Let's talk a little bit about how users are managed within Tribe.
So there's a number of ways to give users very specific access to very specific content.
And pretty much, there's an infinite amount of ways that you can actually group people
and give them access to specific content.
We have been able to handle, to date, pretty much any combination of this with the framework
we've created.
So what I'm going to do here is just show you a very helpful graphic that I like to
show that shows you how content can be segmented within your platform.
So if you look here on our screen, on the far right, we'll look at this little diagram
here.
I'll see if I can make it a little bigger.
So what we have here is these concentric circles.
Public is out here on the outside.
Anyone can just arrive on your site and start watching content.
You don't have to be signed in, you don't have to have an access or an account, and
you don't have to pay anything.
Next up, you have free.
So we call users that we now have an account, but they haven't really given us any money,
we call that free.
So this is content that is essentially gated in that you have to put, or you have to create
a free account to access it.
And next up, we have basic.
So we classify basic as a user that has given some money and they have paid some money in
some way to your organization.
And then premium is just another tier of that same pricing structure.
Now you can use this primarily if you were doing a membership site with you have just
very specific levels, and you're just slowly, you know, your value ladder goes from free
content to, you know, $10 a month, and then maybe premium is $20 a month, something like
that.
Whereas everything on your site is just available, you can view it all, you can see that there
is premium content, but when you click on it, it requires you to upgrade and, you know,
sign up for whatever program that is.
So this is great if you just have a very linear kind of value ladder on your platform.
However, there are cases where you have a private community or maybe you've sold a coaching
program or a course, and you want that completely hidden and only available to a very specific
set of people.
So in this case, we have groups.
So we have these private groups that sit outside of all of that.
So public, free, basic, premium, that's kind of one value ladder.
And then groups are something entirely different.
Just anyone who has access to a group can see everything that's a part of that group.
And groups can also be private or public.
So best example is Facebook.
You can have a private group on Facebook where people have to request access and get approval,
and then they're allowed in, or you can have a public group on Facebook where anyone can
just click join, and they're a part of that group.
So for different use cases, you may use private or public.
So just wanted to explain all those different ways that you can organize and control access
to your content.
So if you are confused by this, or you're not quite sure how your content and your community
is going to fit within this structure, go ahead and book one of those support help desk
sessions, and we'd be happy to help and look exactly at kind of your structure and see
how we could connect this up for you.
