Archive for the ‘support’ Category

When we originally started PREP, it was a simple multiuser platform that was functional. Over the time, we have worked hard to make it work hard for you. In doing that, not everything that we do is free. While PREP is a premium site in itself, we now have many tools that a user can get that will separate them for all other sites. In this article, I am going to point out all of the upgrades that are available and how they can help give your site a more professional look versus the normal blog look. First off, lets take a look at all of the Premium Services that we offer and then we will break them down.

Now, let’s get back on track and go over the premium side of this network. I am going to take each of the premium services and explain how they can be used and point you in a direction in which you can see them in use. so, without much more ado, let’s dive in.

Ghost writers – $10 per 200 to 500 word articles w/pictures

Many of our members are inundated with paperwork that keeps them from being able to blog on a regular basis. One of the ways to combat this and being able to post articles that pertain to your neck of the woods is to hire a “Ghost Writer”. This is a person that writes an article for your personal use in how you see fit. The article will show to be authored by you and will appear when and where you want it to. While the content is provided by us, the subject matter comes from you.

converting landing page – $50

Some of our members approached us a few months back and asked if we could give them a “more professional look”. Digging in a little deeper, we understood that they were wanting a site that would allow for their readers to land on a page other than the blog. We answered the call by being able to move the blog to a page component and still be able to have it pull into the main sites feed. Welcome pages is what this has become commonly know in our world and you can view one by clicking here.

Sidebar upgrades – $25

Once again, some of our members that wanted that professional look wanted to see a more appealing sidebar. Where as many sites have nothing more that a dot in the sidebars beside the widget name, our members wanted some sort of image. This can also be viewed on the Test Account’s main page by clicking here.

PPLIB (professional picture, logo, and information banner – $25

Once we started working on these types of upgrades, we thought that it would be a great idea to build a sidebar banner that would have all of the contact information as well as a logo of the member’s company for easy disclosure. You can view one of these by clicking here and looking on the right hand side bar.

Category Sub Navigation Bar – $50

The last thing that we were asked to create was a category navigation bar where a potential client would be able to access the categories quickly and easily. You can view this upgrade by click here and looking under the main navigation bar just under the header.

Additional Headers – $50

About a month ago I was approached by a member with an unusual request; they wanted to know if they could have multiple headers.  I went to work on seeing if I could write the code to make this work on one of my outside sites first. Once I knew how to make that work, I then decided to try it out on the test account. If you click on the main page of the test account and then click here, you will see that we have been able to make that work as well.

Upgrade Package – $125

Once we established the “more professional look” upgrades (converting the landing page, sidebar upgrades, PPLIB, and the category sub nav bar) we decide that we would package them all together and offer them for a discount of $25.

Flash Banners – $100

We have been busy creating sites that have multiple headers, so we decide to create an option to have a flash header. You can view one in action by clicking here.

Page Templates with dedicated sidebars – $50

Now we are able to offer pages that have specific sidebars that are dedicate to these pages. Once the template is built, it can be used for a variety of pages.

Local Market Information Pages – First page free, each additional page $15

These pages are created with a wealth of local information. You can view one by clicking here.

Postlet/VFlyer Service – $25 per listing

We are now offering a service where we will create your Poslets/Vflyers and post them to the sites that you want. We will also post them on a page on your site as well as create them as a post. We will also maintain the flyer until you tell us to remove it. This way, you are not faced with it expiring.

Navigation Sidebar – Call for Pricing

With R & D Art, we have come face to face with having to create this type of navigation. You can view this by clicking here.

Advance IDX Implementation – Call for Pricing

IDX Solutions typically have many tools available for them. However, in the case that they do not, you might want to have neighborhoods created for you. If this is the case, then click here and then click on the two links at the bottom of the page to see what we can do for you.
