Instructors have said they wanted a way to incorporate their brand more into Fisheye Connect. A lot of you have blogs or even photography workshop website where you want to be able to use that but let Fisheye Connect handle the registration and details.
Well we finally have a way! Or really two and you can use both.
First Way. If you have a blog or website. You can now use our RSS feed. You can find this link under your dashboard under "My Links". All you have to do is download and install the RSS feed into your website/blog. Take the RSS link we provide you for your workshops, then all of your events from Fisheye Connect will show up on your site. Once they click on the link it will take them to the checkout process screen on Fisheye Connect in order to securely guide them through that process. There are many free RSS free plugins that you can use on your site for this.
Second Way.
You will see a new area on your main profile page at the bottom titled. "Custom Instructor Page Details". You can check "Use the custom workshop page" and you can customize the look and feel when someone is searching for your workshops exclusively or when you are wanting to put a link out on your website, blog, or even a link on social media that will tell everyone about your upcoming events. Again this link is also found under "My Links" on your Dashboard.
Customize the colors, upload your logo, and even add a message or "tagline" about your workshop or brand.

Here is an example. We used Mike Moreland and here is a screen shot of his website and brand that we will match.

We went through and customized his page to his colors and brand and uploaded a logo. Easy peasy :)
Here is the before of what his personal page on Fisheye Connect looked like.

Here is the after!

So if the traffic is coming from your social media or website it is a smoother transition. We are just empowering your brand!
