Clean Up Your Inbox - Find An Alternative to Anything

Alternativeto.net (http://Alternativeto.net) This is a cool site. If you find a tool you like, but maybe you don't like the price. You type in the name of the website or app, and it spits out an alternative to. For example, I just cancelled my lead pages account. I just wasn't using it enough to warrant the $40 a month . It brought up a bunch of landing page alternatives such as Landini, Front Meter (which looks really cool), http://unbounce.com/ Unroll.me Not sure where I found this, but I’ve b...

SemRush and Editorial Calendar

I was at WordCamp Dayton last weekend and these two tools kept coming up. The interesting thing is with SEMRush, it might be easier to say what it DOESN'T do than what it does. In a nutshell, you can spy on our competitors, and figure out what keywords they are using, how much they are spending, and what keywords would be a good fit for you The only thing missing from the feature list is a free pair of knives. The price starts at $69 a month and they offer a 7-day guarantee so if you're not sure...

Easy WP Local Host & AdRespark Facebook Ads

Easy WP Local Host (http://jvz3.com/c/59893/202416) AD respark Ad Respark (http://www.weeklywebtools.com/adrespark) is a Flexible tool for making Facebook Ads. Their video shows you just click a few buttons and it switches it to a banner, or pinterest, etc. I did not have the same experience. I had to do some tweaking as an image for Facebook won't fit on a pinterest icon (in some cases). I don't beleive they purposely mislead you, but it's not quite as simple as their videos show. It is a nice ...

Put Your Customers Journey on Autopilot

I've been seeing a new tool pop up on more and more sites. This lead me to thinking, "What are they using to do this?" When I was using YNAB.com the owner let me know the software had been updated. When I was using Audiometric.io I was told that the system would be down by maintenance. So when I found this tool, and found out that you can start using it for $4 if you have less than 500 contacts in the database - it seems like a complete no brainer. You can take it for a spin for free for 30 days...

The Quick, Easy, and Affordable Way to Create a Professional Logo

I've seen a few programs that help you create logos. This is great, but sometimes you are in a hurry, and that is where logaster (https://www.logaster.com/ref/podcastcoach.html) comes in handy (for the record, I think its a dumb name). You put in the name of your company, or lead magnet (or whatever you're making a logo for) and an optional slogan. (https://www.logaster.com/ref/podcastcoach.html) spits out hundreds of potential logos that you can tweak. You can add key words to help you find and...

Convertkit Email: Is This An Aweber Killer?

I've used Aweber (http://podcastcoach.aweber.com/) makes you pay for people who have unsubscribed (but you've never removed - according toe convertkit.com's site). Until recently, you could not add a list to aweber without doing a double opt-in. In some cases (without using the list automation) you could easily have the same person on multiple lists and be paying for them. For me, I've been paing $15 a month ($180/yr) so it did what I wanted it to do - send email, and convert an RSS feed to an e...
