Here’s The Stuff That I Talked About In The Video

Animated GIFS – Useful when you want to demonstrate something, but don’t want to make a video.  Plus, animated GIF’s can be displayed anywhere, including within emails.  Click here for LICEcap.

WordPress Plugin for Stripe – Many people (including myself) use Stripe these days to take credit card payments online.  But when you want to accept a single, one-off payment for things like services it can be a bit of a headache.  This plugin solves that.  It comes in both a free and paid version, but the free version will work for most people.  Click here for the WP Simple Pay Lite for Stripe plugin.

You can see a demo of this plugin on one of my own pages by clicking here.

Screenshots from Your Desktop – Often times when doing blog posts or putting together web pages, you need to capture images from other web pages or from your computer screen.  There are lots of ways to do it, but this Chrome plugin makes it dead-simple.  Click here for Awesome Screenshot.

Email List Service With Killer Opt-In Forms – There are lots of email list providers out there (Aweber, Getresponse, etc.).  The problem is the opt-in forms they give you kind of suck.  But this little-known list provider solves that problem by giving you all sorts of beautiful opt-in forms, along with landing pages and full email automation. Very cool.  Click here for Convertkit.

Keyword Research and Discovery – There are a million keyword research tools.  You have to pay for the decent ones.  Or use Google’s free tool, which everyone uses, which means everyone uses the same keywords.  But there is a free tool that is actually good.  Like really good.  Plus, it searches Google, Bing, Amazon and YouTube at the same time.  Click here for this keyword tool.
