hello vipers we're going to talk about
0:04
using VIP Cloud Suites to host your
0:06
parties firstly let's talk about what
0:09
bip Cloud sues is it's a place where you
0:12
can build community and host parties
0:15
it's an alternative to traditional
0:17
social media freeing you from the
0:19
algorithm social media errors account
0:22
refreshes and dreaded social media jail
0:26
like how you've used Pages for your
0:28
customers and team members and groups
0:31
for your parties you can create Suites
0:34
for your customers and team members and
0:37
party links for your
0:39
parties so to create your first party
0:42
you'll need a sequence template this is
0:45
going to be the the sequence of posts
0:49
that you can create once and reuse every
0:51
time you host a
0:53
party and right here we are on the
0:56
parties
0:58
page and you can see right here that
1:00
there's a quick link here to create your
1:03
first sequence by uh by just clicking
1:07
here also you'll see that you got
1:09
sequences navigatable over here from
1:13
this sidebar and this is where you're
1:15
going to see that entire that library of
1:18
all the sequence templates that you have
1:20
made so let's create our first one and
1:23
click on create
1:24
new we'll give it a name
1:30
you can decide if you want the logic of
1:33
the uh delay between the steps to just
1:36
be a time delay or if you want to
1:39
actually specify what time of day you
1:42
want each each post to
1:44
be and as you're building it the system
1:47
will just kind of create a default delay
1:49
between them which you can then
1:50
configure as needed but if you know that
1:52
all the PO posts are going to be say
1:54
like an hour apart you can then
1:57
configure this here
2:00
and also a big advantage to freeing
2:01
yourself from social media is that you
2:04
can do cool things like add a background
2:08
to your to your party and you can also
2:11
add an icon and we'll see what this
2:12
looks like in a second uh and
2:14
additionally you are able
2:17
to create a kind of a call to action on
2:20
the party itself say like driving people
2:23
to buy from your shop or to schedule a
2:26
meeting with you so let's go through
2:28
this we'll add an icon on
2:31
here and this will pop up when you click
2:33
on that any images that you've uploaded
2:37
already will be just found here but if
2:41
you need to add new ones from your
2:42
computer you can click on ADD content
2:45
you can use our our canva integration
2:48
we've got a giant library of stock
2:50
images too but let's just grab this
2:53
right
2:54
here add background we'll use this
2:57
background
3:00
and then to add an action here let's
3:03
just I'll show you what this looks like
3:07
you click on uh action this is the call
3:09
to action that you'll see in the party
3:13
itself and here's where you can
3:16
configure
3:20
it instructions we're going to ignore
3:23
that that's uh just for a very
3:24
particular use
3:26
case and then steps here we go this is
3:28
where you actually
3:31
configure all of your different posts
3:33
that are going to go up so add First
3:37
Step as you create social posts kind of
3:40
like with the images you'll see your
3:44
library of everything that you've
3:45
created so far so if you just want to
3:47
grab an existing one that's nice and
3:49
easy we're going to create a new one
4:02
and then you can add images here you can
4:04
add videos here
4:06
emojis add an
4:12
image create and insert and there we go
4:16
we have our our first post let's add
4:19
another step to add another post so you
4:22
can see this one is available here now
4:25
say create new
4:40
o and then let's insert an image
4:44
here I'm actually going to grab one of
4:46
those stock images so here we
4:50
go create and
4:53
insert so now you can see that there the
4:56
delay is popping up here it's because we
4:58
are set to fall delay of 1 hour it's
5:01
showing up as 1 hour but we can change
5:05
this as needed let's say maybe we want
5:06
this to show up two hours later save
5:12
changes and also you'll see that a bunch
5:14
of options pop up as you hover over
5:17
these that you can change templates you
5:20
can edit this particular post you can
5:22
delete it and also this is drag and drop
5:24
too so let's say you've built out 30
5:27
posts in a party now you want to put one
5:30
like in the
5:31
middle while you can just create it and
5:34
then drag it up to that place in the
5:36
Middle where you want it to be and this
5:39
is what that looks like see now party
5:41
post two is ahead of party post
5:45
one and now they are
5:47
back also note the minimize view here
5:52
because you can't see the images right
5:53
now and the the reason for that is
5:56
because often parties have lots of posts
5:58
this just lets you to uh let it take up
6:01
less space you don't have to scroll as
6:02
much but if you hit that now we can see
