Please read through these instructions before using the ELP program.

PLEASE BE AWARE that with the new upgraded program, if your SafeList stores or saves your previous message until you manually change it, this version of Ezy-List Pro will APPEAR to wipe out an existing message to avoid sending it during the TEST run. It does not actually wipe it out, so don't panic if you see this happening.

Okay, let the fun begin...

Download the ELP demo file (You will need winzip to open the zip file).
Open the zip file and double click on "Install_EzyListPro_DEMO_x.x.exe" (x.x is version number).



Click the OK button to proceed.



Click the Setup button to proceed.



After this point, ELP will be installed successfully to c:\EzyListPro

Go to your Start menu button on lower left corner of your screen.



Select Run.. (from Start menu).



From the Run dialog box, type in C:\EzyLostPro\EzyListProDEMO.exe (or browse to the same file).
Click OK.



At this point, you'll see a splash screen while the ELP software program initializes..
The ELP F.A.Q. page opens. You need to be connected to the Internet when using ELP software.

Click on Activate! and select "Activate ELP" from the menu.



Once ELP is activated, you'll see a login screen similiar to below..
In demo mode, leave the Username, Password, and ELP Owner Name fields alone.
Click the login button to proceed to the next step.



A message box will appear that says, "Activated! You can now use the Action-Start menu." 
Click OK.

The next step is to add your safelists..

The rest of the instructions in this FAQ will use SpiderMailer Safelist as the sample Safelist to show you how to add a list to your Safe-List file. But they work for every Safelist you choose to add, in exactly the same way.

If you are a member of SpiderMailer Safelist, Click the LOGIN link.

Otherwise click the SIGNUP link and follow the List owner's directions.

Then come back to Ezy-List Pro and click the LOGIN link. (This goes for any Safelist you belong to or want to join that's Ezy-List Pro approved.)

The SpiderMailer Safelist will open in a new window in front of Ezy-List Pro.

HOW TO ADD SpiderMailer to your Safe-List file.

Point your mouse back to the Ezy-List Pro page and open the menu Safe-List, at the top left-hand corner of the page. Select "Add Safe-List."

The "Add a Safe-List" page will open.  Where it says "Beginning URL" copy/paste the URL you see on the SpiderMailer Login page. For SpiderMailer the URL in the address box should end up looking like this:

http://www.global-lists.com/mle/login.php?list=SpiderMailer&id=1606011897

Make sure you don't have "http://" in the address box twice (remember: it's already in the box by default, so if you copy the whole URL from the site page, make sure you paste OVER the http:// in the box to get rid of the default.

Click SET (the button at the end of the URL box).

A replication of the Login page for SpiderMailer will appear with a message box that says, "Is this the begin page you wish to start recording?" Click Yes. If you are not at the Account Login page for the Safelist you want to add, click NO and start over. YOU MUST BEGIN THE RECORDING OF THE SAFELIST YOU WANT TO ADD WITH THE LOGIN PAGE FOR EACH SAFELIST. You will get an instruction message box telling you how to proceed.

Read it carefully.

If you understand exactly what it's telling you to do, then proceed without further ado and forget about the rest of this FAQ (except the part that says Enjoy Life!)  If you are confused, then follow along here, as you add SpiderMailer to your Safe-List file.

Don't worry if you forget the following instructions at any time in the future, you will find brief directions at the top of each page in the program instructing you on how to proceed.

OKAY, here we go.

Point your mouse inside the "User Name Box" and left-click once. A message prompt will appear that asks, "Is this where you enter your user name?" If you have your mouse in the right place, click "YES." Otherwise click "No" and hit the Start Over button above you to the right-hand side of the page.

Click your mouse once again into the User Name Box and type in your user name for this Safelist.

NOTE: The program is not yet functioning to answer a "NO" question. If you click "NO," the program will not understand your instruction. So if you think you're in the wrong place, click the "START OVER" button (located higher up on the page), to be safe. This will bring you back to the "Add a Safe-List" page and prompt you to enter the SpiderMailer Login page URL again.

If this happens repeat this step (above) again, this time with your mouse clicked inside the User Name Box.

Repeat these steps, but this time point and click your mouse inside the Password Box. You'll be prompted with a similar message asking if this is where you enter the password. After you say "Yes," click inside the box again and enter your password.

Click the Login button. You'll see the familiar screen that lets you "mail to the Safelist." Click on the "mail to list" link. NOTE: each Safelist will use slightly different words for this function. Just click on the link that gets you to the page where you can send your message to the List.

