- Clients

- How can I make InspireMeU work for me?
As a client of InspireMeU, we have made it very easy for you to receive passive income. Here's how:
- You provide us with a list of inspirational messages that you would like to send to your customers.
- You advertise to your customers using a unique affiliate link provided by InspireMeU. Using this special link ensures that you get credit for every sale.
- We do the rest of the gruntwork! We handle customer service and support, credit card charges, software upgrades, payment distribution, accounting and promotional materials.
- We send you a monthly check for up to 50% of your sales that month.
It's just that easy!
- Why do I want to partner with InspireMeU?
InspireMeU helps you to keep your message fresh in the minds of your audience and to inspire and motivate them with your material on a regular basis. In addition, InspireMeU helps you to establish long-term residual income in a minimal amount of time, and with no up-front costs.
- Why don’t I just send my messages out for free using Facebook, Twitter or email?
Your customers are inundated with information from these platforms. (Maybe you can relate!) Their email inboxes can quickly become overwhelming, filled with spam and advertisements. And less that half of the population uses social networking tools like Facebook and Twitter. However, over 70% of the population receives text messages through their mobile carrier.
My name is Randall, and I am one of the founders of InspireMeText. I created InspireMeText because I could not find a reliable service that provided what I was seeking: a simple, straighforward way to be inspired during my day... free of forgotten logins, unstable apps and spam!
Your customers will appreciate how fast and clean this valuable service is, and they will likely be willing to subscribe for years to come. Plus, it's a great way for you to receive passive income!
- How much will this cost me?
Your initial cost is $0.00. Yes, that's right-- no costs or fees for you! We obtain the quotes, set up the text messages, handle all subscriptions, give you a personalized web sales page and take care of all the charges and fees. All you have to do is promote your inspirational texts!
- Why are texts better than phone applications?
Some phone applications have been very successful, but as of December 2010, only 25% of cellphone users had a smart phone and used phone apps. This means that even if phone apps can replicate many InspireMeText features, you will not be reaching about 75% of your audience.
- How can I maximize my income from InspireMeU services?
We can create all of the marketing materials for you: a dedicated sales page, promotional text to send to your email list and links to use on your website.
We have found that we get the best returns from ongoing dedicated emails to your email list. Also, be sure to place links on your website and in your shopping cart. Make regular mention of the service on your Facebook, Twitter and blog pages. The more you place your product in front of your customer, the more passive income you will receive!
- How much of the monthly subscription price do I receive?
You can receive up to 50% of the subscription price. We cover all the expenses, including credit card fees, texting fees, customer support and marketing materials.
- What if I already send a daily email message?
Sending a daily email message to your clients is a great service. In this case you would want to create a specific product for new clients and for texting.
For Example:
- 90 days to release your fears.
- 365 affirmations to live more joyously.
- 120 days to stop smoking.
- Will InspireMeText be marketing my text messaging product(s)?
Yes, we will continually market your products on our ever-growing list of customers. As we gain more clients and customers, your passive income will grow as well.
- What about licensing and copyrights?
Our contract is specifically written for you. You will retain rights to your intellectual property and copyrighted material. We only receive a short term license for your content.
- What if texting becomes outdated?
We have designed our software for maximum adaptability. If (and when) text messaging becomes outdated, we will be able to change to the newest innovations and continue to reach the largest popluation possible.
- Is your software customizable? Can InspireMeU services be adapted to my unique circumstances?
Yes, of course! Whether you need expanded online communities or a specific product designed especially for your unique program, we can meet your needs. Please call us at 541-991-8398 to discuss the possibilities!
- Can someone help me create my list of quotes?
You can either write your own quotes, or we can assist you in gathering quotes from your material or elsewhere. Your percentage of profit will change slightly depending upon who gathers your quotes.
- How many quotes do I need to submit?
You need to initially submit (or have us write) 130 inspirational messages. The next 130 messages will be due by the end of the first six-month period.
- What is the maximum length for a quote?
Each message can be 160 characters long, including author if necessary.
- How do people find out about my text messaging service/product?
Your InspireMeText product(s) will be promoted in two ways: directly by you to your audience, and through the InspireMeText website. You can use the various marketing materials we provide you, or you can generate your own materials. The InspireMeText website will be seen by customers from numerous sources.
- How often will my customers receive text messages? How long will their subscription last?
We offer two different packages: the Silver package (up to two messages per week), and the Gold package (up to five messages per week). Subcriptions are charged on a monthly basis, and can be discontinued at any time.
- Can I use my messages to promote events or other products?
No. InspireMeText messages are meant to inspire and remind people about your message of personal or spiritual growth. Also, because people pay a fee for this service, it should not include advertisements. However, as your audience receives daily reminders about you and your materials, we anticipate your other sales to increase.
