We’re back and we’ve upgraded our chat menu! The new chat menu has a lot of added features, so read on to know what’s new.

We reduced the number of icons in the menu and moved them to a clearer menu bar. This allows us to add more options to better chat control.

The new look of the chat menu

In the old look of the chat menu, you’ll see that the settings are all lined up at the bottom part of the users’ list. There is no text or description unless you hover your mouse on each icon.

The new menu is a small window with all the important features that users ask us.

With our users’ suggestions, we made a new look for the chat menu. This includes the old setting functionality and more. Take a look at what we’ve done!

In addition to that, the new chat menu looks a bit different for admins and non-admins. Admins have now the option to MUTE all. Here’s how it looks like.

ADMIN MODE

See the difference between the new chat menus? Non-admin users don’t have the option to activate admin mode. As admins, only they can change that chat mode to admin mode.

Admin mode will stop everyone from typing. Only admins can type at this moment.

To know more about admin mode, you can check our previous blog.

Muting sound

The Mute sounds option. This is the option to mute the sound of all notifications.

• First, you need to open your chat. See the gear button below? This is your chat menu. You will see the different settings you can change.

• To change the settings of your sound notification, just click the slide. Green means it’s activated.

Private message muting pop-up

This means that, even if you receive private messages, the private chat won’t pop-up, instead you will see a red number next to the user icon indicating he sends you a message (or more).

How do you do it?

• To change the private chat popup settings behavior, slide to the left the private chat popup slide. As with the previous setting, the green color means it’s activated.

Changing font size

This is another feature we’ve added in the chat menu. Why do you need to increase or decrease the font size? It’s because not all people have 20/20 vision. Some are near-sighted, while others are far-sighted. Therefore, changing font sizes is our way to be inclusive of people with visual impairment.

You’ve already seen the font settings above. It’s the settings with the plus and minus buttons. This is what you use to increase and decrease the font size, respectively.

How will this feature help you? Personally, I’m a near-sighted person. However, I like to keep my font size small. I just like how the way it looks.

News and updates

This is just a small portion of the updates that we’ve made in the chat menu and admin panel. There’s more to come. From small to big changes, we are constantly improving our service. Our blog lets you know what those changes are and when they’re live. So, always check it out and bookmark it on your browser. You’ll be one of the people that know about it first!

If you’re a social media lurker, then this next option might just be the one for you. Follow us on our social media pages, for instance, our Facebook and Twitter ones. You’ll never miss a notification!

Liking our new features? If yes, then also check out our other new updates: Move and Resize the Private Chat Window, Delete Messages in a Private Chat, and How to Block Words and Profanity in your Chat. As I’ve said, we are always working towards our goal. That is, to make our customers happy and give top-notch service. We hope you join us on our journey to be the best online chat service. Therefore, we’d appreciate it if you keep supporting RumbleTalk. See you in our next blog!

Thinking about how other Instagram influencers can make hundreds to thousands through social media? What can you do to up your game?

There are several ways Instagram influencers can make money only.

• They can promote a brand for a retainer.
• They can promote affiliate products and get a percentage.

We would like to offer a unique way for Instagram influencers where they can get substantial recurring payments. We named this option mini-sites with a chat.

Let me explain, so grab some coffee or tea, because I’ll share all the necessary details you need to do to accomplish it.

First, talk as an Instagram influencer

Before you can make a fan group chat, you need to establish yourself to your audience. So, how do you achieve this?

Communication is the answer.

On your Instagram account, talk to your followers as if you’re already long-time buddies. This is the best way to establish a long and meaningful relationship.

While that’s happening, you will see the difference in how your followers connect with you and you can then make your approach. Introducing a mini-site fan group chats with the ability to charge a subscription entrance fee.

So, what can you do on your own fan group chat?

• Create your own fan space in the cloud.
• Associate this space (page) to your Instagram.
• Promise to share important details/inside scoops, or even personal secrets and experiences in the chat.
• Anyone that will join the chat will need to pay a subscription to be able to login to the chat.
• You get a steady income from your loyal audience.

So, how can you accomplish all that?

• First, create a page.

