The social bookmarking and networking sites work in a similar way, but the networking sites may require a bit more work, as the tool sends a message to all of your friends on those sites. If you do not have any friends on those sites, then the message will go out, but there will not be many people to read it.
The social bookmarking sites are more straight forward. First of all, go into each of the social weblets (bookmarking and networking), and do steps 1 and 2. Make sure your usernames and passwords are correct by going to the site and logging in to make sure you have the correct username/password combo, then enter them on the form in step 2 exactly as you entered them to sign in on each site. Once you have completed steps 1 and 2, you will never have to do them again (unless you change your passwords on the automated sites, in which case you will have to re-enter them on step 2).
The next step is to do the submissions. There are two ways to submit. You can either check the social bookmarking and networking checkboxes near the bottom of the page when creating or editing your content (such as when you create or edit a blogi post), or you can go through the Social Bookmarking or Networking Weblets and click on the "view content" link in the "Note" after step 3. This will give you a list of all your content, and you can click either the "Social Network This" or "Social Bookmark This" link for the content you wish to submit to the social sites.
For the title and sidebars, make sure you enter these items under the "Advanced Options" link when creating your capture pagei. There are two different titles. The advance options "Title" will show in the browser title, but not in the title area of the page header. The "Header Title" will actually show on the page. Enter the left and right sidebars in the Advanced Options section as well.
To get the name and phone number boxes to show, you must choose a "Target Mailing List." If you do not yet have a mailing list, you will have to create one using the Email Weblet. Once you've chosen the target mailing list, and checked the boxes for the name and phone, the form will appear, and will automatically include the box for the email address, as well as the other boxes your checked (name and phone), plus a submit button.
Also keep in mind that you will only be able to see the entire landing or capture page after you save it. If you click the "Preview" button instead of the "Save" button, it will only show you the information about your page, rather than the actual page.
Yes, that is correct. The email address is always required, and the email field is always placed automatically by the system.
We are in the process of converting the email to an easier interface, and the phone number (as well as custom fields you can create yourself) was going to be part of that. We will go ahead and put it on the shorter term list of things to do so that it gets done faster. It will be up by the end of the week.
We do have four backgrounds that are more creative than the main style (at the bottom of the list of styles), and we will be putting up more of them by the end of the week.
It looks like you have a bunch of Microsoft Word junk HTML that is stripped on display for security reasons. If you paste from Microsoft Word, or a site that has created a web page exported from Microsoft Word, it can include a lot of junk that is not needed, and our filters will see it as potentially dangerous. If it was from Microsoft Word, try using the "Paste from Word" icon in the rich text editori. If that doesn't work, try using the "Paste as plain text" icon, then use the other icons to add back any text decoration that was lost. Both of these icons are available on the Advanced rich text editor.
A capture pagei is similar to a landing pagei, except that it includes a subscription form for a mailing list. Typically, you would have only a single capture page for each campaigni. Normally, your blogs and/or articles would point to your capture page, and that is where your prospects enter their email address and subscribe to your mailing list.
In your case, the best course of action would probably be to create a capture form on this site, then link your Wordpress blogi to the capture form. You can still use all of the bookmarking and networking tools with your external blog. In the social bookmarking and networking weblets, there is an option to create an external link. Create an external link to your blog (you can create a link to the main page of your blog, as well as links for each blog post). When you view your content, your external links will be available, and the links to send to social bookmarking and networking sites will be available for each one. There is a more detailed explanation about the external links on the social bookmarking and networking weblets.
What page are you not allowed to access? If you are not logged in, or are not signed up as a gold or silver member, you will not be able to access certain pages. Also, if you are logged in, you will not be able to access the registration page (since you are already registered).
Click on the Weblets link in the left sidebar, then click Enter in the Blog Weblets box. You can then click on the "View blogi" link to view all of your saved blog posts.
When you click on an image from the Zemanta tools, the image will be added to the body of your content. If you click on another image, it will replace the first image. To add multiple images, you must drag them from the Zemanta tools to the body of your content. All Zemanta images automatically show up to the right of the text, with the text flowing around them.
This is easy to fix in Internet Explorer. Just click on the text that appears just under the Zemanta image. This should give you a set of small squares around the image and text under it. If this is what happens, skip to the next paragraph. Getting around this is a little bit tricky if using the Firefox browser, but possible. Highlight the text under the picture, as well as the picture itself by using the mouse to click and drag the cursor from the end of the line of text under the picture up to the picture, so that both the picture and the text under it are highlighted.
Once both the Zemanta image and text under it are selected together, click on the "Edit CSS Style" icon, which is the first icon on the bottom row of the rich text editori tools. A new window will open. Click on the "Box" tab at the top of the new window. The option on the top right of the "Box" tab is called "Float." If you highlighted the text and image properly, it should say "right" in the drop-down box. Select "left" or "none" to change the alignment with respect to the text. If you choose "none," the image will be on its own line. If you choose "left," the image will appear on the left, with the text flowing around it.
When you upload your own image using the Insert/edit image icon (more information on this can be found in the Glossary), the alignment is easy to edit. Just click the "Appearance" tab and choose the "Alignment" you would like. You will see a preview of your choice on the right. This will not work properly when editing a Zemanta image, as the Zemanta images are attached to the text under the image, so you will only be aligning the image with respect to the text under the image.
To change the size of any image, just click on the image. Small squares will appear around the image. Drag one of the squares on one of the corners of the image to change the size, while keeping the aspect ratio. If you drag one of the squares on the left, right, top or bottom of the image, you can change the vertical or horizontal size, which will distort the image.
Unfortunately, the Zemanta tools do not always work well in Preview mode. All of the other tools should work fine in Preview. Preview is not necessarily needed, however, because of the type of editor we use. When using the rich text editor, you are basically seeing everything as it will appear on the page.
