URL Shortener – The URL shortener feature has changed and will require attention for affiliates that have active links on certain domains.
- Find all your links that you\’ve used with the URL shortener and go change them.
- If you use any of them in your shortened URL you need to replace it with any of the 4 other options.
- CLICK on it and it will change all your URLs instantly.
“You can still use the long link, and I don\’t think that changes whatsoever. So, save yourself from going through a lot of that aggravation of putting a short link out there all time, you can put the long link underneath a button or in your emails, rather than a short link. Remember, a short link is also a one-step redirect, so that slows things down a little bit.”
- Use the redirect tool inside your affiliate which will put Builderall cookies on a funnel.
- Use the redirect tool. Go to a third party like Link Wizard, and you can shorten that link through like wizard. You can always change the link that\’s inside that short link.” ~ Chris Chesar
New Plans – The details for the new plans that will be coming soon have yet to be released. The inside scoop indicates we may see the new plans released as soon as next week.

“On every one of my websites, I usually use the left side of it for advertising. I\’ll put the banner there. And with the link to the actual funnel. Once anybody clicks on it, I get the lead. It is an easy way to promote.” ~ Sparta Chris
Email Funnel – We all know about all the different kinds of other funnels that we have inside of Builderall. Did you know that you can actually have an email funnel?
“The Product Launch Funnel … One of the funnels that we have in the back office is actually dropped through email, a sequence of emails.” ~ Terri Stevenson
Warming Up a New Domain for Sending Emails – When you create a new domain and begin to send campaigns with MailingBoss, you first must warm up your list and get your open rate established. Here is what the leaders have to say about this important aspect of digital marketing.
“To warm up a brand new domain, I would get my family members to open up my emails and respond to my emails, just to get that thing warmed up. That way I know that it\’s not going to land up in the spam folder.” ~ Jacky De Klerk
“I create a mail for each search engine and go to incognito, and opt in. Then I go through the emails and respond as myself and open them. That\’s how I prime it and raise my email delivery score.“ ~ Tyree Thomas, Jr.
“So it\’s a combination of a lot of things, but the most important thing is the beginning of the first email. So on the first email, I don\’t send out any links. There\’s no links whatsoever, no links to anything, I\’ll actually ask people a question in the first email to get them to respond. And what that does is that increases your domain reputation straight away if people are opening and then sending a reply back. It says to Gmail, it says, all the other, or all the other inboxes out there that this is someone that you want to receive stuff from so that first email those first few emails are so important as why I specifically don\’t include any email any links in my first few emails and asked that question in the very first email so there\’s tons that I could go into on short, and probably the best answer that I can give you is those first few emails really count.” ~ James Neville-Taylor
WhatsApp Integration – Builderall released the WhatsApp tool, and it has the potential to change the way many entrepreneurs engage with their community. If you have yet to explore the power of this integration, our #1 affiliate, James Neville-Taylor shares his reasons why you should.
“I\’m really looking into WhatsApp at the moment. WhatsApp is huge in Brazil and the Spanish speaking countries. I\’m looking into WhatsApp funnels and being able to get people to subscribe to our email list. With WhatsApp, if you can get people\’s phone number and their WhatsApp the open rate skyrockets to like 70 80%, so I\’m really looking at ways how I can implement the WhatsApp tool with the WhatsApp autoresponder in my funnels in my systems to be able to skyrocket engagement and open rate.” ~ James Neville-Taylor
Consider Gaming Platforms for Promoting – Do you love gaming? Put your game-time on the map and plan a marketing strategy to include this HUGE niche of users who need Builderall!
“Not just WhatsApp either. Telegram (we\’ve got the telegram bot). There\’s other platforms like Discord and other places where you can drive people.” ~ James Neville-Taylor
“In my gaming community we have a lot of people who are asking for websites and I\’m actually tapping into them … and it is a multi-million-dollar industry out there. For you affiliates that are looking for clients … that\’s another niche!” ~ Sparta Chris
SMS Marketing – Our leaders respond to a great question from the live meeting comments.
“SMS messages score a higher open rate than WhatsApp. You\’ve got to be careful with it. SMS is a very personal means of communication so you need to make sure that they explicitly know that you\’re going to send them SMS messages when they opt in. It is very effective when used the right way. When used the wrong way it can be very, very damaging as well.” ~ James Neville-Taylor
“You have to put that little disclaimer saying that you are an affiliate, as well, in terms of SMS for my company.” ~ Sparta Chris
“If you\’re going to have an event. You don\’t have to build a whole entire website all around the product. It can\’t be just one event.” ~ Terri Stevenson

just to let everybody knows sometimes, as, as you may know if, unless you\’re brand new, a lot of our software and features, updates get deployed late on Thursday evenings, so sometimes you\’ll notice these changes appear like by the weekend during the weekend in your account, depending where you are in the network. And that means that there might be a delay for us to find them. Yeah, come out and then report them to you. So if you notice things like that that pop up, you might see it before we even get a chance to see it and explore it ourselves too
KNOWLEDGEBASE SEARCHES: Here is a tip for new users! Don\’t search for answers in the Builderall Knowledgebase using complete questions and lots of words. Our Knowledgebase search feature works best if you focus on the main keyword of the topic you are searching.
