Your personal website is up and running!!  Below are some pointers on personalizing your website!  

You can view my website and see how it looks...just want to make sure you at least get your name and some contact info on your site!  You can also type whatever you'd like about yourself to show up on your about me page!  Let me know if you have questions or need further help with this! 

How to Personalize your Website 

For people to contact you on your site, you have to "Personalize" it. Just follow these simple steps: 

1. Log on to your regular Virtual Office at www.mythirtyone.com/####. 

2. In the Virtual Office, click on "Profile". 

3. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and you will find a box called "Your Website Information" 

4. In this box, click on "Personalize" 

5. This will bring up a pop-up window where you can set the personalized options for your site. 

A. Name to Show - is the name that will appear at the top of your personal site (you would typically enter your name)

B. My Website Name - this is one word that you can use to name your website - for instance mine is www.mythirtyone.com/amanda but you can also look me up with www.mythirtyone.com/1491  

C. Display Options:  Show Home Phone, Cell Phone, etc - Check any of these boxes and that information will be displayed on your website. 
D. Show Email - This will display your email address on your site. Customers can click on "send email" to send you an email and it will be sent to the email you have listed on your profile page. 

E. Show Picture - If you select this option, you will need to upload an image. To upload an image, go back to the "My Profile" page and click "Upload Photo". 

F. Show My Events - This allows your site to display your events calendar. Parties and other events can be displayed on your online event calendar if you choose. You can also allow 
customers to shop for events displayed in your online event calendar but this takes place under the "Events" tab. 

G. Welcome Message - This is where you can enter your personal message to those visiting your website - they will see this when they click on "About Me" from your website homepage - this is located under your address and picture
Make sure to click on Update Site when you are through so all changes will be saved.

LIST OF 62

What is a list of 62?  The list is for you to write down the names of 62 people you can contact about your exciting new business!  The number 62 is 31 DOUBLED!  Double your Thirty-One business with your list of 62.  Use the F.R.A.N.K. system to think of names to write on your list.  F.R.A.N.K. stands for Friends, Relatives, Associates, Neighbors, and Kids associates (teachers, parents, coaches wife, etc.)

SETTING UP EVENTS ON YOUR PERSONAL WEBSITE:
 

 

Would you like to add your parties to your website calendar and allow your guests to shop online if they can't attend a party? How about hosting an online show? 
 
To add events to your website calendar you will need to login to your back office and choose the tab "Events" -
Select an event type to create: 
Non-Party Event
Party Event
Party Event with Hostess Portal Options
 
I use Non-Party Events for things I want to add to my calendar like vendor fairs, booths or fundraisers I may be doing
Party Event - I typically choose this if I am the host or the hostess is not going to be involved in adding email addresses
Party Event with Hostess Portal Options - this type allows the system to send your hostess an email giving her a login so that she can send out evites herself - more training on this is provided at www.thirtyonetoday.com  under Multimedia
 
*Fill out the event details for the type of event you choose
*Make sure the box is checked that says Show on Your Site
*If this is for a catalog or online show make sure Allow Shopping box is checked
*Whatever address info you place in the top Event Details is what will show up on the evite you send out so if you are doing a catalog or online show instead of a physical address put Catalog Show or Online Show
*Zip code is always the hosts zip code
*Fill out the Hostess Information - if she is going to be assisting with adding email addresses make sure to check the box send login info to hostess,  email responses to hostess should be checked if you want her to receive a copy of the rsvp's - this is a good idea because many times her guests will write her a little note on the rsvp
 
Click update and continue to invitations
*You can choose from 5 different invitations to use - fill in info you would like to use
*Click update and continue to Guest List
*Add email addresses of guests - to preview the evite just use your address
*At bottom of guest list click on Preview Invitations - you will be able to see what the invite looks like which will have wording similar to below:
 
 
Dear Amanda Graves, you have been invited to
