Speaker 1: Hey, what up Decisive Marketers? So, today I'm going to be talking about an LMS that I'm excited about. It's called Graphy, because I have reviewed last year one of my favorite LMS. It's not even one of my favorite, but my favorite LMS called Spingy. And what happens is that the company behind, you know, the company called Art Academy, or the product is called Graphy, they actually bought over Spingy, and it seems like they absorbed the entire Spingy's product itself, and they just call it Graphy right now. So, I think Spingy is great. It's probably one of the best LMS around that I have actually used. And I would say that now that I'm reviewing Graphy again, it seems a little bit stupid because it's the same exact same product, it's just a different name. Of course, there has been some improvement itself. So, let's talk a little bit about Graphy or Spingy. So, Graphy, if you look at the UI itself, you would actually see that certain things are still named as Spingy. In fact, they have not actually cleaned up the UI. But there is also some additional features. One of them is called the membership feature, so we're going to be looking into that. I will quickly kind of jump through everything very quickly because, you know, most of the features are pretty much the same as last year when I reviewed the Spingy's platform itself. So, without further ado, let's jump into Graphy, but be sure to hit that subscribe button first if you'd like to see more digital marketing and e-commerce content. So, here we go. We are in Graphy right now. Let me just kind of refresh the page right here. So, over here, let me just see what is creating all that noise somewhere. So, let me just close this right here. So, let's jump into Graphy. So, you can have that membership feature, which is brand new. The cool thing is you have your Android iOS app that comes with Spingy and Graphy as well. So, the thing about Spingy and Graphy is that you have everything. The only thing that Spingy doesn't come with is the video hosting feature, but Graphy actually gives you that feature. So, you don't have to use a separate video hosting. You can use whatever that Graphy provides you. The only thing is that the way that Graphy monetizes is based on the number of sales that you get. So, the cool thing about using Graphy then is if you are going to be using it as a free course platform, then this is amazing because if it's free, you don't have to pay for any fees at all. So, they only make money from you if you sell a course itself. So, we are going to jump into Graphy, but right now, firstly, let's kind of take a look at some of the stuff here. Okay, profile and all that. So, the thing is, okay, so Graphy, right now, they are running a lifetime deal for the launch plan and the rise plan. The only difference between the launch plan and the rise plan is the fees that they're going to be charging you. So, that means for the launch plan, it's 5%. For the rise plan, it's 10% of the cost fees. But, if you're going to be running a free course, then which one makes more sense, right? Just take the launch plan, I would say. Okay, so the thing about Graphy, yes, it's the best platform. Okay, so we're going to be jumping in. So, I'm in the profile right here. I think pretty much nothing, there's nothing much in here. So, let's go into settings. So, you can set your domain, your payment, your invoicing, security. Okay, so this is all present in Spade as well. It's just that they kind of changed up the UI a little bit, but the settings pretty much, they're all the same thing, right? You know, it's the same thing. You can limit the device as well. Combine limit, you know, how many you can set that up as well, right? You can restrict access to offline content, number of devices learners can download a course on, okay? You know, watermarks and stuff like that, okay? And then emails, where is it going to go out from, custom fields, okay? Okay, whatever. And they can set up live classes as well with Zoom, right? OTP and allow, you know, SSO with Google or Facebook right here, and so on, right? So, I'm just going to quickly jump in and start creating a course. I have a course right here already when I was testing it out. So, you can see that this is exactly like Spade, right? So, what you want to do is, you can see here, this pop-up is also the same as Spade, right? And you can choose, you know, the items right here, but normally what you want to be doing is select the heading first so that you can set your individual modules, or you can name your individual modules, and then you can put in your PDF, video, and stuff like that. So, let's say you choose video, I can see, you know, this VadoTV is in here, right? So, this is actually, as once again, it's actually from, you know, Spade itself, but of course, because if you are using Graphi, videos are all included, so you can use, you can just upload to them directly. There's no need to use a separate video. Maybe you want to use YouTube if you want to accumulate some views in there, right? But otherwise, you know, it's all, you know, that's what I would do, right? And then, you know, you get, you know, this is a text-based lesson. So, you can choose different kind of lessons in there. I don't want to spend too much time here because you guys can just check out my Spade video. Just go to my