Video Funnels

Questions this video answers

What is the interactive video funnel feature in StreamAgent?
StreamAgent's interactive video funnel feature lets you embed clickable buttons inside a video player so viewers can choose their own path through a series of videos. It also allows you to capture leads like emails and phone numbers directly within the video player, without sending viewers to a separate page. 0:08
How long does it take to build a video funnel in StreamAgent?
According to the video, you can create an entire video funnel from recording to uploading to wireframing in less than 30 minutes. 3:12
If I change the first video in a StreamAgent funnel do I have to update the embed code on my website?
No. The embed code for a StreamAgent video funnel stays the same even if you swap out the front-end video. You can change the first video without touching any code already placed on your website. 3:23
How do you connect videos together in a StreamAgent video funnel?
You open a video in the editor, go to Interactions, drag a button onto the timeline at the moment you want it to appear, then set the button's action to 'Play another video' and select the destination video. You repeat this for each branch in your funnel. 5:10
Can you capture email leads inside a StreamAgent video player?
Yes. You can drag a turnstile element onto the video timeline, and when viewers reach that point they are prompted to enter their name and email without ever leaving the video player. 7:45
Where do the leads collected inside StreamAgent videos get stored?
Collected emails are stored under Analytics > Collected Emails. The data includes first and last name, the browser used, and which video the viewer came from. You can export it as a CSV file. 8:43
Can StreamAgent integrate with email marketing tools like MailChimp?
Yes. Using the back-end integration, opt-in data can be sent directly to a MailChimp account automatically, so new subscribers are added seamlessly without a manual CSV upload. 9:26
Can you add a pre-roll video with a skip button in StreamAgent?
Yes. You can set a video to play as a pre-roll at the beginning of your funnel and add a skip button that sends viewers directly to the main video, which is useful for promoting an upcoming event or announcement. 11:17

Introduction to Interactive Video Funnels

0:00All right guys, it's finally time for us to dive into what is truly the

0:08signature feature of Stream Agent, and that is the interactive video funnel feature.

0:14Now this is a game changer for your video players.

0:16This will allow you to actually generate leads and actual sales within the

0:20video player element.

0:22It's really dynamic, really cool, and really will be a game changer for your

0:26business.

0:27Now just to give you a little bit of context, I've been doing sales literally

0:30my whole life.

0:32My very first job was a sales job.

0:33I was going door to door selling security systems, which you can imagine was a whole

0:37lot of fun.

0:38I've sold everything from I worked selling beverages, like I've worked selling

0:43electronics.

0:43I've sold, I've done retail, I've done Fortune 500, I've done real estate, and

0:49so I've kind of seen it all.

0:51The one thing that I think we can all agree on when it comes to sales is you

0:54have to ask the right questions.

0:57That's what this will allow you to do.

0:58It will allow you to ask questions, take a customer down the journey to where

1:02they land, and you can speak directly to whatever their pain point is.

1:07As you know in sales, that really is the key to closing people, is really

1:11speaking directly to where they're at and what pain they're in at that moment.

1:17I'm going to go ahead and dive in and show you how this works.

1:20Just to give you a little context, like I've said, I've sold a bunch of stuff.

1:23I would like you to put your thinking helmet on or your thinking hat on here.

1:29I'm going to do this from the perspective of a real estate agent for all of my

1:32examples, but if you're selling anything else, you're selling insurance or if you're

1:36doing mortgages

1:37or if you're selling retail products, whatever you can, I want you to kind of

1:41try to think

1:41of how would this framework apply to what I'm doing and what would my video fun

1:47nels look like.

1:48I really want you to get yourself thinking that way as you watch through this video.

1:52Like I said, I'm going to go through from the perspective of a real estate

1:55agent just because I have a lot of experience in that.

1:58Let's go ahead and check this out.

Building a Video Funnel in the Dashboard

2:00I'm going to go ahead and share my screen.

2:02We are inside right now the interactive video element here.

2:06This is the video drive here at the top where you're going to load in, click

2:09over here on the right-hand side and you've got the interactive video element here.

2:15I've got a couple of stuff here.

2:17I'm going to create a new one though here in the upper right-hand corner.

2:20We'll call this one demo, you can give it the description, but you obviously don't

2:25have to.

2:27You've got basically just a blank canvas here as you can see.

2:31Very similar to like a wireframe, if you've ever done any sort of wireframing

2:34or any sort

2:35of wireframe software, very simple, just kind of putting everything together,

2:38drag and

2:39drop, very, very intuitive, which is one thing that I love about this software.

2:43The very bottom here, you've got the video drive, we're going to go ahead and

2:46open that up and these are all the different videos that I have available to me.

2:50Now, when you want to create a video funnel, one of the most important things

2:54to do is you need to have sort of a roadmap of what you want to take your customer

2:58through, whatever that journey is.

3:00You're going to have a starting video, then you're going to basically tie them

3:04to whatever other videos that you have.

