Make Money Charge your clients what you like. All revenue belongs to you. 18 / 268 For more information, send an email to partnerships@sendible.com White Label FAQs 1. How much does it cost for each client we add as a user on the white label? As a white label partner, you get 30% off Sendible's standard pricing. 2. Can we can have full control of what our users/clients do with the platform? Yes. You can manage permissions for each client. You can also hide/show certain tabs and services. You can easily create new client accounts and disable or delete old ones. 3. If one client wants his own name in the "published via" line on Facebook and Twitter, is the cost 170 USD for the white label too? It would be 170 USD less the 30% discount you get as a white label partner. So, you would be able to resell this to your clients and the cost to your would be 119 USD. 4. How long does it take to get the white label ready for use after we give you the final OK? It takes 5 - 7 days to setup the white label site once we've received the setup fee. 5. Can we use your servers but with our domain name? Yes, you simply set the A-record for your domain (or preferably, subdomain) to point to our servers and we host the site for you. We don't provide any public-facing pages besides the login page, so we recommend setting up a subdomain e.g. social.mysite.com and you can then manage the main domain. 6. Is there going to be a training program or something like this for the use of the platform? We can offer you a 1-hour training session once the site is live. This is 100 USD. 7. I've read that the cost for the white label is 995 USD. Is this a one time fee? How can the payment be done? That's a one-time setup fee. Payment can be made via Paypal. We'll send you an invoice once you've completed the form at http://bit.ly/sendiblewhitelabel. 8. Is there a contract we have to sign for the white label? What's the support for the white label? Yes, there is a service agreement. You would handle the first-line support and can forward any support requests to support@sendible.com. We aim to respond within 24 hours for our white label partners. Sendible Tokens To purchase Sendible Tokens, click Add Tokens.

I'm looking to be able to schedule Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook posts and wondered which pricing plans include this?? You'd probably be best to start off with a Marketer plan, which you can always upgrade/downgrade later if necessary. If you send one message to 3 social networks, it would be counted as 3 message credits. All our plans allow you to send to Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook etc. Some plans like the solo say they only cover a number of social networks. I'd just like to know which plans cover which networks. All of our plans cover all of the networks. So, with any of the plans you upgrade to, you'll get access to all of the social networks we support. What's the best plan for a freelance Social Media marketer? We have 2 options: 21 / 268 Option 1: You could go with a Business or Enterprise account. The Business account allows you to have up to 4 clients initially and the Enterprise account allows 8. You can always add more clients as you bring them on. Your clients can log into Sendible and manage things themselves or you can manage things for them. Option 2: You could go for a White Label. This is a stand-alone, rebranded version of Sendible with your own logo, design and URL. For more info, see http://sendible.com/white-label.

What is Geotargeting? Geotargeting in geomarketing and internet marketing is the method of determining the geolocation (the physical location) of a website visitor and delivering different content to that visitor based on his or her location, such as country, region/state, city, metro code/zip code, organization etc. Targeting specific fans using Facebook In Facebook, users disclose a lot of relevant information about themselves – for example their age, gender, location, work history, language etc. As a Facebook Page administrator, you have the ability to deliver content that's only relevant to specific fans. For example, you may be promoting an event in Los Angeles and only want your promotion to be visible to your fans located near LA who speak a specific language. An example of a targeted message could be: “Free comedy tonight at the Spanish Comedy Club in downtown LA.” And you could target this directly to all fans who are most likely to be engaged by it. For example all people 202 / 268 in Los Angeles who speak Spanish. How do I do this in Facebook? In Facebook, you would select the customize option just before you post your update to your fans. Here you can decide exactly which fans your post will be visible to. Targeting Specific Fans using Sendible To target specific fans select Edit next to Geotargeting. This will allow you to select fans according to regions. You will then be able to select who your posts will be visible to. · Countries - select a country from the drop-down list · Regions - select regions from within that country · Languages - select the languages of fans you wish you target. · Once you have made your choices, select Add and you will be able to view your selected criteria in the box on the right. · You can remove any of your selected criteria by selecting it and clicking Remove. 203 / 268 · Once you have made your selections, click Ok. · You will be able to view your targeted fans on the Add Settings page, example below To post to different fans, you can add the same Facebook Fan Page multiple times and just change the “geotargeting” options each time.

A negative sentiment is indicated by a red dot. A neutral sentiment is indicated by a grey dot. What is a Facebook Wall Post? A Facebook Post allows you to post a single update to Facebook. This appears in all your friends' newsfeeds. What does the yellow star mean? In My Reports, you will see a yellow star on some of your messages. This means that your message has achieved above average engagement score. What is the number of services I could add to my account with Pay-AsYou-Go Pricing? We recommend upgrading to a monthly plan, such as the Solo plan. If you're on Pay-as-you-go, you can only add 4 services to your account. See Upgrading for more information. I can't post to facebook fan page, it keeps getting bounced. This means that the session key used by Sendible to post to Facebook has become invalid. This usually happens if your Facebook password has changed or you've edited your privacy settings. You'll need to reconnect your Facebook account to Sendible. You can do this by following the steps below: 1. Go to Add/Edit Services 2. Select My Services 3. Edit the Facebook account that failed. 4. Click Switch Facebook User and reconnect your account to Facebook. 5. Save your settings. Why are Bulk Facebook Wall Posts only reaching about 20 contacts? Facebook has a limit for the number of wall posts you can send in a 24 hour period. Once this limit has 261 / 268 been reached, Facebook will block your account from posting updates until the next 24 hour period. This is why only 20 people got the post. To get around this, we suggest splitting up your 200 Facebook contacts into 10 groups of 20 and schedule posts 1 day apart. Why are my posts being sent early? By default, Sendible automatically detects your timezone when you sign in. It takes this information from your browser. If you signed in from a different timezone, then all the posts you schedule from that time on, will be in the new timezone which may be why your posts are sending at the wrong time. To fix this, please go into My Profile and under Time Settings, select the correct timezone. Also, be sure to uncheck Automatically detect timezone so that this doesn't happen again. What are the image sizes for newsletter template #9? The large image is 600px x 300px and the smaller ones are 124px x 91px. If I send a group email to 1,000 people does is count as 1 message credit or 1,000? An email to a group containing 1,000 people counts as 1,000 message credits.
