www.ipiu.org

then click here: http://www.ipiu.org/forums/sendmessage.php

After our image code has been installed verified on your home page, we will request verification of the compliances so that your home page can be included in your PI Forum Signature. Our link and your link will generate more web traffic to help promote your web site as well as IPIU's web site. This is known as an agreement to link exchange.

---

OTHER BENEFITS OF USING OUR IMAGE LINK:

The mission of our Link Exchange includes the following:

1. To offer a Consumer Ethics Rating through IPIU for the member who is advertising their services and products on their web site;
   
   
2. To help generate the maximum score of inter-link traffic to IPIU's web site from the member's home page;
   
   
3. To assure us the member's web site is not selling any products or services that IPIU is currently offering to its members and customers.

THE FOLLOWING EMAIL
WAS SENT TO A MEMBER
WHO WAS POSTING THEIR EMAIL ON THE FORUMS:

Dear Private Investigator:

Please do not post your email in an open post in the PI Forums until you read the following application topic:
http://www.ipiu.org/forums/showthread.php?t=19427

In your posts, you have the option to TURN ON your SIGNATURE when you want other members to see your name, credentials, and an approved email address. When you leave forum signature OFF, then members will only concentrate on your posted message and not bother with emailing you.

You can apply for a free approved email to promote your profession, agency, or contact in several ways:

1. If you have a Home Page already, or your own web site, or if you work for a firm who employs you, then the IPIU Banner would be ideal to apply for (it's free).
   
   
2. If you do not have your home page or website, then you can join IPIU as a fraternal union member private investigator and choose the Management Membership Plan, which includes free business cards, free home page, and a whole host of other benefits at the following link:
   
   http://www.ipiu.org/forums/showthrea...&threadid=6542
   
   
3. If you are not a union member and not a licensed private investigator and would like to talk about other options, call the union office at 800-548-1525 and choose Option 2 for a short recording, and then the option to speak to an agent. If no answer, leave your name and phone.

Thank you for your support,

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS:

As for the website, are you referring to our personal website?

Either a personal or business website.

I am in the process of setting up my website advertising myself and my services.

You may wish to click on the following link before you set up a website:

Free Details on setting up your website

Should I wait until the website is complete to email a request for the banner?

Yes.

If so, should I send a link to my website to someone at IPIU so that they can review my website before "issuing" a banner?

Yes. Send the email through the following link:

http://www.ipiu.org/forums/sendmessage.php

I have a personal website that is for something completely unrelated to my ongoing effort here (at least for now). Does the site have to be PI related to qualify?

No. Your website does not need to be related to private investigation. Having an IPIU Banner attesting to your signed Code of Ethics is a benefit to those who wish to be noted for their good character.

I am iterested in displaying the banner on my website, please forward me the necessary steps.

Michael, just follow the email instructions posted in the first comment in this topic.

Will I have to be on a certain level to obtain a banner for a unrelated business I own?

No, you are welcomed to apply for the banner. If you read the Notes in the first post of this topic, it says For non-union members who wish to have an IPIU Banner placed on their website, the banner will look very similar to the above sample.

Great info: Do I need to be licensed to post & receive Ipiu banner

Answer: No.

Do I need to be licensed to post contract for hire, in fields of pi service, not requireing a license??? EXAMPLE Contract under your license certain fields ??

That is a licensing question. Please go to the PI Licensing Forum and read your state's topic. Or, post your question in your state's topic.

Another answer can be found in the following forums (if you have access to them):

Colorado PI Office Forum

Business Card Forum

This may be a silly question but can I add the banner to e-mails? That would be awfully cool since I communicate so much through e-mail.

Yes, there is a smaller banner to include in emails.

If you have not applied for your banner, email us at the following link:

I'm a Management Member. I am supposed to get access to a free web page. I cannot find any info on how to set it up. I'm at level 3. What do I need to get started?

Use the CONTACT US link at the bottom of any forum page to inquire how to set that up.

[Dennis Sutton -]

Just a quick note........Nice web page and I have the banner installed on my own website. Thanks to all concerned!!

[John G -]

I just wanted to say thank you for the post to Dennis about updating his banner link. I thought my link would work, but this post made me redo my banner according to the revised email. It only took about five minutes to redo it according to the revised email, and now my banner works great.

