Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
This list is great! I’ve been following you on Twitter for a couple of weeks now and your resource links are outstanding. It would appear that you are one of the few marketers that actually bring value and authority before the sales pitch.
Thanks,
Brian
Thank you Brian greatly appreciated.
Hey Darren!
I’m on the way to find the Focus package & keep getting side-tracked. Yes, I do need to focus more that’s for sure. Here’s a couple of FREE resources.
Helpstream.com – Cost: FREE
Helps companies build web-based customer service communities to solve problems fast and engage customers in ways that have traditionally been cost prohibitive.
OnDialog.com – FREE
They have a FREEMIUM plan for beginners who want leads generated with highly targeted campaigns with Landing Pages, Micro Sites, and computerized multi variant testing rather than just A/B split testing.
It would be nice if you or your staff could take a look at it and see if it works. I couldn’t get all the pieces to go together and gave up when it wasn’t fun anymore. Just proves if you don’t know how to do something well enough to get results, it’s no fun…. it’s hard work. …and that’s not good.
One more free service – What the Font: ,www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont
and YouConvertIt.com a free online conversion tool.
