00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.260
So one of the most important parts of your platform is the content.

2
00:00:05.260 --> 00:00:09.380
After all, that is why people are wanting to come to your platform.

3
00:00:09.380 --> 00:00:14.260
They're paying to get access to your platform is to really get the content.

4
00:00:14.260 --> 00:00:20.820
And so everything in Tribe, every page where you're viewing content, can be managed in

5
00:00:20.820 --> 00:00:21.820
the dashboard.

6
00:00:21.820 --> 00:00:25.700
And I'll show you how to add various types of content in this video.

7
00:00:25.700 --> 00:00:32.960
Now, you know, we use this one idea of content to do a lot of different things.

8
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:39.260
Content can be a video, content could be a live stream, it could be an embedded video,

9
00:00:39.260 --> 00:00:45.060
it could be a download link, it could be a zoom link to access a zoom meeting, it can

10
00:00:45.060 --> 00:00:47.260
even be a blog post.

11
00:00:47.260 --> 00:00:52.380
And it can even be a, like I said, a link, download PDF, anything like that.

12
00:00:52.380 --> 00:00:55.280
So we use this for a number of different things.

13
00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:00.500
But what's great about this is, is you can make two or three different pieces of content

14
00:01:00.500 --> 00:01:06.780
and group them together in a collection, we'll show you how to do all that here on the platform.

15
00:01:06.780 --> 00:01:11.180
But it's a great way to kind of move things around the platform very easily.

16
00:01:11.180 --> 00:01:15.300
And the important thing is to kind of think that each piece of content is really its own

17
00:01:15.300 --> 00:01:16.580
page.

18
00:01:16.580 --> 00:01:20.620
And so each of those pages will have a specific link that you can send people to.

19
00:01:20.860 --> 00:01:23.140
And that's a great way to think about content.

20
00:01:23.140 --> 00:01:24.140
So let's jump into it.

21
00:01:24.140 --> 00:01:27.500
And I'll show you how to create your first piece of content.

22
00:01:27.500 --> 00:01:32.340
So head over to your dashboard, click on the content tab here on the left.

23
00:01:32.340 --> 00:01:36.020
And we'll click the add content in the top right.

24
00:01:36.020 --> 00:01:37.140
Now you can give a title.

25
00:01:37.140 --> 00:01:42.220
So this is my first post.

26
00:01:42.220 --> 00:01:47.580
And the publish date, you can set or just leave blank by default, it's going to be the

27
00:01:47.580 --> 00:01:53.060
time and date that you're creating this piece of content.

28
00:01:53.060 --> 00:01:55.020
You can then specify the author.

29
00:01:55.020 --> 00:01:57.300
So I can, by default, it's going to be me.

30
00:01:57.300 --> 00:02:01.780
But I can also set this up for another admin if needed.

31
00:02:01.780 --> 00:02:06.620
I can assign this piece of content to one of my existing collections.

32
00:02:06.620 --> 00:02:09.580
Or I can create a new collection in here.

33
00:02:09.580 --> 00:02:16.780
And I'm going to add this to my groups collection and this one just to test it.

34
00:02:16.980 --> 00:02:21.700
I can also specify if this content should just be available to a particular group.

35
00:02:21.700 --> 00:02:23.220
You can set that there.

36
00:02:23.220 --> 00:02:26.820
And there's a few other options here, which I'll show in a later video.

37
00:02:26.820 --> 00:02:31.780
So the important parts here are the featured image.

38
00:02:31.780 --> 00:02:38.460
This is what the image that you're going to see if I jump over here to a piece of content

39
00:02:38.460 --> 00:02:40.300
like this picture right here.

40
00:02:40.300 --> 00:02:41.900
That is the featured image.

41
00:02:41.900 --> 00:02:46.100
Or for example, this one here, I have adding and organizing your content.

42
00:02:46.100 --> 00:02:50.020
That image is the featured image there.

43
00:02:50.020 --> 00:02:52.580
So I'll go ahead and upload something.

44
00:02:52.580 --> 00:02:55.380
We'll go with Michael Scott for this example.

45
00:02:55.380 --> 00:02:58.420
And now I can choose the content type.

46
00:02:58.420 --> 00:03:02.380
So when you click this dropdown, there may be a number of options here.

