tools I have listed in my SOHO Tools folder. When you're
the only "employee", it helps if you can make your tasks
as easy as possible.
Some of these I use, some I haven't. That means take what
you can use and leave the rest.
Wizard Responder
This was recommended for those of us with lists of less than
10,000 subscribers. There are other options of course like Aweber
or Get Response, but if you don't need or want all the features
they offer for your autoresponder this is a more reasonable
option at only $8.97 a month.
Countdown Timer
We've all seen those timers the "Goobers" put on their OTO
(One Time Offer) pages and this is where you get one for your
site. Quick and simple to customize skins to fit your site
design too.
Your Voice On Your Pages
Haven't tried this one yet, it was on someone's page and I
thought it was pretty slick because the audio didn't sound as if
the person had the hiccups when the audio played. This one sounds
very clear and it's a simple copy and paste to your site.
Protect Your Forms
This is something I'm testing on one of my sites, and noooo you
can't have the url! I know you'd go there and play with it:-).
Spam in your email is bad enough, it really starts to suck when
it comes from your website or blog. That's what this service is
about - reducing the amount you get and fighting the spam bots.
Copyscape
If it hasn't happened to you yet, consider yourself fortunate
because the content thieves are alive and well online. Copyscape
isn't just for big sites.
When you also use articles in your marketing, it can save you a
lot of headaches when people use your articles and remove your
resource box linking to your site.
Article Video Robot
If you're like me and video isn't high on your list of things
to do, then this service is going to be exactly what you're
looking for. These folks turn your articles into video so you
can submit them to whatever video hosting sites you want.
Yes, there's a 14 day free trial but they hide the monthly fee.
What they do show on their site is a video submitter component
with a $47 setup fee. My suggestion: Get a "throw away email"
account and do the trial. Then if it doesn't seem worth it,
unsubscribe!
That's it for today and I leave you with this -
