 peanut 207 00:13:28.900 --> 00:13:30.360 butter and deadlifts. 208 00:13:32.954 --> 00:13:37.454 Cool. So that's gonna be the show notes. Right? And then meta description, 209 00:13:37.915 --> 00:13:43.355 this is what's gonna go in social media and search results. If this were this were public. Right? 210 00:13:43.355 --> 00:13:45.535 Like, if this were public and you could share it socially, 211 00:13:45.980 --> 00:13:48.320 this is the meta description that's gonna go there. 212 00:13:48.700 --> 00:13:50.400 This is probably pretty important. 213 00:13:50.940 --> 00:13:53.440 I mean, I don't work for Apple or 214 00:13:53.820 --> 00:13:59.440 Spotify or any of the big guys, but if you have explicit language and you don't state it clearly, 215 00:14:00.365 --> 00:14:08.705 I know that toggling this on is gonna send over data with your RSS feed, letting people know that, you know, the episode contains explicit language. 216 00:14:08.925 --> 00:14:15.020 So if you didn't do this, but you and you're dropping f bombs the whole time, it's probably not a good idea because then your podcast may get flagged 217 00:14:16.280 --> 00:14:21.420 or throttled somehow. Not even entirely sure, but I would just say it's probably a good idea 218 00:14:21.800 --> 00:14:25.420 to make sure that people know that you're swearing if you are. So 219 00:14:26.035 --> 00:14:29.955 there's that piece. And then the publish date, of course. You can publish it right now. 220 00:14:29.955 --> 00:14:34.835 You can leave it in draft because it's not ready, or you can schedule it to go out at a later date. 221 00:14:34.835 --> 00:14:38.775 This is if you wanted to just go ahead and jam a bunch and 222 00:14:39.260 --> 00:14:43.520 get a whole whole bunch of them ready. So that'd be the two ways to do it. 223 00:14:43.580 --> 00:14:46.960 I would say probably published. We'll just do that now. 224 00:14:47.339 --> 00:14:48.560 And then, again, 225 00:14:49.020 --> 00:14:55.805 this is basically the same, a little bit redundant, but, like, you can change the published date or at least say when it's published. 226 00:14:55.805 --> 00:14:58.925 Right? So you can create this episode here. You'll see that later. 227 00:14:58.925 --> 00:15:03.404 You can move stuff around in the stack by changing the publish date too. 228 00:15:03.404 --> 00:15:04.945 Let's say, oh, that was a mistake. 229 00:15:05.005 --> 00:15:09.160 It was actually August 1 when I did that one, and I want the silence episode two to be first. 230 00:15:09.160 --> 00:15:10.460 I can change this date. 231 00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:13.960 So there's our first episode. We're gonna add another one too. 232 00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:15.740 Just just look at this guy right here. 233 00:15:16.920 --> 00:15:18.300 I'll do this really quick. 234 00:15:22.695 --> 00:15:24.475 Just throw some stuff in there. 235 00:15:25.895 --> 00:15:29.755 I think we can probably give it the same file. I'll just give it something else. 236 00:15:31.895 --> 00:15:33.595 And this time, it's gonna be jelly. 237 00:15:38.670 --> 00:15:39.649 Also published. 238 00:15:41.070 --> 00:15:41.570 Cool. 239 00:15:43.230 --> 00:15:46.050 There we go. We got a couple episodes for our podcast. 240 00:15:46.430 --> 00:15:51.250 All ready to go. All ready there. Now if I were to look at this guy, 241 00:15:52.475 --> 00:15:56.735 this is my podcast page. This is what the customer will see on their end. 242 00:15:56.795 --> 00:16:00.735 They can see I have the latest episodes, episode one, episode two. 243 00:16:01.195 --> 00:16:07.130 If you have a 100 episodes in there, it's gonna change the UI a little bit, but this is how it's gonna be organized. 244 00:16:07.130 --> 00:16:09.390 And then, of course, here we go. 245 00:16:09.770 --> 00:16:16.270 Now here's here's a point. This is the links that they can use to listen to it on their own players. 246 00:16:16.890 --> 00:16:23.125 These links will not work if you have not yet sent out your RSS link to 247 00:16:23.505 --> 00:16:24.405 the podcast 248 00:16:24.785 --> 00:16:30.885 host player. Right? So if you want your podcast to be on Overcast, if you want it to be on Castro 249 00:16:31.505 --> 00:16:32.485 or Downcast 250 00:16:32.865 --> 00:16:33.365 or 251 00:16:33.899 --> 00:16:34.399 PocketCasts. 252 00:16:34.860 --> 00:16:37.199 I guess these are the popular ones these days. 253 00:16:37.579 --> 00:16:40.459 You would have to share your RSS link with them. 254 00:16:40.459 --> 00:16:44.240 And then what this would do if you look in my bottom left corner, it's basically 255 00:16:44.620 --> 00:16:49.885 just a a search. Right? Like, it's gonna this one's gonna search for it. Podcast. Boom. 256 00:16:49.885 --> 00:16:52.545 It's just gonna send out, you 257 00:16:52.925 --> 00:16:57.665 know, the link, the URL to their side where they can listen to it, but you have to have told 258 00:16:57.965 --> 00:17:01.425 the podcast player that it exists in the first place or they won't see it. 259 00:17:02.100 --> 00:17:02.839 So there's 260 00:17:03.899 --> 00:17:04.399 that. 261 00:17:05.460 --> 00:17:11.380 New to podcasting idea. Do we have to pay extra to those podcast host sites? No. Usually not. Right? 262 00:17:11.380 --> 00:17:13.160 Like, the it behooves 263 00:17:14.415 --> 00:17:18.415 the Spotifys and the Apple Podcasts of the world to host for you. 264 00:17:18.415 --> 00:17:22.655 They get to use your content to push ads and stuff. 265 00:17:22.655 --> 00:17:28.435 Like, they have all kinds of reasoning where you usually aren't charging for that. So anyone can 266 00:17:28.819 --> 00:17:30.900 Calvin, correct me on that, but I'm 267 00:17:31.520 --> 00:17:35.220 very certain that they're at the time at this moment, they're not charging. 268 00:17:36.080 --> 00:17:36.820 So, Nina, 269 00:17:37.120 --> 00:17:47.455 I just explained quickly how we send it to them is what you're gonna do on your end is you're going to grab this link to the podcast RSS feed and share it with that podcast's, 270 00:17:49.595 --> 00:17:50.795 with that podcast player. 