Awesome, awesome.
So, thanks for being flexible I know this is a Thursday.
Oh, I need to get a streaming sorry yeah Tamara's like, get my attention, like, start streaming.
Let me do that.
And Lindsay and Hannah are both sick Tuesday so they're getting a little better yesterday and a little better today so Lindsay still watching Hannah today.
But they're, they're doing better. So appreciate you guys praying and giving us some flexibility on the time to meet.
I just, so we have a couple things we could do today to do some tech training and then we'll be back Tuesday, Lindsay will take next Tuesday's call and do some more content stuff and we actually this is our third to last call.
So, I have some things I can, I can talk about I was going to talk about MailChimp and like capturing email addresses and some of that kind of show you how to set that up with MailChimp with using a free free plan with them.
But I also wanted to open it up if you guys have questions about anything specific that I can that we can jump into or anything technical or strategic that I can help with.
I, you know, definitely want to take take questions. I don't want to teach you yet another thing if there's other things we could talk about.
I would like it on my landing page, the strip that has for sending a PDF isn't working. You know what, you don't need to bother me with that I mean you don't need to bother with that I will get in touch with Caroline, Carolina, and.
Okay. Yeah.
There's a couple ways to do it.
Did you set up some way to like capture the email address.
Because that was on the landing page that you already gave us on notion.
I didn't learn how to do any of that. That's why I was thinking it'd be good if I'm grateful for you doing this but I need to be able to do it myself.
Okay.
There we go, our student.
So that's probably not an individual tech support thing.
It. Yeah, it's not. We can definitely help you. What I was going to do with with MailChimp may help you on that so if we could potentially could still show some of that today.
But yeah, let me see what did you, you had your hand raised Marian.
Yes.
Now, Carolina told me to get mail, mail a light. Is that the same as MailChimp.
Yeah, they both do kind of the same thing.
I think I've heard off though.
Yeah, MailChimp has been around for a bit.
And they have really changed, you know, they used to just be a very simple email tool and now they do like all kinds of stuff.
Yeah, they do have a free tier account, which is great because we're always looking for ones that you don't have to. Yeah.
So mail a light, it says for 1000 subscribers but I've got 13,000. So, with work I mean I'm not going to get them all coming in and wanting the PDF, but
the.
Yeah, so that's how many email subscribers, specifically. Oh, okay. Okay.
So, yeah, not not how many on your channel.
Okay, that's good.
So, you know, they'll start MailChimp starts with, I think you get up to.
Let's see here, I tell you.
So I think, you know, if you're under 500 around there on MailChimp, which, just so you know like Lindsay's email list is like 550.
I think was safe.
But it doesn't mean but we've done a horrible job of promoting it so what I'm hoping to do is show you how to set this up early and then you can, even if you don't think you'll do an email list or anything like that line.
As long as you're capturing the email so that when you do decide to do it.
You know, then it then it's ready to go.
I happen to put a form on the bottom of her website and so people who that's the only way people can get to it. She's not really.
We've not done any kind of lead magnets or anything so I would really like to know, like, Susie more about setting up the landing page, because, as she said, if I if I want to do more, and what do something else on it.
I'm not going to be able to call on you all the time to do it for me.
That would be a... We didn't tell you we're giving you guys a little Carolina's phone number
after this. Yes. She's like, uh... Yeah. I'm going to change my number real quick.
Also, also, Bruce, I was trying to look something up. There was a point when you taught us
how to do YouTube videos and put an end, a little end thing on. I can't... Yeah.
Now, I wanted to do that because I have a video that I went through Descript with it,
but I've ended up with a little bit of speaking with no pictures. And so I actually wanted to
put an end. I made one up on Canva, but there's nowhere on YouTube where it tells you how to
attach that. To the video. Yeah. Yeah. Now, I know that you've taught us this,
but I was going through the Kingdom Messenger, all the page with all the information on,
and I couldn't find out where to find it. Okay. We'll... Yes, I know exactly what you're
talking about. We have these little like pop-ups and things like end screens.
Yes. I don't know if, Tamara, if you know where it is, or I can look for that. I can't remember
exactly what it's called, but there's... I know that I didn't show it specifically with Canva.
It was more how to do that with one of the Adobe Premiere or DaVinci Resolve.
It's not making it. It's a matter of how do I put it on the YouTube video, in YouTube.
Oh, in YouTube. I've already got the video there. I'd list it.
Okay. Yeah. I know what you're talking about. I can show you that quick.
Okay. Let's do that. I think what we'll...
Let me show you that. I want to show you guys just a quick how to do MailChimp,
because I think that'll help with the landing pages. Because if you... Like for Susie and for
Marion, if you haven't done MailerLite, which is just a similar version of MailChimp, you can...
MailChimp will give you a little form that you can then go stick on your page,
and that will actually capture the email address. And so...
Susie has MailerLite on her landing page already.
Yeah. But I think that was when I was showing a demo. I think it's my MailerLite account.
I think I got a notification. I think it was from MailerLite that said my 30-day free
trial was expired or something like that. And it was something called MailerLite.
It should have a totally free version though. So I don't know...
