Q. Is IEN an agency? Answer: IEN is not an agency. IEM is an internet advertising venue for Independents. Q. Who can advertise on MyIEN.com? Answer: Eligle advertisers must be 1)at least 18 years of age, 2)an independent provider, escort, model, actor,photographer, or other independent entertainer, 3)the owner of a personal website, 4)willing to network with us by exchanging links & banners on your personal website. Q. I'm not computer literate. How do I exchange banner/links with MyIEN.com? Answer: Have your webmaster or web designer go to http://myien.com/banners.html for instructions on how to copy our banners and insert them into your website. Q. What type of advertising does IEN sell? Answer: Basically ,IEN sells advertising space (similar to the Yellow Pages) on the internet in the form of ad websites, at very reasonable rates. We intend for our ads to be less costly, but classier than other similar services(eros, wce, etc.) that currently exist. We feel that these other ad services are overcharging, while making huge profits sharing your ad space with other types of advertisers. We will never place anyone else's advertising on your personal ad website. This means that your bio, photos, etc. will have the full attention of prospective clients who visit your ad. In the future, as we grow, we may start selling advertising that would appear only on our own website's main page. Q. Do you offer any free samples? Answer: In exchange for a link/banner listing on your personal website, we do provide a free listing. We also offer free thumbnail ads - 1 - 160x160 pixel photo, short bio, stats and an email link to you. However, the paid for full page ads, and in particular the Featured Entertainers, do draw the most attention. Q. Can I make changes and updates to my ad, myself? Answer: No. Each ad website is custom made to suit the information and photos supplied by the advertiser. This customization feature, while adding to our workload, is what makes IEN different from the rest of the ad space resellers. Your page will be customized to give you the most attractive and alluring site possible. IEN offers free photo exchanges, once every 30 days. Information updates can be requested, at any time. Q. How do the clients contact me? Answer: Clients can contact you two ways, depending on your preference and screening needs: 1. They can contact you by filling out the Contact/Reservation form on your ad website. This form can be, somewhat, customized to suit your taste and screening needs. 2. They can call you, directly, if you authorize the publishing of your telephone number on your ad website. Q. Do you charge the shoppers for a membership? Answer: IEN does not charge shoppers for a membership. Membership is included for our advertisers, only. This gives you access to the Members(or Advertisers) Only section where IEN will be providing useful information and contacts that you can rely on and that will save you time and money. Q. I use a website analysis program to monitor traffic to my personal website. Will my ad website on MyIEN.com bring a large number of visitors to my website? Answer: Ad websites on MyIEN.com are not designed to reroute traffic to other websites. IEN's ads contain a Contact/Reservation form for potential clients to fill out with information that you can use for your initial screening process. The information supplied on the Contact/Reservation Form is transmitted to you via email. Therefore, your website analytics program will not show traffic being directed to you from MyIEN.com. However, we do have a banner/link exchange program where you can snag one of our banners; place it on your website; and link it back to MyIEN.com. IEN will then do the same with your banner. Q. How do I setup my IEN Email Account in Outlook Express? Answer: The following is a walk-through for setting up Outlook Express. Go to 'Tools' -> 'Accounts...' -> 'Add...' Display Name: (as you wish) //Next -> Email Address: xxxxxxxxxxx@myien.com //Next -> My incoming mail server is a [POP3] Server. Incoming Mail (POP3, IMAP, HTTP) server: [yourdomain.com] Outgoing Mail (SMTP) server: [yourdomain.com or your ISP SMTP server settings*] Account Name: XXXXXXXXXXXX@myien.com (same as email address. Password: as appropriate Log in Using Secure Password Authentication is NOT checked. Click 'Next' and 'Finished' Click 'Properties' -> 'Servers' Tab *Make sure 'My Server requires authentication IS checked ON if you're using our SMTP Server settings. Otherwise contact your ISP. Click Apply, OK, OK. and test the email. If it does not work, try your ISP settings for Sending email. Q. How do I setup my IEN Email Account in Outlook? Answer: Outlook is similar to Outlook Express. Go to 'Tools' -> 'Email Accounts' -> 'Add a new e-mail account' -> 'POP3' User Information: Your Name: [as you wish] E-mail address: [you@yourdomain.com] Server Information: Incoming mail server (POP3): yourdomain.com Outgoing mail server (SMTP): yourdomain.com or your ISPs SMTP Server settings.

Click 'More Settings ...' -> 'Outgoing Server' Tab. 'My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication' IS checked. (use same settings as...) is checked. (NOTE: not all ISP allow you to use SMTP servers that are not their own, so you may be required to use the settings for sending email they provide.) Click 'OK' and you're finished. If you want the port settings for the Advanced tab in the settings, the standard ports are usually already filled in and work fine without changes; port 25 for SMTP, port 110 for POP, port 143 for IMAP. Your server may also have an alternate port 26 or 587 open for SMTP if your ISP blocks port 25. |
