Hey, in this tutorial, I'm going to walk you through how to set up a group for the first
time in your tribe site.
Groups are a very powerful feature of tribe.
It allows you to bring specific people into tribe and give them access to specific sets
of content and have their own discussion.
So in very much a similar way to a private Facebook group or even a public Facebook group,
you can create a group for an event.
You can create it for a challenge, a workshop, a webinar, or even a course.
So it's actually way more than just a small community.
Think of it as a group of people around a certain topic or cause that you're promoting.
And so you can do as many groups as you want.
There's no limit to that in the site.
So I'm going to show you how to set that up.
So let's jump into this demo site here.
And what you'll see is if we go over to the dashboard, we're going to head over to this
groups column, groups page.
And here I've got a number of different groups.
So before I show you how to create one, let me just show you kind of what this looks like
for users.
We have a group here that we had a workshop.
So similar to a challenge kind of format, it was a three day challenge.
We had people signing in every day to watch.
If I click on this group, this is what people will see.
It's got a graphic at the top here.
We've got our name of our group here.
We also have discussion, we have a members tab, and you can actually, you know, people
can make comments and like other people's, you know, posts here.
And so this is all in a private group.
So you'll see here, let me zoom in real quick, you'll see it says private group right there.
So people do have to request access to get access to it.
And so we currently have about 213 people in this particular group.
And I'll show you kind of how we got them in and streamline that whole process.
But just to give you a quick tour, we've got the discussion happening here.
There is if you zoom into this, this members tab, we can actually see a list of all members.
And if there are people that have requested access to the group, you can go here and click
accept.
So I can actually give that person access now because they came here, they can't see
anything if it's a private group, and there will be a request access button here.
And so that's what they did is they requested access, and I just granted them access.
So we just went from 213 to 214 now.
That's the members tab.
And you can also remove people if you want from the group here with one click, just pull
them out in case, you know, whatever reason needs to take them out.
Then on content tab, this is where you can actually stack your entire course.
So these are different modules.
So if you click on this, it kind of opens a little window.
And if we click over here, we've got, you know, a description.
And then we've got all of our main sessions for the for the workshop.
So if you're doing, let's say a, you know, seven day challenge, or a 30 day, you know,
Bible study or something like that, you can basically stack all your days, each each day
will be its own content.
And then we just make a module called main sessions.
And then we made one for additional worksheets if there were, and then we put some other
content there people had asked us about app recommendations.
So we did that as well.
So that is kind of a quick tour of what this content tab looks like.
You'll also see that on the right side, you can actually quickly get to any of these by
clicking on the far right here.
If I zoom into the top here, if I click on the main sessions, for example, I'm taken
directly into all those days here.
And of course, the user can click on this, and then watch the content here with the video
and they've got their chat happening and all of that.
Awesome.
So that's the quick tour of the groups functionality.
Once someone is connected to a group as well, it will show up on the left sidebar here as
a group under the my groups tab.
And so tribal also as you if you start adding groups, it will add this groups tab over here
on the left.
So if you don't have any groups, you may have a site here at the top that just says home,
and you don't have a groups tab yet, it's probably because you haven't created a group
just yet.
Once you create that first group, that will appear automatically.
And if we go to the dashboard, now, you can go to groups, and we can click Add group here.
And we're going to enter a new group.
So I'll say this is my like seven day test challenge, you can call it whatever you want.
And then we can go down to admin.
So we have a number of content creators and admins on the site, but I'll go ahead and
select a few admins.
So
So this, if you've got someone who's helping you manage users or, or, uh, you want them
to help moderate, you know, content for you, you can actually make, uh, make a user, a
creator or an admin on your site.
You can make them an admin, um, of the group.
So that's where you can, you can have multiple admins as well.
Then, uh, we have a description.
The description is what's going to show up on this piece here.
So if we go to info, there's a little bit about the group right there.
And if you're on the groups page here, that's the text that will show up, um, down here,
you know, our tech issues, robbing you, your time, whatever that that's the, uh, that's
where that text goes.
And so I'll just say like, here's my description and, uh, for the purchase link, you can use
this.
If it's a private group, um, means that people have to request access to it.
So if you're doing any kind of event, we would recommend doing a private group, uh, but you
can also run it as a public group.
It's just equally as, um, as easy to do.
Basically it means that people can just hit request access and immediately they are given
access.
There's no, uh, um, there's nothing private about it.
So if you want to limit it, let's say you're taking a ticket sale or, uh, you just want
to track it through a specific, you know, funnel of some sorts, uh, then you could do
a private link.
Public works just as well.
And you can swap them, um, at any point from a public to a private and back, it's very
flexible that way.
So, uh, the purchase link is just there that if someone was looking at this page, let's
say this roadmap product, this is actually a course that we sell for, um, about a thousand
dollars.
If I go to, let me open up a incognito window, which is just a browser that's been signed
out.
Um, so this is a new user.
See at the top here, I'm not signed in anymore.
If they tried to click on this, instead of going to the group, they're actually redirected
to a sales page.
Um, so they actually go over to this page, which is kingdom messenger workshop.com.
And then from there they have to sign up.
And so it just essentially blocks or redirects people.
If they try to access something that is paid, then, uh, then they can, they can move that
over to, uh, that just redirects them to a sales page somewhere else.
And this is just our ClickFunnels, um, site, but you can redirect it to any sales page.
It's not required to have a, um, a purchase link, but if you are taking sales, that is
helpful.
And if you don't, if you just leave it blank, um, it'll be fine.
And there's a little description of what I just said, um, under there for, for you guys.
