Neglecting my blog

This blog post has been optimized using Keyword Winner

Yes, I admit it. I’ve been neglecting my blog lately.

Lots of things going on in my life, so trying to get even better organised!

One thing I am very keen on, but will leave to fully write-up another day, is ‘Instant MLM Squeeze Pages’ (IMSP). It sort of caught me by surprise as I really wasn’t planning on getting into anything new just yet.

Nevertheless, squeeze pages have a sort of fascination with me. You may find a few posts about them here and under my Traffic Exchanges section and they are mentioned in my Squidoo lens. That means they are important if you are advertising in TEs especially.

As this is just a quick post, here’s a quick link to IMSP:

Tools For Your Online Business

Ever wondered exactly how people ‘do’ their online business? How do they do what they do? Here’s a quick list of the Top Five tools I use on my computer to do what I do online, and I’m going to list them as far as possible in order of importance….

1. Roboform. Just about the best way I know to manage all my passwords and logins. At time of writing I have several hundred. Also a USB key version so you can take them with you to any computer.
2. OneNote - part of the Microsoft Office Suite, but I bought mine separately through Amazon. A computerised notebook which is so versatile I think it may take years to get the hang of what it can do. I have my systems eg affiliate marketing, article marketing, blogging, set out in categories and within those a separate folder for each program. A also write my ebooks using OneNote because I can move chapters around, add screenshots etc so easily. I’m sure I could learn to do much more with OneNote – when I have time. I do use paper notebooks too – lots of them.
3. Ashampoo Magical Snap. I use two monitors at the moment (need three). Magical Snap lets me take images of parts of a web page or it will scroll through a whole page and copy the lot. I can then paste into any other program, OneNote being ideal, or print it out. With OneNote it’s indispensable.
4. Googlemail. I’m thinking of actually paying for GoogleApps as I think the email in their is better still, but GoogleMail (mine is the original Gmail) lets me have mail from all of my domains come in to one place. Having linked my e-addresses, i can also send from the relevant domain too. The downside is that on outgoing messages it still shows my gmail address which is not very professional – hence my looking at GoogleApps.
5. So what will I bring in as no. 5? Has to be something I can’t work without. Eudora email was going to be my choice for this position, but if I move to GoogleApps then it’s out of the running. I do think it’s the best email program I’ve ever used. It’s latest Mozilla incarnation is not as good. So I suppose no 5 will have to be the Firefox browser. I have used a tabbed browser for years, as soon as I discovered CrazyBrowser – which sat on top of Internet Explorer. I moved to IE8 pro but have had so many issues with images not showing that I gave in and took up with Firefox. I love the plugins you can get (although for a couple of things I have had to rummage quite hard to find them).

Summary with links for more info:

no 1 – Roboform – offers a trial version

[Update: LastPass is a Free password manager add-on for Firefox which works with other browsers.]

no 2 – MS OneNote – I bought mine from Amazon

no 3 – Magical Snap also has a trial version

[Update: pixlr Grabber is a free Firefox add-in - does almost the same]

no 4 – GoogleMail US or GoogleMail UK

no 5 – Firefox – free as you know

So, there are my top five. What are yours?

Please leave a comment and let me and my other reader know what your favourite programs are.

All the best