271 00:17:50.795 --> 00:17:54.735 They're all different, so I can't necessarily go through what you would do specifically. 272 00:17:55.275 --> 00:17:58.100 Like, Spotify, you have to go to Spotify for creators. 273 00:17:58.100 --> 00:18:01.480 It's actually a separate subset of their main app and share it with them. 274 00:18:01.539 --> 00:18:03.220 Apple Podcasts, it's much easier. 275 00:18:03.220 --> 00:18:06.519 You just you could just Google, how do I share my podcast on Apple? 276 00:18:06.580 --> 00:18:09.825 And it'll just walk you through the steps on sharing that all they want is this link. 277 00:18:09.825 --> 00:18:14.085 So you just send them that link. It connects the two, and then you're you're good to go there. 278 00:18:16.625 --> 00:18:19.024 So Penny says, can you go over the RSS feed again? 279 00:18:19.024 --> 00:18:22.644 Do we need to just add the RSS from Simplero or separate address for each platform? 280 00:18:22.945 --> 00:18:24.005 It's the same 281 00:18:24.544 --> 00:18:26.560 RSS feed for every platform, 282 00:18:27.020 --> 00:18:30.240 but you do have to share it with the individual platforms. 283 00:18:30.380 --> 00:18:36.300 If you want it to be on all of the popular ones, you will need to share it with each of them. 284 00:18:36.300 --> 00:18:40.825 You have to share your RSS link with that. So I would recommend, Benny, 285 00:18:41.765 --> 00:18:44.585 Google Podcasts or Google Play, I think it is, 286 00:18:45.125 --> 00:18:45.625 Spotify, 287 00:18:46.005 --> 00:18:48.965 and Apple. That's like that's you're hitting 99% 288 00:18:48.965 --> 00:18:50.825 of the world right there. And then 289 00:18:51.685 --> 00:18:52.505 other people 290 00:18:53.020 --> 00:19:00.480 that don't use those can literally just listen to it from their Simplero app or their browser or however they wanna do it. 291 00:19:00.620 --> 00:19:01.120 So 292 00:19:01.820 --> 00:19:08.655 if you get a special request too, though, like, let's say, like, one of your customers is weird like me and loves podcast addicts. 293 00:19:09.935 --> 00:19:13.955 You they could say to you, hey. Could you share this with podcast addicts so I can get it there too? 294 00:19:14.335 --> 00:19:14.835 So, 295 00:19:16.415 --> 00:19:19.295 transcript with the recording, they can read and listen. That's gonna be 296 00:19:20.655 --> 00:19:26.120 to be honest, I don't know the answer to that question inside of or outside of Simplero. Right? 297 00:19:26.120 --> 00:19:31.180 Like, that data is probably sent, and I think it's gonna be based on the podcast, 298 00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:36.840 player end if it's, you know, Apple or Spotify or whatever. 299 00:19:36.840 --> 00:19:41.434 Like, they can read that data, but do they have the ability to 300 00:19:42.215 --> 00:19:43.355 do it as a transcript? 301 00:19:44.375 --> 00:19:45.434 So I think so. 302 00:19:46.294 --> 00:19:47.195 Let's see. 303 00:19:48.054 --> 00:19:49.515 If we were to go to 304 00:19:51.509 --> 00:19:55.210 let's go look. I'm gonna actually test that right now. So here's the latest episode. 305 00:19:56.950 --> 00:19:57.450 Transcript. 306 00:19:57.909 --> 00:20:02.009 Boom. So inside some player, yes. They will see the transcript inside of some player. 307 00:20:02.615 --> 00:20:04.535 So you that is a that is a yes. 308 00:20:04.535 --> 00:20:07.995 If they consume it inside of some Plurio, then they will be able to see that. 309 00:20:08.775 --> 00:20:11.595 You know? Yes. You will get the recording of this for sure. 310 00:20:13.895 --> 00:20:18.190 YouTube podcast. It's gonna be the same process. We don't have a button for 311 00:20:18.570 --> 00:20:24.270 it. Right? Like, it's not up here, but that doesn't mean you can't share it. Right? So this is, 312 00:20:24.970 --> 00:20:27.210 like, their, at a glance, easiest way. 313 00:20:27.210 --> 00:20:30.985 If they use YouTube, you would share your RSS link with YouTube. 314 00:20:30.985 --> 00:20:33.485 They have a way for you to integrate it. So, 315 00:20:34.745 --> 00:20:37.245 again, this is not a limitation. This is just 316 00:20:37.705 --> 00:20:42.365 quick links for your customers that may be using these particular things. So 317 00:20:42.985 --> 00:20:45.140 if if it's there, it's there. And that's the other thing. 318 00:20:45.140 --> 00:20:51.080 If it's a public podcast and you share the RSS link with those public podcast players, 319 00:20:52.020 --> 00:20:52.840 it's searchable. 320 00:20:53.140 --> 00:20:58.475 Right? Like, you can just tell people, look me up on YouTube podcast. Look me up on Spotify. 321 00:20:58.535 --> 00:21:01.435 You don't have to send them links or anything. So, 322 00:21:02.775 --> 00:21:04.155 Penny says, if I created 323 00:21:05.495 --> 00:21:10.555 video or audio, yes, it can. But, Penny, also, it's gonna depend on the the end player 324 00:21:11.095 --> 00:21:11.835 how that 325 00:21:12.630 --> 00:21:16.010 data format can be played. Like, I think that most 326 00:21:16.630 --> 00:21:21.110 podcast players or, you know, players can play things as video. 327 00:21:21.110 --> 00:21:23.690 I know Spotify can for sure, Apple can for sure. 328 00:21:24.565 --> 00:21:27.785 It's gonna be limited by that end that end player. 329 00:21:29.445 --> 00:21:35.765 So Penny says if I create a Zoom recording that end up being an interview, process it via video, then uploaded it, would still be fine as well? 330 00:21:35.765 --> 00:21:36.745 Yes. Totally. 331 00:21:37.125 --> 00:21:37.625 Yep. 332 00:21:37.925 --> 00:21:39.225 Loading these to the courses. 333 00:21:39.590 --> 00:21:41.450 Yep. So they can consume it, 334 00:21:42.470 --> 00:21:44.490 Penny, as a podcast, 335 00:21:44.950 --> 00:21:52.330 if it's private and it's a part of their product, right, like, you granted access via product, let's say, or a purchase, whatever, however you wanna think about it. 336 00:21:52.470 --> 00:21:55.655 Yes. They could consume that interview as a podcast. 337 00:21:56.275 --> 00:22:01.655 Or on the other hand, like, this is not something we're really gonna get into today, but it's the same kind of process. 