My 7 Best Tips & Tricks for ActiveCampaign

[@maxvcollenburg]

What's your favorite tip? Mine is #7 😄

[@ClintMc1979]

Great stuff as always, thanks so much for what you do! Do you have a video where you go into detail on how you survey on your thank you page (Tip #7). I am assuming this involves putting another form on your thank you page and ensuring site integration is completed, but wanted to ask.

Interest tagging!

Man, you should have 7 million subscribers. Thank you for the clarity with which you share information and add value.

[@maxvcollenburg]

Maybe one day, haha!

[@faigyliebermann4749]

Your videos are super clear. Thank you.

[@maxvcollenburg]

Haha, thanks! Any other videos I should create in the future? 😄

[@faigyliebermann4749]

@@maxvcollenburg I don't know, what I don't know if I don't know it! One thing I do know, they are all very clear and super easy to understand. That is the sign of an expert :)

It's nice! Conditional content is very useful. So tip 7 is the best!

[@maxvcollenburg]

Yes, conditional content is awesome! 😄

[@AhmetKaan]

Loved it my friend. You are creating amazing videos with amazing content. Thanks for sharing, keep up your amazing work! Nearly 1000!!!

[@maxvcollenburg]

Thanks for the kind words Ahmet! Glad you like it 😄 And just passed the 1000, woohoo!!

Super valuable advice Max, thank you. Great Top 7! I wasn't aware of #4 Message Variables - I'll be employing those. Everything gets better with your content: the outline, the training, your presentation and the production. Great job! Speaking of which, what tech are you using to shoot / record your self and desktop app? What video editing app are you using? Do you outsource that or edit yourself? Be well.

[@maxvcollenburg]

Hey Gregg! Thanks for noticing! 😄 Have been putting a lot of extra effort into production lately. I'm using a Sony A6400 to film myself, a Rode VideoMic NTG shotgun microphone for audio, and QuickTime to record my screen. After I've recorded everything, I put it into Final Cut Pro for editing. Right now I'm doing the editing myself, but I'm looking to outsource this soon as it's very time-consuming 🙃

[@greggwagstaff6688]

Max, I see, so one video file from the camera and one QT. Have you thought of trying ScreenFlow to record video channels simultaneously and edit? I LOVE that app.

[@maxvcollenburg]

​ @Gregg Wagstaff yes, correct! I've tried another app to record simultaneously, but my MacBook can't handle the 4K so well. But luckily, with one keyboard shortcut, I can automatically sync the files in Final Cut Pro. So it's not too much extra work 😄 The only thing I struggle with is the size of all those files with this new workflow. Previously I just recorded tutorials with Loom which gave me a 500mb file, now the recordings are easily 20gb to 50gb 😨

[@anugrace3521]

Thanks for great tutorials. I would like to have less lists but what about segmenting and sending emails? I don't see how to send email campaigns to a tag so I have a lot of lists but it does get messy =)

[@TankeStopMeditation]

Great video... i cant find a link to the tags document?

[@maxvcollenburg]

Ah, sorry! Forgot to add that. Just added it to the description 🙂

[@ravdadi1840]

Do you have a pdf if the 7tips?

[@idariousosborn7570]

Tip #4 is highly interesting. Didn't know that that is what that was for.

[@maxvcollenburg]

Yes, handy right!? 😄 I also created a separate tutorial about message variables in case you want to learn more about it 🙂

[@idariousosborn7570]

@@maxvcollenburg definitely would enjoy learning more about the variable and how the work.

[@maxvcollenburg]

Ok! Let me know if you come up with any other handy use cases for it 😄

[@realMartinHamilton]

Really great tips. One question Max. I want to use your tip on only two lists but have 4 websites. When I create the list it asks for a website. So do you mean a Main List and Customer List for each website. How can I make this work because I like the simplicity of just two lists and using tags to segment.

[@maxvcollenburg]

I would usually try to keep each website separate in a totally different account, as it's easy to make things messy this way. But if you really have to, I would create a separate list for each website. This unless all the websites are for the same business, and it doesn't matter if they get mixed, in that case I would just stick to two lists 🙂 I hope that helps!

[@user-ex2ws7zo8p]

I learned a lot!

[@maxvcollenburg]

Great! 😄

[@user-sp2co1zg8m]

Hey Max, whats your take on using outside forms integrated by integromat with Activecampaign. What are the downsides of this approach?

[@maxvcollenburg]

Hey Thiago! I don't think there's any major downsides to this, I'm also doing it myself. The only thing you lose is site tracking that starts as soon as someone fills out an ActiveCampaign form.

Your tips are great Max, thank you. :) Darci from Kauai

[@sebastianshine4262]

7:22 "If a contact visits a website that contains..." Do you do that through accounts on your website? Or has activecampaign for real a functionality that allows you to track this only by opting in on an optin form WITHOUT loging into an account? Thanks for your tutorials btw max Clean as always

[@maxvcollenburg]

Hey Sebastian! You can add site tracking to your website, and then, when someone submits a form or clicks a link inside an email to your website, ActiveCampaign will know who that visitor is 😄 I created a tutorial about site tracking in case you want to learn more about that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4WwgmRogrmEh68 If you've any other questions, let me know 🙃

@@maxvcollenburg Thanks man! Oh god how I struggled a few weeks ago making this work through aweber.. However, yes indeed I have a more important and relevant questions! Don't want to spam you, so please check out your last video. I commented on your own pinned comment. It's quite a text. But it also contains a huge value for local businesses and people who want to make chatbots for them. Since you are legit the most realiable manychat expert out there, I hope you could answer that question there. And if you don't know the answer, I would appreciate that too. Thanks again for your help man

Ah, I see! I just replied there 🙂

[@carlogarcenila8040]

hi sir I have a question for manychat what is the purpose of tagging content type in the live chat instead of inside the flow

[@maxvcollenburg]

I'm not sure, as I haven't used it, but I think it's about what kind of message you send through the live chat.

[@vegeta8169]

How do I qive a quiz like you do to tag the people.

[@maxvcollenburg]

Hey Vegeta! I created mine with RightMessage.