To create a page, you need to sign up on the RumbleTalk website. This is the tool that you’re going to use to create your fan group chat.

After that, log-in to your admin panel and go to “Page.”

Change any design or description that you would like on your fan group chat. This can be a link to your YouTube channel, share buttons for Facebook and Twitter, and even a link to your blog if you have one.

Now that I’m done sharing the basics, I can teach you how you can monetize your fan group chat. Instagram influencers can’t always just make money from ads, sponsored posts, or affiliate products. You need to step up your game if you want to maximize your profit.

• Set a subscription.

Your fan group chat can be monetized through a subscription fee. In order to do that, you need to change your paywall settings.

First, go to “Monetize Settings” on your admin panel.

Then, set the subscription fee you want. Remember to know your worth and define prices that are neither too low or too high. It’s also advisable to choose if your followers can pay monthly or annually.

• Add it to your influencer’s description and posts.

The last and final step is to add it to your Instagram bio and posts. Link your fan group chat, talk about it, and make it something that your followers will be interested about.

You can post the link on your Instagram stories as well. They can swipe up and check out the link to your fan group chat.

What are the rates I can charge my audience?

Your call, you decide what you want to collect and how often.
Normally, Instagram influencers have different rates and it’s all according to these factors:

• Follower size (the more followers, the more you can charge)
• Engagement rate
• Rate of influencer via specialty

On a report by Benjamin Chacon on Later, engagement is still the king for Instagram influencer marketing. So, it’s not all about the number of followers.

The factor percentage is as follows:

• Engagement – 79%
• Quality of followers – 70%
• Industry or niche – 67%
• Number of followers – 56%
• Budget – 46%
• Location – 33%

See what I mean by communication is key?

When you have a high engagement rate, it means that you know how to persuade your audience and they listen to you. If they don’t actually trust you, then why would they buy the products you sponsor or listen to your advice?

How about those with a lower number of followers?

If you’re on the lower side of the Instagram followers, let’s say, 1,000 to 100,000 followers, then you can use your strong engagement rate to earn up to $300-$400 per post (from vendors).

However, posting on Instagram isn’t the only thing you can do. You can also do the following:

• Make use of brand promotion via Stories (more posts, more money).
• Mention a specific brand on a caption.
• Promotion of brand giveaway
• Invite another influencer, brand, follower, or a friend to take over your account for a different perspective, e.g., BTS footage of you.

All of these can help you gain a following. Next, you can also introduce your fan group chat to your Instagram posts and Stories.

How much money can you earn as an Instagram influencer?

“Making $500 on Instagram? How can I start doing that? Is there any way I can join this club?”

Well, I’m glad that you asked that.

There’s more than enough money and space for everyone.

You don’t even need 50,000 followers just to reach those numbers.

Why you need RumbleTalk Pages to increase income as Instagram influencers

Think of RumbleTalk Pages as your portfolio.

Not many Instagram influencers know about this hidden option.

This is a great way to show your followers who you are and what your influence is. It’s also the solution to making your Instagram income go through the roof.

Lastly, here’s what you should add on your fan group chat:

• Description of what you do

This speaks for itself. Add a description of what you do on your Instagram and who you are.

• What your followers can expect

You can also add what your followers would receive when they subscribe to your fan group chat. If brands visit your page, then they’ll also get a sens of how you engage with your fans, leading to collaboration.

• Share buttons and other social media pages

Enable your share buttons so your fans can share them to other fans as well, or even new followers. Second, you can also add a YouTube link to your channel or a video of yours. This can help increase views and subscribers.

Tips and tricks to achieve a memorable group chatting experience on your website

If you’re thinking of creating a memorable group chatting experience on your website, then you should know how to create your own chat first.

Did you know that RumbleTalk now offers a minisite on the platform (RumbleTalk pages)?

However, only a few people know of it and I’d like to take this opportunity and share it again here. Since this is already our topic, the minisite is called “Pages” on the platform.

It serves as a mini-website for individuals who don’t need to create a website or ones that just looking for a venue for their service, business, or themselves.

This is the perfect platform for your Youtube live if you want to put it on your website. Below, let’s discuss the steps on how you can create a minisite on the platform.

