Recent Updates

The Newest Release - v2.0.0.7

  • We noticed, and also through feedback from members, that when saving profile data using Skype 4.1 versus Skype 3.8 that Skype 4.1 searches run much faster but it was not returning languages any where near as much as with Skype 3.8... We have added rules with both Skype 4.1 and Skype 3.8 so that if the user has not saved a language on their profile then we set the language to be the main language of the country. In other words, if there is no language on the profile, but we know the person resides in Germany, then we set the language to German, etc. etc.

  • In the Help, About section we have added the email address of the MM account the license is attached to.

  • In the Help, About section we have added the MM version #.

  • When the setup program is finished it now runs Message Magic.

  • If the program encounters an error and must stop, we add the current session log in to the app log.

The newest release is available for download at http://www.messagemagic.net/MessageMagic.zip
Windows2000 people should use this one: http://www.messagemagic.net/Windows2000.zip

Please be sure to UNINSTALL your current version before installing the new version.

If your version of MM crashes for any reason please send me your error.log file which is available via an option in your Log area (see help).

The Newest Release - v2.0.0.5

We found a glitch in the installation routine where members were getting a message related to them not having an internet connection when that wasn't the issue at all. If you are running the software already there is no need for this upgrade but it sure helps in supporting new members.... Having said that, my personal recommendation is you stay current with all releases to ensure you are using the most current, robust version of MM.

The Newest Release - v2.0.0.1

  • We have added an Auto translate option for when adding contacts and sending messages. This means you can create a message in your native language but the person receiving it will get the message in their native language as set on their Skype profile. If they do not have a language set on their profile then the message will be sent in the original language.

This feature is also very useful if you want to chat back and forth with another Message Magic user where each of you speak different languages. What you both need to do is this: 

  • Go into Skype and create a group called Multilingual Chat

  • Add your friend into that group.

  • Open a Skype chat window for that user.

  • Open Message Magic and move it to a side of your screen so you can see both Message Magic and the open Skype chat window for that user.

  • Go into Message Magic, click Load Contacts and select the Multilingual Chat group. 

  • This will load that user. 

  • Put a checkmark beside his username. 

  • Select the Auto translate option. 

  • Once you have both done that then you are ready. 

  • Simply type your message in the Message Text area and click Send Message.

  • You will see your message show up in the chat window and it will be in his language.

The chances are good if you live in North America that you don't have the language pack installed for East Asian countries. If not you can get it in your control panel: [Data, Time, Language, and Regional Options] - [Regional and Language Options] in the resulting dialog, select [languages], select the Install files for East Asian languages, click Apply.

  • We have added the Translate to: option which allows you to translate your message into the language of your choice. The "from" language with this option is the language as set on your profile.

  • The Advanced Search function is back for Skype 3.8 users and is working almost exactly like it did before except it is accurate. This Advanced Search function runs in conjunction with the main Search. First you add a bunch of patterns so we can go get some users. Then the Advanced Search criteria is applied to narrow the results to match what you are looking for.

  • The Advanced Search function is back for Skype 4.x users and is working exactly like Skype does except it brings the returned users in to the Message Magic Users window. Please note that in any one given session Skype will return a maximum of 100 unique users. We have a very clean solution for you to get more than 100 per search pattern but be advised there are extra steps and some work on your part. Parts of that solution is the next couple points.

    Here is a practical application of using the Advanced Search option:

    1. Click Advanced Search

    2. Pick United States

    3. Enter a city in your area

    4. Click find

    5. Repeat steps 3 & 4 so you cover a range of different cities in your area

    6. Close the Advanced Search, click Save Users to save them to a unique csv file

    7. In Skype click File -> Sign out

    8. Sign back in to Skype

    9. Repeat using the same cities exactly as before as many times as you want & need

    10. Use the new Load Users function to combine all your unique csv files in to one larger file which will eliminate duplicates (see next section).

    11. <Click Here> to go to a website where you can look up the cities for any U.S. State and county.

Here is another practical application of using the Advanced Search option:

  1. Click Advanced Search

  2. Pick United States

  3. Enter a city in your area

  4. Enter a name in the box at the top (Sue, Fred, John etc.)

  5. Click find

  6. Repeat steps 4 & 5 so you find all the people you can in that city

  7. Close the Advanced Search, click Save Users to save them to a unique csv file

  • When the Load Users function is used you can now select multiple csv files to bring into the Users window. This gives you a quick and easy way to remove duplicate usernames contained in several different lists and provides a way to save a larger list with no duplicates. This is especially useful to Skype 4.x users taking advantage of the Advanced Search function.