338 00:22:02.035 --> 00:22:04.855 People can consume courses as a podcast. 339 00:22:05.235 --> 00:22:06.695 So the course itself, 340 00:22:07.235 --> 00:22:09.335 if you turn on that setting, has 341 00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:12.820 RSS feed link where they can 342 00:22:13.360 --> 00:22:15.299 grab that car RSS link, 343 00:22:15.679 --> 00:22:20.580 drop it in their podcast player, and play your courses. So 344 00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:24.899 both work. Right? This is a truly a podcast. Like, this is a podcast. 345 00:22:25.725 --> 00:22:30.625 And then, also, of course, this can be listened to as a podcast if it's audio or video content. 346 00:22:32.125 --> 00:22:36.145 And before works too, Penny. So, yeah, good good stuff. 347 00:22:36.845 --> 00:22:37.825 Alright. So, 348 00:22:38.684 --> 00:22:41.610 this is a podcast itself. This one is public. 349 00:22:41.990 --> 00:22:45.929 I do wanna touch on how you could possibly sell it or sell access. 350 00:22:46.230 --> 00:22:46.730 Right? 351 00:22:46.950 --> 00:22:53.289 So what we're gonna do is we're gonna make we're gonna make this thing first of all, what we wanna do is we wanna go into the settings, 352 00:22:53.750 --> 00:22:55.530 and we wanna make this thing 353 00:22:56.625 --> 00:22:57.525 private. Now 354 00:22:57.905 --> 00:23:01.605 it's private. Right? Like, it's not just available to anybody. 355 00:23:01.905 --> 00:23:03.045 It's not searchable 356 00:23:03.585 --> 00:23:04.645 on the platforms. 357 00:23:04.945 --> 00:23:08.850 Like, they no one can see this thing. Doesn't mean they can't play it. 358 00:23:08.929 --> 00:23:14.870 It means they can't see it because then anyone could just publicly grab it. So we're gonna go to 359 00:23:15.490 --> 00:23:19.429 marketing, and we're gonna make a product. So I'm gonna go to oh, sorry. I'm marketing sales. 360 00:23:19.730 --> 00:23:22.630 And then we're gonna go to products. I'm gonna open a new tab here. 361 00:23:24.524 --> 00:23:25.024 And 362 00:23:25.725 --> 00:23:27.424 let me just make this bigger. 363 00:23:31.245 --> 00:23:32.145 One second. 364 00:23:35.164 --> 00:23:37.424 Cool. Alright. So we're gonna create a new product, 365 00:23:38.220 --> 00:23:40.560 and we're gonna sell this baby. I'm gonna say, 366 00:23:42.300 --> 00:23:43.360 come on now. 367 00:23:44.860 --> 00:23:45.360 Silas's 368 00:23:47.820 --> 00:23:48.320 podcast. 369 00:23:50.674 --> 00:23:51.174 Alright. 370 00:23:51.715 --> 00:23:52.615 And subtitle, 371 00:23:52.995 --> 00:23:54.455 this is my workshop. 372 00:23:54.995 --> 00:23:55.495 Alright. 373 00:23:58.515 --> 00:24:02.370 Category, I don't need to do that. It's up to you. If you wanna add a facet, it's up to you. 374 00:24:02.770 --> 00:24:06.790 Sales ticket, that's, again, just another settings. You don't have to worry about that. 375 00:24:08.610 --> 00:24:12.150 Don't worry about this. It's all different facets, ways of organizing. 376 00:24:12.370 --> 00:24:18.235 Again, we'll have other workshops on what all these things truly mean, but this is my podcast. 377 00:24:22.455 --> 00:24:23.755 Got some lag here. 378 00:24:24.855 --> 00:24:29.275 And then we'll just so here's the kicker. I'm gonna address this right now. 379 00:24:30.580 --> 00:24:32.039 If this is a podcast 380 00:24:32.340 --> 00:24:37.960 that you want to be a subscription based access, you need to do that now. Right? 381 00:24:38.340 --> 00:24:44.200 You need to make sure that you set this up as a subscription based price. If it's a onetime price 382 00:24:44.825 --> 00:24:50.605 and you grant access the way I'm about to show you via the product, it's going to give them access forever. 383 00:24:51.305 --> 00:24:54.425 And there are ways to prevent that, but we're gonna talk about it in a second. 384 00:24:54.425 --> 00:24:57.950 So this is the first decision that you need to make. Is this a subscription 385 00:24:58.490 --> 00:25:06.990 based access where, like, they pay $9 a month, for example, and they get access to your podcast, and then they stop paying $9 a month, they lose access to your podcast. 386 00:25:07.450 --> 00:25:11.470 That's a decision you can make right now. So we'll do that. We'll just call this monthly. 387 00:25:12.335 --> 00:25:13.715 We'll call it $9. 388 00:25:14.975 --> 00:25:17.855 That's pretty steep for a podcast. I mean, maybe not. I don't know. 389 00:25:17.855 --> 00:25:21.555 Depends on how much value you're given. So I'm gonna create this guy, 390 00:25:23.870 --> 00:25:25.890 and we're inside of the product. 391 00:25:26.510 --> 00:25:30.450 Now this is the most important tab here. It's gonna be the content tab. 392 00:25:30.830 --> 00:25:33.410 So this is where we're gonna go and see 393 00:25:33.710 --> 00:25:35.890 how we can provide access. 394 00:25:37.070 --> 00:25:37.570 Again, 395 00:25:38.125 --> 00:25:52.304 if you've if you're brand new to Simplero and this is, like, one of the first things you've ever seen, like, going deep, going off into the weeds, hard in the paint, however you wanna describe this, we have lots of other workshops that we can go deep in-depth on products themselves 396 00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:56.080 and any of the other feature sets. Today is not the day to do that. 397 00:25:56.080 --> 00:25:58.160 I will answer any questions that you guys have, though. 398 00:25:58.160 --> 00:26:03.220 But for all, intents and purposes right now, content is gonna be where I wanna go. 399 00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:05.475 And this is where I'm going to grant access. 400 00:26:05.554 --> 00:26:10.855 So I'm gonna go down here to podcasts, and it says give access to podcasts, and I'm gonna give access 401 00:26:11.554 --> 00:26:13.015 to Silas for workshop. 402 00:26:13.554 --> 00:26:15.174 So when someone buys a product, 403 00:26:15.715 --> 00:26:19.975 this is what they're getting. That's it. Right? So if I save that, boom. 404 00:26:20.539 --> 00:26:21.039 Done. 405 00:26:21.659 --> 00:26:23.120 Now when they purchase it, 406 00:26:23.500 --> 00:26:24.559 they're going to 407 00:26:25.179 --> 00:26:27.360 get access to the product. 