- When do customers receive their text messages?
Customers can choose what time of day and how many days per week they would like to receive your messages. You may wish to create a series of texts intended to start a day, end a day or motivate in the middle of the day, depending upon customer preference.
- What's the difference between the client FAQs and general FAQs?
General FAQs are what your customer sees on the InspireMeText website. But only you, a potential client, can see the client FAQs. We thought you might like to see the FAQs for the customers as well (below). They are lighter in tone, imbued with a bit of humor.
- General
- Why is InspireMeU better than, Facebook or Twitter services?
Great question! This software was created because we thought there had to be a better way to bring inspiration into our daily lives. We wanted to be inspired at the beginning of the day... but by the time we logged into our email, read past all the spam and finally got to reading the email that mattered, we were already immersed in what could be a frustrating day. Phone apps and Facebook were the same -- not to mention the fact that some days we would forget to check them all together. Sound familar?
So why not get a bit of inspiration, in the form of a simple text message, at the time of day you choose? You can choose to receive an inspirational message when you awake in the morning, on a lunch break at mid-day or as you snuggle into bed at night... all without clutter, ads or spam. Fast, easy and soothing!
- How much does it cost?
Always less than $1.39 a week. We have two available plans: the Silver plan (up to two texts per week for $3.99 per month) and the Gold plan (up to five texts per week for $5.99 per month).
Our goal is to keep this price low so that it is affordable to everyone. Also, you may cancel your subscription at any time.
- Will I need an unlimited texting plan to subscribe to InspireMeU?
No, not at all. The average basic cellphone texting plan is 200 texts per month. Since you will only be recieving a maximum of five texts per week per subscription, you would only be using 10% of a basic texting package. However, if you purchase multiple subscriptions, you may want to opt for a larger texting package from your cellphone provider.
- What if I want to upgrade my plan?
To maintain the highest security possible, we don't store your credit card information on our site. Therefore, if you would like to upgrade your plan from Silver to Gold, you will first need to login to your account and cancel your existing Silver plan. As soon as your plan has been cancelled, you can then subscribe to the Gold plan.
- Can I subscribe to more than text package?
Yes, of course! We do recommend that you switch it up a bit: set them to arrive at different times of day, or on different days of the week. For example, you purchase one package on the Gold plan (five texts per week) and one package on the Silver plan (two texts per week), or purchase two weekly packages and set them to arrive at different times of day.
- Are there any additional fees, taxes or charges?
No way! Not a chance! Our moms would be so disappointed in us if that were to happen. You only pay your pre-selected plan price.
- Can I buy this as a gift for a friend?
Wow, aren't you sweet? Sure! We will only have to send your friend an email to verify it as a gift and to get their permission to start sending them text messages. This feature will start soon!
- Is it safe to give you my credit card information?
Yes, your credit card is never stored anywhere on our website. Your credit card information is safer here than under your pillow at night!
- Where are you located?
To find our headquarters, first you have to take a right at the lollipop field and then go past the pasture of unicorns. Don’t touch horns, since they are sharp. When you see the hole in the redwood tree, knock twice and then do a cartwheel -- and we will magically appear!
Ok, maybe that's a bit too silly. Just send us an email or drop us a line. We have offices in the Boston area and in southern Oregon. We'd be delighted to hear from you!

- Why do I want inspirational text messages?
Imagine waking up in the morning and-- before the day's plans even cross your mind, before you've had time to read the news, before you've been inundated by emails or overwhelmed by work or family-- you receive a simple, lovely text message to inspire your day. You can also choose to get your inspirational text messages as a pick-me-up in the middle of the day, or receive your message just before bed to help inspire wonderful dreams and a restful sleep. You simply choose the right time of day for you!
- Is my phone number and email address safe with you?
We will NEVER use your personal information for anything else besides the ad-free text for which you registered. Your information will always be kept securely behind our vault walls, protected by specially selected and trained ninja assassins. Did we say never? We mean never ever ever!!
You will never receive any advertisements, emails or spam whatsoever. Our clients are not allowed to advertise to you, either!
- When will I receive my text each day?
You can choose the time at which your text message(s) will be delivered to your cellphone. This is one of the best things about InspireMeText!
- Can I cancel at any time?
Of course! Just log into your account, click on billing, and click "Cancel My Account", or send an email to info@inspiremetext.com. If you email to cancel, please include your phone number so that we can make sure we cancel the correct subscription.
- Why is there a monthly fee for this service?
There are some costs for us to send a text message. Charging a fee allows us to keep the messages ad-free. We will always keep this fee as low as possible. (I also want to feed my dog, Kodi. She's much happier when she's well-fed. Woof!)
