We’re gonna be talking tonight about the lifestyle vlogger template from Wix.com. This is a great template for anyone who wants to produce their own shows, who wants to become a vlogger, which is, if you don’t know what that is, it’s a combination of the word video and blogger. So instead of writing blogs, it’s someone who just takes out their camera and they just show their life and they share their passions and their interests. This is a really hot item right now on Youtube so if you even were thinking about being a vlogger or anything like that, check out this website template from Wix.com. I will show you the template itself we’ll do a quick walk-through and then I’ll show you how to customize it for your own channel. So, if that sounds great, go ahead and stay tuned guys, let’s get started…

Let’s go ahead and take a quick tour around the template itself. So here’s the website. Obviously at the top you would have YOUR
name, again, these are made to be customized, so obviously you’re not Emily Silver. You would put your name here instead. It’s got a link so if I click on that, it actually will go right to the home page, or if I tend to stray away, there’s always a way to come back home. So the Emily Silver is the home
button.

It’s got a very simple menu and really what I like about this is it showcases the videos. You know, that’s what a lifestyle vlogger does. They make content. The whole idea of this template is to leverage the power of Wix in the Wix backend and the Wix editor, so that you only have to worry about making video content and uploading it. Once you build your site into this template, the website will just run itself. That’s one of the great things I love. This uses the Wix video management system. If you want to know more about that, check us out at the Webmaster Academy. I do a whole series on just the Wix video backend, but I’ll give you a quick tour here. There’s really
two ways you could do this. You can use your videos, you can upload them to YouTube or Vimeo, and you would just add those videos to the playlist or you can actually upload your videos to Wix.com and let Wix handle the management of your videos. What’s nice about that way is then your videos are secure and there’s no advertising. In fact if you wanted to take the next step, you can actually charge people to watch your channel. Especially if you’re a consultant or a coach.

You can actually put a payment wall in front of your videos. I won’t talk about that on this episode, because this template is not a paid video template. I just wanted you to be aware of some of the possibilities that are out there. So here we have the main video that’s got text laid over the top so you would go ahead and put whatever text is appropriate to your channel and you can just click watch now so it’s a full-screen image and when I click on “watch now”, you get this light box that opens up. It gives you some basic statistics over here on the right and if I play the video,okay, so you may not have heard all the
music because I have the computer sound off, but you might have heard a little bit…it’ll go ahead and play the video. You obviously want to put your best video front and center and so your latest and greatest can go right here on the cover. Or maybe an introduction video, if you’re new to vlogging.

The other interesting feature is down here on the bottom right, they have this “chat with us” box if I click on this arrow, it comes up, and you could type in a message. Now if you’re out there vlogging cuz you’re hanging off a cliff somewhere and you’re doing a selfie, you can’t answer this little chat box, right? So part of it is this kind of this Robo chat. So there’s automated responses that you can plug in and especially frequently ask questions and it will respond the best it can. But you will get those messages in your email so you could always respond to these messages remotely. You don’t have to be in front of your computer to actually interact with your audience and it’s that immediacy, that’s really getting a lot of leads in modern websites. So the chat box is already built in for you.
