hello I am so glad you were able to join me today if this is your first time here
my name is Ileane and I'm with ileanesmith.com and you know sometimes they
say another day another website well that is when they are easy enough that
you can start them up from your iPhone in less than five minutes and that's
what happened to me today when I heard about an app and it's called universe
website builder and it's only available in the iOS Apple Store so sorry for the
Android users but I think you will still enjoy this quick tutorial about how to
set up the app okay so with that I do want to show it to you on the screen
share and let's see we had a little difficulty with the screen share but
let's see if we can get it going again
so here is the universe website builder app over in the iOS App Store so there
we go let's see you guys may remember those of
you who have been with me for a while may remember that I started a nother
podcast and it's called the free podcast host and you know I'll link to a video
that tells you about that and my problem with the free podcast host was getting
that domain was kind of expensive but I wanted to set up something that I could
quickly use as sort of like think of it like many tumblr or and about me page
okay and I started out on medium but then some things about medium just I
don't know wasn't exactly what I wanted and I happen to listen to my friend
Patrick this morning talking about this app called the universe now when you go
over in the app store if you just search for universe you're probably not going
to find it so I have a quick link for you and it's ileane.link/getuniverse
I'll give you that again in case you don't know how to spell my name
here's your little spelling lesson I L E A N E
ileane.link slash universe I'm sorry get universe getuniverse get universe okay
so head over to the iOS App Store and get it's absolutely free and you don't
have to get a custom domain if you don't want to
so in fact I'll show you again on my one that I have for free podcast host I did
not use a custom domain but there's a reason why I just decided not to do that
like I said first of all free podcast host calm is expensive and somebody
sitting on that domain and I'll just let them have it it's okay because I also
use rebrand Lee and if you heard me talk about rebrands Lee before or if you
haven't that's okay I've got a video I'll add the YouTube card for the
rebrand Lee so my short link it's like a minute ago I gave you a short link I
leaned that link right slash get universe I also have a domain from
rebrand Lee that is free podcast that host so if you want to check out my
little site that I just setup and your your iPhone oh actually you can check it
out on the web or on any phone really because it's technically a website and
you can just go to freepodcast.host/app because I'm considering
this as my little app alright so let's go over to the screen share again and
let's hope it holds up because of the way I'm doing it today alright so here's
what the site looks like and if you go into it you'll see that I actually have
let's see let's view the site so the long domain for currently right now is
free podcast host dot own universe calm because that's their domain one universe
just oh in universe right and so I have my banner up at the top and this is
where I say it's kind of like an about me page you know or like a little mini
tumblr blog I have my Twitter I have my anchor station and I thought that was
pretty forward of them they already have anchor included in there and then here
for my contact I you have to put a phone number in this particular little witch
because you can call these like little widgets and I actually use my Google
Voice number there so you could actually call me on that Google Voice number if
you want and then I just gave the little tagline about my site I help people find
a free podcast host so they can get started with podcasting then there's
that link to that medium blog then there's a link and I'm not even sure I
remember where that link goes so but it goes to one of my properties right and
then I have a twitch station Oh actually the twitch station is called anchor show
oh I know where this link goes this link goes to the podcast over one
Spreaker in fact let's see what happens when I click that on so yeah so it goes
to the free podcast host over on Spreaker which is eventually going to be
submitted to itunes oh right as I'm building the site out so let's go back
let's see where it takes is it's gonna take me back to oh there you go it took
me back so I quickly wrote a short blog post to describe what the site is about
and so here's my little first little blog post now with the blog posts let's
see you clicking one so you can see the whole thing now this would be if I was
going to edit it with the blog post it seems that you can't add any HTML at
this time from what I've seen so far you know it's just strictly alt text which
is fine you know because like I said all the links that I wanted to refer to and
I guess I could always type in a link even though it may or may not be
hyperlinked and you know what I didn't even try so maybe I can hyper hyper link
so what I'm going to do is basically show you cuz I know you guys know just
