The Week In Review - March 8, 2008
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Been a busy week here in PA and there are a few things to review this week.
First some announcements - The Mike and Erik Show podcast will be moving to a new location with a similar but different format. It will be going to Amplification Marketing News. Erik no longer has the time so Steve Roye who has helped me with my free WordPress Calls will be my new podcasting partner.
Also I will be having a telesminar with Liz Tomey Tuesday at 9pm about Joint Ventures. You really don’t want to miss this as Liz will give you three actionable plans. It won’t be replayed (she has a very special reason for this) so make sure to mark your calendar now for Tuesday, March 11th at 9pm edt. Yep that is right the time changes here in the US tonight so it will be edt. More info as we get closer.
Launches This Week
Floating Action Button - From two friends, Soren Jordansen and John Merrick, this allows you to add anything to your blog or web page. You can see one following you down this page on your left. If you have a web site or blog of your own (and you should) you need this.
Phantom Link Cloaker - This is probably the most full featured link cloaker I have tried. It has features that others don’t have. If you don’t know why you should be using a link cloaker or what it can do for your commissions scroll down and read the article about it further down this blog.
Those are the two that I liked this week. Keith Wellman’s Million Dollar March got into my email a lot but I haven’t looked at it or can I recommend it because I haven’t reviewed it.
Blast From The Past
AWeber - This is one of the absolutely most valuable tools I have. They are in my opinion the absolute best autoresponder service around. My autoresponder is my business and for the price it can’t be beat.
You can integrate it with your blog rss feed, mail multiple lists and remove the dupes and much, much more. Add in their delivery rate and anyone with an online business needs this. It should be the very first purchase you make.
You really need three things to have an online business - autoresponder, web presence (web site or blog) and a method to track what you do. The big red button everybody is looking for is started when you have a list and a way to contact them automatically. AWeber does that as well as anyone.
A few items of interest and I’ll wrap this up. Later this week I will be having a free call to answer your questions about WordPress and blogging and don’t forget to mark your calendar for Tuesday at 9pm. You will be able to listen from the web. You will get three actionable plans free that you can apply if you take the time to attend (and take action on those plans.)
Have a great week.
Mike Paetzold
