A: You can upgrade directly through AppSumo, as long as the campaign is still active.
Just: • Upgrade your existing tier to Tier 2 on AppSumo • Use the same email address you used for your original purchase • The new tier will be upgraded to your existing Brilliant Directories account
If you run into any issues during the process, just reach out to our team and we’ll be happy to help get...
If I buy tier 5, then are there any upsells/add-ons I will be required to pay for, or do I get EVERYTHING in BD (and everything that's upcoming, unlimited, updated forever)?

A: Thanks for the question — it’s an important one to clarify.
With Tier 5, you get a very generous and feature-rich setup out of the box. It includes lifetime access to the core Brilliant Directories platform, plus 20 of our most popular premium add-ons, along with ongoing platform updates and support — for life.
Tier 5 doesn’t automatically include every single optional feature we offer, but...
Can therapists/doctors on my platform sell digital products or courses from my platform (and I can earn commission from those sales)
P.S. If the answer is no, then I have urgent feedback. It's about the AI chatbot (Josh - Pre-Sales Guide) on your website, which tends to say YES to everything. Even when the human version of you here says no to things that do not exist in BD. So, maybe there's a need to tweak this AI chatbot on the website to say NO when required.

A: Thanks for the question — and especially for calling this out. You’re absolutely right to want clarity here.
Brilliant Directories is not a multi-vendor marketplace in the Etsy / Gumroad / Shopify sense. The digital products feature is designed for the site owner (you) to sell products, downloads, or gated access directly from the site — not for individual members to each run their own...
Like Psychologytoday.com, does BD allow members/doctors to write blogs and post them to attract more patients?
If yes, then is it restricted to blogs only, or can they post videos like YouTube or audios like Spotify? The idea is to make paid members generate content, which will improve the site's SEO and attract more patients for our members.
Also, can you please explain what you meant by (on...

A: Great question — this is actually one of the strongest and most proven use cases for Brilliant Directories.
Yes ✅ BD allows members (including doctors/therapists) to publish content to attract patients, very similar to how PsychologyToday works.

For a new directory, it might be difficult to convince people to pay a monthly fee to be on the platform when the traffic is too low. And when there are too few experts on the list, it's challenging to get much traffic. It's a chicken-and-egg problem. I wonder if you allow a commission-based model to monetise. I mean, I want to tell the experts that you don't have to pay me money upfront. You pay...

Is it possible to monetise the "patient" side as well...by restricting how many "doctor phone numbers/contact address" they can see in a given month?