• First, you need to register to RumbleTalk. Just go to the RumbleTalk website and click “Sign up.”

• Second, on your admin panel, you will see “Pages.” Click that and you’ll be redirected to another page. This is called a minisite.

• Third, set it up any way you like. It’s complete with a default template so you won’t have any problems on what you’ll put on the page. All you need to do is change it accordingly to your product or service (for this instance, your Youtube live).

How the Pages feature can change the way you look at websites

Minisites can help you communicate with your audience. In just one page, you can chat, stream, embed/hold a live event, share videos and documents, and more.

The Pages feature is an efficient way to have your own site/page dedicated to your service, business, or even your Youtube live. Editing the elements can help you decide the look of your page and what purpose it serves.

With this, you can create an event on your actual website not just in YouTube or any live streaming site. This is also the perfect solution for your dilemma if you want to embed your YouTube live on your website as the platform has its own group chat.

If you’re looking for just that, then you can head on to the RumbleTalk website and register to create one of your own. It’s free and easy to use!

Adding YouTube live on your website

Now that I’ve shared the platform’s Pages feature, it’s time that I share with you how you can add the YouTube live on your website.

Do you see the default template in the Pages feature? You can change any element there that’s suitable for your minisite. In this example, I’ll show you how you can add a YouTube live.

• First, log-in to your YouTube account.
• Next, you need to activate/verify your account to do a live stream. This takes 24 hours.

• When it’s ready, you can now go live! To go live, just click the video cam button on the top right corner.

• Set your livestream to “Unlisted” so only those who know the link will be able to view the live. Otherwise, you can leave it on “Public.”

• Save your changes by clicking the button on the right-hand corner on the bottom of the page.

NOTE: Don’t use the “Private” option because you will be the only one to see the live stream.

• When you’re done with the basic settings, go to your Creator Studio. Select “Live Streaming,” and then “Events.” Go to “Advanced Settings.”

• Make sure that the “Allow embedding” option is checked, so you can play your live stream within your page.

• Copy the URL of your YouTube live and paste it on your minisite. You can change this element anytime. So, you can use it for other videos and future lives as well.

Start your live stream on your page! If you’ve done all the necessary steps, you can go live.

Start your live stream from your PC, laptop, or smartphone. As soon as you’re ready, let your members know via your group chat.

Reasons to use RumbleTalk as your live event platform

As all of us know, YouTube already offers a live chat along with your live stream. So, why would you want to use RumbleTalk as your platform?

Below are the reasons why you should use RumbleTalk.

• Embed YouTube live on your actual website. This means that the YouTube live is happening on your website so you won’t be able to use the YouTube live chat, but you can use the platform’s chat as an alternative.

If you want to embed a chat on your own website (not on the RumbleTalk platform), you can find the instructions on our knowledge base.

• If you want to have a closed group chat about the YouTube live event, you can also use the RumbleTalk chat for that. Some discussions need to be private and not public as seen in YouTube.

You can even mute regular users and only admins will be allowed to chat. However, that’s a discussion for another blog.

• Last, you can create a room for paid live streaming. This means that users have to pay before they can enter the chat.

Adding paid access chat on your minisite

How can you do this? There’s an option in YouTube live called “Unlisted.”
This means that only people with the link can view the live, so you can embed it on your site, and then you can add paid access if they want to enter the chat.

If they don’t, the users will miss out on good info and they would not want that.

This is good for live workshops, seminars, and conferences. You are getting paid for your time and knowledge. Then, you can also answer questions of the audience through your chat.

Your audience can also donate in the chat so you can also use it for auctions or crowdfunding for organizations. The possibilities are endless.

If that’s what you’re looking for, then you can check out our previous blog on adding a group chat with a paywall.

You can now create your own unique live group chatting experience

With the tips and tricks that I shared with you, you can now create an unforgettable group chatting experience on your site along with your YouTube live!

As you can see, there’s not much to do if you want to create a community chat. It’s just some simple steps and you don’t need to create a new website just to go live and have a chat.

Just do these steps and you can see your audience’s positive reaction to YouTube live on your website.
