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.

Click on the Categories at the right to look for specific information.

If there is something wrong in the manual,
please email us: admin @ ThePIESystem.co.uk

and we will post a correction here.

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:

So at the recent PIE System training in Northampton UK, we covered four key elements.

1) (re-)Introduction to the PIE System - David Butler explaining WHY you need it and an overview of HOW it works, with feedback from Ken and Ian.

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/

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.

We’ve had a couple of queries related from people not used to working with ZIP filesm so here’s an overview of how to ‘zip’ and ‘unzip’ files on Windows Vista:

So you’ve downloaded a zip file and now you need to open it.

Maybe you need to send some files to a friend via e-mail, but they need to be in a zip file to make the trip. Don’t worry about installing any software, Vista can handle zip files in a snap. There are many ways to do it as well. I saw a post at Maximumpcguides and thought why not do a guide to how I use Vista to zip and unzip.

Zipping Files and Folders

Adding files and folders to a zip file is easy in Vista. It’s easiest if you have all the files together in one location, so you can select them all at once. If they’re not, copy/move them all to one folder first. If you want all the files in one folder to be zipped, you could just zip the folder itself, or you can open the folder and select all the items within (CTRL+A on your keyboard is a quick way of doing this).

In any case, once you have selected the items you want zipped, right-click on any of them and from the menu that pops up, choose Compressed (zipped) Folder from the Sent To command.

A zip file icon will appear in the same location as the files you had selected. The name of the file is based on the files you selected, and waits for you to change it, or you could just hit your ESC key if you want to leave it as is.

Done! You’ve got a zip file with the files you selected compressed inside.

Unzipping Files and Folders

To unzip a zipped file, simply double-click the file, and Vista will open it like it would a folder, showing you the contents inside.

You can then drag files from that window to any location you choose, just like it was a normal folder.

If you want all of the files, it may be quicker to extract them all at once. To do this, just click the Extract all files button just above the file list.

You’ll be asked to choose a location to store the files (the default is the same location that your current zipped file is). By default when the extraction is finished, Vista will open a window showing the extracted files, but you can uncheck the box if you don’t want this.

That’s it, pretty simple!

If you’ve upgraded to GetResponse Pro, then you can add another campaign and put your business on autopilot!

We’ve created a follow up campaign that takes prospects all the way through the 10 bonus emails and straight into Stone Evans’ Plug-In Profit Site follow through marketing campaign, meaning they get up to 260 personalised email messages from you over a 400 day period!

You can have this up and running in less than 20 minutes including watching the training video, then use all that extra time each day to click up those traffic exchange credits - a double benefit.

To find out how to implement it, here’s a training video, (just under 11 minutes long) - watch it a couple of times and then open a new tab and have it running alongside whilst you follow it yourself.

Here’s the link to the video:

Just one question regarding the IMSP signup:

When I paste in the link given to me by my sponsor - http://www.instantmlmsqueezepages.com/?r=XXX to sign up for the IMSP, the site navigates away to http://www.instantmlmsqueezepages.com/index.php and there is no reference to my sponsor on the new page.

I have tried it with your link and it does the same. I am just concerned that the correct linking is not going to happen, and want to make sure my downline are then correctly linked to me.

Could you please just put my mind at rest

Apart from that, PIPS setup was fine, so thanks for doing such a thorough job of writing the guide, I’m convinced that it is the way forwards to massive growth.

You are correct, The PIPS signup page does include the name of your sponsor, the IMSP signup page doesn’t. I have spoken with James Grandstaff about this and he has added it to his list of things to do!

It is only when you get to Step 4 and you see the link for “Your Sponsor Recommends: This MLM Business” that you can see who your sponsor is (a bit late!) it’s actually not a major issue, as if it is done incorrectly, simply raise a support ticket and James’ team will fix it – they understand the importance of MLM structures and integrity.

I have downloaded the e-Book and Spreadsheet but don’t where the videos that I should watch are located.

Please read Page 5 of the Introduction guide – it has a complete list of them.

If you haven’t yet activated the e-book then that is the 12 page guide that you will be reading when you open the e-book.

If you have activated the e-book, then open the e-book and click on e-book in the top left hand corner, select which book to read and choose the ‘Introduction to…’ and refer to page 5

Also I’ve downloaded the RoboForm free version, is that for a limited time and then it becomes a paid version you have to install? I’ve yet to install it on computer yet.

RoboForm free version is limited by the number of logins you can store after the first 30 days. If you set your profile up correctly, and follow the instructions in the e-book on user names and passwords, you can just about use the free version without having to upgrade. Once you start using it though, it becomes an invaluable one off investment. – I would have trouble living without it!