408 00:26:27.980 --> 00:26:31.340 I'm not gonna buy it right now, but this is what they would get. Boom. 409 00:26:31.340 --> 00:26:39.185 It's gonna give them access, send them an email, show them the link where they can add it to their what it's gonna do is it's gonna show them the podcast's 410 00:26:39.565 --> 00:26:44.225 page that you that I showed you previously. Let's see if I still have that up. 411 00:26:45.165 --> 00:26:47.085 This page right here. Yep. It's gonna show them that page. 412 00:26:47.085 --> 00:26:50.545 And then from there, they can then add that RSS feed 413 00:26:50.940 --> 00:26:51.580 to their 414 00:26:51.980 --> 00:26:52.480 sorry. 415 00:26:52.860 --> 00:26:56.700 Clicking all over the place. They can add that RSS feed to their player. Right? 416 00:26:56.700 --> 00:26:59.659 And just because it's private, they can still do that. Right? 417 00:26:59.659 --> 00:27:04.365 Like, once you list it with the players, you can send it out, and then they can 418 00:27:05.245 --> 00:27:06.865 still listen to a private podcast. 419 00:27:07.965 --> 00:27:09.985 I do need to say something, though. Spotify 420 00:27:10.285 --> 00:27:14.145 handles this in a completely different way. They make it very difficult to 421 00:27:15.804 --> 00:27:18.785 play private podcasts. There is a workaround, 422 00:27:19.350 --> 00:27:23.530 but it's gonna be through some player for creator or Spotify for creators. 423 00:27:23.750 --> 00:27:28.730 You have to go in there and then create a different type of access. I'm not even exactly sure 424 00:27:29.110 --> 00:27:30.390 where they stand right now. 425 00:27:30.390 --> 00:27:36.445 Like, they they don't they're not friendly with private podcasts, so you need a secondary integration which Simplero doesn't have. 426 00:27:36.445 --> 00:27:42.465 So if it's a deal breaker that your sold or paid for private podcast 427 00:27:42.924 --> 00:27:44.705 has to be listened to on Spotify, 428 00:27:45.370 --> 00:27:52.029 you might be a little bit annoyed currently because it's it's we can't directly integrate with them if it's if it's a private podcast. 429 00:27:52.730 --> 00:27:53.230 But 430 00:27:53.610 --> 00:27:58.909 either way, this is how they would get it into their player even though it's private. Same thing. 431 00:27:59.655 --> 00:28:01.115 So once they buy it, they're 432 00:28:02.215 --> 00:28:03.835 in. Now if we go back here, 433 00:28:04.295 --> 00:28:07.675 I wanted to also touch on sorry. Let's go manage this product. 434 00:28:08.695 --> 00:28:14.039 What happens if you do just want it to be, like, a onetime purchase, but you want the access to expire. 435 00:28:14.039 --> 00:28:19.100 This is another use case. I just wanted to cover this. Right? So let's say my pricing, 436 00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:20.940 I'll explain this in a second, 437 00:28:21.240 --> 00:28:25.259 were not a subscription price. Right? I could turn this off. I can do 438 00:28:25.960 --> 00:28:27.179 another price, 439 00:28:28.155 --> 00:28:30.175 and we can do single payment 440 00:28:30.635 --> 00:28:31.695 forever and ever. 441 00:28:32.075 --> 00:28:33.135 $99. 442 00:28:33.755 --> 00:28:35.135 Right? Lifetime access 443 00:28:35.435 --> 00:28:38.015 with some fine print or something, let's say. 444 00:28:39.355 --> 00:28:41.055 So now they have 445 00:28:41.570 --> 00:28:46.390 for $99, they get access to this podcast forever because it's in the content tab. 446 00:28:46.770 --> 00:28:51.670 But let's talk about what you would do if you didn't want it to be given or granted forever. 447 00:28:51.890 --> 00:28:53.490 Let's say, like, $99 448 00:28:53.490 --> 00:28:54.309 gives them 449 00:28:54.725 --> 00:28:57.705 a year, and it's not a renewable subscription. 450 00:28:57.845 --> 00:29:00.885 This is a very weird use case, but this is how you would do it. 451 00:29:00.885 --> 00:29:03.225 You would grant them access via the automation. 452 00:29:04.085 --> 00:29:08.490 So when someone gets access to the product, we are going to probably send them an email. 453 00:29:08.730 --> 00:29:10.510 But, like, you could do a custom automation 454 00:29:10.970 --> 00:29:11.630 and then 455 00:29:12.970 --> 00:29:16.350 boom. We're going to do other, and we could do 456 00:29:18.410 --> 00:29:19.870 give access to a podcast. 457 00:29:22.235 --> 00:29:22.735 And 458 00:29:23.115 --> 00:29:24.655 do stylus for workshop. 459 00:29:25.995 --> 00:29:29.115 Create the step. So as soon as they buy, they get access to the podcast. 460 00:29:29.115 --> 00:29:32.255 This is important that's an automation because it's not tied 461 00:29:32.635 --> 00:29:39.130 to the subscription itself, basically. Right? It's a onetime forever fee. Then we could wait 462 00:29:40.390 --> 00:29:41.370 let's just go 463 00:29:41.990 --> 00:29:43.210 I think this makes sense. 464 00:29:43.910 --> 00:29:45.370 We could wait, like, 465 00:29:46.230 --> 00:29:46.970 a year. 466 00:29:50.645 --> 00:29:51.625 I don't want months. 467 00:29:51.925 --> 00:29:52.825 Let's do custom. 468 00:29:57.685 --> 00:30:00.745 Like, let's do twelve months. Yeah. That should be like that. 469 00:30:02.220 --> 00:30:05.120 And then what we would do is add another step. 470 00:30:10.140 --> 00:30:10.640 Podcast. 471 00:30:11.420 --> 00:30:12.400 Public access. 472 00:30:12.780 --> 00:30:14.940 So this would this $99 473 00:30:14.940 --> 00:30:17.535 would give them one year access to the podcast. 474 00:30:18.475 --> 00:30:22.495 Now if you wanted, like, something like this, gives them a year, you would do $99 475 00:30:22.555 --> 00:30:23.055 renewable. 476 00:30:23.835 --> 00:30:27.855 So every year, they would pay $99, and that would be even easier. But 477 00:30:28.210 --> 00:30:30.290 whatever. This is just so you guys can see. 478 00:30:30.290 --> 00:30:35.430 If you're not granting the access via the content tab itself, you would grant via an automation. 479 00:30:36.610 --> 00:30:39.030 So that's how you would sell your private podcast. 