[22:12] <Jonathan_Myers> Hello all

[22:12] <Jonathan_Myers> Hey Kelvin, long time no see

[22:13] <Lisa_Glysson> Hey Tim, when is the Authors section coming back?

[22:13] <kelvin--brown> i spent the  8 of the last 14 days in an intensive workshop

[22:13] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> lisa, my policy, every since I almost went insane on "are you done yet" requests with the classifieds, on developing software, is not to give deadlines. The constant "are you done yet" questions ultimately slows down the project and frustrates all of us.

[22:13] <Alan_Currie> I hope some of it sunk in Kelvin

[22:14] <kelvin--brown> it did

[22:14] <kelvin--brown> a lot did, and a lot will come with practice

[22:14] <Lisa_Glysson> thanks Tim, no I understand completely!  I remember what happened before!!

[22:15] <Alan_Currie> Thats great, what was the workshop on

[22:15] <kelvin--brown> "ME"

[22:15] <Alan_Currie> Excellent

[22:17] <kelvin--brown> learning not only who i am, who i preceive myself to be, but also, how i show up to others, whom do they perceive me to be.  And then relearning, or resetting who i want to be, for me and for those i interact with

[22:19] <Alan_Currie> That was a pretty intence workshop.

[22:19] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> sounds exhausting

[22:19] <Jonathan_Myers> pretty good karma there Kelvin....lol

[22:48] <Don_Lee> Hi willie

[22:49] <Joy_Wray> e'mail the businesses to let them know they are availablel.

[22:49] <Willie> Hi Don

[22:50] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> joy, i would suggest you visit them in person and show them how to use the coupons to promote their business

[22:51] <Joy_Wray> So, e-mailing free business listings isn't available?  

[22:52] <kelvin--brown> any big sales this week

[22:52] <Ed_Bremer> do it yourself Joy--without form e-mail

[22:52] <kelvin--brown> any new ideas or approaches

[22:53] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> joy, i probablyd don't understand what you are asking me

[22:53] <kelvin--brown> Tim,  the blog is not being posted to via the automatic postings

[22:54] <Joy_Wray> Sorry.  I just want to know if we can communicate in mass to all the free business listings.

[22:54] <Ed_Bremer> you ask for e-mail when you pick up card

[22:54] <Alan_Currie> Goodnight all

[22:54] *** Quits: Alan_Currie (I just LOVE being a portal director!!)

[22:54] <Ed_Bremer> gn Alan

[22:55] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> joy, there is not a bulk email option, i think that is waht you mean right?

[22:56] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> to send it to all the listings at once?

[22:56] <Joy_Wray> Yes.

[22:56] <Joy_Wray> Like bringing them up to date on the latest options on the portal.

[22:57] <Joy_Wray> Maybe like a very brief newsletter.

[22:58] <Ed_Bremer> good idea--I see what you mean

[22:58] <Ed_Bremer> gentle pressure

[22:58] <Joy_Wray> Absolutely -- just encouragement!

[22:59] <Joy_Wray> And a reminder that we're still around!

[23:00] <Joy_Wray> Maybe with an option to opt out of future mailings.  Just thinking out loud here.

[23:00] <Ed_Bremer> increase the plus side for them

[23:00] <Joy_Wray> Right.

[23:01] <Jonathan_Myers> Tim, is there another way to upload files for the sponsor ads besides the FTP, I'm not having any luck getting it to upload and show up on the front page

[23:01] <Jonathan_Myers> I did make sure the file name was correct

[23:01] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> jonathan, i can check it

[23:02] <Jonathan_Myers> ok

[23:02] <Ed_Bremer> Letroy called me today with same problem Jonathan

[23:02] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> jonathan, which sponsor ad are you trying tio put up?

[23:03] <Jonathan_Myers> bottom-ad1

[23:04] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> jonathan, what is the name of the graphic file

[23:04] <Jonathan_Myers> the one underneath the, just a sec, I'll get that info

[23:04] <Jim> Tim - I still can't get my PBL to show up on my portal.  It's on the server, looks fine when I type the url in my browser, but when I

[23:05] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Joy, the response to bulk email anymore is almost non existant, i think you are a lot better off dropping a post card in the mail to your best prospects

[23:05] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Jim, what is your last name

[23:05] <Jonathan_Myers> middletown-oh-news-bottom-ad1.gif

[23:06] <Jim> short

[23:06] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> http://middletownportal.com/user_images/front_page_images/middletown-oh-news-bottom-ad1.gif

[23:06] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> ok i see it

[23:07] <Jonathan_Myers> the ftp program said it was ok and was uploaded, and that existing file would be overwritten

[23:08] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> jonathan the file is uplaoded

[23:08] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> i am trying to remember what the name of that sponsor ad is for that file

[23:09] <Jonathan_Myers> I'll check

[23:09] <Lisa_Glysson> gn everyone!