It does. I was in the process of getting it when this came on. And so I quickly got
off and I didn't finish it. But it does say something about 30 days free trial as well.
Yeah. Because it has paid versions. And if you sign up for the paid version,
then it does start a 30-day trial. But it should also have a completely free version that allows
like 1,000 emails, 12,000 emails per month. It should work for you guys as totally free.
Yeah. Yeah. We can take a look at that.
Bruce, you like MailChimp better than MailerLite?
So I recommended MailerLite. It seemed a little simpler. Okay. There's a certain level of
complexity that you have to just to get it set up. There's a few steps to overcome.
I'm just trying to get back into my YouTube account here. And then I want to share...
Yeah. I put my email address in on Suzy's this morning and I
just checked. I actually don't have an email from it.
Okay. So it's probably not set up.
Yeah.
Okay. So let me show Marion... Let me show this end screen thing because that'll take
two minutes and then I want to jump into MailChimp.
Yeah. Okay. Good.
So when you have a video in YouTube...
Yeah.
Let me... I had to find one that's not a long... I mean, a short form. So if we click on this,
you can go in a little editor, you can scroll down here to the end screen.
Yeah. And I've done all of that, but you need a video. It puts it on the video you've already got.
Yeah. So you would have to put a different... You can't put a new video behind there.
No, it's not a video. It's... You know when you do the thumbnail,
it's like a little square box and it's a picture, no video. You can attach that at the front.
But at the end of my video, because I use Descript,
I've got a small portion that has nothing on it, the video.
Are you talking about just trimming it off?
Well, I could trim it off, but how do I get a... I've got part of me speaking with no picture.
And so I was going to put an end screen on there.
there with the speaking, just trailing off into the end screen.
Yeah, I would do that here, because the only thing you can do is you can either send people
to your recent upload or let YouTube figure out which was the best video of yours to show
next, or you can show a specific video.
So if I click on this, I could say...
No, I can do all of that.
I don't have a problem with that.
I do it all the time.
Okay.
My problem is I've got a small part of my video that is blank because I subtracted some
of the speaking.
So now I have blank video with nothing on it, and I am speaking for about 10 seconds
with nothing on the video.
It's blank, black page.
So I can't go and put one picture on there then.
I'd have to make another bit of video, would I?
Yeah.
And you would have to...
So I think the issue is you won't be able to do it on YouTube.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's the problem.
Okay.
So maybe I should just cut it off at the end of the speak and just end up with a blank
bit of video.
Yeah.
Now, you can come to this editor here, and there's some very basic things you could do.
So if you didn't want to have to upload another video, and you can add...
There's just this end screen, but you can also...
No, I don't mind putting another video advertising.
Okay.
That's the easiest then.
That's not an issue.
Yeah.
It's just that it's backed up by a black screen with nothing else on it.
Yeah.
Okay.
So then what you would do is in Descript, you would add the text or the image or a photo
or whatever you want.
But you would need to do that in Descript.
Yeah.
I've already transferred it as an unedited video.
So...
Perfect.
Yeah.
Thank you, Bruce.
That's what...
Sure.
Sorry.
It took a second to figure out exactly what you needed.
I know.
It's not something you come across very often, a video with a blank.
Yeah.
For sure.
Okay.
So I'll show you...
So when you're...
Let me grab...
Get a notion.
And I'll just bring up Susie's as an example, since we used that last time.
Okay.
So yeah, you had this button and then I think we had...
Let me grab...
Bruce, that's not my present landing page.
So it could be that the buttons would be different.
Right.
It could be.
Yeah.
I'll just use this template.
So you don't have this embed though, right?
I've got that.
But I don't really like that wording.
Do we have any choice about wording?
Because I tried doing something to it and I couldn't.
Yeah.
So let me sign into this guy real quick.
Yes.
You can change all of that.
But you can...
I think what was in there was probably the one that was connected to my account.
So I just put that in as a test to show you how it would work.
But when you...
You basically have a mailer light, you have a form.
And so you can have things like pop-up on a particular website, or we use like this
embedded form.
And so this is what's working here.
So if I hit edit, I can actually change the wording in here.
So you'll see a little option here.
Just close that.
So you can click into the text here and say, download my ebook or whatever.
And then you can change the text here.
And even on the button, you can say like, send me the ebook or whatever.
And so if I saved this inside of mailer light, and I went back to the template, and I've
refreshed this page, I actually would see that change would be made here.
I don't have to do anything to the page.
It will just say that now it says download my ebook.
So mailer light is a solution for that.
I can kind of...
I'll show you how to set this up from scratch.
But this would be a great place to start just to capture the email.
So what probably happens is you maybe created an account, but maybe you didn't create the
form, right?
You'll see...
Yeah.
Did she disappear?
Oh, she's gone.
Perfect.
We'll see.
Very quiet.
So, yeah, once you guys, let me just do that I'll kind of step through like how to create this if you are, if it's Marian or for Susie can watch the replay like once you got the account you have to go through, you know, a few things to set it up.
What you should get to some sort of, you know, dashboard here. And so there's lots of buttons here to, you know, create a form or create site, just to help get set things set up.
