This is an important note for clients. We've updated the 'Formly' module on your website and in Yabber. We're migrating all foms manually over the next couple of days, so you might experience some minor disruptions. This major update coincides with the new Trigger and Email Marketing features, but the first step is migrating your forms.There are a large number of stylistic and functional changes in Formly, but it's the backend where you'll see the majority of updates. When building a form (now a 10-second process), you may use recycled components, such as calendar options, images, or redirect profiles. The number of changes and new features is seriously significant. We've built an alternate booking calendar in the style of Calendly (for your website appointment page), but our option is obviously far more refined with a ton of automation. More information to follow. We'll update our FAQs/BeLearn with information and videos later this week.Why? Apart from the fact new forms were required for the property module (and property modals), the new forms are completely error-resistant in that they can't be broken by configuration errors. All other forms will be integrated with the new Formly framework, such as Fact Find, Venus, Referrals, and others, and these changes will be progressively introduced over the next couple of weeks Remember, every page on your website is a potential organic entry point, so every page is a type of landing page that requires a calendar-integrated form (made easy, of course, via our one-click form assignments). The form should then conditionally redirect to that ridiculously important second page. It's such a basic high-converting concept that most businesses ignore - just crazy.Your competitors don't have a chance.

The single most significant change we've introduced to our website framework in the last few years is the inclusion of full-featured Property Listings. The module will make its way out of a lengthy Beta sometime soon and find its way into our standard website and Elementor plugins. The Property module is significant and unique in that the effectiveness of the rendered widgets are supported by around 30 of our own APIs retuning data of various types. It's *very* cool. As part of this API architecture we required the inclusion of address and spatial property data, and most of this information (around 16-million pages) was all built directly into your website.The 'Streets' module shapes itself into a property matrix that has ridiculous value when the pages are leveraged as intended. The problem is that the module is not quite ready for a true production environment. To avoid having the same conversation over and over, we've updated our website with a short introduction. In short, the pages are designed to render a page that will return an option to deliver a property report (based on data obtained via third-party sources), and it gives us scope to return property listings, analytics, historical data, and other information relevant to the address. When you understand how and why the module will be developed, the early naked framework will make a little more sense.https://www.beliefmedia.com.au/website-streets-module

Berger & Sons Paint Works, Rhodes, Sydney, 2nd August 1937.Operating since 1916, Berger was (and still is) a popular local brand (who can forget "keeps on keeping on"). In 1923 Berger Paints contributed 22,7125 litres of paint to the construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge to protect the bridge steelwork, so they're an important part of Sydney's history. Rhodes had been part of Sydney's industrial heartland since the 1900s when it was purchased for chemical manufacturing by CSR in 1930. The following 60 years saw Allied Feeds, Berger Paints and Union Carbide operate major industrial plants in the area. As a result, the 20 hectare Rhodes Peninsula became heavily contaminated with some of the most toxic man-made chemicals on the planet, including Agent Orange.The area was developed into Rhodes Waterside by Walker Corp and is now the home to thousands of properties, commercial premises', and a shopping centre.The side-by-side comparison photo shows the broader Rhodes area in 1930 (top) and 1972 (bottom).

Australia’s first stock exchange, located at Collins Street, looking east from Queens Street, Melbourne, 1883.In the 18 October 1852 issue of the 'Argus', Edward Khull listed 14 companies in which investors could buy shares. This was the first stock listing in Australia and led to the formation of the Melbourne Brokers Association, which traded from rented space in the Hall of Commerce on Collins Street from 1859. It was Australia's first stock exchange.From The 'Argus' publication in November 1856: "It has been the subject of constant and increasing complaint that while there are recognised marts and markets for every kind of produce, imported and otherwise, there is none for a larger and more important item in the wealth of the colony … there is no recognised Stock and Share Exchange, where quotations of stocks and shares could be made to show a real market value".The Stock Exchange of Melbourne grew out of and flourished in the economically tumultuous 1870s and 1880s when a huge influx of British capital flooded into 'Marvellous Melbourne'. It codified the behaviour of brokers, company listing requirements and trading processes. These practices remained unchanged for almost a century.The market contracted during the 1890s depression but grew again with the incredible success of mining in Broken Hill. This pattern of boom and bust drove the stock exchange through the first half of the 20th century but the stock market grew exponentially with the steady growth and diversification of the Australian economy after the Second World War.In 1987 the Melbourne Stock Exchange was absorbed into the new national trading body, the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX).

We uploaded videos to a client YouTube channel yesterday, and with a single block of just four hours with us the channel is now full of content and looks fantastic. We'll chop up the primary video to create a further 100 snippets or so that will eventually find their way onto social channels.Having video on a YouTube channel is obviously essential, but it's their use on your website and within your funnels where they'll deliver your business with results. Yabber is connected to YouTube, so after your videos are ingested they are optionally assigned to each and every page of your website with a simple point-and-click interface, with additional placements on your front entry page. Further, each video is sent to a dedicated video library with its own archive page (this feature gives you full control over your content and effectively creates your own self-hosted video library).Most website guys will give you a pedestrian website destined for a life filled with static mediocrity. Our broker website has over 600 dynamic features that includes around 30 big-ticket video tools (two of which are pictured). There are some 'web guys' that claim their websites convert (you've heard their pitch 100X before), but none come close to providing the array of dynamic conversion-focused features made available in our framework. When these jokers say their websites convert, we genuinely don't know what they're talking about.The opposite of extraordinary is what everybody else is doing. Simply because it's a great way of engaging with our broker clients, we'll be giving away a full session of video with the few discounted website spots we have left (we also try and record a couple of ads for use in paid promotion). You'll generally walk away with a library of around 25-30 evergreen videos. Call me on 0400 777 300.

