STEP 1 - SET UP YOUR SIMPLEASABC WEBSITE

As a new broker, you are given a FREE website from SimpleAsABC for marketing your AmeriPlan® business opportunity.  To clear up any confusion, SimpleAsABC is a third-party vendor.  They are not a part of our company.  They have designed AmeriPlan® websites for our use. 

You will have the option of upgrading this website as you are setting up your FREE site.  Most people just get the FREE site to start with.  You can upgrade at any time.  You don't have to do it right now.  We will go over the benefits of a Pro-Version site a little later.  First, let's get your FREE account set up:

1.  Go to:  SET UP MY FREE SIMPLEASABC WEBSITE

     Fill in the form: 

• First & Last Name
• Phone Number/Site (This can be changed later, if needed.)
• Phone Number/Members (This can be changed later, if needed.)
• Broker ID # (This was emailed to you.)
• Password
• Email Address (This can be changed later, if needed.)
• New URL (This will be your website address.  Choose wisely.)
• New Email (This will be published on your site. Choose wisely.)
• Your Physical Mailing Address

2.  Click on "Submit Order."

3.  That's it!  You now have an AmeriPlan® website!

4.  Now go ahead and take a look at your new site.  Type your website address into your browser's address bar.  Example:  www._________.simpleasabc.com .  Fill in the blank with the name that you chose.  Then hit "Enter."

5.  After you hit "Enter", you will see your landing page.  This is the page that your prospect's will see.  To enter your site, they will need to fill out the form.  When they fill out the form, you will instantly be notified that someone has entered your site.

6.  Go ahead and fill it out with your information.  Then you will see how it works when a prospect fills out the form.  You will get an email (as the prospect) thanking you for entering the site.  You will also get an email (as the owner of the site) alerting you to the fact that a prospect has entered your site.  Great!  Now you see how that works!

STEP 2 - SIMPLEASABC BACK OFFICE OVERVIEW

Your SimpleAsABC Back Office is where you go to manage your website/account.  You need to be familiar with how this works.  There are a lot of important features in this back office.  Make sure you take the time to get to know your way around there.  Let's go there now:

1. Go to:  SIMPLEASABC BACK OFFICE
2. Log in on the right side where it says, "Existing SimpleAsABC Brokers." 
3. Your ID# is your Broker ID#.
4. Your password is the password you chose when you signed up for the site.  You were emailed this information.
5. Click on "Login."
6. You are now in your SimpleAsABC Back Office. 
7. You will see tabs across the top of the page.  Those are all the different areas you can go.  Once you click on those tabs, you need to click on the links on the left side of the page.  These links will be different for each tab that you click on.
8. The best advice I can give you here is to click on the "My Account" tab first and then click on every link on the left side of the page.  Then read everything!  This is the best and only way to get familiar with everything you have available in your back office.  After you have finished with the "My Account" tab, then go to the "Configuration" tab and click on every link on the left side of the page.  Then read everything!  So forth and so on...
9. You will discover that there are features like:  the ability to change your landing page, marketing tools, and training.  You will also notice you can't get into all of the features because they are for the PRO-Version only.  Now we will go over the difference between the two kinds of accounts:

STEP 3 - SIMPLEASABC FREE SITE VS. PRO-VERSION SITE OVERVIEW

Here I will give you a summary of the difference between the FREE website and the PRO-Version website.  If you decide that it would be beneficial to you to have the PRO-Version site, it is $5.00 for the first month and then $19.99 a month thereafter.  If you want to upgrade your FREE site to a Pro-Version site, you can do that in your SimpleAsABC Back Office. 

Free Website

• You get the FREE website (the one you already set up) to promote the business opportunity.
• Everytime a prospect fills out the form on your landing page and enters into your website, they will be sent a "thank you" email thanking them for visiting your site.
• You will only get ONE email for every prospect who enters your site.  In other words, you will not get an email everytime that prospect re-visits your site.
• You will be able to check the activity on your site under the "Report" tab.
• You can change your landing page.
• You can track your ad campaigns.
• NO Autoresponders.  These are email messages that are already set up to be sent out to your prospects over a period of time. 
• NO Contact Manager.  A contact manager is a tool that shows information on each of your prospects.  Such as:  Name, physical address, email address, phone number, the date they first entered your site, which autoresponder message their on, how many times they visited your site, which pages they viewed, ability to set up a follow-up call, and the ability to enter phone notes from when you spoke to your prospect.  That feature is very helpful since we talk to a lot of people.  There are several more features, but this gives you the general idea.

• NO access to the Power Pack portion of training.

Pro-Version Website

• You get the FREE website (the one you already set up) to promote the business opportunity AND you get a new website to promote the benefits (members).  You can see my website here:  www.roseannolson.onesimplecard.com/40204663 .  Yours would be just like this.  Of course, you can change the landing page if you want and you would give your site a different name where the "roseannolson" is. 
• Everytime a prospect fills out the form on your landing page and enters into your website, they will be sent a "thank you" email thanking them for visiting your site.
• Everytime a prospect enters your site or re-visits it, you will get an email every single time notifying you.
• You can change your landing page.
• You can track your ad campaigns.
• Get all autoresponders.
• Get contact manager.
• Ability to add your picture and bio to your website.
• Ability to send broadcast messages.
• Ability to use the audio feature.
• Able to get all training.

