RumbleTalk has a new online help chat using the RumbleTalk new chat type – expert’s chat. This caters to professionals like advisors and experts.

How can you use RumbleTalk’s expert’s chat as an online help chat? Read on to find out how.

What is expert’s chat?

Expert’s chat is a one-on-one chat via private messages. Instead of using the typical group chat type, expert’s chat lets a professional lend his aid to clients, customers, or his followers.

When creating a new account, the default chat is the group chat. When we first launched RumbleTalk, we focused on communities. Now, we have added a new type of chat, especially for professionals. 

With this new expert’s chat, there is no group chat. Only the admin (professional) will see who are the active users. In addition, a user cannot initiate conversation if the admin is not active.

It depends on the chat owner to set the chat as paid chat or not. Paid access chat means that you will have an entrance/subscription fee before anyone can enter your group chat.

A new online help chat

This article focuses on using the expert’s chat as an online help chat. This means that therapists will be able to connect with their clients via RumbleTalk.

How do you do it? 

1. Make sure you are registered to RumbleTalk and then log in.
2. Change your chat type to expert’s chat/paid expert’s chat. To do this, in the new admin panel, you will see “Chat type.” Click that and you will see all the different types of chat. Choose from “Expert’s chat” or “Paid expert’s chat.” 
3. Both parties should be logged in before you can start chatting.
   Admin can see all users but the user can see only the admin.
4. Choose from the following option for chatting:
   • Chat – This is the most common form of chatting. This means that you will start messaging each other through texts. This is the simplest, but you can’t hear or see each other.
   • Voice call – This is an audio call. If the client is not comfortable with face-to-face conversation, then he/she can opt for this.
   • Video call – The most in-depth choice of them all. This lets you, as the online therapist, see everything, from facial expressions to mannerisms of your client. This is very helpful for addressing serious topics or heaviest problems.

In a world that’s diversifying income is a hot topic, it can be difficult to find reliable passive income streams. That’s why it’s important to think outside the box and discover new routes to your journey.

In facing this problem, a paid access chat can help. Furthermore, it helps keep out unwanted participants. This includes but is not limited to bots, spammers, scammers, and trolls. Chats with no entry restrictions or one that only requires a simple email and password to sign up are prone to this type of negative contribution.

Without restricting or banning this type of chatter or follower, it’s possible that genuine people who just want to converse and make genuine relationships will be driven away. Even worse, they can even be driven away if too many spam chatters are around or they might be harassed by these kinds of chatters. One way to address this problem is to be always attentive, but that takes a lot of time and effort to keep up.

There are tools to make this easier such as automated blacklists and features that filter for restricted content; however, it’s best to prevent this type of issues by simply installing a paywall to restrict access to a chat. A paywall is making use of paid access to your chat room.

Educational Uses and Time-Restricted Content with Paywall Chat

Of course, that is neither the only benefit nor the only use of this type of monetization. Chats can be incredibly useful for lots of things. That is, you can use chats for educational purposes.

For example, supplementing a chat with a video lecture can be more enticing for your participants. This allows users to discuss the contents of the lecture without having to run multiple programs or even having to switch to another page.

If the lecture itself requires users for payment, you can charge them before they enter the chat. This makes accessing the lecture an easier and more straightforward process. For example, you can charge them separately for the lecture, creating a login for them to enter the chat, and so on.

This could also be more easier for older people who want to join lectures or workshops. As a result, they will keep coming back to your website.

If users are supposed to pay for content associated with and attached to the chat room, a paywall can simply streamline the process. The chat makes users pay for a predetermined amount by the chat owner before they can enter the chat. Then, after paying the required amount, they receive access to both the content and the chat simultaneously.

Similarly, this tool is great for offering access to time-restricted content. This could be, for example, a month-by-month subscription service that is once again charged at the entry point (the chat). Since people use chats for all sorts of purposes and they often cover an endless number of topics, there are nearly unlimited possibilities.

Diversifying Income with a Paywall

RumbleTalk’s monetization features handle payments safely and automatically. Moreover, there’s no risk of being compromised by third parties. In addition to that safety, RumbleTalk also streamlines all income into a single account after automatically deducting a small fee.

The fee is equal to 10% of the set amount, which is far lower than what many other services charges. Also, it allows for maximum income through your chat.

Therefore, whether you are looking for a month-to-month type subscription service or are thinking of offering a one-time event with an entrance fee, paid access can benefit you, your users, and your bank account all at once.

Since you can also set the price with RumbleTalk’s paywall feature, it’s up to you to set the price. This makes the chat features more adaptable. Even a very low monthly or yearly subscription amount will be enough to keep out bots, spammers, trolls, and scammers.