Note to clients. We've updated the authentication system on your website as a result of some partner discussions last week (that moved the goalposts in a very beneficial direction). Yabber manages multiple groups of contacts, such as clients, partners, introducers, referrers, property groups, and so on, and the new system will update session permissions based on user groups and sub-groups. This update also allows for more effective online courses (the education module will be modified in the next plugin release to cater a new style of course content)We avoided using the default WordPress authentication because of inherit flaws, so our system is more effective for our use case. Login forms may be rendered as forms and popup modals, and content on your website may now be hidden 'inline' requiring a user to authenticate before 'member' content is returned. It's a great system that gives you far more flexibility with your online ambitions.We've also built an Elementor Widget to render the login form or login buttons/text. Pictured is a basic popup modal login on a demo website. More details to follow.
The former Chiltern of the Bank of Australasia was designed by Anketell Matthew Henderson of Reed & Barnes Architects and constructed in 1877. The building was a fully operational branch of the Bank of Australasia until 1943 when it closed and became a private residence. The Bank building has also been an Italian Restaurant, the Mulberry Tree Tearooms/B&B and The Old Chiltern Bank Teahouse, before reverting back to a private residence in 2018.Chiltern is a town in Victoria, Australia, in the northeast of the state between Wangaratta and Wodonga.Picture of Chiltern taken around 1880 with the old bank the last large building on the left. The colour photograph shows the 'Mulberry Tree' Bed & Breakfast (source: Google), still branding the 'Bank of Australasia' markings.
Meeting with Terry and Dan from nMB. Always a pleasure hangimg out with these guys. You have to look very hard for people that are more dedicated to their brokers.
This is a note for clients. We've added a ton of features to the website framework over the last few weeks - pictured is just a few of them. Far from exhaustive, the most recent update includes an autocomplete address form that immediately redirects to a full property page, the same for an emergency search engine, and a post-type based autocomplete website search form.A large number of the updates further supports the property architecture, while others are used to support paid promotion or simply set the funnel on fire Seriously, your competitors don't have a chance.

I spent just four hours with a WA broker yesterday, and he shot what might be a record 30+ videos in that short time. Take after take was fluent, inspired, and without error - it was seriously impressive.I'm very clear with business owners - the video we shoot won't have much of an impact on anything unless we do something with it, and it's the raw everyday guff that'll create more nested funnel engagement. However, every business *needs* a library of evergreen cornerstone content in order to support about every digital and offline program they might have in place.Is you're doing this sort of thing yourself, please get out of the studio or office and make your location a character in your story. If you're shooting something in Construction Finance, find an early build, and if you're taking about First Home Buyers, shoot from an elevated position in one of those locations that they'll likely recognise. Don't worry about making small errors in your patter as your goal is to demonstrate your expertise and authoritativeness, and the naked unrehearsed nature of these videos will resonates with your audience in ways that rehearsed studio videos cannot and will not do.I still have two websites spots and I'm surprised they're still available. If you're in Sydney I'll throw in a session of video, and the product comes with a couple of turnkey advertising campaigns. It's a no-brainer.

During the week I spent a large part of every day running programs for a client in Edmondson Park. The area where I worked is close to the local YBR office, and you'll note from the photo that the office has a fantastic location directly opposite the railway station. It's street-level locations with tons of 'static' and foot traffic (like this one) that led us to develop the 'TV Wall'. Yabber's 'Wall' tool basically plays social media posts as a sideshow, but these guys would be nuts if they didnt invest in a cheap 100" TV and play crafted targeted videos to the hundreds of people that transit the railway station directly opposite, and the hundreds that sit on the bus stop benches, also directly opposite.The Edmondson crowd is one that many work hard at targeting through paid promotion, yet this is the very crowd that passes by this office every single day. I've seen brokerages triple their volume overnight with the sub 2k TV investment. Invest a little more and a second screen can be used to cycle through contact information and display a QR code.Hopefully this post reaches the operator. As a side note, I worked with one of my local brokers handing out flyers for his 'FHB & Investor' event (literally 20m from the YBR office), and earlier today he filled up the last of the 130 spots. Total cost $127. He'll close 10% of those that attend. You don't make friends with salad.

Note to clients. On the back on the Streets API, and as another necessary measure before we introduce the Property Module and website widgets, we've added a single search form on your website that'll search a single Aussie address and then immediately redirect you to a dedicated page with a ton of data specific to that location.The point of this functionality isn't just to add 16-or-so million pages to your website. It can be used to refine and filter property widgets, serve value magnets, and deliver property or broader property reports - all of which is managed in Yabber. The Core Logic style of property data is forthcoming. We've packaged a large amount of this information into the next release of the partner plugin, meaning that you'll significantly elevate the value of your offer by way of tech your partners won't find elsewhere.There's a ton of information we'll share through our FAQ module over the next week or so because the scope of all the new features is seriously significant.We've tested this 'minor' feature over the last couple of weeks with tremendous results. The number of websites users that'll search their own home simply because they can is staggering... it's then up to us to do something with that engagement.We still have a couple of website spots left. Call me on 0400 777 300.
