Create a virtual space for your members

When it comes to connecting with your members, nothing beats having an exclusive virtual space that isn’t publicly accessible, such as the Members Chat. In fact, it’s one of the many features that makes RumbleTalk unique.

Members Chat, one of the RumbleTalk chat types, is a community-only chat feature. It enables your members to easily communicate with one another in a private group chat. You can even use this platform to draw attention to new services or product releases by directly informing your members about them. It’s easy, quick, and the most effective way to keep your community happy!

How does the Members Chat aid in creating an exclusive virtual space?

Members Chat is a private group chat available only to your members. It’s a virtual space/hangout where users can share and learn from one another. It’s an excellent way to instill a sense of belongingness and trust in your members. As a result, it functions as a real-life community group. It’s a secure environment where you can ask questions, make small talk, and connect with others all in one place. It’s ideal for small group discussions and community-exclusive events.

Chat features you can enjoy when you have an exclusive virtual space

Automatic log in via Login SDK

If you have your own user base and want to connect it to your RumbleTalk chat, follow these API instructions. Your users will be automatically logged into your chat with RumbleTalk’s Login SDK. If more advanced integration is required, the RumbleTalk RESTful API, in conjunction with the Login SDK, can be used. Learn more about it here.

Add a welcome message

live chat welcome message

A welcome message on your chat lets members know what to do when they enter the chat room. Your message can include brief details about the topic of your group chat, chat rules, or an introduction to what your community is all about. Create your welcome message in a few simple steps.

Moderate the chat as a chat admin

Assign your virtual space to an admin. He or she has the authority to delete all messages at once as acting moderator. Additionally, the admin can mute everyone in the chat, which is useful when you need everyone to focus on a presentation or announcement. Other admin features include the ability to collect feedback via polls, export chat transcript/user list, and disconnect or ban troublesome users.

Use InText Keywords to turn any word into a link to a website, file, or form

Use keywords to send registration forms, member announcement posters, video files, and other items. This improves the efficiency of every conversation.

Share files, images, and YouTube videos

Bring life to any topic by adding a file, image, video, or link to the group chat. Users can use RumbleTalk’s multimedia sharing tool by clicking the paperclip icon at the bottom of the chat window and selecting the file they want to share.

Make video or audio calls

In addition to text messages, your members can use the private chat to make video and audio calls at any time. Click a username and start a private conversation. You can then hold one-on-one calls.

Approaching chat rooms in a new way with a mini website

So you’ve got your website, social media pages, and any other tools you’ll need to launch your brand. However, you would need more than this to be successful. That’s correct. We’re referring to the benefits of creating a mini website.

A mini website has surprisingly more benefits than we thought. We’ll share some of our experiences on minisites and how they can help you improve your digital footprint.

What exactly is a mini website?

A minisite is, as the name implies, a small website. This section contains all of the important information that you want your visitors to see right away.

A minisite’s key elements

online communities

It’s good to have a plan in mind when creating your minisite. Design is important in making your minisite cost-effective, just as it is in creating your website. Consider the following factors to entice visitors to stay or visit your website:

Content — Your content should be useful and relevant to your target audience. This should all lead back to your website and pique the interest of your target audience. 

Design — Use an eye-catching design to captivate your audience. Make it something that will appeal to your entire target audience.

UI — Keep it simple and precise. Inform your audience about the purpose of your minisite and direct them to your main pages.

With these factors as a guide, you’re sure to have a successful minisite. So, how and where can you create a minisite? That’s the real issue here. Let us introduce RumbleTalk Pages.

What exactly are RumbleTalk Pages?

RumbleTalk Pages is a new feature that allows you to create a minisite. You can now make your own “CHAT” page in the cloud.

Consider adding a chat page to your website if you’re building a brand, the owner of a company, or an individual with a website dedicated to your service.

RumbleTalk Pages is a minisite template that allows you to customize the elements that you need.

Here are the elements that you can modify:

Profile and header image — Select photos that best represent your service or product. You can choose to display Facebook and Twitter share buttons.

YouTube URL — You can use this to link to a video about your product or service. Alternatively, you can post a link to your upcoming YouTube Live stream (more on that later).

Text area — In this section, you can include a site description. Inform your target audience about your service or product. Bring out your inner writer and capture the attention of your audience. This could be your strategy for attracting new customers.

Chat room — RumbleTalk Pages’ competitive edge is its chat area. You get your own chat room on your minisite for free.

When you sign up for RumbleTalk, you are given access to a chat room. This is reflected on RumbleTalk Pages. As a result, if you want to change your chat settings, simply return to your admin panel.