[23:09] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> jonathan, its the local news

[23:09] *** Quits: Lisa_Glysson (KWirc Java IRC Client owned by P.E.E.L. Inc, created by JM Guerra García a.k.a. KennyWood)

[23:09] <Ed_Bremer> gn lisa

[23:09] <Jonathan_Myers> yes, that's the one

[23:10] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Jonathan, i went to edit front page ads, then to local news sponsor ad, then i clicked "change url:

[23:10] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> it shows up now

[23:10] <Jonathan_Myers> how can I do that in the future?

[23:10] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> the same

[23:10] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> each one has instructions,

[23:11] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> you have to click to change the URL, but some are different,

[23:11] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> you will need to go put in the URL you want it ot have in there yet

[23:11] <Jonathan_Myers> ok, so that is another step beyond just uploading the file and refreshing the page?

[23:11] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Jim, is the premium business listing you are referring to the one for first panama investment

[23:11] <Jim> yes

[23:11] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> jonathan, yes, if you go to "edit front page ads"

[23:11] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> each of them has steps

[23:12] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Jim, if you go to boqueteportal.com

[23:12] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> and type investment in the local business search engine  you w ill see your ad

[23:12] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> or panama, or first, or corporation, or boquete,

[23:12] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> any of the words that are in the ad

[23:13] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Jim, that is a nice looking ad

[23:13] <Jonathan_Myers> so the new image won't show up until the url is changed?

[23:14] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> jonathan, that is correct, in the case of that particular ad.  some of them are different, but each of them have a set of instructions on how to use it,

[23:14] <Jonathan_Myers> yes Jim, I second that opinion, I looked at it today.

[23:15] <Jim> Tim -That's the old one.  I'm trying to use a new one.  Look here - http://boqueteportal.com/user_images/First_Pana/First_Pana_Prm.html

[23:15] <Jonathan_Myers> ok, I'm just going to need to make notes so I know where to go for each action I want to do

[23:15] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> jonathan, the notes are already on there, just go to "edit front page ads"

[23:15] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> its by each one

[23:16] <Jonathan_Myers> no, I mean which page of instructions for all of the different actions I will be doing on a regular basis

[23:16] <Jonathan_Myers> until I get familiar with it....lol

[23:17] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Jim, if you want to change your premium listing, go to button #2 on profit control panel, then go to customer management, and then click "edit and view"

[23:18] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> hello danielle

[23:18] <Paulette_Nurse> Hi Danielle

[23:18] <Danielle_Danko> Hi Tim, how are you?  Happy Belated right?

[23:18] <Danielle_Danko> Hi Paulette

[23:18] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> oh thank you danielle

[23:19] <Danielle_Danko> yw

[23:19] <Jim> I used a website creating progrm to make it (mac specific) I uploaded the files to the server but haven't gotten it to load properly. It is on my offers page at the moment and looks like this - http://boqueteportal.com/boquete-panama-specialoffers.html

[23:19] <Jim> Hi danielle

[23:19] <Danielle_Danko> hi Jim

[23:19] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Kelvin, regarding earlier, I did a test of leaving a message on voice mail for businesses in the evening, a small test to 1600 businesses.  Naomi  and Kelly are helping to test it, so far they got 15 free listings, about 20 busiensses called for more information, 4 appointments and it looks liek 2 sales already,

[23:20] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Jim, if you want to change your premium listing, go to button #2 on profit control panel, then go to customer management, and then click "edit and view"

[23:20] <kelvin--brown> great

[23:21] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Their phone was ringing instantly, I hope to have more results for you soon, and more tests,

[23:21] <kelvin--brown> i freed up some time, and i am ready to get focused on building my portal,

[23:22] <Danielle_Danko> I have a question, I have business cards on my rotator, 2 different ones, but for some reason I cant get the one to be on the right or left in the first spaces, can I do this?  They work the way they should in the next slots?

