Affordable Roadmaps with ProductLift

I discovered Product Lift on App Sumo and thought, "Yes, FINALLY an affordable roadmap." This is a great tool for harvesting feedback. You can get it from customers, teams, stakeholders, or in my case, a podcast audience. It makes it so easy to get feedback but also build roadmaps, publish changelogs, vote and discuss, and more. There is a free version on their site, but I recommend (while it is available) purchasing it on App Sumo. Their regular price is $48/month, and you can buy it for $49...

Switchy: Quit Guessing and Start KNOWING What is Working

If you're using bit.ly and sharing those publicly, you're not doing your brand any favors. Today I introduce you to Switchy.

As I record this, you can get Switchy on App Sumo for a one-time purchase of $39. The starting price on their website is $47/month so it's a steal. I love that you can tie a domain to it, and even the core domai...

Directory Tools and Advertisement Rotation Plugin

I was looking for a tool to make a directory of websites. To make a long story short, they are very hard to find.

Bomb Bomb Video Email Will Blow You Away

I've used Covideo in the past, but I had to go into my Gmail when I used it and change some settings that set off all sorts of security warnings. Their answer was to send it through their website. In the end, I ended up not using it and eventually unsubscribed. I tried creating videos in Camtasia and uploading them and sharing them on a Google Drive. That strategy was free, but it took forever. So the BIG thing that bomb bomb delivers on is speed. Their smallest package allows you to send video ...
