Ubertor Concierge Plan (video)

Hi Stephen Jagger with Ubertor. Just wanted to shoot a quick video today talking about our new plan called the Ubertor Concierge Plan. Basically what we’ve done is added a new plan that’s available now. You can go to ubertor.com to see all of the details but what it is in the Concierge Plan where we’ve taken basically all of the features of our seventy seven dollar ($77) plan and added a few more very hands on specific type tasks to the plan. So now within the Concierge Plan, four hundred and seven dollars ($407) a month. When you add a listing to your site, our team will automatically go ahead and add it in Kijiji for you, as well as Craigslist. We’ll also set up your twitter account, syndicate that property for you as well as do a monthly website audit for you. So, it’s a real hands on plan that gives you basically a virtual assistant that will help with some very specific tasks with your website needs. So, for more details, go to ubertor.com. If you’ve got questions, you can always contact me or click on the live help button within your control panel or on the contact page of our website. Thanks and I’ll talk to you soon.

Updated Feature: Ubertor And Facebook Video

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

I mentioned a couple weeks ago that we added Facebook as a video syndication partner to Ubertor, but that it was in limited beta. We have now rolled out the functionality across the board so that it is available system wide for all clients. All you need to do is setup your Ubertor website with your Facebook account and your set. You can do this within the Setup tab in your Ubertor control panel. Now when you load a video to your Ubertor website it can go to Combustion Video, YouTube, Viddler and now Facebook.

As usual, if you have any questions feel free to contact our client services team for more information.
