I’ve had to make a few alterations to the site recently, including sorting out the account types once and for all!
To explain; we’ve always wanted BooYippee to be for people who appreciate talent as well as those people who have a talent, in other words we wanted it to accomodate people like me. Talentless.
The sign-up procedure has now been altered quite considerably, and as a result is much more straightforward now. New members are now asked to specify which account type they would like, which can be one of the following:
1. The Audience
2. Promoter
3. Talented
The Audience
Members with this account type will not be permitted to upload content to the main site, but they can make use of all the other features that BooYippee provides including building up a network of friends to share favourites with and subscribing to our talented members to keep up to date with their contributions.
Although members of the Audience are not permitted to upload to the main site, we will soon be adding a feature that will facilitate ‘private’ uploads.
Promoter
We know that there are many people out there that don’t necessarily have a talent, but they know how to find out and are itching to share it with everyone. Members with an account type of ‘Promoter’ have the ability to upload to the main site, however it is (or will) be made clear that it’s someone else in the video or audio.
This is a great account type to use if you are involved with a talent group (such as a club) and you want to promote your acts. More on this in the future, but we know you wanted it, so here it is. Promoters are required to have permission to upload someone elses talent.
Talent
Last but by no means least, the ‘talent’ account. Upon sign up talented new members can specify the area of their expertise, and for those of you who are multi-talented, fear not! There is a place in the profile screen where you can specify other talents that you have. This account has no restrictions, however it is quite important that our talented members upload only their own talent.
Coming Soon……..
In the very near future we will be including the ability to upload member page content. Such uploads will not appear in search results, but will appear on your member page which is perfect if you want to upload a profile video for your visitors to see. This facility will be available to all members regardless of their account type.
That’s about it for now, there are loads of exciting changes coming in the next few months, including the talent lounge. Thanks for reading….
Mart.