like setting up a profile on any site or my social media you go and you fill out
your name and of course they went your email and they want the name of your
account so I'm not going to go over all of that right I'm going to just go into
the part where you start setting up the site so since mines is already set up
I'm going to go to edit so you can see what the what it looks like okay so it
asked me to fill in a logo so I filled in my logo and see these you can see
these little grid lines there right these grid lines represent widgets
your widgets it's the best way I can describe them as just like widgets on a
blog you know you're like you would have one wordpress.com or on blogger or one
you know your regular self hosted WordPress
now this is one thing they don't have on medium and this is why medium wasn't
sufficient for me because you don't get to have widgets and I guess I'm just
used to a widget eyes sight so what you could do right now I don't have any
extra rows but let's say I wanted to promote a few more sites let's say I
wanted to promote my upcoming event actually it's my daughter's event but an
event that I'm speaking at which is the entrepreneurs and leaders conference so
then I would add a row and see now how there's three pluses there those are
those three grids that I can add something to so just click on the plus
and I can add it you see at the bottom of the screen there right I can add a
photo video some text a link and email address forget what that is that one is
if I just wanted to do like a style and fill in some text on top of it I do
believe and don't know that much about that one so we're not going to go into
that one too much and this one is for a map so that would be perfect for the
entrepreneurs and leaders conference which is going to be on March the 16th
and 17th here in Philadelphia at the Hilton on City Line Avenue so I could
put that address in there so that would be an excellent matter of fact I
probably will later on today set up one of these little sites just like a little
mini site you know for the conference okay so you can add up the background
picture you guys may see that I have my background picture already added but
just so you see how it goes I was just go in here and choose a photo or an
effect but I'm not going to do it okay so you have are we you can barely see in
the back grant of all that you can see my image the same image I use for the
thumbnail on this video and by the way I want to say hi to
by this in the chat but since I have problem screen sharing I'm not gonna do
it right now I'm gonna screen share as soon as I finish going through this
stuff okay so and then I also have to grab the links to which which was a
complete fail because I couldn't screen share what I wanted to screen share
earlier okay so let's say we wanted to you know we had all these filled out and
I wanted to just add another row said just temp simply tapped on that add a
row that plus button there but now we realize no we added too many rows by
mistake so you just remove them remove the extra rows okay and at the bottom is
their little logo there but hopefully you'll see that I've already added a
link over in the chat and I'm going to check that chat environment one momento
okay I gotta get this link over into a muted tab before I even do that okay I
see tisha shared the link over in the facebook chat thank you so much Tish
you're awesome okay let me pop out the YouTube chat
guys yes so the nightbot has already showed up oh okay
the lounge network is here - hey Andrew and Beauty bubble hello hello hello
and so I think the night but has to come back in a few minutes
and tell you guys the link so I'll just give it to you now in order to get this
app you just want to go to Eileen that link up she popped up as soon as I was
gonna say it but it did the linked it and translate correctly I gotta go in to
nightbot and fix that so here it is Eileen link slash get universe
there you go there's a like only I forgot to put HTTP Oh some things have
gone wrong with this live stream but we don't care we carry on even though we
had some screen share failures already so let me see what you guys are saying
and actually before I do that I'm going to just in case someone wants to join us
on screen I'm going to get that link over to you guys
and I realized that some people can't it's too early you know I wanted to make
sure that I got in and out of here before the rain is coming here in
Philadelphia oh and by the way thanks to barb for reminding me that it was World
Cancer day and so I want to make sure I acknowledge
that as well but if anybody does want to join me I'm posting the wrong link haha
sorry oh I didn't press control/command see okay
tells me to press command-c actually what YouTube should do is once I click
on that link it should automatically put it on my clipboard so back over on the
Facebook group guys where my patrons are in the Facebook group there I just
posted the link if anyone wants to join me in one cam okay
so now I'm going to stop screen sharing and try to screen share the chat again
hey hey okay at least I got back on here that's partially there alright let's see
if I can get the chat going there you go okay every little bit helps