When the page opens where you can write your message, click your mouse in the "Subject" box. You will get a prompt message asking "Is this where you enter the Subject?" Click "Yes." You will see a warning message, telling you NOT to enter a subject. Click OK. Follow the instructions as the program tells you to. DO NOT ENTER A SUBJECT HEADER.

Next click your mouse in the Message. You will get a prompt that asks, "Is this where you enter the Message Body?" Click "Yes." Again, you will receive a warning NOT to enter any text. Click OK. Follow the instructions as the program tells you to. DO NOT ENTER YOUR MESSAGE YET.

You'll need to click on the "Send Mail" button next..



Ignore this, and click ok..



You are almost done with adding your first Safelist to your new automation tool (Hurrah!) Look up to the right-hand corner of the page and Click the DONE button.

You will be prompted to enter the User Name and Password that you use for the SpiderMailer Safe-List. Enter the exact same User Name and Password that you used when you logged in. The User Name and Password are case sensitive, so enter them EXACTLY as you normally enter them. Click APPLY.

A TEST button will appear. Click the TEST button and WATCH CLOSELY to see that the program has recorded your correct LOGIN information and that it knows exactly where it has to go, in order to enter your Subject Header and Message Text.

Regardless of whether you have an existing Subject Header or whether this space is blank, you will be asked, "Was a Subject Placed in the Subject Field?" If it was empty when you started, you should now see a placeholder that reads, "This is the subject." Click "YES" if you see text in the Subject Header. Otherwise click "NO," and the program will tell you it failed and prompt you to start over by sending you back to the Add a Safe-List page.

NOTE: Being sent back to the beginning is not a sign of failure. The program goes back to the beginning to make sure it is recording ALL of your steps accurately, otherwise it will fail, and then you will be annoyed! So be patient if it tells you to start over, or if you feel you need to because you got lost or confused. After the first couple of times of doing this process, it will be an absolute breeze and you'll realize what a godsend Ezy-List Pro is in your busy life!

Okay, the same step will happen with the Message text area as Step 18 except this time you'll be asked, "Was a Message Placed Placed in the Message Field?" If it was empty when you started, you should now see a placeholder that reads, "This is the message." Click "YES" if you see text in the Message space. If there's nothing there, click "NO," and the program will tell you it failed and prompt you to start over by sending you back to the Add a Safe-List page.



This message will show up next.. just ignore and click ok..

If you are satisfied that the program has accurately captured all the moves that you go through, to login and create and send your message to the Safelist, click the SAVE button at the top of the page. Give the file a name that you will remember. You will get a message telling you that your Safelist has been added. Click OK.

NOTE: The program now remembers the last User Name and Password that you used to create the previous record. So when you go to add the next Safelist, at the place where it prompts to you apply your User Name and Password again (SEE Step 17), it will show what you recorded the time before. If you use a different name or have a different password, clear the information from the boxes and enter the correct information. This information should ALWAYS match what your login information is for each Safelist that you want to add.

NOW IT SHOULD BE A PIECE OF CAKE TO KEEP ADDING MORE SAFELISTS TO YOUR FILE! <big smiley faces should be breaking out about now>

All rightie...more than halfway there!!

Go to the next menu, "Advertisements" and Click once. Select "Ad AD." This part of the program is self-explanatory. Pick a name/title for your ad.



Type in your Subject Header and your Message, and Save. If you want to modify your Message at any time after you've saved it, select "Modify Ad" from the same "Advertisements" menu. You may write and save as many Ads as you wish.

When you're ready to do your mailing, go to the "Action" Menu and select Start Mailing.



Simply click ok on the next window (if ad looks good to you) to begin mailing!

If you don't have any Ads in your Ad file, the program will tell you that you haven't created any Ads yet! Smart program, eh?; it won't send out a blank Ad, that would annoy your List owner! If you have more than one ad, you'll have to select the one you want to use. Then that ad will be sent to all the Safelists in your file. You will see the Login pages for each Safelist open, exactly as they did when you were setting them up in your Safe-List file. The program will be done in a few minutes, depending on the speed of your Internet connection.

The "Options" menu gives you a choice of skins to personalize the look of your program and allows you to set the timeout for connecting to your Web Pages.

And that's it, pretty much. Isn't this the coolest program you ever saw for this type of task? Doesn't it totally take the grind out of everything and allow you to feel your dreams of the Bahamas or the Himalayas--whatever takes your fancy--come right up close with their invition to you to go visit them? Now, with Ezy-List Pro, it will be possible to take that vacation you've been looking forward to. Think of all the extra money you start earning because you're reaching more people more quickly and all the free time you'll start finding you have, since Ezy-List Pro is doing all of your listwork for you!

Enjoy your new Ezy-List Pro© Program! ENJOY Life!
