Your online offering—whether it’s a course, membership, or coaching program—can be at its most effective and easy to manage when it’s hosted on Searchie. I’ve been shouting that from the rooftops for years now! But you also want your clients to be highly engaged with your program, so that your clients get more satisfaction out of it and stick around. Incorporating VideoAsk into your offering is a great way to make it more “sticky.” Here’s how.

First, What the Heck is VideoAsk?

VideoAsk is a program that facilitates asynchronous video communication. I’m sure you’ve texted with friends before, each responding to the text conversation when you are available. VideoAsk lets people do that type of communication using video. This can be a more impactful and personalized experience than text posts in a community forum. It also makes communication fast and efficient. You can also use VideoAsk to send audio messages.

VideoAsk has three pricing tiers, each allowing for more monthly video minutes. There is a free version that allows for up to 20 minutes of video or audio messages per month. Next is the “Grow” plan, giving you up to 100 minutes per month for $30 monthly. And then there’s the “Brand” pricing level, providing up to 200 minutes of messages per month for $50 monthly.

How Can I Use VideoAsk to Drive More Searchie Engagement?

I’m glad you asked. There are multiple ways!

Reinforce Lessons and Check Understanding

A good teacher doesn’t just say, “Any questions?” at the end of a lesson. It’s all too easy to miss out on an opportunity to help a learner who’s feeling confused or a bit lost. You can use VideoAsk at the end of a playlist to ask learners content-based questions to check their understanding (the learner can choose from multiple-choice options and then see another video from you explaining whether they’re correct or not and clarifying).

You can also use VideoAsk at various points in the learning path to solicit questions and feedback. This can really help you take the pulse of how it’s going for your learners.

Gather Powerful Testimonials

Testimonials are worth their weight in gold, but video testimonials? They’re worth their weight in platinum! It’s easy to solicit and receive helpful, heartfelt video testimonials with VideoAsk. These videos add an extra layer of credibility and helps prospects feel a greater sense of trust and connection with your program and your community.

Check out how I implemented this in my client Shanee Smart Hoffman’s Searchie coaching Hub. As you can see, she invites the clients to share their stories (“We’d love to hear how this coaching has changed you”), a great way to gather feedback and testimonials.

Provide Powerful Coaching Support

Searchie is such a great fit for coaches and masterminds. Many coaches offer a premium-level perk of extra (or even unlimited) text or email support. Why not make that support VideoAsk based? Not only will this deepen your connection with the client and make them feel that high level of “touch,” but it will also save you both a ton of typing time!

Welcome Videos Can Create Community Fast

Help get the party going in your Searchie program community forum by asking new members to introduce themselves using VideoAsk during onboarding. A short video helps create a faster and deeper connection compared to social media or forum app posts. Your clients will get the sense that they know who their cohort members are and it makes them more likely to form solid connections.

VideoAsk Helps Gamify Your Searchie Offering

Gamification helps some learners stay interested, whether it’s developing a streak, reaching an achievement level, or a drive to ace a quiz. Use this to create fun in your offering, such as quiz questions that are tied to achievements or a “personality quiz.” Their answers can automatically lead to a video from you “replying” to their answer and congratulating them or providing clarification. How do you set this up? You’ll use the logic settings inside VideoAsk to create this interactive quiz.” It’s not difficult at all, I promise!

You Can Now Embed VideoAsk into Searchie

The developers at Searchie have done it again—they’ve gone and made Searchie even more amazing! Searchie’s new iframe capability allows you to embed your VideoAsk right into your Hub as long as you’re at the Pro payment plan or higher. I did this myself within my membership Hub! It looks great and it provides an easy and appealing way for me to check in with my members and see if they have any needs or questions.

Searchie and VideoAsk: A Great Combo

I’ve been using VideoAsk in my Searchie offerings for quite some time now and loving it. More important than me loving it is this: my clients are also loving it! In fact, many of my clients are implementing it, such as this client’s “Share Your Story” section in her membership:

If you’re like this client and you want a Searchie Hub but you dread setting it up, do as she did and hire me to do it via my Build My Searchie Hub VIP Experience. I’ve set up hundreds of Searchie Hubs and I love helping my clients’ Searchie dreams come true!