So let me go ahead and upload a quick image while we're here and I'll go to my demo images.
Let's just grab a picture of a mountain.
Okay.
And we'll hit save.
So now if I go back to my site and I refresh, we have a new seven day test challenge group
with my graphic.
And if I click on it, I now have this page I can send people to, and I can start commenting
and posting things.
I can go to members and see who's part of it, and I can start adding content.
So that is just getting your group set up.
You can now share this with people.
They can, you know, basically join group with one click.
Cause I did have it as a private, a public group.
If it's private, they will have to request access and you would approve them.
That's how that process works.
So now the next question is you're like, cool, that's awesome.
But there's no content in the content tab.
So the way we add content is we go over to a collection.
So collection is just a group of content.
And I'm going to just pick, let's do the, I'm just going to pick some of these other
ones here.
I'm just going to pick another collection here, which has some sessions in it.
And if you scroll down, there's actually a groups dropdown here.
So right now this collection and all the content inside of it is is going to be a part of,
is currently part of the tech workshop group.
So let me jump back to tech workshop.
I go to content and you'll see there's tech workshop, main sessions, tech workshop, main
session.
So this is the text up here is the, is the collection.
And if I click on it, this is all the content inside that collection.
Does that make sense?
So pieces of content collections, just a group of content, uh, what's in this kind of white
box here.
So I have assigned this collection to, uh, to that group, but I, it's not limited to
just one.
I can actually click a second one.
And now this collection is going to be a module that's part of two different groups.
So very, very powerful.
If you're having to do, uh, variations, like especially if you have a VIP course, for example,
where you have one module that everybody's getting, but then if you're in VIP group,
you get a different module.
You can actually.
create two groups and just assign the same collections to different ones.
It's, it's pretty powerful.
Uh, so if I hit save here and I go back now to my seven day test and click on
content, you'll see that that tech workshop main sessions is now listed out there.
And so, uh, this is, it makes it really easy to just add a whole module.
And then if I want, let's say the workshop ends and, you know, people
had to pay for access, you know, lifetime access or whatever, I can
just simply come into this, uh, collection, this collection, I can
delete it out of that group and hit save.
And I can actually take this collection out of all the groups and it will, uh,
just be, um, it'll, it'll still be there.
So it's not deleting it ever.
Whereas, you know, in, in a Facebook, uh, units or the, the guides, uh,
then when you delete content, it is totally gone forever.
You can never get it back and you can't hide and show modules.
So this is pretty powerful, uh, make it very, very flexible for different
types of, um, use cases, especially for challenges and workshops and
things where you're showing content and hiding it and all those good things.
So that's a quick tour of, of groups.
Um, the last little piece I will show you is if you have a private group,
uh, on the far right here to help streamline, uh, people getting into
this group and, and having to click on it and then request access, that's one step.
Then you'd have to go in and approve it.
And then you'd have to let them know, Hey, you're even approved.
Uh, we've actually streamlined that.
So you actually have a, uh, a link that you can send to someone and when
they click on it, it will take them through a signup process or a sign
in process, and when they complete that process and that workflow, they're
redirected right into the group that you are sharing.
So let me show you what that, um, what that looks like.
And so, uh, if we zoom in here, kind of on the far right under actions here,
I'm going to jump all the way into here and you can get a, um, copy
magic link signup URL.
So if I click copy and now I go over to my incognito window where I'm not
signed in, you will see that a new user, let's say they went through my, my
click funnel and then I asked them for an email opt-in and then there was an
upsell page.
And then on the thank you page, it says, create your account.
Let me show you a quick sample of what, what that actually looks like.
Cause we just did this, um, for a, another group.
So I can go, uh, um, yeah, I'll just do tribe.
So this was my first opt-in page for my three day tech workshop.
If I scroll down, let's say, uh, someone goes down here, they say,
you know, claim my free ticket.
Let's launch.
It goes to an upgrade page so they can add a $77 upgrade.
And then from there, uh, if they want to add it, they can, it just lets them
check out and put their credit card in, or they can say, Hey, I'm happy with
my free ticket and it redirects to a page where we said, Hey, it's time
to create your account.
And so here, um, they can watch that video.
And then if they click create free account, I've just linked it to this
very long, uh, URL, which looks like this, right?
So that is the, uh, the, the workflow they would go from through my funnel,
from the Facebook ad to a funnel.
And then right at the end of the funnel, they're redirected into this.
They, they check out, uh, they, they create their accounts or if they have
an account, they can actually sign in, put their email in, they can even
reset their password, uh, cause what may happen is they may go to create
an account and it says, Hey, you already have an account, like just go ahead
and sign in and then they can sign in.
And if they don't know their password, they'll reset the password.
And then when they are done with this whole process, let me show you test
demo group, test demo group at Novo quick password, I hit create account.
And you see, I'm right into the group and I've been added as an approved
user because I'm only sharing this magic link with specific people who have
got to a specific part of my funnel.
Funnel.
And so that is how that, that whole process works.
And you can see there's a new member now, test demo group, which I just
made, um, in here and it's been approved.
So that is the, the whole workflow process from, from end to end.
If you have any questions, you can always reach out to help at tribe
social.io be happy to answer any questions, but check out groups, play
with them, you know, get familiar with them.
Like I said, you can use it for courses for live online events.
You can use it for, uh, memberships, coaching groups, all that good stuff.
So anytime you want to give a specific group of people, a specific set of
content, that's a great way to do it, uh, on your tribe site in and
amongst all your other content.
So, uh, we'll hopefully we'll talk to you soon.
If you have any questions.