3:06You're going to need to kind of have an idea before you record this, what

3:09direction you want this video to go.

3:11You could create an entire video funnel from creation to upload to wireframing

3:17it out in less than 30 minutes.

3:19The other really cool thing I kind of touched upon in another video is that the

3:23in-bed code within your video will stay the same.

3:26This will allow you to test things if you want.

3:29If you want to test front-end videos, like maybe this would be a good first

3:32part of the video before we take them on the journey.

3:35For some reason, it's just falling short on your website.

3:37You can change that first video out and your in-bed code will stay the same.

3:42If you've already put it on your website and you just are like, "This front-end

3:45isn't working," you can change that out and you don't have to go and upload your in-

3:49bed code and change everything out on your website.

3:51It makes it really, really simple to swap out videos within your video funnel.

Creating and Connecting Interactive Video Sequences

3:57With that said, I'm going to go ahead and start creating our first video funnel .

4:01We'll just take this again from the perspective of a real estate agent.

4:04Let's just say I have somebody coming in and I want to know whether or not they

4:08're a buyer or a seller.

4:10We'll just use that simple.

4:12I created this video here where I'm introducing, we'll just tell everybody to

4:16say for this example, "I'm introducing, "Hey, my name is Justin Smith.

4:20I'm a real estate agent here.

4:22Really got an exciting market.

4:24If you're interested in buying, click this button.

4:29If you're interested in selling, click this button."

4:31Let's just say that's the original script and obviously, if you're much better

4:34than that, I'd probably write that out, but for that, that's the first video.

4:37Let's just say this video of me being interviewed here is, is me saying, "I'm

4:43the seller."

4:45Let's say that this video here, when I was in Hawaii, my old Lahaina Lueau,

4:50great time.

4:53Let's just say that was my buyer.

4:55I've got my first video, I've got my seller video, and I've got my old Lahaina

5:00buyer video.

5:02Now we're going to go ahead and click into this first video here.

5:05You don't even have to connect them yet because we're actually going to connect

5:07it in the video, so you're going to see how I do that.

5:10You're going to click this edit video right here, and that's going to pull up

5:13the first

5:13video, and it's going to give you access to your interactive video elements.

5:18We're going to go ahead and click over here on the side to interactions.

5:21Let's just say I'm talking, I'm talking, and let's just say at 15 seconds, I

5:25know that's where I want to drop my seller button.

5:28I'm going to go over here to button, and I'm going to go ahead and just drag it

5:31right in and drop it right in.

5:32I showed you how to do this earlier, and then we're going to drag this button

5:36down here.

5:39And we'll change this over to seller, and again, I'm not going to get too fancy with

5:44it.

5:45I will round the edges just because I like the round edges personally.

5:46It's out of order.

5:47Why not?

5:48Let's have some fun with it.

5:49There we go.

5:50Now it's popping.

5:51All right, and then on the other side, let's just say I asked seller, and then

5:55five seconds later, I mentioned if you're a buyer, I can do business with you, okay?

6:00So we're going to go ahead and drag this in as well.

6:03That's going to be our second button.

6:04We'll pull this over here, I'm going to round the edges, because why not?

6:09We're going to add a border, because I kind of like that.

6:13There we go.

6:14And now we'll say this one here is a buyer, okay?

6:18So now we've got our two buttons, okay?

6:21So we've got a seller, we've got a buyer, all right?

6:23Now clicking on the seller button here, over here, on the action, we're going

6:28to go and click where it says do nothing, and it's going to say play another video.

6:32So there we go.

6:33So play another video for our seller, right?

6:35Now it's going to drop down here.

6:37This is the video you get to select.

6:39And I'm going to select the Justin interview, because that's what we designated

6:42as our seller video, and I'm just going to do the same thing for the buyer.

6:45I'm going to go over here, I'm going to play another video, and we're going to

6:48drop it down.

6:49It's going to be the old behind a luau, and we're going to play that, all right ?

6:52So now these buttons become active.

6:54They become live, you're able to click then, they're clickable, all right?

6:58And we'll go ahead and play through.

7:00I can just kind of show you what it looks like when it pops up.

7:03It's going to have a seller come up, seller, then it's going to have a buyer

7:06come up here.

7:07Boom, all right.

7:08We're in business.

7:09All right.

7:10So let's go ahead and save that.

7:11All right, and that video is good to go, all right?

Lead Capture and Data Analytics

7:14So now let's just say on this video, at the very end, you're like, listen, if you're

7:18interested in working with me, give me your email and phone number, right?

7:26So let's go back out here.

7:27I would say, let's do this on both of these back ends.

7:31I'll do it on just one, so I don't bore you guys.

7:33But let's just say after the seller comes in, they watch your video, they're

7:36like, wow, I really love what you said in this video.

7:39I want to get your report that you said that you have.

7:41You do a weekly email, I want to get on your email newsletter, all right?

7:45We're going to show you here real quick, at the very end, we'll go to the very

7:49end of

7:50this video, and we can drop, let's say right there, we're going to drop the old

7:55turn style right here.