So I'll go ahead here and hit create form.
And you have two options. So you have a embedded form, or just a pop up. So I'll go here I'm going to call this
my awesome ebook.
I'll go to save and continue.
And then I can say hey I've just got one list, and I'm just calling it main list that's like wherever I want all my leads to go into this this list.
Continue.
Okay, Susie coming back. And so now we can actually just write this here to say like enter email to, or I'll send you my free ebook.
Share your email.
This is horrible copy but you get the idea.
And then I would change it to something specific like send me the book or something. Yeah, just very specific not subscribe. And then hit save.
And now what you can do here, hit done.
That will basically capture the email lead and it'll bring them in. And so then what we want to do. The second part is actually, we have to actually send them an email.
So, the first part is, hey, there's a form. I've now got that person's email address in my, my mailing list.
And then I can, but now we want to send them something automatically we don't, you know, want to have to manually send it to them we want it to hate when the email comes in automatically send them something.
So I'm going to hit create an automation.
And so, this is, I'm going to try and make this bigger. There we go.
So they tried to build it in a kind of a diagram format which is kind of nice. So we're just saying hey when a subscriber completes the form called my awesome ebook.
Email them something so it's very simple like you sign up, I send you email. Right. And so this could come from Bruce Van Zael, I can say like, here's the ebook you requested.
You can say who is it from so I can just say, it's like that you can put your email address there so if they do reply, then they come back, you know, to an email address that you'll be checking.
And
yeah, and that's probably good so we'll save that.
And so, now we'd have to actually turn, see why is it saying incomplete
one email.
Did I miss something?
Oh, I think I didn't actually put an email together so we'll just do like this drag and drop editor.
And this is where I would create a link to my ebook in here. So, I could say something like, you know, my
ebook, and I can leave that there.
You can just leave that you can put a photo I can just delete this if you want to keep it really nice and small, you just hit delete.
I'm just, I'm basic for these types of things we're like they're giving email, they're getting something back. You don't need to have all like it doesn't have to be like a newsletter in here so it could be as simple as that like you don't even need a logo
Here's the book. Here's the button to go to get the thing.
Now, as far as like what link to put here how to upload it.
There's a couple ways to do that.
One way if you have a tribe site would be to just upload it there and get the links if I let's just grow in here. I'll just say my ebook.
And I just use a download link here and hit upload.
And I can actually choose whatever ebook thing so and this would work as well if you have a full book or you want to do like the first few chapters of a book you want to give someone or just a worksheet you want to give someone this, this will all work the same
way. The idea is you're just creating a lead magnet they call it to essentially get people, there has to be a reason for you to give them for them to give you.
or email. And so let me just grab this. All my PDF examples. So once this is uploaded,
I can hit save. And I can hit view. And now it's created a little page on my tribe site.
And I can right click on this and say copy link address. And what that does is it has
this like this long URL to get to the PDF. So if I just hit enter, it's gonna open or
download the link. So I can just drop that in here. And I can say, you know, download
the PDF here. Okay, I know there's maybe a lot of little steps here, but I can definitely
slow down and do that again. Or you can put it in Dropbox, or you can put it in Google
Drive. That's another way to do it. So I'll just do a quick Google Drive example. So I
could go into Google Drive. Or we could do this on Dropbox, and just hit new. I'll just
do a folder here called. Oops. No, no. Sorry, I don't use the my drive that often. So go.
I'll just drag my my PDF in here. So what we're doing here is we're essentially just
wanting to host the file somehow. So there's my PDF example. And what I would do is go in
here and I would say, share. And then the important thing to change here is I don't want
it to be restricted, I want it to get anyone with the link should be able to see this because we
just we don't want to restrict we want anyone who's getting this link, they should be able to
see it. And since we're only going to give this link away in the email, I can copy that link
now and I can paste it into this. So now it'll say, you know, Google Drive, blah, blah, blah. And
if somebody clicked on that link, they should be taken right to the PDF here to get to get to it. So
you could put it in Drive, you could put it in Google Drive, you could put it in Dropbox. It's
just a way of like putting the file somewhere and making it publicly accessible. So you have a
link you can use for it. Cool. So one of the things you have to have, it's actually I'm
surprised it even let me delete this. Let me see if I have footer. Let's bring the footer back in.
So legally, you have to have a way to unsubscribe. So that's why it just complained and I
accidentally deleted this part. And so there has to legally be an unsubscribe button when you send
an email like this. And so that they were just basically protecting you there and saying, hey, you
didn't have your unsubscribe button. So, okay, this should be good. Now I'm going to turn this on, hit
Save. And you can make this really sophisticated. I'm going to do another example. Like let's say
you wanted to do like a like a five day devotional series. You can have it. Someone signs up and then
every day you send them another email automatically. So that's another way to do it as well. And you
can you can kind of get creative with this. But for specific book like kingdom based content, like
what we're doing here. Network. Hey, see Walter's got a question. Welcome to unmute.
Yeah, Bruce, the question that I have is I do have a flip book. But right now what people have been doing is
going up and putting in the email address in order to just read it. I don't know if it's that's
something I would want them to download, or that they have access to read is only 24 pages. So I
don't know the best way to handle that.