  • Following the above strategy... I entered 26 search patterns, a-z, searched & saved 2600 users, signed out of Skype, signed back in, did the same search, saved 2600, loaded the 2 files and see that I got 3465 unique Skype users. I did it a 3rd time and ended up with 3911 unique Skype users. Play around with it and see what you get.

  • License handling has been redone to incorporate the unique machine code that every computer has. This will allow a person to run the software from any account (or multiple accounts) on their computer with a single MM license.

  • In a previous release we had it so that only 1 instance of MM can run at once on a computer. We did this in order to prevent data corruption in the Save Profiles area. We have now changed it so you can run multiple instances of Message Magic on the same machine. The only requirement is that each instance must be run from a unique user account.

  • Click on MessageMagic -> Option - Free Emails. This is the location where all paying members can get 50 free email addresses per day as a gift from us to you! These emails are a bit dated but are from people seeking online opportunities. The purpose is to help you in your overall marketing efforts.

  • Click on MessageMagic -> Option - Reset License. This will remove your license from our server and allows you to use MM on a different computer. This is very useful for when you have a desktop and a laptop and need to switch back and forth, or if you want to switch back and forth between home and office. As you can see, this strategy will also allow you to share your license with someone else.

  • Some data validation was added to the Load Users area to ensure the files loaded do not contain corrupted data. Data validation was added to ensure Skype usernames being loaded are valid and follow the Skype rules:

    • The Skype username rules:
      1. 6-150 characters
      2. Allow a-Z 0-9 -_,.
      3. The first character must be a-Z

  • Even though the help file describes how to structure the list of numbers for sending SMS messages these Load Numbers lists are sometimes in the wrong format. If the list is not correct then the user will get this message: "Your list of numbers to send an SMS message contains one or more invalid numbers in an incorrect format. Please review the help file to see how to set up the SMS numbers properly." It will also show a message dialog advising the user how many invalid data there were.

  • In the Load Contacts area we have added an optional check box under the Select All Contacts check box that says Authorized Only, and if that box is checked it will just load the authorized contacts. Many people have many more "unauthorized" contacts than they do "authorized" and so this is a way to ensure you are only loading contacts that want to hear from you.

  • Version Checking. Starting with this version the software will check to see if there is a newer version available for downloading and if there is it will let you know. If you're interested in seeing what it's all about (by clicking YES) then it will open the Recent Updates page which contains a full description of the changes for all releases and from there you can get the newest version.

  • Corrections to the help file, checkboxes, counters and various fixes related to stability.

  • We have changed the software so when sending messages we leave each chat session if the other user is offline. This will prevent a large buildup of pending messages that may never get delivered.

  • The app log was fixed so the current sessions log is added to the top so you can see from the top, down the activity that has happened. Please note this log gets updated when you close the current session (exit MM).

  • In the Help, About section display the machine code as "License: xxx" where xxx is the machine code.

  • Also as a reminder, the {firstname} tag works when you are sending messages, NOT when you are adding contacts.

The newest release is available for download at http://www.messagemagic.net/MessageMagic.zip

Please be sure to UNINSTALL your current version before installing the new version.

If your version of MM crashes for any reason please send me your error.log file which is available via an option in your Log area (see help).

Matching Bonuses

The audit of all payments has been completed and all missing matching bonuses have been added to accounts. They are all stamped with today's date: 2010-01-21 and can be seen in your commission area.

Invoices

I have changed the view of your commissions to make it more clear. When you review the way they look now, I'm sure you will agree the detail is more clear. If you see something beginning with "Pmt" just keep in mind we pay 7 people. Pmt refers to which one of those 7 it is. After that will be "Level" which refers to which level of yours the payment came from. As some of you will quickly notice, you are receiving payments from levels deeper than your 7th level. This is because if someone is expired we bypass that person and pay the next person in line. This means our 3x7 matrix is actually deeper than 7 levels when it comes to the number of payments you can receive. Think about that for a minute... and you should realize your potential earnings is far more than you thought.

Matching Bonuses

The 2 levels of Matching Bonuses are now being stamped real time as payments come in. I will be doing an audit of all payments that came in over the past couple weeks in order to add the Matching Bonuses that are missing. This will be finished and all accounts updated before the end of the month.

