How can I change the videos in my Massive Playbook™ video drills?

Your Massive Playbook™ drills section is set up to link seamlessly to YouTub. By creating your own YouTube channel, you can have COMPLETE control over your Playbook video library. Simply follow the steps below to setting up a YouTube account, then email or notify our team. We will need your YouTube link. Once we establish the connection, your YouTube account will be tied directly to your Playbook!
However, you can make a channel easily. Here’s how...

Anything you add or change in your YouTube account, will then dynamically be changed in your Playbook. Once you have established a YouTube account, please shoot me the link, and you will be able to manage it from there!

Bad Email Culprits!!! (Can Not Save List and BAD emails)

Are you having trouble with your email lists? Are you getting the "Not Saved...Bad Email" error message?
Look for these troublesome characters within your email lists...

The 'TradeMark' logo (TM) - This will sometimes appear within your list. This is a BAD email. You must kill this email from your list!

The 'Apostrophe'(') - Sorry, NO apostrophes allowed in email names. You must kill this email!

The 'double-comma' separating lists (,,) - sometimes a double-comma may appear after an email address... One of them MUST be removed. NO double commas after email addresses, or separating email addresses! ALSO... BE SURE YOUR EMAIL LIST DOES NOT END WITH A COMMA!

The 'extra space' (  ) - Occasionally a double space at the end of an email list, or within an email list can cause problems. Kill the extra space!

Other known culprits include: ALL CAPS, "?" and other obscure characters that do not belong in email addresses.

I left my computer, when I returned the message I was composing disappeared

Q: Upon returning to my computer after leaving for an hour, I resumed typing my message to my team. (My Massive Playbook™ email portal/site was still up so I thought I was fine.) However, when I went to save my message before sending, I was bounced out of the system. I though as long as my Massive Playbook™ screen was still on my screen I was okay to compose my letter.

A: After approximately 15minutes, Massive Playbook™ built in safety feature will bounce you out of your account. You may NOT get an onscreen warning. (This feature is to prevent anyone else from gaining access to your private message or email lists).

IF YOU PLAN on walking away from your computer for a long duration, you must SAVE the message that you are composing ("Save" button below messaging panel). Then log-out. Next time you log back in, your message will appear, as you had last left it. You can then resume typing/composing.

NOTE: For longer compositions, you can also type and save messages in a WOrd program, and import them into your email with a simple copy and paste.

Ad sales for Massive Creative

A few questions regarding Massive Creative as I am literally wanting to start with a fresh, clean slate.

1.  How is the payment set up?  By number of clicks on ads or email?  Number of contacts?  Sales from ads?
$75 per ad placement. Ads are usually sold one-time for the season (like an ad journal). You can sell as many ads as you would like, as ads rotate with every email. So every ad gets equal visibility. Ads typically see from $200-$350 per ad. We can give you ad sponsor discount codes if you wish to sell ads below $350. The banner ad (ad above the small squares) is a premium position, and usually sells for $1250, as it has best visibility and never changes. We have discount codes for this ad sponsor as well.

MP program is MOST successful when integrated into your existing fundraising program. Please see the attached sample (IRSA Soccer) from a very successful club. This club raised nearly $15,000 with MP.

Below are 2 helpful links regarding ad sponsor sales...
Overview

How to sell ad sponsors

2.  How can we make the message look more like a Constant Contact communication?  I.e., page/line breaks, photo formatting?  I can provide an example if necessary.
The template we provide is standard (fixed). Unfortunately it can not be altered. However, it is FREE to use... Along with the FREE SMS!!

3.  Can we remove the one hour message creation limit?  This is something I would like to edit throughout the month as things come up and would rather not be restricted to using in a crunch.
Unfortunately, for privacy protection and bandwidth, the 1hr restriction must remain. However, many users first create their messages in a text creation tool (MS Word, Text Edit... Or even standard email)... Then paste into the message field.

Please see this helpful link about pasting from MS Word.

Login/Admin challenges when working in the web tool

It's possible that a coach's session can timeout while editing their site.

It's also possible that there can be an intermittent issue with your internet connection that can disrupt your session. 
In this case, please just log back into your site and continue.

When I cut/paste my url, I am not recognized as an administrator

Q:  Why can I not "cut and paste" links into my web builder, and be recognized as an administrator?

A. For security reasons, in order to work within web builder as an administrator, you must first "LOG IN". If you cut/paste a URL into your browser, you will always be recognized as strictly a 'viewer' (who is unable to make changes/updates)... until you log in as Administrator.


Thank You!

Occasionally, I receive the ‘ADMINISTRATION’ button when working in the application

Q: When I am logged in I am recognized by both email and web builder platform. However, occasionally, I receive the ‘ADMINISTRATION’ button. In this case, when trying to log in I am unable to.

A. This may happen on occasion. If there is a 'temporary' issue with automatically logging in, please simply click on "administration" link and 'manually' log into your site. If you continue to experience difficulty, please contact us at info@massiveplaybook.com.

Sorry for any inconvenience. We are ALWAYS looking to get feedback and improve our system.

Thank You! - MP Team

    •    Click Options in the upper-right, and select Mail Options.
    •    Click Filters.
    •    See anything that might be capturing the mail you’ve been looking for?

Are some browsers faster than others?

Yes! Safari is typically much faster than Firefox, when using Massive Playbook™ -MP Team

My login time seems very slow

If you are managing extremely large lists, your login time may be longer than usual. Below is a helpful video link. - MP Team

I have registered, but I can not get into Playbook.

After you register (filling out all of the fields in the registration column, then choosing submit), look for an email confirmation in your inbox: "No Reply from Massive Playbook."

Inside this email, you will find a "link" that you must click to confirm your registration.

Once clicked and confirmed, you can then enter your login info (top left of screen) and you will be permitted to begin using Playbook. -MP Team