Yeah, that's great. I think you're yet for the flipbook is another great tool for specifically for just for
what you're doing. You have like a PDF. This is just a more of a manual way. There's that's a great tool. And I
think on that tool is where you're actually asking them for the email address, right? Right. So yeah,
that works just as just easily. This one's a that's a little bit more simple. And it works. It's fine. This
one's just a little bit. You can do a lot more with it.
Does it capture the emails?
Yeah, but you would have to go to the flipbook dashboard or wherever you upload it to download a
list of emails to do something with that. It's not going to automatically email someone something or any
of that. Yes, it's a little it's they kind of do the same thing. But this one's a little a little different.
Um, and now is there a way for, on the flip book to make it public so that
they're not adding their email on there, but instead they're adding it through
the tribe site so that then it captures it into, um, I, so yes, you could do it
through tribe, um, but I wouldn't do it on both.
I think I may have looked at Walter's at one point last week.
And I think it's on both.
I think it like asks you for the email and then it sends you to the flip book.
And then on that page, it also asks you for the email again.
Yes.
That's what it does.
It, you can just turn it off on the flip book.
You can just make it public.
That's all you got to do.
Yeah.
Okay.
Um, what you can do on this now, of course you have to get this somehow
into a page of some kind, the simplest way to get people here is they
have this share link over here.
So if I just paste this into my link here, it just takes me right to a form.
It's basically created a webpage for me and someone can now enter their email.
I'll use this.
And then it says, you know, I think you can change the success message as well
to say like, Hey, check your email.
You know, it's coming.
So it's basically like a little, um, mini funnel essentially.
Um, so you don't have to use necessarily use click funnels
or any of those funnel tools.
You can just have a simple page like this.
And of course you could add to it and have, have more in it, but
think about like your solo link.
Right.
This would be a great place to, to put your solo link.
Um, if you can go, I'll just jump in here.
I could go down into my, my embeds here and I could just add a new one.
Um, here at a link and say like, there's my, there's my link to the
mailer light form, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, say, you know, um, get the,
you know, first few chapters of my new book, right.
Um, and hit done.
And then that would actually just show up in your, um, your tool here.
So you would actually see this as a, as a link now.
And if people clicked on that, they're just right into your little
form, the email comes back.
Right.
So that's just very, very simple version of that, um, that workflow,
but it is, it will be functional.
I would definitely have something to do this.
If you're using solo, which I definitely recommend you using.
This is the link that should be on the bot, like on your Instagram profile.
It should be on your, uh, you know, Tik TOK profile.
Once you pass a thousand people, you just said, send
everybody to that one link.
That's what we do here.
And so when people click on it, um, then you would have, you know, those
different links here, um, for people to get to.
And one of those could be a lead magnet.
So people see like, Hey, I can get this thing for free.
Or there's a devotional thing that someone's written.
They give you the email address.
It automatically sends it to them.
That's a great way to just collect emails because you've now
given people a reason to opt in.
Um, versus like, Hey, one day I may start sending a newsletter
and then you'll get it.
You know, that's kind of, you know, okay.
Like, I don't know if I'm going to give it to you.
Um, but, uh, that, that, that's just a good, easy workflows.
I, so all of that say, like, I wish we had set this up two years ago for
Lindsay, cause I think she'd have tens of thousands of email addresses.
Um, cool.
And I see Ashley's got a question.
Yeah.
Yes.
A couple of questions that you may have already answered.
I may have missed him somewhere.
One, um, if we wanted to host it in tribe, cause it sounded like you were
saying we could host like a PDF or even a video, if we wanted to like, Hey, put
in your email here and get a video that we can host it and try where it could
host to other places, but if we wanted to host it and try me personally, I'm
trying to get all of my stuff consolidated in one spot is that do people have to,
I mean, from, from, uh, tribe, uh, do people have the ability to download the
video or can we say whether or not we want people to be able to like, in other
words, if I just want to host it there and I don't want them to be able to
download it, is that possible for me to specify in tribe or, or do they have
access to download all information or, or, or what?
Yeah, it's a good, um, so this yes.
And no, like the, the simple way to do that is let's say I grabbed, um, this
video, um, I could right here is the download video, but so if I right click
on this and say, copy link address, if I just paste that anywhere, it's going
to let people download that.
Um, so if I go back, I've got too many tabs open.
I would just, let's just put it right here, like download the video and I
can just paste that Lincoln.
You just need to hyperlink it and then paste it again.
And then there you go.
So now if I hit save, and then we went to watch this,
I can watch the video,
and then you can just download it right there.
If I click on that, it'll take me to a page.
There you go, it tries to download.
That is so cool.
So otherwise they can't download it.
Like if people have access to it, they can't.
But there's a way to do it.
That's super.
The other thing I was wondering is
when you were talking about posting the video in Tribe
and then linking it and then providing the link somewhere,
I don't remember where it was, you know, on MailerLite,
were you giving them access to the page
on which the video or PDF or whatever was housed in Tribe?
