Welcome to The PIE System Tips pages
Welcome,
Here you will find a regular list of frequently asked questions (FAQ’s) regarding using The PIE System 1.0
The first rule is: if all else fails read the manual!
I know that sounds strange, however hundreds of hours went in to producing The PIE System 1.0 guide and in most cases when you read it you will find the answer.

Update for the new GetResponse system
The key functionality of GetResponse is still there and it can still do all the things that it did before.
However some of the items have moved around, and some of the process / configuration options have changed.
So here is a short (4mins) video that shows you how to load up the bonus emails in to your new campaign for use with IMSP.
Remember – you still need to watch the first video before this, because I only cover preloading the emails here.
Here’s the link to the video:

What do I do with the leads from IMSP or Empowerism?
I have set up my campaign as guided. I have a lead created from IMSP but I am not sure what to do with it.?
You can copy and paste the emails from the bonus section, edit them to suit YOUR links and email them one by one from your usual email system.
The best way is to capture them directly into GetResponse, to do that you will need to upgrade to the Pro version (see The PIE System e-book for details on how to do that), use the bonus email campaign and then set up your squeeze pages to use that campaign.
Once you’ve upgraded to GetResponse Pro, you can also add your Empowerism leads
First, watch this video and set up your new email marketing campaign: Wondering-just-how-to-use-the-bonus-emails
Then watch Ken Radford’s video on using GetResponse with Instant MLM Squeeze Pages (IMSP): Setting Up Your IMSP/GetResponse Squeeze Capture Pages.
You can then enter the Empowerism leads to your GetResponse campaign(s) one at a time. - just use one of your GetResponse Squeeze pages created with IMSP to enter their details.
We would STRONGLY recommend that you only do a few a day so that it doesn’t trigger a ‘spam’ block from GetResponse, - usually they block an IP address when they have a large number of registrations from the same IP addresss.
If you need to change your IP address, reboot your broadband router (switch off at the mains and restart it). That usually gives you a new IP address depending upon how your ISP has set you up, if that doesn’t work, you’ll have to contact your ISP to get a new IP address, to see what your IP address is at any time (before and after rebooting) go here: http://whatismyipaddress.com/
How to Copy and Paste
Here is a crash course on copying and pasting for those of you who aren’t yet familiar with your Windows program.
Knowing how to do this is the basis for a successful Internet marketing campaign. It’s easy! Once you get the hang of it, you’ll wonder how you survived without it!
You have the ability to copy or cut and paste any text, whether it’s from an email, another document, or posted on a web site. You can then do anything you want with that text.
The same applies to images, folders, and files, with limitations.
Perhaps you received an email from your sponsor that includes a marketing letter for you to send to prospects. The first step is to place your mouse pointer at the beginning of that letter and click the left button. Then, while still holding the button down, drag your mouse down the page until the marketing letter is highlighted. Once your text is highlighted, let go of the left mouse button.
It’s time to Copy and you have a few choices:
(1) click on Edit, then Copy,
(2) press Ctrl C (first press the Ctrl key and while holding it down, press the C key), or
(3) right click (Windows only) and choose Copy.
You have now Copied that highlighted text "onto the pasteboard," meaning it can be pasted anywhere you wish.
You’ll want to save this marketing letter as a file on your computer so it’s always ready to use. If you use AOL, you can just click on File, New. If you don’t use AOL, you can create a new document anywhere on your computer. The easiest way is to minimize all your windows so that only your desktop is showing. Your Desktop is the area of your computer that comes up after you turn the computer on, where all the icons are. Then, right-click anywhere in that area and choose New, then Text Document. It is temporarily called "New Text Document" and while that is highlighted in blue, you will want to go ahead and re-name it to the name of your choosing, such as “Marketing Letter.” Then hit Enter and double click on the icon. This opens a file in your NotePad (or WordPad) program.
Now (with either scenario–AOL or NotePad) you are ready to Paste.
Pasting, like copying, can be done in one of several ways:
(1) Click on Edit, then Paste,
(2) press Ctrl V (first click the Ctrl button and while holding it down, press the V key), or
(3) right click (Windows only) and choose Paste.
If you are using AOL, you will click File, Save, and then name your document. Be sure to note the Directory in which it is being saved (AOL uses the “c:/AOL__/download” directory as its default but you can change to any directory you wish).
If you are on your desktop, using a text document, just click File, then Save. You now have a document called “Marketing Letter” which can be copied and pasted into an email using the same copy and paste steps described above!
When you’re ready to create an email, just open your Marketing Letter by double-clicking it on your desktop, highlight the entire letter (by left-clicking and dragging the mouse from beginning to end OR by right clicking and choosing Select All), then copy it (Ctrl-C or right click and choose Copy), then click the “Create Email” icon in your mail program, then paste the text into the body of the email (Ctrl-V or right click and choose Paste).
AOL Instructions on Using Email Quoting in Replies
AOL Users: It is common courtesy to reply to an email and include the contents of the email to which you are replying.
This prevents the recipient from having to remember what conversation took place previously or having to locate your last email to see what was written first.
If you are replying to an email that you received, before clicking the reply button, use your mouse to highlight the body of their email and THEN hit Reply. You will see that this puts their email in the body of your reply. Then you can type your reply above that, at the top of the Message Body window.
Print these instructions so you have them handy, and then try it a few times. Once you do it, you’ll see that it’s easy.