alright let's go scroll all the way back to my hashtag our gist tissue Rosales
has already hashtag Ilene fun and my true royal family comes in and says
how's the Queen hi ha Capone I know you said iOS only but I'm
still interested and you know what I love about you is your thirst for
knowledge that's right because you know they could probably release an Android
app at any moment cuz it's such a simple lightweight app I don't even know why
it's not on Android right now but anyway so you shared the link over in the
messenger thanks Tish and then Andrew is a phone
number oh well oh no you don't have to put in a phone number Andrew I just
decided that since I have a Google Voice number I will put that in there and
maybe I'll go back to the screen share to show you that there's more options of
things that you can fill in and then more mode is here oh yes I'm so glad you
made it while we were actually live and then this time Carlos when he said
morning Carlos is the lounge Network by the way it actually is morning Rob oh
you know what Rob I am so sorry about last week when you were banned by the
nightbot and that's because you use all caps and so once I figure out how to
turn that off on night but then you won't we won't had that problem because
I have no real problem with people using all caps of course that doesn't happen
with Andrew or Tish because they're moderators so nightbot knows that so as
you see Tish has put a lol in all caps and Andrew has put a yay in there yes so
sorry about that and so nightbot yes I do have to go in
there and adjust nightbot because once again he shared the link incorrectly but
you nasty nasty nightbot bad bad boy and he's like no I'm only as good as the
person who set me up and so obviously I did something wrong oh you know what I
probably shouldn't put any text after the link when I'm setting up night bye
okay well you know we can take a quick look at that too when I when I finished
and I didn't have it I haven't seen anyone tried to join me yet
oh yeah if Rob and I did a little video where I talk about night box so I'll
give you that link to Rob because nightbot is really cool I do like it and
it works on Twitch as well so it's nice to have a comment and see like now he's
reminding you guys to give the video a thumbs up
yes he comes in handy night BOC is like an unruly child that needs constant
attention yes I have to stroke it
okay that's get your minds out the gutter here yeah alright so you know
what what I want to do is show you the website over on the Internet as opposed
to being on the iPhone so it is free podcast host slash app okay I just set
this up a few minutes to go guys that's why I didn't roll off the tip of my
tongue you're probably wondering you know name
your own website no cuz I just did it it looks kind of June well I mean of course
because my pictures in the background I think it's cute but you know what I'm
saying I think this is a great little landing page and like I said you can put
all kinds of different things in here you don't have to just use the ones that
I use the Twitter it's always get this promote Twitter though right and you
know I could promote my own Facebook page you know but I was thinking about
setting up maybe an Instagram or whatever for free podcast host so I just
left it blank for now but I can I can play around with it all day because it
only took me no exaggeration guys this could not have taken me more than five
minutes to set up and five minutes is probably being too generous it probably
was like three and a half minutes so just go in here and set up you know
this little app basically that's what it is and then whenever I blog now how does
somebody get to my blog oh this is how you get to my blog I answer my own
question so here's the little blog post that I wrote you know it looks kind of
smallish but remember people are looking at this on their phones I'm just showing
you guys what it looks like on the web but hang on let's see if what happens
when I increase the looks a little bit better you know if somebody's looking at
it on the web but it's really you know a mobile thing it's not really you know
you people aren't away if you want to just go to your website and you can
probably put one of those little things there and said go to the website like on
my tagline instead of me just saying I help people you know to start a free
podcast I can also say if you're on the web visit
I mean smith.com or free podcasts that hosts I don't know one of those places
Spreaker or wherever so is anybody trying to join me this morning oh love
love love for anybody to just come and sit and say hi does nightbot have a
Super Bowl prediction well you know I live in Philadelphia Rob so hey there's
a support video podcast I came late sorry Wow you can put you can upload
videos to this tool now I did not try to upload a video but since we're here
positive gaming in the house hello hello so I've already done a little demo of
how to use this app but Rob Foose I guess he's calling fools for short it's
brought up a good question so let's experiment and see if we'll blow this
thing up I'm going to try to upload a video you forget Patriots I'm Eagles all