Or is it like the actual piece of content itself,
like only the PDF or only the video?
And if so, where was that link again?
So let me do, I'm gonna make a variation.
So that's a great, I think a lot, everybody,
I just did this for someone else, set this up for them.
So I would do something like this,
like get my free training.
Okay, so we're gonna do a form,
pop this up, go to the main list,
and we could do something very simple here.
This is a great use case, Ashley,
and we can kind of use Tribe as well.
So like, you know, get access to this free training.
You could write better copy, right?
Like just pretend like Bruce is writing a really good copy.
How much time, oh, we have a little time.
Let me, let's take a total detour and, oh, no, wait.
Sorry, where is this chat?
There we go.
So sorry, let me get to this right page.
I come here all the time, I promise.
Where is this?
Okay, I don't know what,
all these obscure links to get to, okay.
Okay, let me not get, let me get distracted.
If Lindsay was here, she'd be like, stay focused.
So let me close all this.
We'll come back to that at the end if there's time.
I'll show you guys how to use AI to write your copy for you.
This one right here.
So let's say, get access to my free training.
So you could say, you know, in this training,
you'll learn dot, dot, dot.
And you could just have, you know, a little list here.
It says like how to live in rest, how to, you know,
something, something.
So you can kind of give people a reason
of what they're going to get for it.
And then you can say, you know, show me the training,
say, you know, I'm going to show you how to live in rest.
Show me the training, save.
And now on the button, I think you can do it here
under settings.
We can say, let's see here, custom success page here.
So instead of, you know, they're going to give you their email,
but I just want to, like, they just need,
they're in the, they're on their website.
Like I, I'm sorry, on their, on the web already.
For them to have to go to their email,
then click on a link and come back.
Seems a little like too many steps.
So what you can do here is just say,
hey, a custom success page.
As soon as they hit, show me the training,
send them to my video on, on tribe.
So I can go over to tribe.
Let's grab, like, let's say,
let's say we wanted to grab something that's public here.
So let's say there's like this,
this mini course that we have for, for,
where is it?
I don't know what to expect.
So let's just say, let's say I grab this video.
I've uploaded it to tribe.
I click view right here.
And it takes me to a specific page
just to watch this one piece of content.
It's not in a collection, it's not in a group.
It's just a way to get to this video.
So what I want them to do is I want,
when I, when I put this in here,
just take that person to this specific URL.
So what's cool about this video is it's in a,
it's in a private group and you can't find it
in a search on Kingdom Messenger TV.
But if you go through this little form,
I'm going to give you this magic link
that gets you to the page to go watch it,
which you can't find unless you put your email in, right?
So it's just a way to capture the email.
And then you can give them something like a 20, 30,
40 minute piece of, you know, some valuable content.
And you don't even have to do the whole automation thing.
You could still email them and follow up
and send them the link if you wanted to.
But let me show you.
So if I copy this now, paste it in here,
and we just said email, and we hit show me the training,
it just takes me right into the video, right?
So that would probably answer your question,
I think, what you're saying.
Yes, so that's one way to do it.
Is there another way where, you know,
so this is actually.
actually viewing the tribe page where the content is hosted on,
is there a way to provide a link to just the content?
Like, say, if they were to download it, you're trying to like, say, for instance,
would it look like you did with the PDF that you showed?
Is it that same way for if you just
give them the video as opposed to the tribe page or not?
I'm just trying to understand.
Yeah, so I'll show you like
I think I maybe showed this.
I don't know if this is going to work, but let's see.
They may have moved it.
Yeah, so we did this little training for a friend.
And so you put your email in.
Basically, you do this and then she redirects to her tribe page.
And so what we did here is we actually positioned it as a mini course.
So she has like video one, video two, video three.
So this is on tribe. It's just a collection.
We called the collection free training and we have video one.
So she put it as a secret one, secret two, secret three.
And when you click into it,
you are watching the content here.
And then you also were able to put a button right here.
So what you really wanted people to do is to buy her master class for ninety seven
dollars. So, right.
You want to. So that's what's great about sending them
to tribe is that they can be watching, but you can also have like a button or
something underneath it that's like, oh, my gosh, Ashley's amazing.
I want to buy her course or I want to do her challenge like right underneath it.
So that's that's how I would that's how I set this up for her.
We got about 300 leads for her business
this way for running some ads to it in about a week or so.
Cool.
So these are all different tools, right,
like I just wanted to give you guys a free tool here, there's a free
forever plan with Mailer Lite, so that's why I
I wanted to let you guys use that one.
So.
Cool, I assume Marion had a question.
Yes, first of all, when when I get Mailer Lite,
what email address do I use my regular email address or the Innovo one or
what would you suggest there?
I would just use your regular email that you would that you're already checking.
Yeah, yeah.
And the second one is I just wrote up to three pages of prayers and they're just.
Just how I would write it up myself is not
fancy, but it suddenly occurred to me, I probably should put Kingdom Messenger
or something on the bottom to say where it came from.
Any any advice on how to.
How how to make that look like in order to have people receive it,
just making it making the make it pretty, make it look pretty, yeah,
Canada is great for like little e-book things, there's probably a template.
