*drum roll*
Introducing… Searchie Hubs.
This is a feature inside of Searchie, the video hosting and content management platform. With Searchie Hubs, you can build a customized and tailored content experience that is everything your audience needs and more.
What’s the secret sauce, you might ask. First off, the entire platform is really easy to use, and you don’t need to be a techie to set it all up. Then, there are a bunch of automations that you can hook up to cut back on your processes and workflows, and spend more time on actually helping your people make progress and get results.
And then there’s another thing that Searchie does very, very well (*hint-hint* it’s in our name)…
All your video and audio content hosted on the Hub is searchable by word spoken. Yea, it’s super cool.
Let’s just say you decide to shout… “Coconuts!” in the middle of your recording, right before you drop some exciting news or a juicy tidbit about what you’re teaching. Your audience can then type in ‘coconuts’ and be brought to the exact second you said the word.
Well, if video or audio content plays a large role in your offerings, then Searchie Hubs will be a perfect fit for your business. Cool, okay, but that’s still pretty ambiguous. So let’s dive into how a “tailored content experience” can take hold and why hosting your business in a Searchie Hub is a no-brainer.
What we know to be true is that people love a community. We’re social people!
But when people want to invest and learn a skill, they know they have to get down to business. With endless distractions and numerous resources, it’s a given that our media content can be really hard to focus on. Reducing content overwhelm is our bread and butter, and soon it’ll be yours too.
Membership sites hosted on Searchie Hubs benefit from a high degree of organization, customization, and simplicity. And what do those lead into? Progress. Real, trackable progress. And no one has ever complained about making too much progress.
It’s hard to reimagine learning institutions when they’re older than Aristotle and his Lyceum. We’re not claiming to come close to Ancient Greece, but we do think that we have a pretty intimate understanding of how people learn.
With audience segmentation and the ability to easily tailor the content experience for each student, Searchie Hubs can redefine how personable, specific, and customized course content can be. That’s why thousands of users have chosen Searchie Hubs to host courses for people of all ages, markets, industries, and levels of expertise.
We know how addicting the Netflix algorithm can be, it’s how we end binge-watching show after show. here’s no reason why your course content shouldn’t deliver the same type of impact.
Your own personal Netflix featuring your audio or video content: what more could a student want? Here’s what we’re talking about.
Do you provide online coaching for 1-on-1 or 1-on-group clients? Maybe you find it difficult to keep your clients engaged and excited with consuming your content. Guess what? There isn’t a cookie-cutter answer to this… there are millions of coaching styles out there, as well as niche topics.
The beauty of creating a business in a Searchie Hub is that you can customize your user experience to suit YOUR style and audience.
For the sake of keeping things simple, we’ve created a simple scenario from the perspective of a Mathematics Tutor:
Math can be a surprisingly touchy subject. This is why it’s the perfect subject for a coaching program. If you find math hard, then how you experience math will most definitely make a difference. This Searchie Hub holds a math program that reimagines math as fun and engaging.
With the Searchie media player catering to a variety of learning styles, members can consume your coaching call replays and bonus content in a way that speaks to them.
Not only that, you can also organize any workbooks and other text-based documents according to topic and lesson. All we’re saying is if math homework looked like this in school, we could’ve been the next Einstein… well, maybe not. But we definitely would have paid more attention!.
The thing about podcasts is that they are largely inaccessible. Most audio players don’t include captions or transcripts. And once you listen to an episode, it’s nearly impossible to go back to a specific point and listen to it again (unless you jotted down that time code).
Audio files added to your Searchie account are automatically transcribed: meaning it doesn’t cost anything extra to make your podcast more accessible. Transcripts are available almost immediately after uploading and processing. And that’s a beautiful thing!
Searchie Hubs can also be a surprisingly powerful tool when it comes to audio content.
In addition to making your content accessible, you can also track analytics for your episodes. Not only will you be able to see what podcast episodes are the most popular, but you can also see what terms and topics your listeners searched for. This is an absolute power move when it comes to creating more content: you can filter through the noise to find what content your audience wants more of.
Want a quick tip for up-leveling podcasts while hosting your business in a Searchie Hub?
You can easily grab your podcast URL, pop it into Searchie, and then create a searchable database for all your episodes. Membership Expert Stu McLaren did exactly that for his Marketing Your Business podcast. Go ahead. Click the link and search for a term… and you’ll be taken to the exact moment in an episode where Stu talks about the topic. Try “searchie” for example. 😉