480 00:30:40.925 --> 00:30:46.765 Let's see what else we missed here. That like, I know I've talked fast, and we went through a lot. 481 00:30:46.765 --> 00:30:47.265 And, 482 00:30:47.645 --> 00:30:49.345 hopefully, I made it as clean 483 00:30:49.725 --> 00:30:50.545 as possible, 484 00:30:51.325 --> 00:30:51.825 but 485 00:30:52.285 --> 00:30:53.505 just wanna make sure. 486 00:31:00.300 --> 00:31:00.800 Yep. 487 00:31:01.420 --> 00:31:02.720 We got it. We covered 488 00:31:04.060 --> 00:31:07.920 all of it. There's gonna be some other cool fringe stuff that you guys 489 00:31:08.460 --> 00:31:14.945 are gonna be curious about, like, in like, what can we do with with the podcast itself? 490 00:31:16.125 --> 00:31:17.745 Let's see what else can we do. 491 00:31:25.610 --> 00:31:26.669 Oh, subscribers. 492 00:31:27.049 --> 00:31:32.270 I don't have any yet, but I could add we could just add let's add some subscribers so you guys can see. 493 00:31:32.730 --> 00:31:34.110 So let's go. Glenda, 494 00:31:34.570 --> 00:31:35.870 Scott, test infinity, 495 00:31:37.934 --> 00:31:39.715 and we'll add somebody else. 496 00:31:40.654 --> 00:31:41.394 Jim Bob. 497 00:31:43.054 --> 00:31:44.355 So we got these guys. 498 00:31:44.815 --> 00:31:47.215 This is their private RSS URL. 499 00:31:47.215 --> 00:31:53.169 The same one that they're gonna get post purchase, you can copy this and resend it to them, do all kinds of stuff with it. 500 00:31:53.390 --> 00:31:53.890 But 501 00:31:54.429 --> 00:31:57.970 now that they're in here, you can do all kinds of things to them as well. 502 00:31:58.590 --> 00:32:01.890 You could turn off their subscription manually right here. 503 00:32:02.590 --> 00:32:04.690 That's how you would do that there. 504 00:32:06.975 --> 00:32:07.715 Let's see. 505 00:32:08.575 --> 00:32:09.795 What else are we missing? 506 00:32:12.335 --> 00:32:13.475 I think that's about 507 00:32:14.415 --> 00:32:19.135 all we really can cover as far as how we got things going here. So good. 508 00:32:19.135 --> 00:32:22.960 The questions are gonna reveal all of the the fringe cases that I did not cover. 509 00:32:23.100 --> 00:32:24.640 So Alexandra has a question 510 00:32:25.100 --> 00:32:25.820 two questions. 511 00:32:25.820 --> 00:32:31.040 Just wrapped up season one of my podcast, hosted it through Buzzsprout, and it goes to YouTube, Apple, and Spotify. 512 00:32:31.340 --> 00:32:35.120 What would be the best practice if I wanted to host it in Simplero moving forward? 513 00:32:35.684 --> 00:32:38.345 Would you recommend migrating existing episodes 514 00:32:38.884 --> 00:32:43.384 to Simplero and then creating the rest within? What would be the best way to manage that? 515 00:32:43.764 --> 00:32:47.225 To answer that first question, yes. If you wanted it to be, like, a seamless 516 00:32:48.870 --> 00:32:49.370 transition 517 00:32:49.990 --> 00:32:53.290 without people having to, like, go in two places to see 518 00:32:53.590 --> 00:32:58.690 the stuff that was previously published with whatever whatever other publisher you had and then now with Simplero, 519 00:32:59.110 --> 00:33:06.985 you would need to grab all of those episodes, load them in as episodes, give them published to date so they are in a list, and then give 520 00:33:07.525 --> 00:33:08.905 your tribe people, however, 521 00:33:09.925 --> 00:33:13.465 you know, links and let them know that this this new thing exists. 522 00:33:14.130 --> 00:33:18.230 You could leave the old one up if you wanted to because it has its own data. 523 00:33:18.290 --> 00:33:22.530 Like, let's say you need it you wanted to know, like, subscriber data on Spotify or all that stuff. 524 00:33:22.530 --> 00:33:25.030 Like, you would lose that if you deleted it. 525 00:33:25.090 --> 00:33:34.035 But if that's, like, not exactly super important, you just really want to get off of your previous hoster, you could bring them all in and then just tell everyone how to get access. 526 00:33:34.495 --> 00:33:37.555 And then you're welcome. We can elaborate on that a bit. 527 00:33:39.330 --> 00:33:44.070 If my podcast is in English and someone listens on the platform in Brazil, will it translate automatically? 528 00:33:44.370 --> 00:33:46.149 No. That would be amazing, 529 00:33:46.690 --> 00:33:49.669 but I'm I'm very sure that it won't automatically 530 00:33:49.970 --> 00:33:51.990 translate to them in Portuguese. 531 00:33:52.450 --> 00:33:52.950 Right? 532 00:33:56.025 --> 00:33:57.805 Yeah. So that answers that. 533 00:33:58.105 --> 00:34:02.825 I think but, Alexandra, if you wanna unmute, we can just jump right into questions too. 534 00:34:02.825 --> 00:34:06.665 If you wanted to elaborate on any of those, that'd be great. Yeah. I just had a question. 535 00:34:06.665 --> 00:34:08.535 Thank you for that. So because 536 00:34:09.850 --> 00:34:12.989 first time that I did it, I was like, screw this. I'm doing a podcast. 537 00:34:13.690 --> 00:34:19.070 Yeah. And now I'm like, okay. I would rather I would really like to host it within Simplero 538 00:34:19.290 --> 00:34:23.550 and such just because it makes my life so much easier. Right? Right. So 539 00:34:24.545 --> 00:34:25.685 now on the 540 00:34:26.225 --> 00:34:29.205 I guess, I will have a different RSS 541 00:34:29.585 --> 00:34:30.085 feed 542 00:34:31.425 --> 00:34:33.445 from when it was hosted in 543 00:34:34.864 --> 00:34:35.364 Buzzsprout 544 00:34:35.745 --> 00:34:37.786 because it's being now hosted through Simplero. 545 00:34:38.145 --> 00:34:40.040 Right? Correct. Yeah. Yeah. 546 00:34:41.460 --> 00:34:44.040 Buzzsprout made you know, you shared that Buzzsprout 547 00:34:44.500 --> 00:34:48.739 with or maybe they did it automatically. I'm not sure how Buzzsprout works. I'm sure that Yeah. 548 00:34:48.739 --> 00:34:51.960 I had to do all the steps too for them to disseminate. 549 00:34:52.784 --> 00:34:53.525 Yep. So it would be 550 00:34:54.385 --> 00:35:00.565 if we could co it could coexist and live as, like, a beautiful old thing that people could still search 551 00:35:01.825 --> 00:35:08.010 and or you would bring all of your old episodes, load them into your media library, upload them as podcast episodes. 