I want to talk about a GREAT feature that is bearly mentioned on WA. I could not find a single post on this feature and I sure hope Kyle or Carson or any member on Wealthy Affiliate can address this. This great feature is Push Notifications. What does it do? Think Push Notifications as Newsletter but more ADVANCED! Push Notifications works on Chrome,FireFox,Safari,IOS and Android.

Push Notifications ask the user on your site if they want to get Browser or Mobile Notifications for whenever you publish a new post! push notification's will lower your bounce rate and is better than newsletter. Why? Because not everyone below the age of 21 goes on their E-mail! Everone uses ther phone nowadays and how great would it be if someone saw a notification for your new post on their phone!

I believe everyone should get Push Notifications for their site. It is a great feature and it very east to do. I use One Signal Push Notifications Plugin. It takes a while to install but they guide you through it and they take care of everything after set up is complete! It is a great plugin and push notifications are great and they should get some light in the WA community!

Do we currently now have a "Push Notification or push subscribe" training?

Maybe it does have something to do with the difference between http:// and https://.

That would mean some work for a bright programming technician☺☺☺

Thanks, MoussaKhan!

Do you think you could do a training on installing it properly?

I know some are having problems.....

I am thinking of doing a video training.Do you think I should?

1

Absolutely!

Can anybody write a tutorial about this tool? I am very interested to start it. I have no smart phone so it would be great to hear hpw it is started in computers.

I've started doing this on one of my sites and have one subscriber so far.

1

Marcus, can you make a training for idiots? I shall be in the first row in the audience.

1

https://onesignal.com has its own extremely good instructions showing you how to set it all up.

2

OK, I shall be reading this soon.

Marcus I signed up and do not see any instructions. Only what I see is "Add a new app". I have no idea what app is. I expected to see some instructions first, to understand what I am doing. I think a tutorial for idiots would be necessary.

The instructions are inside the WordPress plugin once you install that:

Thank you.

So how was I supposed to know that there was some plugin in game? It was nowhere mentioned. This is why we need a training. It is easy when you know how.

The plugin was mention in this post at the top. I started from the exact same point as you did. I came to this post not know what to do, read there was a plugin, so I instaled the plugin, and everything went from there.

Only now I noticed the word plugin, so OK you are right.

But in any case, remember, I was speaking about idiots.

Marcus, I did try, no way I am able to do this. End of the road for me.

I've been having problems too. It doesn't seem to be posting the messages properly.

What exactly is wrong?

2

I get a 0 error when it tries to automatically send a notification for my latest blog post. I managed to send one manually. Then I sent a test message just to myself but never received it.

Marcus, can you tell me what the purpose of icon is. I am stuck at this point, do not know what kind of image is needed, where it is supposed to appear on the screen of visitors. It says it must be https url but our sites are http. This is the most annoying thing I have ever tried to install.

It's supposed to display your site logo. Take a look at these images and it will tell you where they are used and how your visitors see them in visitors http://comicbookheroesnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/SIGNAL-1.png

I think I should do a video tutorial. But, Im not sure if people want to hear a teens cracky vioce!

1

You said you did not have right yet for tutorials? Perhaps add more details in the other blog, I asked questions there, do not know how to proceed at the end of step 2 and the beginning of step 3. It is not clear.

It will be on Youtube and I will link it.

2

OK this should work. Bear in mind what I asked in the blog, those steps are not clear. I assume I am just an average user.

Well, it's my first-time doing a training

2

No problem with that, my friend!

Yes, do a tutorial and put it on YouTube :-)

2

Can you send me the training?

Thanks for posting this I was wondering how to do this myself and now I know

Many thanks

Barry

Free tool?

Does it still send emails?

1

Yes, totally free.

No, it doesn't send emails. It creates little popup notifications in people's browsers when you post new content.

1

So would you suggest having this plus something else for emails?

I myself am still in the century without smartphones, but I can understand the tool is useful for majority who are already in 21st century.

Yes, but I am still experimenting with push notifications, so I'm not an expert on it yet.

I don't have a smart phone either, and I am going to try to stay without one for as long as I can. I don't even have a tablet, despite having a site about tablets.

1

Thank you, this is something I shall bear in mind and try.

Same here, no smartphone, no tablets, and no tent-cots which I promote in my micro-site. A lot in common Marcus.

1

I really hate how smartphones have turned everyone into zombies who walk everywhere while looking down at their little devices. I spend enough time online when I'm on my computer. When I'm away from it, I like to completely get away from it all.

1

I was just thinking about this becaue I had recently seen it on several websites. I think you might be really onto something here. I will take a look at that plugin.

That's very interesting. I'll look into that. Thanks

I will definitely look into adding it to my websites. Thanks, Moussa :)