[23:22] <kelvin--brown> And i am working on some of those old ideas that i did not completely followup on

[23:22] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Danielle, I am going to make a control panel to make that easier,

[23:23] <Jonathan_Myers> Tim, if we create a new category, is there a way to link it to one of the existing primary categories, as a sub-category?

[23:23] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Everyone, the government stimulas checks starting going out today

[23:23] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Jonathan, no,

[23:23] <Danielle_Danko> yippie!!

[23:23] <Danielle_Danko> I need it bad!!!!!

[23:23] <Jim> Tim - I've done that - it doesn't load properly.  What is the html?  I tried what you told me last week- leave off the header and body but I get this - http://boqueteportal.com/boquete-panama-specialoffers.html - it is in offers area as it's just easier to edit this area for testing purposes

[23:25] <Jonathan_Myers> so, other than renaming on of the existing buttons, which I don't want to do, the new category doesn't show anywhere except in a search?

[23:25] <Danielle_Danko> Tim, I just wanted to mention that my street signs have been doing well for me.  I have had 2 people enter their own listings, some calls and my awstats of unique viewers has increased alot!!

[23:25] <Jonathan_Myers> *one*

[23:26] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> jonthan, the new categories show under the business list

[23:26] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> the link at the top

[23:26] <Jonathan_Myers> ok

[23:26] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Danielle, that is great news!! How many street signs do you have out there?

[23:27] <Danielle_Danko> well i had 25, a couple of them got stolen and 3 i was told by the next town over to take down, so right now about 19

[23:27] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Jim, if you do not know how to use HTML, I would suggest just using our templates that way you do not have to create your own HTML.  but the only way to change the premium listing is as i said above,

[23:27] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> o change your premium listing, go to button #2 on profit control panel, then go to customer management, and then click "edit and view"

[23:27] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Danielle, that is very good news,

[23:28] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> We had a portal director in florida, jacksonville, use those and said they got good results,

[23:28] <Ed_Bremer> Danielle-- are they lawn signs ?

[23:28] <Danielle_Danko> thanks, i'm getting there

[23:28] <Danielle_Danko> yes, like the realtors use with the metal stakes

[23:28] <Ed_Bremer> ok

[23:29] <Jonathan_Myers> A trick I use is to post free ads for garage sales, then plant a sign at each of them on sale day saying "Featured in Middletownportal.com free classifieds"

[23:29] <Danielle_Danko> there plastic and i spray painted them with the portal name and phone #

[23:29] <Jim> I'm not creating my own html, this program is.  The ad is on the server.  http://boqueteportal.com/user_images/First_Pana/First_Pana_Prm.html  - I just need to know what part of the code to past into the pbl area...

[23:29] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> jonathan, do you drive around to the drive sales to do that?

[23:29] <Jonathan_Myers> yes

[23:30] <Jonathan_Myers> never had anyone refuse to allow me to post the signs

[23:30] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Jim, but that is my point, you are modifying the HTML. You still have to know how to do that.  

[23:30] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Jim, you can edit it, and it has a preview to show you if it is right

[23:31] <Jim> is it not just a piece of the code that needs to be pasted?

[23:31] <Jonathan_Myers> one additional advantage is that I get there before sale time starts, and look over merchandise...cherry pick if I want something.....lol

[23:31] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> no

[23:32] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> jim, you said you are trying to make the ad look like this right,  http://boqueteportal.com/user_images/First_Pana/First_Pana_Prm.html

[23:32] <Danielle_Danko> Tim, I was wondering if I created my own site for dolls that i sell, could that site be listed under the store icon like your wife's

[23:32] <Danielle_Danko> ?

[23:32] <Jim> yes

[23:32] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Danielle, yes, my wifes store icon was just temporary until you replace it

[23:33] <Danielle_Danko> ok, i'll ask more when I get to that.. TY

[23:33] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Jim, to make your ad look like that,  go to button #2 on profit control panel, then go to customer management, and then click "edit and view" then edit it there

[23:33] <kelvin--brown> just a thought,  updating from something i have talked about before

[23:33] <Jonathan_Myers> http://middletownportal.com

[23:33] <Jonathan_Myers> opps, wrong keyboard..lol

[23:33] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Jim, the other option is to use the advanced HTML

[23:34] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Jim, if you want to make it 100% your own HTML, like you see on http://boqueteportal.com/user_images/First_Pana/First_Pana_Prm.html you can start with the advanced HTML box instead of using the templates,

[23:34] <kelvin--brown> semi-live radio:  Process,  have businesses call in, leave 1 to 3 minute free audio instructions, info, general or specific.  Bottom line is if i can average 1 hour worth of data a week, it would take me only one month

[23:34] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Or you can just go edit the current on

[23:34] <kelvin--brown> to have 24 hours of recorded local content.