the way go Philly yeah now I didn't say that I'm just reading a
chat y'all but you know like I said I am in Philly so who else am I going to root
for you know I don't you like football so I would be really kind of crazy to
not root for my own home team haha fuzz like the cops okay Rob fuzz I like
it I love it Rob okay let's see if we can actually oh goody another chance to
break something I know Andrew were like I thought about you too Andrew let's see
if we can break universe universe website builder okay and it's iOS only
just to repeat that for folks that just got here okay so I'm done now so let's
do another post right so I'll see you guys see I'm in the post area okay no no
no that's not where we want to just do it
let's go to edit so I'm actually editing all these widgets that are on my home
page alright cuz it did say that I can add a video but let's see just how that
really looks so you got to add a row you're stuck with this grid format so I
think you need to add things in threes but I could be wrong it may be possible
that you can combine a one of these but anyway since I took a bunch of videos
from last night at my daughter's event well she had a dinner for all the
speakers from the entrepreneurs and leaders conference so I should have some
videos there that I can bring it you know it's trying to take a video now you
see my nicely painted wall there were we're not going to use that so I'm going
to hit the icon that's gonna let me go into my camera roll and I think this was
one I just took of the skyline from my daughter's view from video too long to
send please select a smaller clip from this video okay the sender's select the
smaller clip the video was kind of fuzzy but that's not what we're looking at
anyway we're just looking at what it look
like to add a video okay there oh yeah that was one of those super zoom things
on Instagram that I did holy for Jesus of course it's all cropped and
everything but it looks cute oh my gosh so then then I gotta go back every time
you add something to that homepage you have to you know publish it again all
right so let's see oh I like these messages you finally have something to
put in your Instagram bio spit off your emails by adding a new site to your
email signature throwing a party soon impress your friends with a website
invite your Twitter just got way more legit add your site to your bio remember
business cards this is the 2018 version love that you finally had okay we're
going back to the same one we already saw yes absolutely it's great to use it
for Evite's and I just realized that you guys did not see what was just don't
what my bad I think that was user error I don't think that was hangouts that
time I'm not a hundred percent sure about that though okay no problem we'd
do it again hurry so since I flubbed that up right you're
going to edit we can do it again alright and remember I said I think things going
threes cuz this is that grid layout maybe this time we'll pick another video
all right so I've chosen video instead of you seeing my wall you click the
little icon here that goes into the camera roll so we'll go into the camera
roll and let's see one that's relatively sure it sort of be easier for me to trim
these were probably some of my Instagram stories here tells me that the video is
too long it's okay you're just shorten it until it seems okay looks awfully
pixelated but that's okay alright and we're gonna say okay oh yeah it only
looked pixelated and the via the preview so I could put any kind of message in
there guys know this keeps failing so I see now wasn't my fault
it doesn't like me going in there and showing the the choosing of the video so
it that seems to be when it's failing but you know I have my eyes over on the
side so I didn't say so anyway there you go you see what it looks like the
finished product and now that we've done that oh there's arrow because I still
have to publish it moves over so yeah there you go
oh no close the app that was a shutdown but I'm not blaming that on universe
I'll blame that one what we're doing here with hangouts okay go to view again
that second one didn't work so that's okay and it could be because it was off
sighs we'll see no the other one probably the same size because it was
from Instagram so we'll try it again but I think you
guys get the point of how you can easily just upload videos so and Andrew wanted
me to break it so that's fine so let's go over to the posts and see if um how
do I hit another post I forgot oh no actually I'm on the web viewing it okay
let's go to post to add another post oh I can only add a photo there so I can
only add a photo a title and text but what I didn't try is let me go back to
the other blog post guys cuz I just want to see if I can add a link here what
happens when I add a link so I'm going to make sure I do it the right way and
put HTTP sorry I'm a slow Piper on the phone don't think it
accepts hyperlinks but we shall see in a minute doesn't look like it does yeah so
oh I put a space in there so used to putting a space in my name I still don't
think it looks like a hyperlink to anything yeah no it doesn't hyperlink so
nope so that's okay it's just plain text and
you know you put all your links on the main page right which I showed you guys