Thank you IPIU, and Banner Support, plus Tech, for all the work you do. I appreciate it very much.

[Phillip Torrence]

I did all that was requested I have your banner on my website!

[Barry Harting -]

Hi Barry,
I was wondering if you got your web page yet since I was trying to get in touch with someone at the same time as you.

I have had my own webpage for quite sometime, but in order to place a banner (IPIU) you must have an mailing address on the website so clients can contact you.

Such as:

Contact T. Name
144 any street
Bianko, MI. 20020

I decided to go with the IPIU Colorado PI Office Gold Program, which includes the following:

• A shared downtown PI Office penthouse suite;
  
  
• A listed phone number for clients to call the Denver PI Office;
  
  
• A receptionist to greet any of my clients at the penthouse office and to make either a telephone appointment for me or to arrange another meeting;
  
  
• A personal secretary to take my client calls and to contact me with the messages via email during business hours;
  
  
• An after hours voice-mail in case the office receptionist area is closed on weekends;
  
  
• The filing of my new Colorado Agency Corporation and all state filing fees;
  
  
• A free registered agent service for my new corporation (a $100 value alone);
  
  
• An assigned toll free number that is directed to my own phone at 5 cents a minute;
  
  
• My agency name on a priority list for any potential assignments that come through the office;
  
  
• Free business card typesetting, with the IPIU Official Seal, listing both my corporate agency name, street address, phone, website, email, toll free number, and my local address for other types of work.

ALL OF THE ABOVE FOR about $15/month when paid annually!

So, when my Colorado PI Office Gold package is completed I will have an address to put on my personal website and so the banner will follow

IPIU did respond to my emails and liked my site for the free banner, except I just had to get an address on there,. So I decided rather than put my personal address on there I would get the Colorado PI Office Gold package for an average of $15/month with everything! If all goes well , seems to me the Colorado PI Office Gold package was the way to go.

I know we all get a little frustrated (me too) from time to time with the staffing at IPIU. But taking into consideration how many new people come in daily, it must be a nightmare to manage at times.

Things may move a little slow from my perspective, but I understand most of it. If they had to hire more staff to resolve some issues I guess our costs will rise also.

Patience is not only a virtue but a necessity in this environment.
In my humble opinion I think they need more help in the forums to free up the staff in Agent Relations dept. But we do with what we have and deal with the situation as we can.

[Margaret Durham]

I would like to introduce my Agency:B.I.A.Investigations LLC located in Denver Colorado! My website will be up soon as soon as I secure all the details!
Thankls IPIU and Jonny Ginsburg!

Im just wanted to ask someone from Colorado a question. I am at level four myself but wonder how it could be so easy to get started in Colorado without having a license when I am in WV and have to have a 2 year degree or 2 years experince under a licensed PI.. I really want to get my license here in WV so I am legal. I dont see how I can do work in WV when IPIU says I am registered in Colorado.. Can you get me insight of how this all works between states and do you have any suggestions about how I can get jobs under a license PI. I need a lot of hours.. I really appreciate you help and answer's...

[Anne Friedland -]

Hi i am brain-dead b/c I don't remember your name but, i do remember what you asked.
1)The Denver Office is a virtual office, you don't have to be there.
2) In the forums there is a "licensing forum" with most states listed. I am in PA and looked it up there.
3) If you are qualified, better! The next step is to find a name ane register it w/the Colo Sec of state, license or not. This is just for a business. If you have any other questions email me at:m anne friedland@pi-agency.us.

[DJ Moran --]

There seems to be some confusion as to who posts what. This is Anne here. my middle name is Robin. I see that sometimes I get answers to questions posted by Robin Dexter.
I don't know if she is in contact w/ Gary Sumner or not, but I did get a message included in his email to me (Anne) to communicate in writing to him,which I thought I was doing.
Also if there was an important question. I'd send Gary an email for SURE!~!! It is so much easier as far as the site goes to keep my comm down to 1 person.
Everything re: my site is currently being handled.

Hi Anne,

My reply was to Robin, not you Anne,

She( Robin Dexter) asked a question, and I replied to her.

Hope this helps. Cause now..... I'm confused too!