[23:35] <kelvin--brown> example:  have the local printer leave a tip on the best time of the month to get cards printed.

[23:35] <Danielle_Danko> Tim, I havent had a chance to listen to all of fridays show, but angelica gave me an 866 # for the mass messages.. Is this a sample of what the message will sound like or do you have a sample?

[23:35] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Danielle, that toll free number I gave out on the radio show, and in the meeting last night, was for you to use,

[23:36] <kelvin--brown> or the cheapest time to get multi color cards because someone else is already running cards, and it is cheap to just add u in.

[23:36] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> you can print that toll free number on flyers if you like, so they can call for more information

[23:36] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> go ahead and call and listen to it

[23:36] <kelvin--brown> Kinda like getting remanat ad space or carpet

[23:36] <Danielle_Danko> ok

[23:37] <kelvin--brown> i know people call in if they know there is an add because that is already working for me

[23:37] <kelvin--brown> is an "ad"

[23:38] <Ed_Bremer> Kelvin--Tim said we can use Blog Talk to do a live Swap Shop show or something

[23:39] <kelvin--brown> i will be putting up a page / site that is just like a standard playlist, with paid ads running between the local tips, interviews, public service announcements, etc

[23:39] <Ed_Bremer> ok good

[23:39] <kelvin--brown> Ed, i am just taking it a step further, so i can have more control

[23:40] *** Joins: reno_don (reno_don@KWirc)

[23:40] <kelvin--brown> I will have a lot more 1 - 5 minutes audios, rather than longer interviews.   Interviews i would have to schedule,  but with my approach, the caller, (business owner) can leave a short audio at there convience.

[23:42] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Danielle, you are welcome.  It is going to be advertised nationwide, and when businesses press #1 we will forward their phone number to the local portal director

[23:42] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> don, how are you doing

[23:42] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> And that toll free number you can use on flyers at no cost to you, if you like,

[23:42] <Danielle_Danko> I would like to hear  the message that is being sent to kelly and naomis business prospects..Is that possible?

[23:42] <reno_don> i talk to 300 people today

[23:43] <Danielle_Danko> wow 300 people, great!

[23:43] <Danielle_Danko> thank you tim

[23:43] <Jonathan_Myers> Tim what causes the Local News tabs to be mis-aligned after posting the new ads, I sized it according to the instructions, but the weather module looks scrunched up and the tabs are jumbled?

[23:43] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Danielle, to solicit local businesses via telephone, go to http://yourhometownportal.com/slideshow/one-minute-1000-dollar-sales-lead.html

[23:43] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Jonathan, I assume you are using firefox

[23:44] <Jonathan_Myers> let me check it in IE

[23:44] <Danielle_Danko> thats the 7 cent recording?

[23:44] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Danielle, no, that is not the 7 cent recording, but I seriously doubt you want to work for 7 cents a call

[23:45] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> can someone go go middletownportal.com and see if the home page count will increase, its still set at 1

[23:45] <Danielle_Danko> lol, I want to hear the message that is being played on peoples machine for the telemarketing campaign

[23:45] <Willie> gotta run

[23:45] <Danielle_Danko> gn willie

[23:45] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Danielle, on the message, I tell them to please go put in a free listing in the local portal,

[23:45] <Jonathan_Myers> yes, that is the problem, displays fine in IE

[23:46] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> jonathan, i just did some major changes to get the tabs to work better in firefox, but that is the best i can get it

[23:46] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> it works great in netscape, IE,

[23:46] <Danielle_Danko> by using each individual portal name?

[23:47] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Danielle, yes, what I do is call the business, leave a voice mail message, your phone number is on the caller ID, i give them the domain name of the portal, that it is a community effort, and to please go put in a free listing and then to tell other business owners to do the same

[23:47] <reno_don> when will my name show up on my town portal

[23:47] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Don, I can put that up now, do you have a picture you want me to post with it?