And when you say e-book,
these are regular pages that you get on your printer.
It's not really a book.
I mean, they're huge pages.
So how
yeah, we just call it an e-book over here.
So if it's just it's a category of things, it's basically like a PDF.
Yeah.
So if I look at template, I'll just grab one real quick here.
So let's say, I mean, I don't know, something like this.
So it has like a cover photo, you know,
you can put a photo or something here and then you can have like you can hit
add page and then you could put, you know, different text and things like that.
Yeah. An e-book is just like it's just just
an electronic book, so instead of it being a physical book,
it's just it's like a digital version.
It could be a PDF typically.
It's a great way to just get someone some information.
But that's really nice, Bruce.
I like that. I think I'll have to redo mine.
Yeah. And you'll see like so here's one that's just for documents,
you know, where it's already got the colors and all the stuff kind of figured
out for you, you can just change the headings and save it.
OK, OK.
And you would just save it
like you can export it as a PDF, like right from Canva.
And then that's what you would upload and share.
Oh, OK, so what I've been doing is
sending mine to my tribe site and listing it on all the things down there with my
videos. Yeah, that's that's good, too.
You can do that. Yeah, OK.
It's good. Thank you, Bruce.
Cool, cool. OK, and then Susie had a.
Yeah, that little square thing that said click here for my PDF, is it possible to, you know,
put color on that or change the shape?
On mine it was kind of like the black and white design I just made.
Well, mostly I didn't want something that big.
Yeah, so yeah, you can definitely come in here.
Are you talking about this button?
Yeah.
So you can go, I think it's in call to action buttons.
So you can actually come in here and pick the color.
So if I wanted it to be, you know, red and make it, you know, typically big and bold
and high contrast is going to be the easy, it needs to feel really easy.
So you could make it bigger, smaller, you can shrink the text down, change the colors.
It's not a ton of stuff, but you can at least change a few things with it.
We can change the background color here to white.
And then maybe this is...
Am I able to change the size of that box, of the whole big...
Of the whole box?
I actually don't...
Yeah, I mean, you potentially, I don't know, let's see.
Don't think so on this one, because this is just a...
You can change it to like a horizontal or they have like a card.
So if you wanted to put a photo at the top, you could do that.
So it'd be like a photo and then the same thing.
So there's just, it's pretty simple.
It's just three options there as far as what the layout could be.
Now, if you want to do something more than all this in MailerLite,
not to confuse a bunch of you,
but you can actually make a little webpage here as well.
So then, and then you can, you really have like do a lot with it.
So if you were having someone sign up for an event or something,
I'll just call it a new page.
And this is here.
And I think there's a bunch of templates.
You can actually just grab this one here.
So they actually, they're not bad looking.
Most of these template sites are fairly ugly,
but let's say like, if I grab one, that's books.
Let's say you had a book.
Okay, so let's just say preview this one.
So this has like a picture of the book.
There's a download.
You can use this and just change out the text, you know, for your own,
you know, how you want to use it.
Oh, see, that's where they get you.
Not on the free plan.
Oh, well, but you can make one yourself just as easily.
So, but yeah, that's one of the things you could do
where it's just basically a whole page.
If you wanted to promote something that can work.
So there's a lot of different features in here,
you know, even having a pop-up as well.
Like if someone stays on your tribe site or your website
for more than, you know, 30 seconds or something,
you can have something pop up and be like,
hey, I'm giving away this free ebook.
And then it can, same thing will happen here.
So there was just one piece that I think I skipped
and I want to go back to, but how do you actually get this?
If you do want to put this into Notion.
So the one way was to just grab a link, put it on your solo page.
The other way, if I go into this, if I think you can edit,
let's see here,
you can embed, there's like a HTML code here.
And I think you can actually just copy the share link.
And if I'm in a Notion page like this,
I can just paste it and say, create embed,
and it will embed that whole form.
Yeah, that's how it works, just like that.
So now I can put a picture next to this or something
and this could be on my page that then goes to tribe
if you want, and this is just in Notion,
but it'll also work if you embedded this on WordPress site
or something else as well.
So lots of ways to get the same thing out.
So, cool.
Let's see, does that answer your question, Susie?
Yeah, too much.
I'll have to come back and look at it, but thank you.
Yes, yeah, my question is, can I change it?
Yes, you answered that, thank you.
Awesome.
I have a quick question, Bruce.
When you were, it looks like in Notion,
you were actually able to change the size of the,
so, cause she then maybe just copy.
you know, paste that into, you know, oh, maybe not.
I thought it was going,
I thought the box was getting smaller.
Maybe, maybe I'm going down the wrong trail then.
I was just wondering if she could then take it from Notion,
like if you're able to resize it there and then, yeah.
So you can't go smaller or bigger here,
but you could go change the font sizes
on the form itself if you wanted it smaller.
Yeah.
It almost works, but it like cuts off from the bottom
instead of cutting off from the top.
Yeah. Yeah.
So there's no way to like make it show only the button.
Yeah, I gotcha.
Yeah, I was just wondering, cause I saw it moving.
I was like, oh, she might-
Yeah, but you can just as easily like simplify this, right?