Here is a description of how Matching Bonuses work:

  • You must be a paying member to qualify for Matching Bonuses.

  • Everyone you personally sponsor is considered to be your level 1.

  • Everyone personally sponsored by the people you personally sponsor is considered to be your level 2.

  • You will earn $1.00 when your level 1 people refers someone who pays for the 1st time. You will see it on your commission detail like this: Fast Start Matching - Level 1 - Aff #xxx-yyy (xxx is your level 1 person, yyy is the person who paid)

  • You will earn $0.50 when your level 2 people refer someone who pays for the 1st time. You will see it on your commission detail like this: Fast Start Matching - Level 2 - Aff #xxx-yyy (xxx is your level 2 person, yyy is the person who paid)

  • You will earn $0.20 when your level 1 people gets paid $1.70 in matrix earnings. You will see it on your commission detail like this: Matching - Level 1 - Aff #xxx-yyy (xxx is your level 1 person, yyy is the person who paid)

  • You will earn $0.10 when your level 2 people gets paid $1.70 in matrix earnings. You will see it on your commission detail like this: Matching - Level 2 - Aff #xxx-yyy (xxx is your level 1 person, yyy is the person who paid)

The Comp Plans

We are now officially a one comp plan company.... the new 3x7 forced matrix with leadership pool and 2 levels of matching bonuses. If you see something strange in your member area please just refresh by pressing Ctrl-F5 at the same time and it should load the most current version of the page you're on.

We do, however, have some special arrangements made with some companies to get a discounted price for their version of the product. In those cases the accounts are placed in the UniLevel and there is no commissions available to those members to refer others.

The Newest Release - v1.5.2.4

  • Fixed the issue related to searches and 'file in use' error.

  • Removed the useless and incorrect 'Advanced Search' feature and moved the 'Save Profiles' button to it's position.

  • Added language selection feature to the 'Load Contacts' function.

  • Change url of sub menus under the MessageMagic Option menu.

  • Cleanup related to the Send Message function in order to not have so many remaining pending messages, which will eventually slow Skype down to a crawl

  • Added system related information to each record in error.log

  • When the error log or application log grows too large it will empty them.

  • In order to prevent accidental spamming the Send Message button is now only available after the 'Load Contacts' button has been used.... the idea is we only send messages to contacts who have given us permission.

  • Cleaned up an important license key issue

  • Fixed an error.log issue

  • Added open app/error log, clear app/error log menus.

The newest release is available for download at http://www.messagemagic.net/MessageMagic.zip

Please be sure to UNINSTALL your current version before installing the new version.

If your version of MM crashes for any reason please send me your error.log file which is available via an option in your Log area (see help).

The Comp Plans

Effective immediately the accounts of the Pulsating Matrix and old 3x7 Forced Matrix are converted to be new 3x7 Forced Matrix with 2 Levels of Matching Bonuses.

In due course I will be converting the UniLevel over to the new 3x7 as well so we will end up being a one comp plan company.

Just as a reminder, it is a 3x7 forced matrix with $10 Fast Start Bonus, a Leadership Pool and 2 levels of Matching Bonuses. You can find complete details in the Resource Center.

VERY IMPORTANT... Even accounts that have not been paid for are entitled to refer others and earn the $10 bonus should that new person pay for their account. Having said that, accounts that have not been paid for are not entitled to earn recurring matrix commissions. When this type of situation arises the free account holder will be notified by our system that earnings has bypassed them and been given to their upline.

The New 3x7 + Matching Bonuses Matrix

I received the following question wanting some clarification on the new matrix so I thought it best to publish the question and answer in case others are wondering the same thing.

Q - I have a question on the matrix differences--3x7 forced is 2.00 through 7 levels--3x7 with matching it seems to be that you would make less than if you used the 3x7 2.00 matrix--I tried to work it out but I can't seem to find out why you would want to have a matching bonus plan. The matching bonus part is hard to figure out and to explain it to new members I need to know what to say when they see the other matrix in the back office as I did. It really is going over my head!!!! I must be missing something.

A - The old 3x7 matrix max earnings is $6558

The new 3x7 with matching max earnings = unlimited

Why? The matching bonuses.

The new matrix is most beneficial to people capable of referring others because the people who refer others earn 10% matching bonus for the people they refer and a 5% matching bonus on the people that those people refer.

