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.
Ticketing:
Create and sell tickets for any Channel or Event. Sell Virtual/PPV tickets, up to five in-person ticket options, or both for Hybrid
Events. Our easy to use ticketing system offers flexibility and control to be perfectly tailored for any ticketed occasion. Sell
multiple ticket types such as day one and day two tickets or a VIP ticket. Determine the total ticket quantity available and how many
tickets can be purchased per person for in-person tickets.
Monitor ticket sales in real time through our robust reporting system. See what is delivering the most results and other actionable
insights to sell more tickets. Tickets are automatically marketed to your followers through our platform and via our search/discovery
functionality. They can also be easily marketed and shared anywhere else. We SEO optimize all Events and tickets to ensure the most
views, clicks, and conversions.
Our ticket scanner is the most accessible and easiest to use. The scanner is available on any device including phones, tablets, computers,
and scanning hardware. Tickets are accessible through our app along with being downloadable, shareable, and printable via email.
Our ticketing is developed with industry leading security standards to ensure ticket sellers and buyers are as safe as possible. All
purchasing and payout financial information is secured via Braintree and PayPal third-party services. We never store any sensitive
financial information.
Additional Features:
We provide many other additional features, including sending emails to all followers and exporting follower information. Hosts can send email announcements
to all followers of a specific Channel or Event, allowing Hosts to easily reach out to all their followers in mass. Hosts can also export information about
their followers including their name and email, so they can reach out beyond the platform.
Profile:
Create a profile to showcase who you are with the most customizable profile experience any social platform has ever offered.
Profiles can be created with endless possibilities using our Rich-Text/HTML Editor with embeddable integrations or by embedding a webpage. All
Crowd Members can view and interact with the profile.
Daily Feed:
The daily feed is designed to enhance engagement by enabling you to communicate in a powerful way and extend awareness. Unlike other social platforms, we give
you access to 100% of your following instead of <1-10%. We do not advertise on
our feed or have algorithms manipulating viewership and effectiveness.
Q&A sparks conversation and encourages the conversation to continue. Ask daily questions to your Crowd in audio, video, or written format. Answer questions from
members of your Crowd in audio, video, or written format.
Send daily announcements to keep Crowd members in the loop and share content using our Rich-Text/HTML
editor with countless embeddable integrations. Your announcements can be reposted by members of your Crowd to everyone following them, spreading organic awareness
in a way that will increase your following.
