How exactly does it work?
- This is a lightning-fast HTML-only website hosted on Cloudflare servers around the world.
- The links go to your videos on your social platforms.
- The domain is yours. If you don’t already have your own domain, I can help you get one. If you already have a website, this will be a subdomain (like archive.yourhandle.com).
- You put it as your link in bio, or at the top of your Linktree.
- You tell your viewers about it (important).
What about new videos?
New posts are automatically added on a schedule. The system will categorize the video and identify the search terms, then publish it.
Am I locked in?
Nope. I hate that stuff. That’s why it’s at your domain. The content gets served from a separate server, but if you decide it’s not right for you, I’ll send you the files and you can install them on your own web host and point your domain toward them so it’s completely transparent to your users. Also, you can download the page files yourself at any time.
Note: the page will still work, but it won’t get updated.
What’s the setup process?
Easy. For TikTok, all you need to do is give your permission to access your content and the tool does the rest. For Instagram, you’ll also need to export your Reels and share the export so the tool can get the thumbnails and categorize the content.
The tool picks categories and writes the summary. You can change categories and tweak the text as needed.
The video is always on the original platform.
Pick one of the six base styles for the archive, or adjust it with the complete customizer.
Do you need access to any of my accounts?
Nope. The system puts a bright line between what you own and what the system touches. No password access to your social accounts, domain, email, anything.
What about cookies, privacy policies and terms of service?
The archive website is GDPR-compliant out of the box. No cookie consent is required. It doesn’t collect any personally identifiable information unless the newsletter and/or affiliate modules are turned on. You will need to provide a privacy policy, terms of service, and any other required legal pages. I can help you figure this out.
Who are you and why are you doing this?
I’m Joe, a small business consultant and serial DIY-er. I’ve been frustrated for years with how much great content on socials gets lost over time. I couldn’t find the DIY tips I’d saved on Instagram and TikTok, so I built diysolvr.com to make a searchable online directory. Along the way I realized the tools I was building could be used by a single creator to build an archive that their fans would love.