You don't need all this extra text.
You could, this is just a text box,
so we could just delete all this.
You could get rid of any extra space here
and just say like, you know, download my book
or something like that.
So you could really like shrink it down if you wanted to.
So it doesn't have to be quite as huge.
Sweet.
So if my buttons on the Notion page are male or light,
then I have to sign up for male or light
in order to make any different, any changes to it?
Yeah, but you can just sign up for the free account.
Okay, but I do have to do that.
I can't just click on it and have it go someplace.
Also, I did have one other question that I,
when Ashley said something about, does this go to my video
or does it go to the website?
When, the way mine is, I guess I have the URL for my website
and it shows those things on the side
that have to do with the website and not just the video.
Is there any way to have that go and just only see the video
or, you know, the landing page without the stuff on the side
that's on my website?
It's likely because you're signed in on your tribe site
to because you're signed in,
it's showing you everything on the side.
Yeah.
In a signed out state, which is what they'll be,
they won't see that stuff
until they actually sign in to the site.
So like if I sign out here,
you'll see like all that stuff on the left disappears.
And if I go and watch this,
I only have this because I've specifically told it
to put all this on the left.
But if I were to go to the form that we just did,
I don't know, I think, did I, yeah, I may have closed that,
but it will just have the video here
with nothing on the left and nothing on the right.
There's a difference between being signed in or signed out.
Okay, cool.
I think that answers your questions, awesome.
Okay, just for fun, I kind of said this last week,
but I just want to show you guys this thing.
If you haven't heard the phrase chat GPT,
it pretty much takes up all of the chat.
It takes up all of my Twitter feed.
Yeah, probably the only one on Twitter
because it's kind of where a lot of nerds hang out
for techie stuff.
So this is really cool.
It's basically, it's, think about, you know,
you ask Alexa something or you ask Siri to do something.
So you could say, you know,
what's the capital of, you know, Utah or something.
And it can go off and find that information and come back.
So this is sort of the next iteration of that.
It's using AI to write things for you
or to put various things together.
So let me just show you some examples.
So you could say like, write an email
that encourages people to download my free ebook
about how to be a kingdom business owner.
Just so I can say at least three paragraphs
with, you know, clear call to action to download the ebook.
Okay.
And I've never tried this before, so I'm just gonna see.
So what it will do is literally write you like,
learn how to be a kingdom business owner,
subject written, right?
And then you could obviously replace it with a name.
Are you a business owner or an aspiring entrepreneur?
Like a computer wrote this, like, this is not, this is just, this is pretty awesome.
And now look how it like figured out is either going to be really cool for you
guys, or you're going to be like, this is, this is scary.
Um, this is where the, this is where the machines are going.
Um, but see how I use the word kingdom.
And now it's talking about values and purpose as a Christian.
Like, how does it know that kingdom is Christian?
Like, it's pretty smart.
Like now I wouldn't like copy and then paste and send, but this is like 80, 90%
there, like you could tweak this just a little bit.
And so a lot of people, like people are kind of treating this chat GPT as it's,
as like a, like an extra team member.
Right.
So if you, you know, cause sometimes you're stuck, like you just forget, like
you're kind of out of ideas of like what to talk about, um, this is a great place
to do that and it kind of gives you the format, right.
Um, even got a PS down here, very clear link to download page.
Like, and that was just the, a really simple prompt here.
Um, the other thing you can say is like, um, so let's start a new chat.
This is all free by the way.
There's no, there's no, there's all free.
Um, just anyone can get to this.
Um, you set up a little free account.
I think that that's, was the link I was trying to find.
Um, so you can just, let's say like write a 60 second tick talk about, um,
what it means to live in perfect peace as a Christian.
Okay.
This is, I'm trying to, you're trying to, you're trying to be a little
wordy with the answers.
You're giving it a lot of keywords.
So here we go.
Are you tired of being anxious and stressed?
Great hook, you know, like we're always looking for those awesome opening lines.
That's a great one.
It it's as Christians, we have the opportunity to live in perfect peace.
What does that really mean?
Okay.
So you don't have to like read this word for word, but for us,
the hashtags, it's pretty sweet.
It's pretty, pretty awesome.
Um, so again, I wouldn't like, I'm not going to say like the, the
theology is, is, is rock solid on this, right?
Like it's not, it's not there yet, but, um, this is just, it's very experimental,
but something to play with.
Um, and if you've seen, like, if you've seen, uh, there's, I'll just want to show
you this, there's like, uh, Jasper AI is one you'll, you may get ads for these,
like AI copywriter, there are whole tools that you can pay for that are leveraging
this technology, but, um, now that you have a friend, who's also a tech nerd,
you can go right to the source.
They're all just using this and they're just charging you for it.
And then maybe some more like sophistication too, but if you want to play
with this, it's kind of fun.
I actually had it write me, um, a Facebook ad, um, here, um, yeah, I said,
right, uh, write three Facebook ads for an online course creators to create a
three-day online workshop hosted by Ann McDonald, who was like our client.
So, so this wrote, uh, wrote like three different options for me.