6:06
the images as
6:09
well so let's save our social
6:13
sequence and let's let's launch
6:17
it so I'm going to launch this by
6:19
actually hovering over it and you can
6:21
see that these options pop up
6:24
here I'm going to use the launch
6:28
one and we'll just work through these
6:30
steps you can see got finalize steps
6:32
choose accounts and then review and
6:37
launch so this one is going to launch at
6:40
like right now
6:42
basically you can decide to have
6:45
this go at a different time by clicking
6:49
there and changing the
6:51
time and you can also you have all the
6:54
options here to edit this too now note
6:56
these these changes are not going to be
6:58
saved for the long run uh they're just
7:01
going to be changed for this particular
7:05
send but you can make those changes as
7:08
needed here so I'm going to click on
7:10
choose accounts now here's where we're
7:13
going to configure the party
7:16
link and so again this is like basically
7:19
like this is like creating the Facebook
7:21
group that you're going to be posting
7:23
this
7:24
into so configure party link
7:28
page got the name you can add a
7:31
description to it as well this is going
7:34
to be the link itself that we're going
7:36
to be directing people to which you can
7:38
customize to and that would customize
7:40
this part right
7:42
here a really cool option as well is you
7:46
can make it so that this party will
7:48
expire after say 14 days of the party's
7:52
completion and then people will see a
7:54
message there saying hey join my Suite
7:57
if you want to continue talking to me um
7:59
that's not the exact uh copy there but
8:02
it's the gist of
8:04
it and we got the actions we've you know
8:07
we created that book and appointment now
8:09
action that we'll see in there you can
8:12
set the Privacy for this as well such as
8:16
you know requiring people to have a
8:19
login in order to see the posts at all
8:21
we think it's actually kind of cool to
8:23
leave that off so that people can just
8:24
simply go to this link and they'll see
8:27
what's happening in the party which
8:28
should then help entice them to create a
8:32
login in order
8:34
to in order to interact with any of the
8:37
uh the posts
8:39
there and you can also make sure that
8:41
you are requiring approval if you want
8:44
and you can decide whether or not you
8:46
want the guests to be able to see the
8:48
other guests in the party
8:50
itself got the design here that we
8:54
created and so going to hit save and
8:58
close we have now now created our party
9:01
link so we're going to hit review and
9:04
launch one last chance to just make sure
9:07
that everything here is looking
9:10
good and then so we can hit launch
9:18
sequence so now you can see that we've
9:20
got this our launch sequences here
9:23
here's U the one that we just
9:28
made and and you can go and by the way
9:31
this is where you can go to
9:34
see what is what what's going to be
9:36
happening here because obviously you're
9:38
probably going to be wondering when's my
9:39
first post going to go up when you know
9:41
when when are these all going to be
9:42
happening have they happened yet and so
9:45
you can see a breakdown here when you
9:46
hit this view
9:48
steps so this is in the the future so it
9:52
has not posted yet so that can answer
9:54
that question there and we can see post
9:56
number two is going to be happening 2
9:58
hours after
10:00
that so this is where you can manage
10:03
that you kind of again think of like
10:05
this as being like the the party
10:06
management system but if you want to go
10:09
actually see the party itself you can
10:12
see it up here so you just think of this
10:13
like this is basically like the social
10:15
media page and you've got your group
10:17
right
10:19
here and so we can go here go to
10:24
party and there we go this is the party
10:28
itself and and you can see that call to
10:30
action that we described earlier where
10:31
people can go to your shop whatever it
10:34
is that you want to direct people
10:36
towards and you can create a post here
10:40
as well if you just want to make a a
10:41
manual
10:44
post and also you'll see all these
10:46
options here too like you you'll be able
10:49
to have like a a group chat with
10:51
everybody that's in the party you can
10:54
see all of the guests who are
10:56
there you can con reconfigure these
10:59
settings too you know let's say you
11:00
create this party and then you just
11:02
decide you know I want to tweak this a
11:04
little bit well you can do that right
11:05
there and there's a quick and easy copy
11:08
invite link right here as well to be
11:11
able to grab that link send it to people
11:13
who you want to join the party so these
11:16
are the basics here of creating a party
11:20
and uh of course let us know if you have
11:22
any questions at all