7:57Boom, there it goes.

7:59So now at the very end of your video, you can go through all the stuff that you

8:01're doing.

8:02You know, hey, this is what we offer, this is what the, if you're, this was a

8:06seller, right?

8:08If you're a seller, you know, this is what the market's looking like right now.

8:10This is a great time to sell.

8:11This is what the neighborhood comms are.

8:13If you want to get my comprehensive report, give me your email.

8:15And name, and I'll send that right over to you, boom, okay?

8:19And now you can capture their email right in the video.

8:22All this is right in the video player, which is really, really cool.

8:25They're not sending them to different places, they're not getting distracted.

8:28It's not like, hey, click this button and then video loads and then new videos load

8:31on the side that are, that are there to distract you.

8:34It just stays right in the video and then it'll capture the video directly.

8:38Now I have another video talking about where these leads go.

8:41So I'm just going to show you though, really quick.

8:43If you go to analytics, all right, we'll save that real quick.

8:47Just so you know where your leads are, it's under collected emails right here.

8:50So you go to analytics and collected emails.

8:52And when somebody opts into your email, this is where it's going to store their

8:56information.

8:57It's going to be their first or last name.

8:58It's going to give you the browser they use.

9:00It's going to tell you what video they were clicking through from.

9:03And then you can export it as a CSV, which you can upload then into any sort of auto

9:08responder.

9:09You know, when I was working in real estate, my CRM, you can upload CSV into

9:13everything.

9:14Any CRM that you have is going to allow you to upload CSV files, or you can

9:19connect on

9:20the back end using the integration, I should say, on the back end, you can just

9:25send it right over.

9:26So they connect it with like MailChimp, they opt in, it'll shoot it right over

9:30to your MailChimp

9:30account seamlessly and it adds it automatically into your MailChimp account.

9:35So that's just the interactive funnel feature email collections right there.

Advanced Funnel Customization and Use Cases

9:40So let's go back over to the videos over here, we'll go back into our demo

9:44right here.

9:45And as you can see, the wireframe now has pulled together and kind of shot

9:49everything off here within this and you can kind of move this over if you want.

9:53And if you want, you know, on the back end, let's say, you know, let's say

9:56somebody, let's

9:57say you obviously they got the seller, you're trying to capture the email,

10:00maybe the buyer, you want to show them a list, a listing you have, right?

10:04So my buddy Ryan actually does real estate videos, so I'm going to use one of

10:09his videos here.

10:10I'm sure he would be fine with that, he gave them to me, so I would hope so, right?

10:14So we'll go down here, we can click in here and let's just say you're doing

10:17this video

10:18like, hey, you know, like, great, great market right now, here's what's going

10:21on in the market,

10:22blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

10:23blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, if

10:24you're looking to buy, here's what's going down and you can go ahead and then

10:28drop an

10:29interactive button and you can go do this here, you can do a button, you could

10:35do a picture

10:36or two if you wanted to, I'm just doing this just on the fly here to kind of

10:39show you guys to remove this over here.

10:41And the other thing too is watch is you do this, it'll snap right into place

10:44here, if

10:44you do it, it'll hit you right there, so it'll pop right where you want it to

10:48go, and then

10:49we drop down here and you can be like, check out, you know, my listing or

10:56whatever, right?

10:58And again, you know, I'm not making it look pretty here, I'm just trying to do

11:00this for the video.

11:02And then when you click this video, it can go now to play another video and it

11:05can go to your listing video.

11:09So that's just giving you an idea just really quick on how you can kind of tie

11:12some videos

11:13together, how you can generate leads using this, this is really good as well if

11:17you want

11:17to add in some sort of promotional video, you can also do like a pre-roll if

11:23you want,

11:24like let's say you have a video but you want to, you have an event coming up or

11:27you have

11:28something that you want to kind of just quickly do like a quick little pre-roll

11:32, you can have

11:32that running at the very beginning and then you can add in like a skip button

11:36at the very

11:36bottom so that it can skip and go to your right over to your video, just have

11:40it play the next video obviously.

11:42There's a ton of different things that you can do to utilize this, tons of

11:45different ways

11:46to generate leads and it really is a powerful video tool that is really a game

11:51changer in the toolbox.

11:52If you drive people directly to your page, you'll have full interactive ability

11:58, sorry about that, full interactive ability and you'll be able to really generate

12:04leads directly from that page.

12:05You don't even need a website, you can just send them straight to that page

12:08with the interactive

12:09video elements, doing the interactive funnels and it really does become an

12:14incredibly powerful tool.

12:17So that's it, that's pretty much the basics of it.

12:21If you want me to go more in depth, just let me know, email us, let us know,

12:24join our group

12:25and we can go into more depth but this is really the bread and butter of this

12:29software.

12:30Really cool, really powerful and hopefully you get some great value and

12:34generate some amazing leads with this.

12:35All right, we'll see you on the next video.
