Resources

Here are some very effective resources that I use with great success

Each of these sites are dependable and provide value above the cost of the service. I have used each of these programs for long enough to know that they are dependable and provide consistent value to my business. Each of the programs provides a major time savings for me and, ultimately a great cost savings as well.

I also have an affiliate relationship with each of these services, so even though I pay for premium memberships, I pay nothing for any of these services because I have recommended them to others who have found them to be of value as well. So, my advice: master the art of saving time and concentrating your effort on creating your essential message, then leverage your resources to share your message with the people who want to hear it and those who need to hear it.

Here’s a summary list of the resources I depend on to connect to the world that I have tested and know are dependable. After the summary list, there is a detail description of each of the services with a link to each. If you have questions, then put a comment on this blog and I will respond.

Social Oomph – Distributing your message to multiple social media and schedule for distribution later.

Here are the details:

Social Oomph
This site not only helps you schedule tweets for the rest of the week with just one sitting, it also teaches you how to get response to your messages. There is a free service and a paid service as well. If you subscribe to the paid service and recommend it to people, it then becomes free to you. It works great for Twitter and Facebook as well (you may be reading this because you came from one of those sites, hmmm…).

This is a great time saver as well. You can spend a few minutes a day or once a week placing your messages in a cue for release whenever you choose. If you are conducting a live event, you can schedule the messages and reminders ahead of time so you don’t forget. Really good tool and really helpful advice on how to get response. It works for me.

Basecamp
I coordinate many projects clients with participants in multiple locations – some in the same town, but with different offices and schedules. I also coordinate projects for my volunteer work and need to have everybody on the “same page” so to speak with the current version of documents and accountability for milestones and to-dos for each milestone.

I also like the fact that messages originated in the system to team members go back through the system even though they respond from their regular email program on their computer or smart phone. I then, have a log of correspondence in one place to review. Great for tracking!

TweetAdder
I have built a substantial following on Twitter using this tool each morning while I do something else. I goes on autopilot with my directions. I unfollow people who don’t follow me, I follow new people that have similar interests and posts, I send messages to all new followers – all with pre-directed intention. I have set up the parameters and it works on my behalf.

Download the program to your computer and open it as you choose. If you let it run in the background, then it will work all day for you.

Instant Teleseminar
This is a great program that always works. I have used it for over 2 years without one problem. I offer free online training events and this programs let’s me talk to 200 people on the phone and and additional 1,000 online at the same time. The people listening online can download handouts and I can direct them to my sites as I choose. I can offer special prices on my products during the event and they can click a link to get there.

The presentation function of the program let’s me show a PowerPoint presentation to the online attendees. This is easy for people that are not comfortable with webinars. I fine that just about anybody using any kind of computer can click on the link they receive on email and attend my events. During events they can also type in questions, which is much better than many people trying to ask questions on the phone at the same time.

I also leave my events up to replay after the event is over so those that miss the live event have it “live” again. If you charge for events, then you can password protect your event as well.

1Shopping Cart
I provide online learning for many types of clients. This program let’s people subscribe and receive the program even if it’s 2:00 in the morning! I have set up a series of autoresponders that deliver each lesson in sequence on the correct day. The program also rebills subscribers for their monthly fees and I don’t have to do anything. Customers buy my products and receive them while they sleep.

This program also has an affiliate program so other people can sell your products, services, or events. It also keeps track of who sold what and what affiliate fees they have earned. This is a great way to market your products without a marketing budget.

HostGator
Hosting your web site and blog without problems are key issues! HostGator is great! They also have great pricing. You can host your site for as little as $7.95 per month. I pay $14.95 a month for unlimited web sites. Hooray! They also have people that speak English (good for me since I am American and only speak English and answer your questions right away and don’t treat you like you are dumb. That works for me. I have only had to call a few times, but my questions were important at the time.

Bob Proctor’s “Six Minutes to Success“

I don’t know about you, but I need some source of inspiration on a regular basis. Bob Proctor is the master of taking the wisdom of the ages and putting it into a format that is understandable and relevant. I have learned so much from Bob over the years that I can’t think of where I would be without his wisdom.

Watch his video lesson for about 90 seconds a day and answer some pointed questions. You will be empowered with this program.

Blastoff – Just for Fun

I am intrigued by this great site. Sign up for free. Buy stuff that you want (including air tickets) and get a commission on your own purchases. Hmmm… If that isn’t enough, then invite others to also join and do the same. Pretty soon, you are getting some real $$$. Hmmm….

Just though you might want to know….