Here’s an example of how it appears.

As previously stated, the feature is included in all RumbleTalk accounts. So, before you can start building your minisite, you must first create an account. Follow these simple steps to ensure a smooth registration:

  1. To begin, you must sign up for RumbleTalk. Simply visit our website and click Sign up.
  2. Decide on the settings you want for your chat. Select a Group Chat, an Expert’s Chat, a Private Chat, or a Moderated Chat. It will then ask you if you want to enable monetization. Choose the best option for your product.
  3. Then, you’re now ready to begin editing your minisite. Simply navigate to Page in your admin panel and edit all of the aforementioned elements.

Making use of a mini website to market your product or service

Why use RumbleTalk Pages or RumbleTalk in general? Here are some of the reasons why.

To begin, you can incorporate YouTube Live into your website. This means you can interact with your visitors directly through your website. This is beneficial because it drives traffic to your website via RumbleTalk Pages.

Second, you can create your own minisite at no extra cost. If you require more rooms or seats, you can upgrade your account for a reasonable fee.

Finally, you can enable paid access to your chat. This effectively kills two birds with one stone. You get traffic and are compensated for your time and knowledge. Donations and private payment requests can also be enabled. Learn more about the paid access feature by visiting the knowledge base.

Increasing your digital presence

A minisite improves your digital footprint by adding links and driving traffic to your website. You create a brand by communicating with your target audience.

This, in turn, leads to advertising through word of mouth or social media sharing. It might not be the main attraction, but a mini website can be a powerful tool when used correctly.

Putting all these information in mind, you’re sure to expand your audience reach. Create an unforgettable live stream, chat with your audience, and design an incredible one-page mini website.

Where to use the Moderated Chat: From Presentations to Conferences

Hosting live events on modern platforms has become commonplace since the internet’s inception. And, a Moderated Chat has a wide range of applications. Some people use it on social media sites like Twitter and Facebook. Some people use it for live events on their websites.

This article will discuss how to use a Moderated Q&A Chat on your website. We’ll show you how to host a live event with a Q&A chat, from creating your own chat to moderating the discussion.

For inclusive, two-way communication, use the Moderated Chat for Q&As

Create an open environment in which everyone in the chat room has a chance to be heard. This can be accomplished by enabling the Moderated Chat, which will undoubtedly make your presentations more engaging and inclusive.

This function may be especially useful in a virtual business conference, workshops, trade shows, classes, podcasts, or any other type of event where the organizer and participants have two-way communication.

Create your Moderated Chat

  1. Sign up to RumbleTalk.
  2. Navigate to the Admin Panel and select Moderated Chat as your chat type.
  3. Appoint an administrator to serve as the chat room’s moderator. He or she will have complete control over the Moderated Chat’s functions, including the ability to approve or reject messages before they go live. Go to your Admin Panel. Click Users, and then add a new user.
  4. Select admin for rooms if you only want your moderator to have access to one chat room. Alternatively, select an admin with global access to authorize them to act as a moderator in all chat rooms.
  5. You can now pose your questions to your audience after appointing your administrators. Your moderators can sort through the questions and decide which ones to approve before they go live. Your audience will only see questions that have been approved.

What instances can you use the Moderated Chat for?

Even if you’re an industry veteran, you may be unfamiliar with moderated chats. So, here are some examples.

Presentations. Client meetings and professional meetings are examples of these. If you have a smaller team, you can hold company-wide presentations and allow participants to join the chat. They can then send in their input. These types of meetings are increasingly important, especially in the age of remote work and freelancing.

Webinars and webcasts. These are events that take place primarily in a virtual space, as the word “web” implies. A webinar is a live event, whereas a webcast is a previously recorded event. They both use web chats for communication. The Moderated Chat will be handy since everyone will be sending messages at the same time. Admins can then moderate the discussion by approving or rejecting the messages before it goes live.

Online classes. Online classes have been a part of the new norm since its inception. This can be a combination of online courses and participation in class activities via the chat room.

Conferences. Speakers can share their knowledge about a specific topic by attending your event. Admins will be the moderators. They will screen questions before they go live in your online conference.

All of these events require audience participation, moderation, and interaction. And, the Moderated Chat can be used to accomplish this.

Live chat is a must-have tool

A live chat is an essential tool for making virtual events more engaging. Instead of just having great speakers, engaging with your audience creates an entirely new user experience.

Some of these features may be available to you depending on the chat platform you choose. However, if the one you’re currently using is lacking, we recommend using RumbleTalk as your live chat platform alongside your live streaming platform for better audience engagement.