STEP 4 - AMERIPLAN® WEBSITES OVERVIEW

These sites will be FREE to all new brokers beginning March 1, 2005 for 90 days!  The company will automatically set these sites up for you at the time of your enrollment.  You will be emailed the information.  Then it is up to YOU to set-up these sites to be connected to your SimpleAsABC website.  (Directions found below in RED.)

You will actually be given all of the ICP websites (ICP & ICP Plus) for FREE for your first 90 days.  However, the only ones that you need that give you the capability to enroll people online and for them to be able to enroll themselves online are the regular ICP sites (not ICP Plus.)  When the free trial period is over, you can decide if you want to keep all of them or not.  Personally, I only use the regular ICP sites.     

AmeriPlan® offers us three websites called AmeriPlan® ICP (Internet Commerce Package) websites for $15.00 a month.  These sites can be used to promote the business opportunity and the benefits.  The main advantage of having these sites is that you will have the ability to enroll your new brokers and members online. 

Your AmeriPlan® ICP websites will be connected to your SimpleAsABC site.  NOTE:  YOU MUST MANUALLY CONNECT THE AMERIPLAN® WEBSITES TO YOUR SIMPLEASABC WEBSITE.  THE DIRECTIONS TO DO THIS ARE BELOW.  In other words, when your prospects are looking around your SimpleAsABC site, there will be links there to click for more information and to enroll.  When those links are clicked on, that will lead your prospects to your AmeriPlan® websites. (ONCE YOU HAVE THEM SET-UP) So, your prospects have the ability to enroll themselves online, as well. 

Here are my sites so you can take a look at them to see what they look like:

• www.deliveringonthepromise.com/40204663- Just a redirect page.  I don't use this page and it's not on the SimpleAsABC site.
• www.iboplus.com\40204663- Promotes the business opportunity & this is where people can enroll themselves for the business opportunity.
• www.mybenefitsplus.com/40204663 - Promotes the benefits & this is where people can enroll themselves for the benefits.

IMPORTANT! 

(This is for all NEW BROKERS March 1, 2005 and after.)

You are getting the ICP sites for FREE for your first 90 days.  Two of these sites are the sites that are linked/connected to your SimpleAsABC website.  In other words, when a prospect is on your SimpleAsABC site looking around, there are links in those pages for them to click on to get more information or to enroll.  When clicked on, that takes your prospect to your ICP sites, where they can enroll! 

YOU NEED TO SET-UP YOUR ICP SITES TO BE CONNECTED TO YOUR SIMPLEASABC SITE!  Here are the directions:

1.  Login to your SimpleAsABC Back Office:  SIMPLEASABC BACK OFFICE

2.  Go to the "My Account" tab.

3.  Then click on "Personal Profile."

4.  Scroll down the page until you see:

iboplus.com URL:
Enter the last part of your iboplus.com URL. For example, if your iboplus.com website address is http://www.iboplus.com/JohnSmith, please enter JohnSmith in the text field.
mybenefitsplus.com URL:
Enter the last part of your mybenefitsplus.com URL. For example, if your mybenefitsplus.com website address is http://www.mybenefitsplus.com/JohnSmith, please enter JohnSmith in the text field.
deliveringonthepromise.com URL:
Enter the last part of your deliveringonthepromise.com URL. For example, if your deliveringonthepromise.com website address is http://www.deliveringonthepromise.com/JohnSmith, please enter JohnSmith in the text field. 5.  Enter YOUR Broker ID# in those three boxes.  6.  Go to the bottom of the page and click on "Submit." That's it!  Now your ICP sites are connected to your SimpleAsABC site and people can enroll directly from your SimpleAsABC site!   NOTE:  For you to enroll new members or brokers, go to your AmeriPlan® Back Office and click on "Online Applications."  Further directions on this is found on this training site under, "Step-By-Step Guide To Get Members or Brokers."

STEP 5 - AMERIPLAN® BACK OFFICE OVERVIEW

When you enroll as a broker with AmeriPlan®, you have immediate access to your AmeriPlan® Back Office.  You can find it here: AmeriPlan® Back Office. 

To get into the back office, you need your Broker ID# and a password.  Your Broker ID# was emailed to you after you enrolled.  Use the number without the "M."  If you did not enroll online or don't know your Broker ID#, use your Social Security Number with the dashes. 

For the password, use the last four numbers of your Social Security Number.  You can change your password from inside the Back Office.

Once you are in the Back Office, you need to just start clicking on the links and get familiar with everything that is available to you in your Back Office.  There is a lot of information there! 

Make sure to click on all the banners that are there!  The contest banners will tell you how you are doing in each contest and your current status!

For help with this, please call this number:  1-580-431-2706 - Option #5.  This is a detailed call that will help you to get familiar with what is in your back office and how to use it.  Also, it tells you how to enroll new members and new brokers.

STEP 6 - REGISTERING YOUR WEBSITE

Because SimpleAsABC is a vendor site, it has to be registered (approved) with AmeriPlan®.  There is a $5.00 annual fee for a FREE SimpleAsABC site and a $25.00 annual fee for a Pro-Version SimpleAsABC site. 

Once your site is approved, AmeriPlan® will send you an email confirming your site has been approved.  The email will also contain a 5 digit numeric code that you enter into the IBO authorization number box in your SimpleAsABC Back Office.  This is found under the "My Account" tab and then click on "Personal Profile" on the left side of the screen.  Then the Eagleseal of Approval will appear on your SimpleAsABC website.

1. Login to your AmeriPlan® Back Office:  AmeriPlan® Back Office
