REVISION 1.1 JAN22 Directions for Worldcast mailer These directions are for sending follow up letters. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND PRINT THIS OUT FIRST. PLEASE READ ALL OF THESE DIRECTIONS BEFORE YOU USE THE MAILER. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TEXT FILE PREPARATION OF FREE MEMBER INFO In order to make the mailer send a Personalized letter, you will need to create tags that will add the personal info into the mailing. This will explain how to create the tags that will be created when you import the member list. first open notepad, and then type in: name,id#,email <-----include this in your .txt file, put their info right under it like as in the example below. These create the tags: name, id and email in the mailer program. Each .txt file has to have these at the top in order to create the tags. Right under these tags put the member info in the same order as in the example below. EXAMPLE: name,id#,email John,JD123456,johndoe@yourmail.net Jane,JN234567,janedoe@hermail.net Jim,JB345678,jimbob@hismail.com etc etc. You may want to group your free members into months as I do or whatever works for you. Save these text files in your Worldcast folder. Create a new folder and call it free members. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL Worldcast. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Before you go into Worldcast mailer, we are going to modify all of your follow-up letters. Open up each of your letters, and wherever you see a place for your free members name put the following tag there: [Name]. Do the same for the ID#, [id]. There is no need to modify any of YOUR info with tags, ONLY the Free Member that will receive the letter gets the tags. EXAMPLE: http://www.clubshop.com/cgi/ppreport.cgi?alias=[id] and... Hello [Name], have you seen your downline...... NOTE: you can create any number of different tags depending on what you need, but for DHS Free Members, the [Name] and [id] tags should be enough. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NOTE: See step #14 below before you do an actual mailing. You should now have Worldcast installed, so double click on the icon to start the program. The first window that appears is the "Configuration Wizard". Leave the checkbox checked and click on NEXT. note: do not check or uncheck anything else in each window, only what I direct you to. 1- enter your full name, and the email address that you would normally use for your FREE MEMBERS and click NEXT, 2- pick TEXT and click NEXT, 3- pick DNS and click NEXT, 4- click on the detect button. You should see a series of numbers appear in the empty field. They should look something like this: [123.45.678.90 (example)]. Click NEXT, 5- click on SEND and click NEXT, 6- "import from a file" and click NEXT, 7- the next screen is your import screen. First open the "files of type" field at the bottom and click on .TXT. Now search in the "look in" field at the top for the .txt files with your free members. When you find the folder with your free member .txt files, highlight the one you want to send a follow up letter to and click on "OPEN". The next window is the "import window". Put email for the email field and name for the name field and click OK, 8- next click YES, then OK, then Finish. You have now imported your FREE MEMBERS for the follow-up letter you are going to send. NEXT STEP........ 9- Now you have to import the follow-up letter. Along the top of the mailer window you will see in the top left corner "file". Open file and scroll down to "import" and click on "message". Click "save" to save the project. I recommend you save it in the Worldcast folder and make a new folder called "member mailings". Save it in this folder. Don't forget to give it a file name, like todays date. 10- The next window is the import message window. Most likely your letters are .txt files so under "files of type", click on .txt. Under "look in" find the letter you want to send and highlight it. Click open. Great, now you have just imported the letter. 11- Now type in your "subject". 12- For the body of the message, you need to verify that the tags are in the letter. Double check this. EXAMPLE: http://www.clubshop.com/cgi/ppreport.cgi?alias=[id] and... Hello [Name], it's Wayne, have you seen your downline...... (Get used to the tags and what they look like). You will need to modify any follow up letters with these tags. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT MAKE ANY MISTAKES ! YOU CANNOT UNDO THIS ONCE YOU CLICK ON THE SEND BUTTON. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 13- Once you are certain you have everything perfect, you may click send. It is the BLUE right-pointing ARROW at the top. 14- MOST IMPORTANT !!!! when I was testing this mailer out for the first time, I did up a test .txt file with my own e-mail addresses in it so I could test it out and get used to it first. I Really Recommend this. It does not take long to do and can save you a lot of grief and embarassment. You want to look professional, so take the time and test the mailer before you actually use it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
