Channel:
Create a Channel for your radio show to establish a social hub for your show’s community. This makes it easy to engage with your crowd, increasing connection, engagement, awareness, and downloads/listens. Add Channel information including whatever you would like with endless customization through our Rich-Text/HTML editor or by embedding webpages for the Channel and merchandise or ticketing. Add up to five Co-Hosts if necessary, to provide equal access to the Channel. From here, Crowd Members can search for and follow your Channel.

Events:
Create Events for every episode to enable engagement surrounding the episode, provide robust information, and spread awareness. By doing so you create a social environment and allow your Crowd to stay on top of every episode.

Each Event can be scheduled beforehand, during a live recording, or after the episode has been released and has information including an image, location, date and time, and description. You can enable Event Engagement in several different forms. Events can be made private with a defined pin so only a select group can participate.

Each Event can have additional information including whatever you would like with endless customization through our Rich-Text/HTML editor or by embedding webpages for the episode and merchandise/ticketing. This opens avenues to allow your Crowd to download or listen/watch your show directly in the platform, purchase merchandise or tickets increasing sales, spotlight sponsors or resources, and much more. Event info can also be reposted to the feed as a feed announcement. This provides notice regarding the Event to your Crowd and allows them to also repost the feed announcement increasing the level of visibility.

Hosts can record video to Dropbox, broadcast a livestream on YouTube, or embed recorded video within any Event. Crowd Members can view the embedded video/livestream from the list of questions or posts as they engage.

Include guests on the show in the Event. Including them spreads awareness to their followers and enables them to be asked questions or tagged in posts organized within their own dedicated list. If the Guest already has a CrowdUltra Host Account linked to the email address entered, they will be invited to accept the Event from their own list of Events. If they do not have an account, they will be sent an email with a link and login pin to engage.

If listeners have yet to join CrowdUltra, they can join to engage in seconds using our Quick Join feature. A Quick Join Link and ID are provided for every Event that can be shared and used to sign up with. Members of the Crowd can also see who they follow that is also listening, to connect with them regarding the show.

Channel/Event Chat:
Every Channel and Event has a chat for all crowd members, Host(s), and speaker(s)/guest(s) to text message one another. Channel/Event chats enable organized communication centered around the specific Channel or Event, strengthening connection and increasing engagement while never getting in the way of Event or daily Feed engagement. Crowd members can also create their own personal group chats with other crowd members for every Channel and Event, allowing for personalized chatting among friends surrounding the Channel or Event.

Event Call-Ins / Meet & Greets:
Participate in Call-Ins or Meet & Greets with your Crowd.

Allow your Crowd to join an ordered queue or submit their conversation topic for you to pre-screen. Engage with one or more members of your Crowd through audio or video chat.

Once the conversation is over, remove them from the chat and automatically be linked with the next Crowd member in the queue or select the next interesting topic.

The audio or video chat can also be recorded to Dropbox or recorded and livestream broadcast to YouTube.

Event Q&A:
Q&A is proven to be one of the best ways to engage with your Crowd in a way that strengthens connection with them. While radio shows often use phone lines, email, and social media platforms like Twitter for Q&A, they are all limited in comparison to CrowdUltra.

Questions are displayed in an ordered list from highest to lowest rank based on Crowd voting to assist in showing you what the Crowd has the most curiosity about. This saves time along with providing a more organized and engaging environment for Q&A.

Questions can be asked before, during, after, or some combination of the three depending on your preference. This allows you to tailor your Q&A experience to what works best for your show. You can field questions in advance to answer on an upcoming show, field questions to answer in real time while recording your show, or field questions pertaining to the show after it has been released.

Questions can be enabled to be asked in audio, video, and written format. Hosts may also allow questions to be asked anonymously. Listeners can ask questions in general as well as to a specific Host or Guest. Questions can be answered in audio, video, or written format and marked as answered if they were answered outside of the platform verbally on the podcast.

Event Posts:
Allow the Crowd to easily post, share, and connect surrounding the episode. Our platform provides an engaging environment that sparks interaction email, DMs, and other outlets lack. By creating an organized environment for your whole Crowd to engage, you increase the effectiveness of social engagement and connection surrounding the episode.

Enable Event Posts before, during, after, or some combination of the three. Each Crowd participant can publish Event Posts free. Hosts can allow the Crowd to post audio, video, images, links, YouTube/Vimeo videos, or written Posts. Posts can be published in anonymous format if allowed by the Host. This augments the experience allowing the Crowd to share their experience and interesting things, be creative, have fun, as well as inform and help others.

Event posts are displayed in an ordered list from highest to lowest rank based on Crowd voting. Every post can be responded to by Hosts and Guests. They can respond with audio, video, images, links, YouTube/Vimeo videos, or in written format. Posts can also be highlighted to spotlight to the Crowd as a whole, or dismissed and removed from the list.