And then I can also just engage with it.
I could say, Hey, could you try again, but say, are you stuck
trying to build an online course?
And then it would rework those three examples based on my inner.
So it's a conversation, like you're back and forth, you're trying to
with this, with this guy.
So I actually am pretty impressed with how the kingdom and like related content,
but not bad, like if you're just looking to get a piece of content out quick, um,
and the more you give it the better.
So if you gave it a scripture verse and said, like, show me something
about this scripture, um, I haven't even tried scripture, but if you, if you
wrote two or three verses of a scripture and then asked, like, gave it some, some
prompts, it should be able to work that scripture and that phrasing into your
script, um, because you're asking it to do that.
So, so what you're saying is when I go to church, they're going to be preaching.
That's what I'm saying.
There's, I have seen, I have seen sermon AI generators for sure.
Like, uh, you guys know, uh, Neil Smith that we've, we've talked about
uh, whatever you guys know, uh, Neil Smith that we've, we've had him as a guest on
for challenges before that he is way into this, um, and, uh, how like churches are
going to be leveraging this stuff or, you know, sermons and all kinds of stuff in
the future, Bruce, do you have to go on Twitter to do this or no, no, this is
just a, I dropped the website there.
So if you, yeah, it's free.
Um, I think it's chat.openai.
If I just go back here.
Yeah.
So you, this would be the link.
Um, you would just sign up.
I just use my Google account, and I'm right in.
So, now and they've got some prompts and things like if you want to look at, you know, you know, there's different things like, hey, got creative ideas for a 10 year olds birthday, just like random questions that you could ask.
And just because, like I tried something really sophisticated like, give me a pre flight checklist for a Cessna 172.
Oh, no, it actually worked earlier.
It was pretty cool it gave me like this full checklist
of like for that I don't know why that didn't actually work.
So, all my examples didn't. We'll see if it works.
I think I may need to add some more text to it but actually had something very technical and it actually brought back like this whole checklist of like how you would pre flight a plane, like which I thought was pretty impressive.
So, cool. So that's just something to fun, fun to play with.
That's, that's it. Yeah, it use it, you know, even if you're not.
If you, you know, you don't just just play with it like use it as an as a like almost like an assistant to help you, you know, with some of the content creation.
Yeah, Susie had her hand raised.
So, I saw in in the next column of what was there it said uses the information that you've used before so I was wondering if part of your example was using stuff.
Have you used this, you know before so that would refer back to what you'd already written. Yeah, so that's, that's the cool thing about AI is it's it's constantly learning.
It's like a mega computer so it's like if, if you went in and asked it a few questions and prompts about a particular verse, and then there's a thumbs up and a thumbs down so it's trying to learn like was that a good response like so little thumbs
up you can give it a thumbs up like hey good job like you got me something right or if it's totally wrong. You can give it a thumbs down. But let's say you wrote something about first and it got a thumbs up.
I'm going to ask a question now because we're both on the same platform now the AI knows that oh I have this other user who asked me something similar and she said that was a good response I'm going to use parts of that.
Mix it in with 100 other responses that other people have given me and I'm going to give this person an even better response. So it's, it's, it's like a, it's like a supercomputer that's that's learning all of this.
And that's why it's, it's been so it's kind of a buzz really hot topic right now.
Because, yeah, there's so much you can do with it.
So it's not just using my information is using everybody's information.
This could save a lot of money in churches by writing out everything you want to send out to the congregation absolutely yeah and question, and I'm not good at these so saying to let me to write one would be amazing.
Time.
I used, I used one last week that somebody was talking about, and I went up and asked it. Okay, give me how it is to be fathered by the God of the Bible, and how to father, the fatherless, the orphan, and the prodigal, and it came back with two pages.
Yeah.
And verses I didn't even think about I didn't I haven't looked any further than that.
Absolutely. So, I mean you could the possibilities are endless but just while from from variants example like I could say create a church announcement, let people know we're hosting a prayer meeting on Tuesday, about how to break through in business.
Hey, good morning everyone I wanted to remind you that on Tuesday at 5pm we're hosting a prayer meeting at church will be lifting up our faith business. It's, it's pretty good.
It's for a computer.
So, so just like those little filler words that like sometimes you know what you want to say but you don't know what that first sentence is going to be. This is a great, great tool for that.
Enough of the geeking out, you guys can go check it out play with it. Let us know you can post it in Facebook if you guys get some really interesting fun response.
Yeah, I'll have to let our administrator and my pastor know about this because this is good.
And while it's really popular in the tech space like almost nobody else knows about this so it's like a secret weapon now.
Awesome guys. We'll have a great rest of your week, and we'll be back on Tuesday. So,
See you guys, you can book a tech call if you need or definitely jump on any more calls if you haven't done your second call with Lindsay, do that for the end of the month.
And so, yeah, we'll see you guys then.
You didn't talk about MailChimp, you just didn't because I remember we said mailer lights I didn't want to confuse everybody. They kind of do the same thing and they're both free.
The Mailer light is gives you more accounts for less for cheaper for free than Mail, MailChimp so both will work though.
Thank you. Cool. See you guys.
