 Why is Cartra better than the competitors? This is part two of two. Hey guys, I just did a video, part one on Cartra, and if you haven't watched it, I suggest you go back and watch that. They don't necessarily have to be watched in order, but the first video does give you more oversight into what Cartra is if you don't know what Cartra is. This is an all-in-one platform. And in this video, I'm gonna show you some stuff that will blow your mind. Really good stuff that you could use Cartra for and improve your income and save you a ton of time, right? That's what we want, and we're starting right now. Hey, I'm JR Fisher. I've been selling online since 2009. I've sold millions of dollars of both digital and physical products. And on this channel, which is actually your channel, not my channel, I'm just here to give you the information, you're here to learn. And as you learn on this channel, you may have questions. Put those questions below. If there's subjects you want me to cover, if there's something you like or you don't like, let me hear it below. I'm all in to help you and I wanna see you make more money. Also, don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss out on anything. And turn on bell notifications. There's a bell that'll pop up once you subscribe. That's only available to those people who subscribe. And once you subscribe, you wanna turn on all bell notifications so you become part of the Fisher family and I can notify you every single time I do one of these videos. That way you won't miss out. Now, I've heard people say that Cartra is not for people who sell products. I sell products on Cartra every day. I mean, I sell products on Cartra. So it may not be as intuitive for products. You may need a website if you've got a whole bunch of different skews and different sizes and all this kind of stuff. You can do it in Cartra, but I get it when they say, maybe not as much physical products. And that's what I'm talking about, physical products. But I also wanna cover some of the things that works really well on like consulting. If you're doing consulting, you need to get Cartra. If you're doing coaching, you need to get Cartra. You can actually set up schedules in Cartra and schedule your coaching in there. If you're doing eBooks, oh my God, it's awesome for eBooks. It can deliver those eBooks to your customers as soon as they buy them. It can do upsells, all kinds of stuff. If you've got courses, I know I've got several courses in Cartra. They all make me a lot of money. I love it. If you've got any kind of services, maybe you provide services. Maybe you're an attorney, maybe you're a counselor, maybe you, I don't know. Whatever your service is, there's a lot of services out there. Cartra's got it there for you. So I wanna get into some of that in this particular video. A little different than the first video where I went through just the basics. This one here gets a little bit more in depth. So let's get going. Let's check this stuff out. Now, I briefly mentioned the membership in the first video, but I wanna get into a little bit more in depth into the memberships inside Cartra. The cool thing is, in Cartra, you can see the progress of your members and the members can see their progress too. And the other thing you can also do is you can assign a completion badge. Completion badges are really important because with a completion badge, the person feels like they're getting more information and they're accomplishing something. That accomplishment is what's gonna motivate people to keep moving forward. It's kind of like you go to the gym and you get on the scale every day and you weigh the same and all of a sudden one day you weigh 10 pounds less, you're gonna say, well, the gym works. I like the gym. Same thing with your courses. If they get that completion badge and they see that they've completed something, it's going to motivate them to move forward. Now, the next thing I wanna talk about is Cartra video hosting. I don't know of another platform that allows you to do this. You don't need Wistia. You don't need YouTube. You don't need Vimeo. You don't need any of these places anymore because Cartra will allow you to put your videos inside their platform. Now I know in the beginning, they had data limitations. So if you put your videos in there, you're starting to use up your data and if you went over, you were gonna get charged. So a lot of people say, well, I'm not doing that. I'm not gonna put my videos in there because it's gonna cost me more. I put all my videos in there. I just did. And the reason I did that is because I felt like overall it's gonna benefit me. I can look at the analytics of it. I have all my stuff in one place. I didn't wanna have to put other links to other places so I stuck it in there. And now here's the great part. They did away with any data overages. So you don't have to pay if you go over now. So I guess it was kind of smart for me because I initially put them all in there. Had I have not, I would have had to go back now and start putting all those videos in. But we don't have to do that because we did it in the beginning. So that's the cool thing. Now the cool thing about having them hosted in there is you can see the results. You can't do that if you've got a YouTube link. You don't know when they left your YouTube video or when they left your Vimeo video inside of your particular course. So this way I can look at that and I can see what's working and what's not working. And I can also send out automations based on their activity. Now here's a little screenshot here. It's the state of the art video engine. And you can see it has advanced tagging, lead capture, mobile, optimized, detailed analytics. You can actually embed your videos directly into Cartra and also have all the interesting features in here. So you could add call to actions in here. You could easily organize your Cartra videos into folders. You could see what videos were watched by your customers. You could get detailed analytics on how people interacted with your videos. So all of that is really pretty darn cool. Now the next thing I really like, I didn't have this before Cartra and the only reason I have it now is because it came with Cartra is a help desk. Help desk are great