Another option is to limit the number of participants for exclusive content with a higher price if this is deemed best. Online classes or trading communities are a few good examples where this may be necessary.

Setting Up Paid Access

If you do decide on putting up paid access for diversifying income, here are the steps you need to follow.

First of all, go to your admin panel and click “Monetize.” Then, click on “Monetize Settings.”

By clicking on it, you will be redirected to the monetization settings of your chat room.

In there, you will see “Paywall.” Check the box and adjust the fee that your users will pay. This will then opt users to pay for entrance/subscription to your chat room.

Whatever you decide on, it will reflect on the log-in page of your follower, chatter, or customer.

Here’s an example of the log-in page when you apply a paywall.

If you want to adjust the settings for payment, just click on “Monetize Settings” on “Monetize” in your admin panel.

This, in turn, will lead you to the monetization settings of your chat room where you can do the aforementioned for diversifying income.

If you want to see the payments made to you by your customers, just click on “Monetize.”

Click “Monetize Records” to proceed.

Here’s an example of how the records page will look like.

All-in-all, if diversifying income is what you’re after, RumbleTalk paywall can help you get there sooner than you think!

When it comes to monetizing a website as an extra income stream, there are already hundreds if not thousands of tools out there. Most promise quick results and some even suggest that you’ll be able to quit your job after a few months if you use them. Needless to say, it isn’t that easy. Like in most areas of life, get-rich-quick schemes tend not to work.

The Challenges of Monetization

Monetization is much more complex and difficult than some sites make it out to be. While it can be a rewarding and efficient income stream, it also requires a fair amount of work for it be continual. There are a variety of choices that allow people to gain money through websites. A few examples include placed links that earn a commission if a visitor purchases something through them, to clicking ads or ads that pop-up.

Monetizing Chats

One of the less explored ways to do this is monetizing a chat. This can be done in addition to other tools or on its own. It can be a surprisingly effective tool to earn money for the chat owner or owner of the site.

However, monetizing a chat without the right tools can be difficult. Experienced and skilled coders and web developers would no doubt be able to create a custom chat with this feature. The cost and process of developing, testing, and setting it all up, however, would likely wipe out any income the feature would bring in!

RumbleTalk’s PayWall chat is a ready-to-use tool that lets you get started with your paid chat in just a few minutes. It gives you complete control over what, when, and how you charge your users, making it perfect for just about any website. The added security is also a benefit. Setting up any PayWall (paid access), even if it’s low-priced, will keep out most spammers, scammers, trolls, and bots. You will spend far less time trying to keep your chat free of spam, which will be beneficial to both you and your users in the long run.

How to Set It up and Watch Your Income Stream Grow!

There are three main ways you can set up a monetized chat:

1. A one-time fee that grants unlimited access afterward,
2. A subscription-based system that has recurring payments, and
3. A limited-time access pass.

All three options have different benefits and drawbacks. The most important step, which is also the first step in this process, is selecting the right one for your site.

While a lifetime access fee allows you to charge a higher fee from your users, you are limited to one payment per user. Furthermore, a higher price may actually end up discouraging some users. As a result, this type of paid access is ideal if your chat is not the main feature of your website. Instead, you would use it if the chat is only an option to your website, not its main feature.

Three Ways for Monetization

A subscription-based system allows your users to pay for as long as they need access. You yourself can define how long you want users to have access for. While a monthly or weekly payment is the most commonly used, it all depends on you. This sets you up for a continuous stream of income. In addition, it can also lead to long-term clients paying a lot more than they would with a lifetime paid access.

The third type is specific to certain uses. If you use your chat to run, for example, webinars, or to host live event chats and the like, then your users will only need access for a certain period of time, leading to a lower rate of income.

If, for example, a webinar lasts for 3 hours, allowing your users to purchase a 4-hour pass (to give them a little time before and after to wrap up conversations/debates in the chat room) can be the perfect way to monetize your event or webinar, thereby setting you up with an income stream that’s both continuous and with a little bit of extra on the side.

So, How Do You Set Up Paid Access?

To set up paid access in your chat, you need to do the following.

The first thing you need to do is make sure that you check the settings for your chat. To do that, click “Monetize” on your admin panel. Then, choose “Monetize Settings.”

 

Now, you’re in the settings for monetization. To proceed, tick the box for PayWall. This will activate monetization.

If you want to change the fees for entrance/subscription, just adjust the fees for entrance/subscription to your chat room.

 

If you want to keep track of your income stream, just go to “Monetize” and click “Monetize Records.”

This will display your follower’s payments to you.

Setting up a PayWall for your income stream is easy. Just follow the aforementioned steps, and you’re ready to go!
