My Top 10 Favorite Internet Tools
by Jim Edwards ©Jim Edwards - All Rights reserved http://www.thenetreporter.com
When you make your living on the Internet, you can sometimes forget
that the tools and resources you take for granted might rate an
incredible discovery to someone who doesn't already know they exist.
Whether they help you save time, save money, or avoid frustration,
these tools and services rate my highest recommendation for just
plain making life easier, faster and cheaper.
1. Short Keys - Available free at www.shortkeys.com/lite.htm, Short
Keys allows you to create shortcut keys to cut down on repetitive
typing tasks. I absolutely love this program because of the amount
of time it saves me every single day.
2. Good Keywords - Available free at www.goodkeywords.com, Good
Keywords enables you to condense hours of keyword research into
a few seconds. Find out the top keywords your target audience searches
for so you can put your advertising dollars in the right spot to
catch the biggest fish.
3. Mail Washer - Available free at www.mailwasher.net, this program
enables you to spot and delete spam and viruses before downloading
them to your computer. With so much spam clogging my email in-box,
I couldn't survive any more without this program!
4. ClickBank - If you sell a downloadable product such as an ebook,
report, or software, you can't beat clickbank for processing credit
card payments. Not only do they take the payments and send you a
check twice a month, they also plug your product into an existing
network of thousands of affiliates who can sell it for you.
5. GoDaddy.com - Cheap, reliable, easy to use domain name registrar
that only charges $8.95 per year for each domain name you register.
Godaddy rates cheaper and just as, if not more, reliable than any
other domain registrar.
6. GroupMail - Visit www.infacta.com to download the free version
of GroupMail. The program allows you to email and do mail merge
to your entire database of contacts. It's a great way to stay in
touch with customers, family, and clients.
7. Google - As far as I'm concerned, Google.com rates as the Web's
best search engine. When I need to find something online in a hurry,
Google usually produces exactly what I want to locate!
8. Front Page - Say what you want about Microsoft, but the FrontPage
html editor has served me well for the last 5 years and counting.
Though I don't use the more advanced features, I can always count
on FrontPage to help me get my web pages done quickly and easily.
9. Smart FTP - Log on to www.smartftp.com and download a free copy
of the easiest FTP program I've every used. If you need to transfer
files to and from a web server and you know how to use Windows Explorer,
Smart FTP will enable you to upload files to the web like a pro
in minutes.
10. Note Tab Light - Perhaps my favorite tool of all. Note Tab
enables me to easily format text messages for my newsletters, manipulate
html code and remove formatting from word processing documents.
Log on to www.notetab.com for a free copy of the "light" version.