In other words, the matching bonus in effect give you unlimited depth. While your matrix earnings are limited to your personal 7 levels, the matching bonuses are earned based on your referral's matrix commissions, not yours, and that person can come in anywhere inside (or outside) of your personal matrix.

New Email Notice

I have now added an email notice to sponsors letting them know their personal referral has paid for their account.

Saving Profiles

When you click save profiles it saves the profiles of the last search that was done.

If you click load users or load contacts and then click save profiles it is still only going to save the profiles from your last search.

Saving profile data originating from users coming in from load users or load contacts will come at a later date. Or first priority is to make what we have faster and more stable before we introduce new features.

Running Multiple Instances of MM

If you run more than one instance of MM at a time, which is currently possible, chances are very good you'll either end up with corrupted profile data or your MM will crash. We do not recommend or support running multiple instances of MM. I'll let you all know if/when that changes.

Having Problems?

If for some reason you are having problems installing or operating the Message Magic software there are 2 best ways to deal with it.

1) Get ahold of me via Skype chat to describe the issue you're having. My Skype id is webloot.

2) In the event I need to see your screen or do something for you on your computer, please go to http://www.yuuguu.com and download their chat software, then add admin@messagemagic.net as a contact.

New version of the 3x7 compensation plan

Our newest compensation plan... yes, it's true, we've come out with a new optional compensation plan. It is a 3x7 forced matrix with $10 Fast Start Bonus, a Leadership Pool and 2 levels of Matching Bonuses. You can find complete details in the Resource Center.

People in the Pulsating Matrix and old 3x7 have been moved to the new plan.

People in the UniLevel cannot be moved into the new 3x7. If you're in the UniLevel and want to be in the new 3x7 right now then you need to contact your sponsor and get their link to join the new 3x7. If you hang on for a while though I'll figure out a way to move all the UniLevel people into the new 3x7 as well.

Please note that changing to the new matrix does not in any way affect your existing line of sponsorship upline or downline.

How to tell what matrix you are in...

When you are logged in to your account you will see a banner in the top middle of your screen which will indicate which matrix you are in.

Cookies Set?

I'm confirming with the website team that if someone comes to the main site via a referral link it will set a cookie for 60 days so if the same person comes back even without a referral link the original sponsor will get credit. If it is not working then it will be fixed.

The link to use to send someone to the main site looks like this:
http://www.messagemagic.net/affiliate/redir.php?id=######

You now have 3 different links available to promote MM. Check in your member are for the one that best suits your tastes. Also, if you are a designer and want to contribute a good referral type page I'm willing to take a look and consider it for implementation for everyone to use. Should you wish to do this it will be at no charge to the members.

The Newest Release - v1.5.1.6

I've got lots of great news for everyone:

Site changes:

We have a completely new professional look to all pages of the site. I am pretty sure all the pages have been changed but if you notice something that is not formatted right, or looks just plain crazy, please let me know.

As part of this I have released a new referral link for you to use, which is located in the middle of the page when you log in.

Software Changes:

Since releasing v1.5.0.3 which added the profiling we have uncovered some issues. Within the next week we should be out with a new release of Message Magic addressing some issues we've uncovered since rolling out the profiling feature.

Within the next few weeks we should be out with a new release of Message Magic that is aimed entirely at stabilizing the software across all operating systems. If you are one of the folks experiencing grief please let me know the circumstances via the ticket system.

Pay Plan Changes:

Effective immediately across all pay plans when someone pays for the 1st time the person who sponsored them earns a $10 fast start bonus. Yes, that's right, this feature has been added to both the Pulsating Matrix and the 3x7 Forced Matrix. A new aspect to all 3 plans is the bonus can be earned whether the sponsoring member has paid yet or not...

Effective 1st January 2010 the 3x7 Forced Matrix has a new Leadership Bonus... $1 from every payment coming in from members who Join and/or pay for the 1st time on or after the 1st of January 2010 will go into a pool, and the pool will be shared with leaders who sponsor 25+ paying members.

A new qualifying requirement for the Pulsating Matrix Leadership Pool is you must have 10+ personally sponsored, and in the case of both the 3x7 and PM Pools one of the personally sponsored must be new within the past month. Also, Pulsating Matrix payouts are now monthly to be consistent with the other plans.

That's it for today, save and except to remind you we have a sister product available at http://www.profilermagic.com that is available for you to try and see that value in. This could take us all to a whole new level.