552 00:35:08.010 --> 00:35:08.670 And then 553 00:35:10.010 --> 00:35:13.150 So I guess the question is for people that are 554 00:35:13.529 --> 00:35:14.029 subscribed 555 00:35:15.769 --> 00:35:17.069 on the existing 556 00:35:18.305 --> 00:35:18.805 platforms 557 00:35:19.185 --> 00:35:21.605 with through Buzzsprout would have to then 558 00:35:22.145 --> 00:35:22.645 resubscribe 559 00:35:23.585 --> 00:35:24.085 through 560 00:35:24.965 --> 00:35:25.445 Simplero. 561 00:35:26.785 --> 00:35:30.485 Correct. Yeah. You can't see buds Buds Sprout subscriptions. 562 00:35:30.545 --> 00:35:33.859 And then we also gotta be clear with definitions. Right? Like, a Simplero 563 00:35:34.359 --> 00:35:37.820 subscriber, like, if you're they're subscribing to your Simplero podcast, 564 00:35:38.840 --> 00:35:41.580 that to us, again, only matters if it's private. 565 00:35:42.040 --> 00:35:44.359 Right? Like, that data is not, like Yeah. 566 00:35:44.520 --> 00:35:49.734 As important as, like, you know, the Joe Rogan podcast has seven bajillion subscribers or whatever. 567 00:35:49.875 --> 00:35:51.015 Like, that's gonna be 568 00:35:51.394 --> 00:35:52.535 platform independent. 569 00:35:52.994 --> 00:35:57.567 Right? And Buzzsprout probably has their own platform too. And can you see through Simplero 570 00:35:58.035 --> 00:36:00.454 what those numbers are on each of the platforms? 571 00:36:01.240 --> 00:36:05.100 No. We can only see the the internal subscriber accounts 572 00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:06.840 from from your private. Okay. 573 00:36:06.840 --> 00:36:14.140 So people who listen to the podcast through Simplero, those are the numbers we can see, but we can't see Apple, Spotify, etcetera, etcetera. 574 00:36:14.454 --> 00:36:15.494 Yeah. Yep. Okay. 575 00:36:15.494 --> 00:36:19.755 I'll double check on that for you too, but I'm I'm pretty sure we don't push that data back. 576 00:36:20.135 --> 00:36:21.595 Okay. Thank you. 577 00:36:22.135 --> 00:36:22.635 Cool. 578 00:36:23.095 --> 00:36:24.714 Let's make a note of that, actually. 579 00:36:26.055 --> 00:36:29.595 So I wanna make a 100% sure, so I'll follow-up with you. 580 00:36:31.890 --> 00:36:32.390 Okay. 581 00:36:32.690 --> 00:36:33.190 And 582 00:36:33.570 --> 00:36:37.670 anybody else, what questions do you guys have? Let's talk about it if you got some. 583 00:36:40.210 --> 00:36:41.250 Nina's got a quest 584 00:36:42.210 --> 00:36:43.270 Go for it, Nina. 585 00:36:46.164 --> 00:36:48.984 Will the subscribers have to get a message when there's a new episode? 586 00:36:50.644 --> 00:36:51.144 That's 587 00:36:52.005 --> 00:36:55.865 that no. It's not like a a blog in that same way. 588 00:36:58.325 --> 00:36:58.984 You can 589 00:36:59.600 --> 00:37:03.220 create emails and broadcast emails to trigger stuff like that, but 590 00:37:03.600 --> 00:37:06.980 they do not just get a a brand new podcast episode 591 00:37:08.480 --> 00:37:08.980 message. 592 00:37:10.720 --> 00:37:11.220 Okay. 593 00:37:12.560 --> 00:37:14.500 So if we wanted to have 594 00:37:15.734 --> 00:37:18.954 an automated message sent when a new episode was, 595 00:37:20.855 --> 00:37:25.973 that was uploaded, would that be an automation that could be sent through Simplero? 596 00:37:26.855 --> 00:37:27.355 Yep. 597 00:37:27.734 --> 00:37:28.555 Let me just 598 00:37:29.414 --> 00:37:30.395 see if we can 599 00:37:32.080 --> 00:37:33.060 I'm gonna see 600 00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:35.700 if we can set that up. 601 00:37:41.359 --> 00:37:41.859 Cool. 602 00:37:42.240 --> 00:37:42.740 So 603 00:37:44.640 --> 00:37:45.780 let's see here. 604 00:37:48.955 --> 00:37:51.535 What kind of actions do we have? Not there. 605 00:37:53.435 --> 00:37:56.175 I'm trying to remember the best way to do this. 606 00:38:00.690 --> 00:38:01.910 Let's actually ask. 607 00:38:03.090 --> 00:38:05.190 Would it be on the main, like, 608 00:38:05.490 --> 00:38:07.030 settings for the entire, 609 00:38:07.810 --> 00:38:10.070 podcast rather than individual episodes? 610 00:38:10.850 --> 00:38:15.675 Yeah. I mean, we we're this is the this is the main settings for the whole podcast, this guy right 611 00:38:16.215 --> 00:38:18.315 here. So it's not inside of here. 612 00:38:19.815 --> 00:38:21.035 I'm not sure. I 613 00:38:21.415 --> 00:38:23.755 know there's a way to do that. Let's see. 614 00:38:24.215 --> 00:38:26.395 I'll get you an answer. Give me one second. 615 00:38:37.220 --> 00:38:39.320 Let's see. Maybe we can build 616 00:38:48.755 --> 00:38:49.815 Let's try this. 617 00:38:55.349 --> 00:38:56.549 Alright. We're gonna go 618 00:38:57.190 --> 00:39:00.410 because it's not internally in here. The trigger doesn't exist here. 619 00:39:01.349 --> 00:39:02.730 So let's just go 620 00:39:03.269 --> 00:39:04.410 and see what we have. 621 00:39:10.405 --> 00:39:11.625 I'm gonna call it 622 00:39:18.725 --> 00:39:20.665 come on now. It's taking forever. 623 00:39:22.940 --> 00:39:25.760 I'm gonna make this flexible so it's not tied to anything. 624 00:39:34.795 --> 00:39:36.335 So we're gonna add a trigger. 625 00:39:41.195 --> 00:39:44.415 Yeah. We don't have any triggers for that. Let's see. 626 00:39:57.609 --> 00:39:58.829 What can we do? 627 00:40:07.295 --> 00:40:09.234 So these are the only two we have. 628 00:40:13.150 --> 00:40:17.250 Yeah. Doesn't look like we can. I could have sworn there was a way to do that. 629 00:40:19.630 --> 00:40:20.690 It's kind of a bummer. 630 00:40:23.150 --> 00:40:25.310 So, yeah, what I would do is I would just 631 00:40:25.955 --> 00:40:29.815 when the new episode drops, the easiest way to do that, though, would be to 632 00:40:30.435 --> 00:40:31.495 go to your subscribers, 633 00:40:32.035 --> 00:40:33.015 and you could 634 00:40:34.115 --> 00:40:36.135 quickly send them all an email 635 00:40:36.755 --> 00:40:38.695 drop down, send an email. 