already but just to show you again these links actually do work so let's see what
happens when we try to open up anchor right over to my anchor station hey and
are you so YouTube live held up through that little transition whoo
okay so the universe app and for those of you who are on iOS just go to Eileen
dot link slash get universe one word no dashes okay guys let's just take another
look at the chat before we sign off today and we may wind up going live on
Facebook later on okay so stay tuned for that and does does this spread out on
the website I will show the website as soon as I take the chat down so okay
goody another chance okay Oh iOS only is it broken already have a great day okay
you too Rob buzz uh-huh watch the replay later all right my dear
erase witness go over to the website I always have to transition
back to myself before I go look at anything on the website now I'm of
course I'm gonna have to refresh the website okay because you know I made
that change or try to anyway this is another way to test to see that the link
yeah wait wait a minute hang on it looks like that link does work on the web no
it doesn't it doesn't work it doesn't work you just have to copy it in you
know so that's okay none of the links work in the blog post as of yet but you
know this app is pretty new I think it came out in March but you know not that
many folks know about it in fact let's head over to their Facebook page I can
remember where what it was let's say I go into my history my stop screen
sharing because what I looked at on the history you guys would be like what is
she going over there for okay let's see uh I do want to see if I can remember
where him looks like here it is because I was looking through their photos I
wanted to get their logo and so let's say when did they start the Facebook
page you know is it's probably going to start really gaining some mint momentum
right now it doesn't have much but at least I found out about it I found out
about it from someone who you know is not that techy and he was bragging about
not being that time Hecky and I'm thinking wow Here I am
Little Miss techie and this non techie person turned me on to something so that
was once again give a shout out to my friend Patrick from we live on a planet
and we can look at Patrick's site too and it's in the sack so here's the
Facebook page and I think it tells you on here somehow oh they were initially
holding a Conte for folks to draw the logo and so here
they were the app of the day and that's how Patrick found it yesterday they were
the app of the day in the App Store okay so that's a big deal right for an app to
finally make it to the app of the day and so I guess this is why they're
starting to get a little bit more you know visibility now and so let's just go
over to the website but it's basically a medium blog because you know nobody does
blogs anymore they all just do medium so let's go to all of the blog posts there
and I think their very first blog post was in July so maybe no this was a July
update so like I said I think it started in March some of my research that I did
this morning indicated that they started in March of last year but they didn't
really get things going until you know they got their logo together and all
that stuff okay so his this January says capping our first year with powerful
tools to manage your site so there you go it came out sometime in 2017 so
that's pretty amazing and it's very nice that they are getting
a lot of notoriety now so let's just we live on a planet calm just give my boy
Patrick a shout-out no and here he's got his anchor station and his email his
Instagram and some pictures and put a little message that says thanks for
visiting we live on a planet so you know it's a great way to just for someone who
just doesn't want to learn how to build a website you don't want to learn how to
build a blog or any of that but you want people to be able to find you and you
don't want to just tell them head over to anchor because if they're not on
anchor they're probably not gonna head over to anchor but they probably are on
Instagram right so you say oh here's my Instagram or
they might be on Twitter so it's just like a little about me page but even
simpler than about me and it's just really quick to do when you're on iOS
and I thought it would be a fun thing for us to explore today so I'm just
gonna check the chat to see if you guys have any questions before we shut this
one down and someone else came in oh it's in Spanish so I do understand that
you're saying hi so a saludos Co Dallas Pyro's dead they still out pop you come
from the Republic Dominican Republic yes thanks for being here I appreciate
it and um Tish you're awesome Tish Rosales and Andrew you're fantastic
yes Thank You Tish she's letting me know that Conell Christians were saying hello
thank you so much Tish and Andrew if you're still here thank you thank you
thank you and of course my phone starts ringing so I guess I will bid you guys
adieu and hopefully I will see you guys later on I'll be live-streaming
somewhere just keep your notifications on and if not for those of you on
YouTube I'll be back here next weekend so with that bye for now
peace