channel and just search for Spade and, you know, that's what you want to be looking at, right? So, you can set up your packages as well. So, if people purchase a package, they get access to multiple courses. You can set individual course prices as prices as well. You can set up your question bank so you can insert them into your quizzes and, you know, review the quizzes, you know, and assignments that people submit, any live tests and live classes. And I think ratings and reviews, this might be a new thing where when people complete your course, they can actually give a review or a rating as well. So, you can take a look at that. And the next one is the membership, right? So, what happens is that you can actually offer a membership. So, this is actually a new thing and it creates a community feature in Spade or Graphy itself, right? So, what happens is that people can have group chats, you know, discussion and stuff like that within Graphy itself, okay? So, you can set that up and launch the membership. Okay, so the downside, it seems that you must charge a price for membership. So, that's, you can't have a free membership. So, that's one of the downsides for you to take note of. So, you can't have launched a free community with Graphy, okay? And then you can access all the learners, admins, and instructors and stuff like that, okay? So, maybe we can just kind of put a dollar or something like that and launch it. Okay, let's see. So, okay, so I got to set up the payment gateway and I don't really want to do that right now. So, maybe we'll just kind of skip that. So, public forum. So, this is somewhat new as well. It was, I believe it was available on Spade but it was kind of conducted in a different manner. But, you know, it's kind of still in there. And you can also have your individual course discussion as well and messages. So, this is actually for you to send out your SMS, web push, or mobile push messages. So, you've got push notification in there and you can set up, you know, your website in here as well. So, there are four different teams that you can choose from and you can edit every single page as well. You can create individual pages as well. You know, just a lot of stuff that you can do. So, we're going to create a new page here to test it out. Okay, and then if you want to include the website header, it could be an individual landing page kind of stuff, right? So, how do we design? Okay, we'll click on design. So, and then you get your page builder right here, which is again very similar to Spade. So, you know, the sections are sort of fixed. It's kind of like a page builder kind of thing, but it's less, it's a little bit more rigid than, for example, Elementor. But, you know, you can choose the elements in here. You can choose entire sections to insert as well, right? Templates that you can insert as well. So, and you can, let me see again, you can even set up, you can even change the code, right? The HTML code in the page itself, something like that. So, that's kind of what I did with my Spade site so that I can automatically redirect people to the login page. So, I don't use the website itself. So, you can do that as well if you want to. And then your mobile apps and stuff like that. And then marketing, right? So, you can have, so this is a new thing as well. It seems like you can create blogs now. So, this is a new feature. So, you can create your own blogs, right? So, that's very nice. Promo codes, wallets and credit, refer and earn, and so on, right? So, okay. So, the last part would be the integration. So, what I have heard is that you can't add learners into Speyi via API or Webhooks anymore. Sorry, not Speyi, but Graphi anymore. So, that's the downside of Graphi, right? But otherwise, it's pretty much the same thing, right? But otherwise, it's pretty much the same thing, okay? And then you got your API, Webhooks, and any logs are all in here. And I guess that's all. I know it's a very slipshod kind of review that I'm doing because, you know, I have covered this before. Once again, I have to say that Graphi is the best LMS, but if you are going to be running free courses, this is a brainless deal that you have to buy because it's the best experience that you can give to your learners. And because it's free, you don't have to pay any fees at all, okay? So, the only downside, of course, you know, the 5% and 10%, right? So, if you are going to be selling a lot of courses, you anticipate that you're going to be selling a lot of courses, then maybe you want to go for the 5% plan, right? Rather than the 10% plan. But otherwise, I guess that's all I have to share. This is a good tool. It's probably the best LMS, so make sure that you grab it if you want to be running free courses for sure, right? If you want to be offering paid courses, then get the RISE plan, right? So, I guess that's all I have to share. Do check out my Speyi video if you want to have more in-depth features that I cover about, you know, graphy as well. So, be sure to check that video out. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. Feel free to comment below. Let me know your thoughts. And if you enjoyed this video, do give me a thumbs up. Let me know what you think. Sorry, if you know anyone who could benefit from a LMS, be sure to share this video with them. I'll see you in my next video. Bye-bye.