[23:52] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> if you get a picture send it in

[23:52] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Don, I can do them almost immediately, and it takes only 1 night,  

[23:53] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Don, you talked to Kelly today about the campaign right?

[23:53] <reno_don> What is the Nevada Directory?

[23:53] <Jonathan_Myers> that reminds me Tim, I'm not on the Ohio list yet

[23:53] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Danielle, thats from those signs i take it??

[23:54] <Danielle_Danko> Oh, I wanted to mention, I got the ole, "i'm all over the internet already speech today"

[23:56] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> jonathan you are on the ohio list

[23:57] <Jonathan_Myers> for the ad I made, I used a transparent background, and it blends real neat with the news module

[23:57] <Jonathan_Myers> thanx

[23:57] <reno_don> Tim - I am listed under sparks, NV but I bought Reno NV

[23:57] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> jonathan, where is the ad at?

[23:58] <Danielle_Danko> Tim, you know the ads icon?? I know I keep mentioning it.. I know its a problem with all the portals not just me, but the other day it worked, and I was soooooooo excited!!  Then poof it didnt anymore..Was someone working on it?

[23:58] <Jonathan_Myers> Hey Don, be thankful for that, I bought Middletown, Ohio, but everything said "Bayville NJ"

[23:58] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> ok don, i fixed it

[23:58] <Danielle_Danko> Hey thats me Jonathon!

[23:59] <Paulette_Nurse> Hi Angelica, sorry I'm multitasking tonight

[23:59] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Danielle, no, its on my list to get done very soon

[00:00] <Danielle_Danko> I want my picture next to jason lopez

[00:00] <Danielle_Danko> lol

[00:00] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Jonathan, we had to totally strip down the portal and redo it, to get rid of the bayville

[00:00] <Jonathan_Myers> your portal must have been the last one installed before mine, and the  url wasn't changed

[00:00] <Danielle_Danko> oh

[00:00] <Jim> Tim please look at this - http://boqueteportal.com/boquete-panama-specialoffers.html  - the ad is almost there... (scroll down below the dilbert strip) what am I missing?

[00:01] <Jonathan_Myers> I knew there was something drastic going on, because I couldn't access it to post new ads

[00:01] <Danielle_Danko> yeah, that would be a problem

[00:02] <Danielle_Danko> ok, well goodnight everyone!!  I've missed this-this past week..

[00:05] <Jonathan_Myers> wow, didn't realize how fast the time went by, 5:00 AM is going to come awful early......

[00:07] <kelvin--brown> Tim,  for $309, u call a thousand people,  based on your test so far, how many free listings do u project per thousand

[00:07] <kelvin--brown> i thought i saw u post some sample data earlier

[00:07] <kelvin--brown> of course, even one paid annual listing will pay the $300

[00:08] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Kelvin,  I don't have extensive tests, but as I said earlier for naomi and kelly, 1600 business messages left, they had 15 free listings right away, but they had over 20 or 30 businesses call them for more information, and she already has set 4 appointments. the test would have been better but she lost her voice the same night i did the test

[00:08] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> but it looks like she has 2 sales so far already

[00:08] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> you should all listen to the radio show from friday,

[00:08] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Everyone, the radio shows are archived for you to listen to online or to download to your iPod to take on the road with you at http://PortalDirectorRadio.com

[00:08] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> i talked about it

[00:09] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> I think the biggest point is that you can tell businesses you have already contacted 1600 local busineses about the portal

[00:09] <kelvin--brown> so they got about 40 contacts right away

[00:10] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> yes, 20 within the first hour

[00:10] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> you should all listen to the radio show from friday,  i covered it

[00:10] <Jonathan_Myers> Tim, which are the top 3 most active portals in the system?

[00:10] <kelvin--brown> will do,

[00:11] <kelvin--brown> and I should be ready for testing next week.

[00:11] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> jonathan, do you mean the  most traffic, the highest alexa ratings, the most free listings, the most premium listings?

[00:11] <Jonathan_Myers> most premium listings

[00:12] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> the most in the last 30 days, the last year, or all time?

[00:12] <Jonathan_Myers> current active, past year

[00:13] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> well, i have to put that together to know, but, i can tell you that almost all the people I have interviewed on the radio shows are doing very well,
