Tools That Work
Below are products that have earned The Solopreneur Life Seal of Approval. I use these products, they work well for my business, and I enthusiastically recommend them. Click on the product names to read what I have written about them in blog posts.
“Copywriting Phrase-Book: 501 Shortcuts to Compelling Content”
FollowUpThen, a free, easy-to-use email reminder tool
Goalscape, is a visual goal-management software. I think Goalscape is for people who are visual learners, and for people who tend to get hung up on minutae and lose sight of larger goals (that describes me).
Gravity Forms, is a WordPress plugin that makes it easy to add forms to any page or any post. Web-site expert Dana DiTimaso recommended Gravity Forms highly when she was on The Solopreneur Life BlogTalkRadio show, and the app quickly is becoming indespensible for me.
Premise is a WordPress landing-page plugin developed by Copyblogger Media. If you are familiar the Copyblogger folks, you know that Premise is an easy-to-use product that does the intended job very well. Not long ago, there weren’t any viable landing-page software options, now there are at least two: Premise and Unbounce.
reQall, is a free, simple, cloud-based, to-do-list app that does a great job with push notifications, which is a feature I need.
SoundCloud.com is a tool that, when you first lay eyes on it, you beg to try it: user-friendly, functional, and very useful for publishing audio online. The fun/smart feature: great-looking, color-customizable widgets. And it passes the Easy Peasy Test.
Things, is a simple little task-management program that works for me. I have no loyalty when it comes to task-management tools, but I always come back to Things. I think “simple” is the reason.