guys. What a help desk is basically is maybe a little pop up on the side and says, do you have a question? People can type in what their question is and you can stay there and watch it all day long. I don't do that. We let them know that they'll be answered in 24 hours. And then what happens is that question actually gets sent to my Cartra account. I get a notification via email that I have a help desk ticket. Then I can go into the help desk. I can go in there and answer that person's question. It sends an email out to them and it records all of the activity of that help desk ticket. I can put automated responses in there. If I'm having somebody who is asking a question that many other people ask, I can put an automated response in there. So when I go to that ticket, I can click, get automated response, click, send it out and I'm done with it. This helps so much with your customer service. And like I said, if you wanna do a live chat and you wanna have somebody sit there watching these during the day from nine to five, you can have a live chat and they can chat back and forth with your customers too. Now what I also like about Cartra is it's a complete CRM. So any of these interactions that they have, whether it's through a chat desk, whether it's through an email, whether it's them buying products, you can go into that customer profile and see everything that's happened with that customer, the date it happened, how much money you've made off that customer, the value of the customer, all those things are available to you through the complete Cartra analytics. Now this really blew my mind. They have an affiliate center. It's like a click bank. They've got an affiliate center. So let's say you're selling some of your products and we have canned meats because we do survival food and we have courses and they're selling good, but you wanna make more money. All you have to do is open up those products to affiliates. Affiliates can then go in there, find your products and market them to their customers and then you just pay them a commission. So it actually helps you expand your business. Now I can't possibly touch on all the things it does for affiliates, but you can do things like creating your affiliate signup page, approving your affiliates. You can do that in there. You can have a signup questionnaire. Maybe you have a questionnaire before you allow an affiliate to sell your product. Of course you can configure the landing pages for affiliates so they can get information on your product. You can send them special emails as affiliates about the products that you're selling. You can also set up all your payment options which are automated through Cartra. So I've got mine set up where we don't pay that commission until after 30 days. We make sure it wasn't fraudulent. Somebody didn't steal a credit card, something like that. And there's so much more, but all this is automated for you so you don't have to think about it. Now in addition to that, you've got a form editor in Cartra. So a form for maybe pop-ups, a form for opt-ins, a form for signing up for webinars, whatever it is, you can build all of those in Cartra. In addition to that, they've got a calendar. The calendar is really cool because you can set up a calendar to schedule time with you or a calendar for courses or a calendar for webinars, whatever the heck you want. And you can set all that up in Cartra and it integrates with all your automations, your sequences, all that stuff. Here's a screenshot right here, how to schedule private appointments in classes. And as you can see here, you can put your branding page, your fee paid appointments, your own schedule, notification reminders, holidays, lunch breaks, all that stuff, centralized dashboard. It's all in this calendar in Cartra. I mentioned they have an affiliate area where other people could sell your courses, but had you thought of this, you built a list and maybe you don't have that many products yet, maybe you don't have a lot of courses yet, you could sell other people's. In Cartra, you can go in there and find other courses, other products and market those to the list you currently have. Now they've just added a heat map analytics tool. Oh my God. So you can actually tell what people are doing on your pages and you don't have to pay for a heat map software. That's another software that we were paying for at one time. Now let's talk a little bit about integrations because you do have to integrate, okay? One software is not gonna do everything in the world. So you're gonna have to have some integrations. The main integration is your payments, okay? You've got to get paid for these things. So the cool thing is Cartra's made this really simple. You can use Authorize.net, we have that account. You can use Braintree, you can use Stripe, you can use PayPal, all of these integrate seamlessly with Cartra. If you want to integrate another email provider, I don't know why you'd want to, but if you wanna do that, you could. You can integrate your SendGrid, your PostMark, your MailGun, your Elastic email, whatever it is, you can integrate all these things with Cartra. Seamlessly. Now let's say you have a membership someplace else and you say, JR, I've got membership and I think it's cool to put it in Cartra, but right now I'm too busy and I'd like to use all the other stuff that Cartra has, but I want to integrate my membership already have. You can do it. It's that simple. Whether you have Kajabi, OptimizePress, Wishlist member, A member, Digital Access Pass, S2 member, WP, Fusion, all of those integrate. So don't let that be an obstacle to keep you from using Cartra. You gotta use Cartra. Now maybe you wanna do SMS messaging. You can do that in Cartra too. Maybe you have an outside service like Nexmo or Plivo or Twilo. Any of those will integrate also with Cartra. And I know there's those Zappier users out there. And guess what? You know it, don't you? It integrates with Cartra. Seamlessly, it works great. We actually had some Zappiers, Zaps? Zappiers? Something like that, yeah. We had Zaps in the beginning and we put those in Cartra. We don't really need them anymore for a lot of the things that we've really streamlined. But if you wanna use your Zaps, you can certainly use it in Cartra. Now