When you view your blogi, you will see a number of links at the bottom. Included in those links are "Social Bookmark This," "Social Network This," and "Invite to This." Click on each of those links to get your blog out on various bookmarking and networking sites. "Social Bookmark This" will present you with a number of Automated and Semi-Automated links that will allow you to bookmark your blog in a public area that many other people will see. "Social Network This" will allow you to send messages about your blog to social networking sites. There are registration links for each site so you can sign up for each one.
To use the automated options, click the "Add/Edit Social Profiles" link to enter your usernames and passwords for the social networking and bookmarking sites. There are links to register for each of the sites on that page as well. Once your profiles are saved, you will have new automated links to click. Clicking a link for an automated option will present you with a simple form. All of the information will be filled out, and you may make some changes to it if you wish. Just click submit to send your blog. We will continuously add new automated options, to make submitting even easier!
To use the semi-automated options, you must be logged in to the site for which you would like to send your blog. Clicking on one of the links will take you to another page with a single link. Click on the single link to open the bookmarking or networking site in a new window. If you are signed in on the bookmarking or networking site, you will be presented with a form. Finish the form and submit to submit your blog. If you are not signed in, the window will require you to sign in, and then you may have to close the window and click the link again.
The "Invite to This" makes use of the Contact Weblet to send your blog to your current contacts. You may use the Contact Weblet to import your contacts first, then use the "Invite to This" link on your blog to send your blog to all of your contacts, or a single category of your contacts at once.
Click on Filter again to remove the filter search. You must have some text typed in the body of your blogi, article, or landing pagei in order for this to work. Please note that the images change depending on the text you have typed. You can press the "Update" button to the right of where it says "Zemanta" to update right away. Otherwise, it will only update after a certain number of words are written. Please also note that the images may be different every time you create new content, as the default images are based on the current popular images across all the image networks.
First of all, you should only use keywords that are contained in your content, because this improves the search engine link popularity, so people will more likely find your content. The easiest way to figure out which keywords to use is by using the Keyword Weblet to extract the relevant keywords. Just paste the text of your content into the Keyword Weblet and click the "Run Query" button. The result box will show the extracted keywords. If your content is very long, you may have to do this in two parts (the tool can only handle about 1200 words at a time). If you wish, you can submit your content, use the Keyword Weblet to extract the keywords, then go back and edit your content to enter the keywords.
Another nifty tool on the Keyword Weblet is the Search Trends area. You can look at the hourly search trends to find popular keywords that relate enough to your content, that they can be incorporated. If you find any, be sure to use the full term or phrase in both your content and keywords.
You can drive traffic to any of the content you create on MLMv2. Using the Social Bookmarking and Social Networking, as well as the Contact Weblet and Subscription link on your Blog and Article Weblets, you can send links to any page of content you create. This includes blogs, articles, landing pages, and capture pages. What you really want to do is plan a campaigni, then send people to the starting point of your campaign, so they go through all the steps you want them to take.
For example, you may start with a capture page that will subscribe them to your mailing list, and that mailing list will send out a series of autoreplies. Each autoreply would link to the next step, and each of those steps could be a landing page. The capture page could offer them a free report that your company offers if they subscribe. Then the first autoresponder would send them a link to the free report, which you could put into a landing page. The next autoreply may send them a link to another landing page that contains a video, and so on to create a relationship. Once the relationship is established, it will be easier to convince them to buy what you are selling, or sign up for the plan you are promoting.
You could start everything off with a blog or article. In fact, you could write a series of short daily blog entries that each link to the starting point of your campaign. The blog entries themselves could be a way to create a relationship until people become more familiar with you, and are willing to check out that first page of your campaign. Each blog entry, as well as that first capture page, could be sent to all the social sites using the Social Bookmarking and Networking Weblets. This will create some quick initial traffic, then quite a bit more traffic over the coming weeks as the search engines crawl through all those bookmarking sites, and through your campaign. As you build relationships, your traffic will become higher quality, because people will truly care about reading what you have to write.
Yes, this is possible. You may create multiple campaigns, which can target one or more companies that you may represent. This can be done by creating multiple mailing lists that have separate sets of autoreplies and newsletters. You can then create multiple sets of landing or capture pages, and separate capture pages can include subscription forms for separate mailing lists.
We have a number of simple style templates available in various colors, which you can select when creating a landing pagei. You can also add video from various video sites to the body of your landing page quite easily using the instructions under the "How to Add Video" link in the left sidebar.
The style templates are to help people who are unable to customize their own templates, and we have provided them in a variety of colors for your use. Most people use the standard style templates as a starting point, and customize the content area using the rich text editori tools, and also add videos, pictures, or their own graphics. You may create a custom landing pagei for yourself, where the area around the content can be created according to your wishes.
You must have a Google Calendar account in order to use the Calendar Weblet. Go to http://www.google.com/calendar to set up your calendar. When entering your Google Calendar login information, use the same exact username and password you use to sign in on Google Calendar (http://www.google.com/calendar). For some Google Calendars, the username is an email address. The Calendar Weblet will then be able to extend the functionality of your Google Calendar beyond what Google allows.
When entering any content on the site, you may click the page break button within the rich text editori (the last button in the editor's toolbar) to create a teaser break. The teaser break will allow you to have a "teaser" or summary for your content. The summary will show in lists of content, and is used when sending a summary of your content to other sites using your Weblets.
When you do not specify a teaser, the main body of your content will be used, but will be cut off after a certain number of characters. You have the option of separating your teaser from the main body of your content so that it does not show within the main body by unchecking the "Show summary in full view" checkbox above the rich text editor.
