Every content creator on Garage-O-Matic™ has their own unique, fully customizable landing page. Creators can personalize their header photo and description to reflect their brand or area of expertise. All of their content—whether it’s how-to videos, guides, or tutorials—appears neatly organized on their individual landing page. A built-in search feature allows users to easily find content by title, keyword, or category. Users can access free content without signing up, while premium content requires a purchase and registration for access.
Garage-O-Matic™ offers an interactive Q&A feature that content creators can opt into, allowing users to ask questions directly related to their projects. Creators can choose whether to offer this feature for free or charge a fee for personalized assistance, creating a new revenue stream while fostering a community of engaged learners and enthusiasts.
When setting up a new project, content creators can title their project, set a price, and craft a compelling summary and detailed description. They have the option to upload images and videos, and can even choose a preview video that serves as the first thing users see on their landing page. If a creator has multiple videos, they can set one of them as the default video users will see when accessing their how-to content.
Creators can tag their content with relevant keywords, associate it with applicable makes, models, years, and even VIN numbers, and identify common symptoms addressed in their tutorials. Additionally, they can specify tools, parts, and supplies needed, complete with part numbers, website links, and recommended quantities. Custom notes and documents can be uploaded to provide additional guidance, and projects can include a difficulty rating (ranging from novice to expert), safety hazard levels (ranging from minimal to very high), and estimated time to complete—spanning from just one hour to over five days.
These features combine to create a seamless, user-friendly experience while allowing creators to build monetizable, informative, and interactive how-to resources tailored to a global audience.