636 00:40:40.370 --> 00:40:41.270 So let's see. 637 00:40:44.770 --> 00:40:45.270 Yeah. 638 00:40:53.694 --> 00:40:56.355 It's telling me there's a podcast triggers tab, 639 00:40:56.655 --> 00:40:57.714 but it's not here. 640 00:41:04.734 --> 00:41:08.010 So, yeah, that would be the way to do it just for now until 641 00:41:08.710 --> 00:41:11.690 we get that awesome feature request going 642 00:41:12.710 --> 00:41:13.690 would be to, 643 00:41:14.550 --> 00:41:17.750 just send them an email broadcast after after you've built it. 644 00:41:17.750 --> 00:41:19.610 Just like once you upload it, immediately 645 00:41:19.910 --> 00:41:21.850 click on your subscribers and then 646 00:41:22.355 --> 00:41:23.255 go from there. 647 00:41:25.555 --> 00:41:27.974 Man, I cannot believe we don't have that. 648 00:41:30.115 --> 00:41:33.335 That's a great question. I'm gonna make an internal feature request 649 00:41:33.635 --> 00:41:35.255 to make sure that that gets pushed. 650 00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:40.260 Cool. Let's see. 651 00:41:47.599 --> 00:41:49.440 Yep. So I've just confirmed. Yeah. 652 00:41:49.440 --> 00:41:52.660 There's no there's no way to do that currently, so that's a great idea. 653 00:41:53.415 --> 00:41:55.995 It's not even an object inside of automation. So 654 00:41:57.015 --> 00:41:59.755 sorry about that, guys. It's great. It's a good idea, though. 655 00:42:00.535 --> 00:42:01.675 Let's see here. 656 00:42:02.055 --> 00:42:04.635 Is that is that the only question you had about that, Penny? 657 00:42:05.430 --> 00:42:05.910 Is there any other 658 00:42:06.790 --> 00:42:09.690 Yeah. Because I'm I've been I've been waiting 659 00:42:10.470 --> 00:42:11.849 for a while to 660 00:42:12.230 --> 00:42:14.072 tackle this side of Simplero. 661 00:42:15.030 --> 00:42:15.349 And, 662 00:42:16.070 --> 00:42:20.890 once I start getting people signed up, I just wanna have it automated as easily as possible. 663 00:42:21.055 --> 00:42:25.475 As much as possible. Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, with the numerous hands 664 00:42:26.815 --> 00:42:30.675 numerous queries and pies that I have all the time. For sure. 665 00:42:30.975 --> 00:42:33.955 For sure. I'm just trying to think of, like, what's a relevant 666 00:42:34.710 --> 00:42:38.170 case for that. Like, I I subscribe to a lot of podcasts, and 667 00:42:38.710 --> 00:42:39.030 and, 668 00:42:39.830 --> 00:42:50.855 yeah, I'm not getting necessarily emailed when their new podcast drops, but I do you know, I'll get a newsletter or something where they mention that they they just did a podcast with with so and so or whatever. 669 00:42:50.855 --> 00:42:51.355 So 670 00:42:51.815 --> 00:42:54.375 but that might be a really good thing to, like, set us apart. 671 00:42:54.375 --> 00:42:58.395 It would be cool to to be able to target that specific thing. 672 00:42:59.040 --> 00:43:03.060 This is kind of I I have another question because I've been moving our 673 00:43:03.440 --> 00:43:07.700 blog. We haven't had a a blog for years for the big bad wolf. 674 00:43:08.080 --> 00:43:12.740 Mhmm. And I I moved everything over, and I've still gotta move them to 675 00:43:13.280 --> 00:43:13.780 my 676 00:43:14.565 --> 00:43:15.305 other platform. 677 00:43:16.325 --> 00:43:18.105 Mhmm. But could we 678 00:43:18.565 --> 00:43:22.025 because this is all content that we haven't updated in a long time. 679 00:43:22.805 --> 00:43:24.744 Would it make sense to 680 00:43:26.165 --> 00:43:29.704 take some of that content and redo it as a podcast? 681 00:43:34.300 --> 00:43:34.800 Yes. 682 00:43:35.100 --> 00:43:39.360 It depends. I guess the question would be, what do your customers 683 00:43:39.660 --> 00:43:40.160 most 684 00:43:41.020 --> 00:43:45.040 love to do? Like, how would they prefer to consume content? 685 00:43:45.865 --> 00:43:46.605 A podcast 686 00:43:47.465 --> 00:43:49.405 may be less steps than 687 00:43:50.185 --> 00:43:54.365 going into the course and then into the module and then into the lesson, for example. 688 00:43:54.665 --> 00:43:59.880 Like, you could you could just share the link to the podcast, and they could just open it straight there. 689 00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:02.380 So that might be something really cool. 690 00:44:02.519 --> 00:44:05.420 But I think, yeah, the bigger question is, like, customer behavior. 691 00:44:06.119 --> 00:44:08.299 Like, does it make sense for your customers 692 00:44:08.759 --> 00:44:10.460 would be the real question. 693 00:44:11.079 --> 00:44:11.400 Yeah. 694 00:44:11.400 --> 00:44:17.465 I'm I'm I'm thinking about the big bad what the store specifically rather than my consulting service. 695 00:44:18.085 --> 00:44:18.585 Sure. 696 00:44:19.045 --> 00:44:24.425 Yeah. For the store specifically, that's that'd be a really good way to release content for sure. 697 00:44:25.125 --> 00:44:25.625 Yeah. 698 00:44:26.060 --> 00:44:28.800 But it, you know, it will be, like, call the podcast 699 00:44:29.500 --> 00:44:32.800 and look like a podcast and smell like a podcast. So 700 00:44:34.940 --> 00:44:40.225 if you wanted to, like, mold this delivery mechanism into something else, it might be a little bit difficult. 701 00:44:40.225 --> 00:44:41.765 They're gonna be like, oh, this is a podcast 702 00:44:42.225 --> 00:44:44.645 because it's gonna say it in a few places. So 703 00:44:45.185 --> 00:44:47.125 that would be something to think about too. 704 00:44:49.585 --> 00:44:50.085 Cool. 705 00:44:51.220 --> 00:44:54.200 Alright. We got some hands raised. I'm gonna go with Julie. 706 00:44:55.380 --> 00:45:02.020 Hey, Julie. Nina was before me. Oh, she was? Okay. Cool. I I'm not seen. So go ahead, Nina. 707 00:45:02.020 --> 00:45:03.700 How can I help? Okay. Thanks. 708 00:45:04.260 --> 00:45:05.505 You might have said it, 709 00:45:05.984 --> 00:45:06.484 earlier, 710 00:45:06.785 --> 00:45:07.285 but 711 00:45:08.224 --> 00:45:09.765 in the main settings, 712 00:45:10.384 --> 00:45:14.838 the ad route, is that just where it will show on our Simplero? 713 00:45:15.664 --> 00:45:16.164 Mhmm. 714 00:45:18.065 --> 00:45:20.404 Sorry. Yeah. Can you say that again? Like, 715 00:45:21.510 --> 00:45:24.730 in the settings, there is something called add route. 716 00:45:25.430 --> 00:45:29.930 Route route. Yeah. Add route. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. And is that just 717 00:45:30.230 --> 00:45:32.090 where it will be shown 718 00:45:32.390 --> 00:45:32.970 in our 719 00:45:33.555 --> 00:45:37.175 like, if it's in the main page or members portal or whatever? 720 00:45:37.714 --> 00:45:43.075 Yep. So this is a quick way to add it to the navigation on your site. Yep. 721 00:45:43.075 --> 00:45:44.755 And that's something that I didn't touch on. 722 00:45:44.755 --> 00:45:47.800 Like, you can add this directly to the navigation of a site. 723 00:45:47.800 --> 00:45:52.220 Like, this is a site, Silas partner mock up. I could save that, and then boom. 724 00:45:52.359 --> 00:45:56.540 It's gonna go straight there, and then I can even change the slug right from here. 725 00:45:56.839 --> 00:46:00.715 And if we went to that site I'll show you real quick so you can see what it looks like. 726 00:46:01.175 --> 00:46:02.475 Could click on that. 727 00:46:03.975 --> 00:46:04.475 Boom. 728 00:46:05.095 --> 00:46:07.435 And then we can go look at the site real quick. 729 00:46:08.935 --> 00:46:11.195 And here's my site, and 730 00:46:12.695 --> 00:46:17.970 here's my podcast. So I just Yeah. Okay. Updated it. Yep. That's what that's for. Right. Thanks. 731 00:46:18.430 --> 00:46:18.930 Yeah. 732 00:46:27.790 --> 00:46:28.290 Cool. 733 00:46:29.984 --> 00:46:30.484 Julie, 734 00:46:31.025 --> 00:46:33.125 back to you. What's happening? Thank you. 735 00:46:33.825 --> 00:46:37.845 My question is, if you're trying to do a paid version 736 00:46:38.625 --> 00:46:41.605 Mhmm. Do you get like, in the courses, you can 737 00:46:42.420 --> 00:46:44.760 give people access to some free ones, 738 00:46:46.420 --> 00:46:51.480 and then it can link to to the paid. Do you get to do the same here? If it's private, 739 00:46:51.859 --> 00:46:54.440 do you get to do any that are public? 740 00:46:55.059 --> 00:46:57.319 Do you get to sort of, like, promote it? 741 00:46:58.345 --> 00:46:59.405 Yeah. Unfortunately, 742 00:46:59.865 --> 00:47:02.125 that's not a setting yet. Mhmm. 743 00:47:02.825 --> 00:47:07.165 What I would do in that version is do, like, the julie free, but still, 744 00:47:09.225 --> 00:47:12.525 you could call it private, but not paid. Right? Like, 745 00:47:12.980 --> 00:47:15.720 free private and then paid private. 746 00:47:16.180 --> 00:47:17.319 Right? Ah. 747 00:47:17.619 --> 00:47:22.520 Two separate things, though, because the access is gonna be just tied literally to the podcast, not the episodes. 748 00:47:23.380 --> 00:47:28.565 Yeah. So I'd have to make a an extra one that that they would subscribe to as the free 749 00:47:29.265 --> 00:47:29.765 Yeah. 750 00:47:29.905 --> 00:47:34.545 That had just some on there and there's no more, or I'd put one on there every now and then that's free. 751 00:47:34.545 --> 00:47:37.605 But if you wanted more, you'd have to come into the paid version. 752 00:47:38.225 --> 00:47:42.869 Correct. Yeah. Right. Okay. That's great, though. That's a really good use case. I like that. 753 00:47:43.010 --> 00:47:49.170 Like, at the at the episode level, decide what's what. Yeah. Yes. Yes. 754 00:47:49.170 --> 00:47:53.970 At the if you could just add that to your little list of things that we'd like, that'd be wonderful. 755 00:47:53.970 --> 00:47:55.510 Thank you. Do it. Yeah. 756 00:47:58.105 --> 00:47:59.645 Let me just make it one. 757 00:48:04.345 --> 00:48:07.725 Anna, actually, if I can piggyback on that because for 758 00:48:08.105 --> 00:48:13.609 coaching as well would be good if we chose to say, okay. Try it out for three coaching sessions. 759 00:48:15.509 --> 00:48:22.309 And if you like it, you continue. If you don't, you stop. But, anyways, that was just I like it. 760 00:48:22.309 --> 00:48:26.175 I mean, it's it's a it's a side quest, but you mean specifically, like, 761 00:48:26.735 --> 00:48:30.755 one on one scheduling links or coaching programs, something like that. Yeah. Cool. 762 00:48:42.480 --> 00:48:42.980 Alright. 763 00:48:43.440 --> 00:48:43.940 Alright. 764 00:48:44.240 --> 00:48:46.420 Let's see. I'm just making sure I got one. 765 00:48:52.665 --> 00:48:54.345 Awesome. What other questions do we got? 766 00:48:54.345 --> 00:48:58.365 Thanks for poking holes in this thing and letting me know what you need too. 767 00:48:58.985 --> 00:49:01.645 I work right next to product. I can bother them. 768 00:49:04.700 --> 00:49:07.680 Anybody else? Any other questions, thoughts, feedback? 769 00:49:07.980 --> 00:49:09.920 We all gonna start a podcast now? 770 00:49:10.779 --> 00:49:12.400 It's important to start a podcast, 771 00:49:13.180 --> 00:49:13.920 I think. 772 00:49:14.859 --> 00:49:15.839 Hold on here. 773 00:49:17.525 --> 00:49:19.065 My chat is not open. 774 00:49:23.525 --> 00:49:25.865 Got some more. Thank you. Awesome. Cool. 775 00:49:26.725 --> 00:49:28.985 Right. Yep. Cool. Alright. Well, that's it. 776 00:49:29.440 --> 00:49:33.620 If nobody has anything else to add, I really appreciate you all for coming. 777 00:49:33.920 --> 00:49:36.740 Hopefully, this sheds some light on the podcast feature, 778 00:49:37.040 --> 00:49:38.420 and, you know, it's developing. 779 00:49:38.640 --> 00:49:44.385 If you if you got a great argument as to why it should operate in a certain way, you let us know. 780 00:49:44.385 --> 00:49:46.085 Right? Put it on that idea board. 781 00:49:46.545 --> 00:49:49.445 Calvin, you know, he loves to make things better. 782 00:49:49.985 --> 00:49:50.485 Carlos. 783 00:49:51.425 --> 00:49:54.565 Yes. Carlos, may I just share that I was in a different platform, 784 00:49:55.185 --> 00:49:57.045 and they have started a 785 00:49:57.590 --> 00:49:58.410 video style 786 00:49:58.870 --> 00:49:59.370 podcast 787 00:50:00.070 --> 00:50:04.230 of people on their platform and their success and things like that. So 788 00:50:04.630 --> 00:50:06.923 Yeah. When you say Simplero 789 00:50:07.270 --> 00:50:11.450 Simpliaro needs a podcast, I think you're correct. It it does its own marketing. 790 00:50:11.994 --> 00:50:15.455 You should see my Calvin, my my project management. 791 00:50:15.915 --> 00:50:17.295 Like, I that I've 792 00:50:17.835 --> 00:50:22.234 there's outlines and it there's even guests.