47
00:03:02.380 --> 00:03:08.260
And it could be a little overwhelming, but just know that the main pieces of content

48
00:03:08.260 --> 00:03:11.260
here at the top are going to be the ones that you use the most.

49
00:03:11.260 --> 00:03:15.980
And so majority of the time, you're going to be uploading a video.

50
00:03:15.980 --> 00:03:21.300
We highly recommend that you host your videos with your platform.

51
00:03:21.300 --> 00:03:24.180
This enables that they play back the fastest.

52
00:03:24.180 --> 00:03:30.440
And it also is the most cost-effective way to stream your videos.

53
00:03:30.440 --> 00:03:34.060
If you're going to embed YouTube, you're going to get ads.

54
00:03:34.060 --> 00:03:38.620
If you embed Vimeo, you're going to rack up a lot of fees with Vimeo bandwidth, especially

55
00:03:38.620 --> 00:03:40.380
as your community scales.

56
00:03:40.380 --> 00:03:45.640
So we have built in our own video hosting right into the platform.

57
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:51.120
So when you upload a video into the platform, it actually hosts it on a platform that you

58
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:52.560
own, right?

59
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:54.520
So you always have access to it.

60
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:58.640
And it's also set up to play back really, really fast and very efficiently on a lot

61
00:03:58.640 --> 00:03:59.760
of different devices.

62
00:03:59.760 --> 00:04:01.280
So leverage that.

63
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:04.480
That is the default way to get videos in here.

64
00:04:04.480 --> 00:04:05.880
But there are other ways to do it.

65
00:04:05.880 --> 00:04:11.120
So other than uploading a video, you can embed a YouTube video.

66
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:15.760
You can even add a restream link, Wistia, Searchy, and a few others.

67
00:04:15.760 --> 00:04:23.040
So for this example, I'm going to just go ahead and upload a video.

68
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:27.200
And you can do this by clicking here and then selecting a file from your computer.

69
00:04:27.200 --> 00:04:32.440
So here I've uploaded a little demo, this funny video.

70
00:04:32.440 --> 00:04:37.000
And once you upload it, you can always get that original file by clicking this download

71
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.660
video button here.

72
00:04:39.660 --> 00:04:41.500
There's options to enable chat.

73
00:04:41.500 --> 00:04:44.700
If you want or not, you can leave that off.

74
00:04:44.700 --> 00:04:47.020
And we'll go ahead and click save.

75
00:04:47.020 --> 00:04:48.700
Awesome.

76
00:04:48.700 --> 00:04:54.420
So now we can click this little blue view button here.

77
00:04:54.420 --> 00:04:58.660
And this will take us to a page to go and view this post.

78
00:04:58.660 --> 00:04:59.900
So there's my featured image.

79
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.140
And if I hit play, I can immediately play back the video.

80
00:05:04.140 --> 00:05:08.420
So now that's available, I could actually send anyone in the world this link, and they

81
00:05:08.420 --> 00:05:11.540
can go watch my video now.

82
00:05:11.540 --> 00:05:16.060
So I'll also wait just a few minutes here, and then I'll show you how the videos are

83
00:05:16.060 --> 00:05:20.460
going to get kind of sped up and they get processed.

84
00:05:20.460 --> 00:05:24.580
So you'll notice that as soon as I hit save, the video was immediately available for playback,

85
00:05:24.580 --> 00:05:28.560
you don't have to wait for processing initially.

86
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:35.160
But over the course of five to 10 minutes after you upload, your videos will get optimized

87
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:37.460
for kind of greater distribution.

88
00:05:37.460 --> 00:05:41.720
So they're available instantly, but then an optimized version comes maybe five to 10 minutes

89
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:43.200
later.

90
00:05:43.200 --> 00:05:46.480
All done behind the scenes, you don't have to do anything.

91
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:52.960
To make this work, you just upload it, and it will all magically get optimized for you.

92
00:05:52.960 --> 00:05:58.440
Alright, so there's our first piece of content, I'm going to be doing a few of these videos,

93
00:05:58.440 --> 00:06:03.160
I'll do one per platform, so you can go to those specific tutorials depending on where

94
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:04.720
your content is coming from.