the last thing, which is really, I guess kinda important, is the pricing. What's the pricing like? The pricing's awesome. I actually saved thousands of dollars by going to Cartra and moving away from click funnels and moving away from Infusionsoft and Aweber and all these other things I had. I moved into Cartra and it saved me money. Now I'll put a chart here on the screen so you can kinda see it. They've got a starter program that is $99 a month. They've got a silver program, which is $199 a month. Now if you notice all the programs above the silver here, you get a bonus Cartra agency included for your charge. What does that mean? That means you can do funnels and things for other companies inside your Cartra account. So you can actually set up an agency and do this for other people. Basically, they are set up to where it's unlimited data and unlimited emails. When was the last time you heard of unlimited emails? I mean, holy heck, they got unlimited emails. The only thing that goes up is when you have more leads and that makes sense because you're using more of the database of Cartra. Now I've got a link below and if you click on it, you can watch all the things that Cartra does. In addition to that, you can get Cartra for a trial of only $1, right? Dollars cheap, okay, so you can get that. Now if you do the yearly plan, you can save a tremendous amount of money. I do the yearly plan, I pay once a year and I save, let's see here, what is it? For the yearly plan, you can save 25%. That's a huge discount off a product that's already priced really well. Now, a few questions I wanna go over before we end this video. People will say, can I build a website in Cartra? And the short answer is yes, because you can use the pages in there to emulate any type of website you want and you can actually direct that URL to Cartra. The next question I get is what does Cartra replace? It replaces so many things. I mean, it did for me. If you're using video hosting like Wistia or YouTube or Vimeo, it'll replace that. If you're using a page builder, Shopping Cart software will replace that. Helpdesk software, if you're using that, it'll replace that. Email service, it will replace that. Automation tools, it will replace that. CRM tool, it will replace that. Membership and course hosting platforms. All wiped out, you can put it all in Cartra. If you have an affiliate center, you can wipe it out and put it in there. If you're paying for heat maps for your website to see what people are doing, it'll wipe that out. Any analytics you're paying for right now, it'll wipe that out. You have it all in your emails. You know what's going on, your pages, your sales, everything. Any tracking tools, it'll wipe that out if you're paying for that. If you're paying for calendars or booking type softwares, it'll wipe that out. It's amazing what it'll do, guys. I also get the question, can I use Cartra with WordPress? The answer is yes. You can build whatever you want in Cartra. You can grab the code from Cartra, put it on your WordPress website. Boom, you're good to go. Is Cartra the cheapest thing that's out there? I think, really, if you figure all the softwares that it wipes out, I would say it is. If you don't have any of these other things, you just have an email provider that may be a little bit more than if you're just using something like MailChimp or something like that. But understand, if you're serious about this and you plan on growing your business, you're gonna need all these things. These tools are not here because nobody needs them. Now, you may not need them today, but why build your website? Why build your business on a platform that you're gonna have to move everything someplace else later? And you won't have the availability of all these other products. You're gonna end up paying more and more and more for other different products. I suggest, number one, if you're starting out online, setting online, start with Cartra. Just start with it. Hands down, start with it. If you are an experienced digital marketer and you have things all over the place, and I've heard people say this over and over again, they're like, oh, I've got too much stuff to move. It's just too much time to move all this stuff. You're wasting time anyhow because you're jumping around all these different places. So I would say slowly invest that time and move all your stuff over to Cartra. It took us six months. We had been in business like eight, nine years at the time, we had a lot of stuff and it took us six months, but guess what, that's over with now. So since that's over with, I'm not jumping to all these sites and I'm saving so much time, guys. And my time is money and guess what, yours is too. The next question I get is, how can I sign up? It sounds great. Well, go down in the description section. I'll put a link down there. In this link, you don't have to give your email, you don't have to give your name or anything. Click on the link and it's gonna play a video for you. It's gonna show you all the things Cartra does. And I'm warning you, don't watch that video unless you wanna switch providers because as soon as you watch that video, you're gonna say, man, I'm out. I have to get Cartra, I have to get it. And the cool thing is, if you use my link down there, it is my affiliate link, but if you use my link, when you use my link, you'll use it. You can actually get Cartra for a trial for $1, for $1. So that's certainly cheap. Okay, so my final thoughts are, why wouldn't you? Number one, why wouldn't you? I know I think the biggest avoidance factors, like I said, where people say, I've got too much stuff to move. If they're brand new, they go, well, I can get this other provider for $30 less or $50 less. That may be true, but you're gonna kick yourself later because you're gonna put all your efforts into a platform that you're gonna have to move later. Or what's worse yet is those other platforms get more and more expensive as you grow your business because they charge for how many emails you send or they charge for how much data you're using in there. So those are gonna ultimately cost you more money. Go with Cartra, go with the best. If you have any questions, put them in the comments section below. Feel free to ask me whatever you want.
